Bloody great mate. You staying a few weeks then eh! Shame youre noy here for Dippers and North Londoners next time round. Specially if the Don gets a interesting pick or 2 in Jan. But nice you can see us playing good. Hoipefully tyhey put on a display for ya, Is that what you were on about in that Msg I got?

I cant wait. Dieing for Spuds game

But Cescy is a perfect deep playmaker. Stick him in between Luiz and Matic/N'Golo and hed be perfect. But I also reckon Chalobah could give us the creativity we need too. He just needs more playing time with Kante.

Yeah I know but we could lend him out for 3 or 4 seasons and he could become another lost soul. But kid does look good. It will be an interesting closed/pre season for us. See how the Don feels about yourh with a few to choose from.

Cant see Simeone going till his contract rins out. Thats why I'm not worried about Costa joining him. He wouldn't rejoin for 2 years not now hes playing so well and HOPEFULLY be in Europe next season. But I cant see Griez joining us, Hes not said 1 kind word or even mentioned us that Ive seen. I'd donate my left dangley for the cause if he did tho. But think we need to dream elsewhere. And seems people wouldnt mind losing Willian/Pedro at all over him. I knowq I wouldn't

Getting to the stage where we either let him go on a Bosman at end of season or we TRY to shift him in Jan to make ar least some money for his wage bill this year. But maybe after 11 years service we give him a testimonial and thank him for his time. I know hes got his fauts but theres not many players stick with 1 ckuv thru thick and thin for 11 years is there. JT/Bane and Eduardo all up in June too. I'd really like to see us put JT to good use coaching or as some other role while hes taking his exams. But I see him either in US or China trying yo go out on a bang. Lets hope Wet Spam want bane in Jan. As for Veratti - Can you imagine a 3 man central midfield of Matic/N'Golo and him?? Oh Dear!!

Hope that limp isn't bad. http://metro.co.uk/2016/11/09/chelsea-fans-sweat-as-eden-hazard-limps-away-awkwardly-at-end-of-belgium-match-6247579/

Lopetegui says he arrived with it!! And with Eden limping off after their game I'm realizing why I'm not interested in national games anymore. But I suppose I realize why the players are. It did make me laugh a little with us only having 1 in the England team when not so long ago we were the backbone. But personally I think its daft having to use so many HG players in this day and age. Its an open market and clubs should be allowed to gert their players from anywhere. IF a players good enough and gets the right luck he will find the level he should be at. Whether hes English or from outer Mongolia. Once they put on our kit they're Chelsish!

With the WBs droppimg back it gives us a back 5 and it happens quite alot. But what Ive liked alot about this formation is whenever one of the lads has the ball hes got at least 2 open targets to pass to, And he doesn't just hold the ball waiting its 2 touches at most - pass and move. So entertaining to watch. I so wish we could have a do over wirg those north Londoners,

Costa hardly ever starts,

They would orobably make a winning team put together. I see that north London lot have 29 out on loanm Nowt ever gets said about them tho.

Anyone know how hes getting on at Dortmund? Ive not heard owt about him since he moved.

I always liked him but we had so many in same position he never got a fair shot. I stul love him for that 1st goal he scored agaibst the North Londoners, Pinpoint pass from Maric abd Salah had left the defenders a mile back. Shame really.

8 Goals In 12 Games Since Leaving Chelsea: The Biggest Mistake By The Blues In Recent Times? http://soccersouls.com/2016/11/10/8-goals-in-12-games-since-leaving-chelsea-the-biggest-mistake-by-the-blues-in-recent-times/

I hear everything you say thru my drugged haze and I agree with alot but I still think he lacks some power and aagression.

Interesting read from last July http://www.squawka.com/news/why-is-jose-mourinho-turning-to-victor-moses/426850 Why is Jose Mourinho keeping Victor Moses at Chelsea?

The only thing that ever pissed me off about him was rgeowing himself on the floor and giggling like a schoolgirl. Like he was competing with Drogs who could make a dive look the more ridiculous. But hes changed alot since those silly billy days. I think unless he brings in a stronger candidate I'd be happy to give him the captains armband.

I still think a Eden/Diego/Lukaku front line would be scary! Ronald Koeman tells Romelu Lukaku to leave Everton http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/730405/Romelu-Lukaku-Leave-Everton-Ronald-Koeman-Transfer-Chelsea-Manchester-United

I really hope Happy comes back stronger than ever. I reckon he will get half a game or so at Boro. Butl the next 2 windows and pre season will be very interersting eh..

I dont want to get shot of him. Hes quite coinsistent and I like him. I might be nit picking but I think we should. But its just I think we need a stronger, more powerful couple ov CBs. Hes not tall or the hardest of players is he. Ive always liked we had a strong powerful defence. One that scare shit out of strikers. Thats what I liked about Bane. Daves a pretty boy hes no good in a scrap and hes not got the height to get up for croses

I think ther lad will make an importa nt part in our future. Well I really hope so anyway. Heres a goal he scored while training with England 1st team today http://www.skysports.com/football/news/12016/10649984/nathaniel-chalobah-impresses-england-senior-team-with-wonder-strike-in-training

I'm onne of the many of us who was shrugging thinking WTF is he doing on the pitch. And I'm happy to say hes proving us all to be wrong. But he hadn't shown a bit of why we signed him ifrom Barca in the 1st place Pedro was great for Barcelona because he was able to cause damage without the ball by running hard to both win the ball back in defensive phases (Like Oscar) and also to create spaces for his teammates and stretch defenses in offensive phase. His pace is always a threat on the counter. At a slow tempo looking to dribble and create he's pretty useless. He is best suited to quick exchanges and one touch passing like we have been seeing. But I thin we could/should upgrade with the right guy for our set up.

I'm not being nasty or criticizing anyone but Luiz is the only one of the back 3 I wouldn't rush to upgrade. YES Dave has been blinding in the 3-4-3. His stats,heat charts and passing diagrams have shown it. BUT we know hes got his weaknesses. And Cahil has looked much better too but I cant see im being a starter after a transfer window. We have 2 great young fast CBs in Happy and Christensen and keepng Dave would give us some great depth. I honestly think tho the Don will be looking to upgrade both lads. I like Dave alot, hes a great worker and a solid player with a good character but theres no room for sentiment if we want to keep progressing and dominate Europe. We shall see.

Everton full match Leicester Southampton This is the only Mounure vid I can see on Youtube I'm afraid but theres a Torrent of it you can download

I admit to 1.2 and 4 from list. Couldn't be happier to say right noiw I coildn't be happier to be proven wrong,
