Hi friend! No, yesterday's game does not change anything because yesterday Pogba has played after an injury without competition rhythm (despite that he has not done a bad game taking into account his recent injury). I repeat again, Pogba is a spectacular player, the perfect prototype of a box to box, but for me he is not a creative player like Fabregas, Xavi Hernandez or Koke, which is just what we need, someone who can organize the pace of our game. In fact Pogba can not play as a midfielder with a single companion because he needs two companions as Vidal and Pirlo to play comfortable. Fabregas can play in central midfield with Matic without needing anyone else. Instead, Thiago Alcantara can have that role without problems. But he also has some problems like not having played 100 first division matches, injuries, certain anarchic aspects .... Maybe say "a hundred times better than" was an exaggeration / mistake on my part, I admit, but personally I prefer Thiago Alcantara than Pogba. And I think the amounts of money being handled about Pogba's crazy, it seems that we are talking about Messi or Ronaldo. He is a global star with no doubt, but we can not mortgage our future by a single player. Yaya Toure respect I can only say one thing. He had to leave Barcelona because they preferred to players like Busquets, Xavi or Iniesta than him. That does not mean that Yaya Toure was a bad player. It just means that Barcelona would prefer more creative players than perfect box to box. They are just different points of view. Regards.

Hi friend! Inigo Martinez is a good player for Liverpool, but not for Chelsea. He is a type of player like Laporte or Varane but I think Inigo Martinez has a lower level to them. A step lower. It is the typical player who has appeared in Spain in the last years; with ability to get the ball from behind without hitting balls with nonsense, able to play with a lot of maturity and leadership despite being a fairly young player, strong in the tackle ... Also he is the typical player from Pais Vasco always strongly on the grass and with lots of courage. I think he can be a good player for Liverpool. For example, in Spain he could play perfectly in Atletico Madrid or Valencia, but not for Real Madrid or Barcelona. Although perhaps 20 million pounds are many millions, but Real Sociedad never sell cheap. Regards.

Hi friends! Obviously I respect your opinion. But I think that Pogba in aspects of creativity he is not a top player (when I say creativity I mean the ability to move a team and organize the rhythm of the game). Perfect as a box to box and a midfielder with great strength, but do not think Pogba can play as Star midfielder in a team if he does not have close two players as Pirlo and Vidal. But as always, I respect what you say, are only different points of view. Regards.

Thiago Alcantara is a hundred times better than Pogba. And cheaper, easier to sign than Poggba and more spectacular. Jose wanted to sign him for Real Madrid but the president refused to sign him to respect the gentlemen's agreements between Barcelona and Real Madrid. If I have to do something crazy I would sign Thiago Alcantara by 40 million pounds. By the way, Koke is The Guy. Regards.

75 million pounds is something crazy for both Bale as Pogba. Makes no sense whatsoever. But I still think that Bale in Real Madrid and La Liga has nothing to do. Real Madrid is a team designed to play for Ronaldo. I believe that in Premier League Bale would have a different performance. I think he was born to play in England, but it is also true that playing for Tottehnam is more likely to have more spaces than playing for Chelsea. But by 40 million pounds could be a good signing. Never for 75 million pounds. Bale is out of market. Sometimes football is crazy ... Regards.

Cristiano PENALdo <_< :rant:

Thiago Alcantara to Manchester City ? I do not think so. But if Thiago is in the market (maybe he wants to leave Bayern despite Guardiola continues in Germany) we should fight for him.

True, but within 30 days they will have won their fourth Champions League since 2006. The success of Barcelona is not only Guardiola, also is Frank Rijkaard, Carles Puyol and Xavi. Barcelona is a model that works well for a long time, not only since from Guardiola. But Luis Enrique's Barcelona is very close to winning three trophies (La Liga, Cup and Champions League) without stealing anyone, not like Guardiola (Ovrebo or the scandal of Bernabeu). Regards.

For me Barcelona is better with Luis Enrique than with Guardiola. With Guardiola Barcelona just played Tiki Taka and Rondo, as a kind of offensive Catenaccio, boring and frustrating at times. In contrast with Luis Enrique they play spectacular football which mixes Tiki Taka with vertical clearance and counterattack. Guardiola was just big with Messi. Despite winning two Bundesliga, I think Guardiola has failed with Bayern. Luis Enrique is a courageous coach ... Regards.

It would be fantastic news. I also think this signing will be done soon. Griezmann is the typical player who Jose use to like him. Versatile, quick, with ability to work and fight for the team, ability to take the final pass and, above all, GOAL, much ability to make goal. We can not only play with Diego Costa and Hazard as players with ability to goal. Hazard - Diego Costa - Griezmann would be a fantastic attack. Besides his versatility make him an strategic signing because Griezmann would play as Right-Winger as first choice, but if Diego Costa needs rest or have problems with the hamstring again we could play with Griezmann as forward and Willian as Right-Winger without that could minimize our performance. Hopefully we can sign Griezmann fast and we can focus on sign Koke and Varane to close a dream team. Regards.

Hi friend! Yes, according to the Spanish digital newspaper "El Confidencial" Griezmann representative, Jorge Mendes, he is trying to bring Griezmann with us for next season. http://www.elconfidencial.com/deportes/futbol/2015-05-12/jorge-mendes-mueve-sus-hilos-para-llevar-a-griezmann-al-chelsea-de-mourinho_791483/ "El Confidencial" says: 1. Jorge Mendes is preparing the signing of Chelsea Griezmann. 2. Griezmann clause could be more or less 65 million euros (£ 46.66 million pounds) although it is a confidential clause. 3. Simeone does not consider Griezmann as an untouchable player. in fact Simeone like to have a similar forward as Diego Costa. 4. Real Sociedad, the former team of Griezmann, would have taken the 20% of the money from their clause. Real Sociedad is a small club coached by Moyes and perhaps us we could reach agreements with them to give players on loan. 5. Filipe Luis would form part of the operation. Regards.

Hi friend! Koke is the perfect player for us. 1. Perfect for playing near Matic for his ability to be a holding midfielder. 2. Perfect to get the ball from behind and organize our game. 3. Perfect for one-touch play and to increase the speed of movement of the ball to make our game more unpredictable. 4. Perfect as a team player, always willing to sacrifice for the collective aspects and function as a clockwork. 5. Perfect to adapt to as midfielder from the side or even N.10. 6. Perfect to give rest to Fabregas. 7. Perfect to recover the style of play That we have done at the beginning of the season. 8. Perfect for Jose and his philosophy of play. I think Koke is The Guy. Regards.

Hi friend! Koke! He is exactly what we need. Regards.

losers losers Gunners!

Hi friend! I agree with you. In fact, this season we played with Matic - Ramires - Cesc - Oscar in midfield with Oscar (as you say) asRW. I just would think to sell Oscar if we receive an offer of 45/50 million pounds. He can be very important for us in the future and I think that gradually he is improving but I think his performance could have been better, especially after selling Juan Mata. But it would be perfect be able to sign Koke and have Oscar with us and play with Matic - Koke - Fabregas - Oscar with three creative players in midfield constantly rotating thei positions with very fast circulation of balloon as the beginning of the season. Regards.

I'm pretty happy with the debut and performance of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and I think we should not be so demanding with our young players or they will play with a level of anxiety totally unbearable. We can not behave as journalists or rival fans. Ruben Loftus-Cheek is 19 and he has been with us since he was 8 years old. More than 10 years learning what is Chelsea from within. If we kill the guy for being a little nervous the first day in his debut which he has been waiting more than 10 years... I think we'd be making a BIG mistake. By the way, for me it was a good debut. Regards.

If Oscar continues with us (something I think is very likely to happen) that rules out the signing of Koke? I believe that Jose wants to do with Oscar the same work we've done with Hazard and make them our franchise players from youth. But I prefer Koke than Oscar... Regards.

Courtois Cahill John Terry © Azpilicueta Filipe Luis RLC Aké Fabregas Cuadrado Brown Solanke Although Jose is capable of putting 11 young players. Regards to ALL.

Have said Jose something about his injury? it's something important / serious? Hopefully Zouma can be well soon. Good luck friend! Regards.

He has played a good game but without doing anything special because the match has not demanded anything special to him. RCL has played in a position perhaps a little uncomfortable for him and with Mikel as a partner instead of Matic (play with Matic It is easier for any player). But he has not been an disappointment or something like that. He has had a good performance but without luxuries. RLC did not want to risk to avoid making mistakes on their first day. And that's good. For example Zouma played very nervous at first giving passes without any risk, and with the passing of time he has gained confidence and now he is indisputable for us. I'm not worried at all. I trust RLC. Regards.

Filipe Luis deserves to stay with us. I'd be very sorry if we got rid of him. Regards.

Step by step. RLC has been at an appropriate level but he looked a little nervously because he is his first day. But he has made an acceptable game but in a position that (IMO) is not the one where he is most comfortable. I would like to see With Matic the two upcoming matches. Zouma at first I was also a bit nervous and is now a different player and fully consolidated. RLC only need minutes to be gaining experience. Today was not his best day, but I continue betting very hard for him. Just today the match has been developed without allowing him stand out and demonstrate their quality. But in the next game, without such exigency and in another position, RLC will play better and go slowly consolidating. Step by step. Regards.

I would like that Filipe Luis can have a good performance today and the remaining games until the end of the season and he could stay with us. From long ago that I was not so excited about the debut of a player. I wish all the luck in the world to RLC. I think he has something special inside to be one of our franchise players for the next decade. Good luck dude! Regards.
