Wow such attacking flowing football from RM... 33% possession and nobody's complaining about Atletico.

Why would he go? 3 years time Ronaldo will either be retired, RM will have flogged him back to MU, or he'll be in MLS. Can't see Bale being there fore much longer tbh. Modric will be gone, he'll be 33, Ramos, Casillas etc will be gone... Cant see him leaving - he has the opportunity to be in the centre of one of the great European power houses of the next decade, and he'll be loved by the fans. Plus Jose has had the RM experience and also he made Hazard the man he is. Etc etc.

We don't need Zouma for this.

That depends if he buys us Messi or not

De Gea/Courtois Iva Fonte Terry Azpi Matic Cesc Sanchez Hazard Kane Costa

They were pretty shit away from home.

If Luiz wasn't having the game of his life on our day and Silva was injured we would have slaughtered them. Pretty sure Motta is out too. Sigh...we could be parking the bus against Barca right now

Oh David Luiz give us a wave

lol and 4-3 agg Bayern. Cya later Porto, your inner Jose does not approve the bus you parked.

I should probably modify my post

Point 1: I brought him into it because by no means have you been respectful of Oscar - I'm sure you can agree to that. You were the guy who said he couldn't make a 5 yard pass, right? Well imo that's not respectful. But anyway. Point 2: I know how good Desailly was (even if I would never have been old enough to remember) but my point is that his main centre back partner was Leboeuf and I agree, it was probably the best we've seen, but JT mostly started playing in the season before Jose came here - the year Desailly left. Carvalho I do remember and he was fantastic. Which is why I said I wasn't sure. I also remember Alex, but to say he's better than Cahill? He has different qualities and I think he was more proactive in his defending but was he really better than Cahill? Not in my opinion. Gallas I can't remember. I have this strange memory of Gallas playing as a left back, though. Point 3: If your last sentence was meant to patronise me, then that ain't nice. Otherwise, I know what you meant - it's right. But meh. I know Cahill's recent rough patch has tainted people's view of him but he is a good defender. He's right up there even if you disagree that he's the best. If only JT had 5 more seasons in the tank - him and Zouma together would have been fantastic.

Lol, because slagging off Oscar for the last 3 months solid is so professional. But I'll bite. Desailly only played with him for a short time, and few games. Gallas, as far as I remember, wanted to leave and threatened to score own goals to force through a transfer to Arsenal. Carvalho I already said could dispute my claim. Alex, despite being a good defender, still hasn't won what Cahill has. That was my point.

^This. Gazza could be JT's most successful CB partner, probably ever. Although prime Ricky probably edges him. And as JT gets older next season, it'd be incredibly dumb to get rid of him now, unless we get John Stones or Varane, there is no reason to.

We could always sign the Argentine Branislav...

If we sell Moses to Stoke imo that'd be a good loan team for him next season. Then we'll see what his first team future looks like, pending Koke, RLC, Mikel, and Ramires' futures. Because this lad could easily replace both Ramires and Mikel.

Worrying about the SNP. Who the suck do they think they are trying to boss around England? It won't be long before we ask for a referendum of our own. (sorry if this is the wrong thread)

:D

Wow man calm down. I meant in addition to Koke, it would be silly. I do worry for his injury record, though.

IMO it'd be a short sighted signing. Colkett will be coming of age in 2-3 years and he'll be entering the team - just as Fabregas begins to decline. An ideal replacement for me.

I don't think Jose would be so stubborn to sub him in the first minute of every game

http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/04/zouma--staying-compact.html Good read.

Ring your barbers then, Jose has already said he'll be getting minutes next season. Another way IMO, and Hazard's next progression...him as a false 9. Courtois Iva GC/KZ JT/RV CA/FL Matic RLC Koke Cesc Diego Hazard OR Matic Cesc Koke RLC Diego Hazard (RLC in the Ramires role)

Or Cesc. Plays false 9 for Spain, could be a good option.

Once he returns from his loan he's eligible for selection, yes? We might need him in the last few matches.
