Unionjack

I bloody hope so. Maybe hes just trying to punk everyone and in the last week he is going to give us a couple of upgrades. We ain't asking for household names that cost a arm and a leg but if he gives us a Witsel or an Aránguiz, and a RAM upgrade or maybe a proper number 10 it would put a smile on everyones faces and do the world for strengthening the squad.

Saw it when it went up on YT. Have to give you kudos but gotta say you look and play more like our north London neighbors

Oh happy days are here again! Where we all going for the piss up? He should be on a loan plan like Bamford so when the time comes he could be useful to us he could then step up. A 10 minute 1st team career wont make him a great help to the 1st team.

Why havent we at least tried for Varane? I do think tho if we pay over £25 he should take Cahills place and then give Happy some games instead of JT Amazing how we only paid £23 mill for our back 4.

I do really love the lad. He has flashs of sheer brilliance. The work he puts in upfield defending I think is the reason Mou heeps him on. But you must agree we do need him to give more offensively. He just doesnt do a number 10 job (and I dont think Willian can neither) I would be over the moon if he went out this year and really did everyones heads in. But we have been saying the same thing each season now and I dont know how much longer we should give him. But we will be shouting him on as always so lets see what the lad can do.

I havent read anywhere about Mikel leaving (unfortunately). And as he is supposedly used to shut down games it didnt work on a few occasions, normally away games, when opposition scored in final minutes. Im sorry, Im just not understanding our reasoning this summer. If Mou was to come out and say look we really do need to go in a different direction because the new stadiums going to cost a fortune and we need to penny pinch I could understand it. But to (apparently) not go for a quite cheap Wisel and or Aranguiz that would both do a very good job yet people are ok to look at this guy, then thats summet I dont get.

So its ok to bring in a 35 year old hasbeen that wont really help us at all but not go out and buy a world class player that would help us immensely?

Been catching up on 1st football for a few weeks. Think Costa is going to be great. He was one (if not) the best player on the pith today. Bayern were all over Inter. Should be couple of good games on at 4am GMT. Manure vs San Jose and Barca vs LA Galaxy. Should be interesting but dificult to watch 2 TVs at that time in the morning.

Anyone notice that the Firefox Adbloc Plus addon has been stopped on Cricfree? http://cricfree.sx/ But as its an ad driven free stream site its no real pain to click on 2 little 'x's to be able to watch 24 hour Sport free.

I dont mind the lad being around but Id much rather he be sitting on the bench!

I think mine was more of a sarcastic nature

Easy choice in my eyes bud. Cahills gone!

What another lucky escape we made eh! Not like he was one of the best players on the pitch today. We did such a good job not buying all these useless players.

Yeah I bet theyre ruing the day they bought a fast as furk young talented guy that scores his 1st goal in just over 2 minutes. Bleedin ijits! Who would want a player like that eh!

I agree with most of what you said. I do hope we sign those 2 lads plus at least a full back for Luis. (Personally I wouldn't stop there but I can't do owt about that I'm afraid.) Totally agree with you concerning Zouma/Stones (seeing as it doesnt seem my dream of a Zouma/Varane partnership is possible) I really dont know enough about Traore to give a comment on him. Its a risk using him instead of a more complete player and I would really like to have Griezmann. But the way I see this season its going to be a gamble. If it doesn't pan out I hope we dont panic buy come the winter sales. I hope they just re look at it next summer and spend some money. We will just have to see how the first couple of months go and hope the lads have a great season.

I just dont know what to believe but I like the guy and can imagine if he linked up with Matic/Cescy it would work great. Can always hope. http://metro.co.uk/2015/07/21/agent-reveals-chelsea-in-talks-with-zenit-over-axel-witsel-transfer-deal-5305851/

Its hard on the eyes isn't it mate! Makes me wish for temporary selective blindness. And I do understand the need for pulling other teams to pieces, apart from it often being factual it makes us feel a bit better about our own problems!

I get ya bud - was just playing devils advocate

I know for whatever unmentioned reasons whether its the club pulling the purse strings tight due to new stadium being built or some other daft reason Mous not going into the market for upgrades, how would the Bartomeu win effect them transfer wise? Ive seen theyre keeping Turan.

He hasnt got the personality to do it. Same goes with Tebo. It takes someone that all the lads trust,respect and would get behind. Someone that can give players a pat on the head or a kick up the arse to wake up.

In a perfect world my friend yes I could agree with you. To not spend a penny, to bring in kids to spend their entire career as a Blue, retire as a Chelsea legend and to be replaced by yet another of our kids, To be self sufficient would be ideal. But unfortunately this is not a perfect world - yet - or maybe never will be. I dont have the faith in starting a kid that doesn't have a hours PL time. It might be ok for 10 minutes on a cold monday night in Stoke but in a top half of the table clash or in Europe it would be crazy. Thats why Mou hasn't done it. I know its a big Catch 22 that they cant get experience without playing but its a very big gamble to play them and I would rather them take it very slowly or we sign a much more complete player than us not compete at the highest level. IF we was a mid table club with no hopes of Europe or winning the PL then yes I agree we should experiment and put in loadsa our academy but we are now a product of our achievments.

WHY NOT?? We should always be trying to win at all costs. Always be trying to improve the squad. We are a long shot from being anywhere near perfect. I just dont understand why so many of us are content with how we are now.

Oh no - lifes always a barrel of laughs, the only thing that manages to get under my skin is Chelsea, and where it only used to take an hour or so to get over a loss it tends to take a night and a pocket fiull of money now! Must be getting old. Wedding dos are either one of the best things you've done in ages or they bring out all the little rows and scraps break out in all corners of the room.

Its not the sort of need to get wrecked that normally clears your head and you're fine the next morning. Its like feeling an impending doom lurking and the only cure will be watching us kick shit out of the gooners. So not much longer to live with it. Almost as bad tho is someone actually said on here lately it didn't matter if we lost to them. Almost brought on temporary blindness!
