If he chose Icardi then Bamfords career would have been over. Falcao is nearing the end to his football career which leaves Bamford room to grow in order to overtake Falcao in 3 years or so.

First of we already concede goals even if we play with 3 midfielders, having 2 strikers can assure us the first goal which is vital. It's true that City have problems because of the 4-4-2, why? it's because they do not adapt. They keep using the same formation over and over again. Even when they play against us or against any other top 4 and that's their mistake. I suggested the 4-4-2 only for when we face midtable clubs and that's the difference. As for our defensive duties it has been our downfall for so many games this season. We failed against PSG, Spurs, Newcastle etc because we lacked in offense and also because we relied too much on our defense. If you want you can look back at our game vs Newcastle for example we backed off too many times and that's why we conceded 2 goals. The reason why we usually play better in the 2nd half is because we play offensively. That's also why we usually concede the first goal and then we get motivated to win the game or we draw. 4-4-2 provides us with pure attacking force but also with balance against the lesser sides. Look at how Fergie has done with that formation or Arrigo Sacchi. Falcao is not worldclass atm and thats not what I meant but I said that when he's inform he truly is worldclass. We also have already won the PL so we don't have the pressure we had last season so this tactic could prove to be great imo.

How did City manage to score so many goals in the 13-14 season then? Don't underestimate the 4-4-2 formation. We have Nemanja and Cesc in midfield, these 2 have played together everytime last season. It's not like Ramires offered a lot in defense last season. He was horrible when we played the 4-3-3, Cesc didn't play too good either. Oscar offers no creativity whatsoever, Cuadrado does not look like Chelsea quality. You overestimate midtable clubs and underestimate what 2 strikers of worldclass level can do upfront.

Yeah probably but we would stomp midtable teams with that line-up.

If he takes a paycut then I have no problem with this signing. If he can find his form then this would be the signing of the season for sure, 4-4-2 with him and Costa upfront would be a force.

Jetro is not ready trust me. He does have potential though.

Alderweireld is not a full back at all. He is exactly like Vertonghen not better and not worse, he is a centreback that plays as a fullback for some games. I hope that we do not get him Zouma is waaaaaaay better and we have many more options for the fullback area. For example Jose Gaya, Rodriguez, Clyne etc.

It's very unlikely that these reports are true but what if it is? Who can replace him? Harry Kane?

We should make a deal that includes a loan with option to buy. If he plays good then we will buy him for the proposed money we already agreed with Monaco if not we will not buy him.

Too much money for him

"Sky sports" serious

Mou talks to him on the phone and that will be enough lol

If we are seriously interested then he'll easily choose us over City.

We will never bring this guy to Chelsea period. Madrid and Barca are involved which means that we have no chance.

Levy can fuck off

I can see this happening after that there has been talks of us partnering up with Marseille.

Link?

Mourinho: Chelsea's best trophy this season is Loftus-Cheek! Mourinho admits that “academies are a process”, but says that Loftus-Cheek has proven himself to be the finest graduate of the system in 2014-15, rating his emergence above the youth side's many title wins. “It starts with the facilities but it ends with the co-operation between the academy and the first team. At this moment we are working well. The players are the best witness of that work and they feel it. We know we are going in the right direction,” he told reporters. “This year, the most important title for the academy was Ruben, not the Uefa Youth League or the FA Youth Cup. It was Ruben: the best trophy. I’m excited but I keep emotional control. If I don’t I’d lose the players or help them go the wrong way but, yes, I am excited – but with stability. At this minute, that’s what they need.” Mourinho has been tipped to strengthen his squad this summer, but he insists that any potential new signings will not block Loftus-Cheek’s path to the first-team. “Maybe he’ll end up being better than anyone I buy and, if that is the case, he’ll play and the one I buy won’t,” he added.

It's Sky Sports though... let's just assume it's real then.

ROFLMAO! Perez is such a cunt it's unbelievable wow!

Jose Mourinho snubbed Real Madrid's 'approach' to replace Carlo Ancelotti as manager - Guillem Balague Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho rejected a potential return to Real Madrid as manager, according to Guillem Balague. Barcelona ensured Real would end the season without the domestic title as Lionel Messi’s solitary strike at Atletico Madrid earned the Catalan side a fifth La Liga title in seven seasons. The result means Real have won just one Primera Division crown in seven years and their latest fruitless campaign - including a Champions League semi-final exit to Juventus - has brought Carlo Ancelotti's future further into question. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11835/9854930/jose-mourinho-snubbed-real-madrids-approach-to-replace-carlo-ancelotti-as-manager-guillem-balague

Emma Watson is not all that. *gets popcorn*

He doesn't fit us he fits Arsenal. We need a box to box player in my opinion.

Overrated, I don't want him anywhere near this club.
