But neither does Oscar in offence. They both have great engines and touches of excellence plus are both handy at high up defending but as far as offering assists n goals they neither. really offer enough, After watching the preseason games upto now the strikers arent being given the ball enough and thats a big problem. And with our central midfield not being creative enough with Cescy not having much room to move he cant get balls forward so he needs help there and we know Rakel (Mikel/Rami) doesnt help much at all. (but I wont go into that as it hurts my brain)

We must be bloody loopy.

You mean the ones in the academy? I mean young players that have been playing regular 1st team football. You can't compare the academy with players we have been looking at. "perhaps there could be a little more rotation in our back 4" Yeah, Mous big on rotation.

I'll ask again as nobody has answered but WTF didn't he have the op like it was reported he was going to as soon as the season finished.? He shoulda been on that operating table on the monday morning after Sunderland. Unless of course as I'm sure like Sh0n3x we all hope that its just a little ruse dreamed up by Mou but we are going to be in the shite if that soddin hammy has packed up already.

I should bloomin remember after the manure game.

Hope the lad gets some time on the pitch today. Kickoffs just starting. AM got a bloomin good side again. Buying Vieto and Martinez together and Griezmann. Greedy buggas! You would think they would give us Griezmann seeing we let them have Torres and Filipe back eh.

My thoughts exactly even down to penaltys. With Hazard scoring our goal and them scoring in the last 5 minutes. Plus we absolutely batter them cause I fuckin hate gooners!!!

What we must try to remember is that Mou is trying to build a side that will be dominant not just for now but for years into the future. The thing I have problems with getting my head around just like many others is that this is a side of Mou we haven't seen before. We have always seen the Mou with his love for 'complete' players. The players for now. Now hes getting players who will be stepping in ready when lads like Bane/Cahill/JT. Young,good players with lotsa potential. practicing and getting time playing with the team for when the time does come (sooner rather than later hopefully) they can step up and take their place. So yes we might be paying a bit more than we should but remember this is going towards our future.

Ive only read his press interview and as we should all be clwar about by now ON HERE its very difficult to get someones true meanings by reading text only. Theres no telling what expression is on their face,tone of voice,sarcasm,anger etc. People can quickly jump to the wrong conclusion.

Old catch 22 syndrome. Cant play if hes not match ready and cant get match ready unless he plays in matchs! This is a perfect reason why a B team would be usefull.

Well I'm not a seuth sayer but Mou has said it before if hes thought a players not fit enough yet.

We'll give the lads a shout for you mate.

You'll be ok to get a copy of the game tho yeah? I know its not the same as watching it live but if you manage to not see the score ..... I always get more nervous watching games on the telly.

Well it doesn't seem it would matter if he was one of ours as Mou doesn't seem to think hes Chelsea ready. Mourinho was asked about new signing Kenedy, who was given permission by Fluminense to play against Barcelona on Wednesday. "He’s not ready to play against Arsenal so there’s no point in speaking about him because he isn’t ready to be a choice."

No chance we could loan Ozil for 4 or 5 years years?

http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2015/7/31/9076883/john-terry-falcao-top-top-player This is what I was saying when that report came out about Mou asking JT and Cahill what their thoughts were before we got him. Im all for giving the lad a fair crack of the whip and he might just turn out very good. Plus we should now be doing all we can to get behind him. But I just find it daft that with the structure of our scouts and the experience the whole transfer team has WTF would they go ask the players that have only seen him for a few minutes their thoughts. Kinda makes a mockery out of our transfer system a bit.

Whys that bud?

Even tho Cahill needs being out I think at the moment manure NEED him more than us. Their central defence against PSG was bad. They apparently now offering Evans in with their deal. Now I see that as a plus for us.

Are we worried about Costas hammy yet again? Ive not seen a thing about him since the game. We are going to be in the shite if it starts playing him up again. WTF DIDN'T HAVE THE OP???

Dont know you from Adam mate but I know how much time goes into running a busy site and sometimes life has to win. You;ve all done a great job over the years and built the place up to be the best Chelsea site there is. For that you should all be proud.

You got a season ticket for the Shed End?

Nice seats. Im in 237 so a bit out.

Wellll I got 2 tickets. Originally got one for East Stand middle right but managed to get one for West Stand middle towards the corner. So depending how mischievous (or how nice the Guinness is tasting) is where I start out. But I really dont like gooners.

I really dont know if the lad will ever get to wear Chelsea blue but what I do think is we could have taken him out to the States to at least check him out playing in the team. We gave Kenedy a bloody go and he isn't even in the squad!
