I think some of you guys should apply for the job, because the decisions which we have to make seem pretty simple... Buy a new full-back, bench Ivanovic. Buy a new central defender and bench Cahill, or give Zouma more playing time. Cahill isn't up for the job anymore, we need fresh blood! Now it's Brane, last time i checked it was Azpilicueta, next time maybe Cahill? Ahh even better, Eden Hazard, why? Because he is "fat", unselfish and has become a money-grabbing piece of **** and doesn't love Chelsea anymore.... Football is a TEAM sport, but it's easier to find one scapegoat, i see. Buy a new right winger, because Willian isn't effective as someone like Reus. Ancelotti would have welcomed Ramires anytime at Real Madrid, but Ramires knows nothing, because there are a lot of football genius around here. We should ask our Daddy to buy as a new toy, maybe the Eiffel tower? The kids just wanna have fun.... Against Swansea, instead of Ramires, Zouma came in, but that wasn't the right call either, almost always moaning is the way to go! Then we should play like Brendan Rodgers did against Chelsea, try to dominate and play the high defensive line, Avb all over again. That time, we truly considered us invincible. Gerrard: "“That game against Chelsea, with the slip, our tactical approach was probably inexperienced for the whole game - going out to try and blow Chelsea away." I think that's the best strategy, do we have an agreement? In the modern era it's very difficult for some people to show respect. Like Mourinho said, everyone is now a football manager and knows best. Mourinho won the league, but it isn't an achievement anymore, because the competitors weren't up for it, doesn't count, simple as that. In the last couple of months i wasn't so happy either, i cried a lot for the Eiffel tower or some youth, but now the season has started we should get behind the team and the manager. Mourinho has shown more than once, that he is still one of the best coaches in the world, he instructs Ivanovic to play that way, sometimes he has to be more defensive, remember the game against Arsenal/Sanchez? He kept him quiet, till it was over! This isn't Fifa where you take only some numbers into consideration, you have to look at the whole package. We are the Champions, we are the team to beat, a tie against Swansea isn't the end of the world, we will bounce back! The approach against City will be different, a complete new game. But if you guys decide, Mourinho isn't trustworthy or has lost his touch, because a league title and poor results in pre-season are the worst, maybe it's time for Abracadabra to interfere...but that would be a very sad day for me....

Remember last season? CMS knows best!

Please don't go... Wish you all the best, liked your posts, sad day.

Terry is 17 years at the club, that is something you do not throw away easily! Stones has a lot of years in him, he is loved by the supporters and the club does not need the money. I can understand the toffees, it's gonna get expensive! I have only one wish, do not be to harsh, when he is going to make mistakes! You can't have it both ways! Stones still lacks experience! But is passing is so much better than Zoumas, lol.

Loftus-Cheek can not be worse than Ramires, not in this world!

This is a perfect game for the user psgsuckmydick", where is he when we need him most?! I expect a win, after the knockout we have to teach them a lesson!

Treble...pure gold!

Who do you prefer? I think that Mourinho is going to use Willian as a winger, than there is Cuadrado, who has only got 300 minutes. What about Moses, he wasn't that bad at Stoke^^, maybe he can step up his game and redeem himself. Furthermore he is homegrown and wanted by several clubs... Luke Shaw: 'That's a tough one but I'm going for Victor Moses, purely for his pace and power found it a very difficult test.' Salah, Traore and other hungry youngsters are waiting for their chance... If Pedro wants to come and would only cost around £17 mio., than it's difficult to decide. I would like to have a new midfielder, who can play instead of Fabregas or generally can heat up the competition with Oscar. In my point of view we need more stability in midfield, i can't get over the game against PSG or other Big Games. But maybe Mourinho thinks that Loftus-Cheek is up for the job, i don't know. I would welcome the Eiffel tower, but that seems rather unlikely. Ramires has to get in shape, but he isn't creative, is he?! We need to do our business step by step, our next target is John Stones, who would be a great addition to the squad. I don't want our defensive to play so deep, we need to explore the whole space. Now that's going too far, Mourinho knows best, the squad is good enough for all the competitions. If only Falcao gets back to his best, we could have a revival of the good old 4-4-2, absolutely deadly and wonderful. A few quality additions would be nice, but it isn't life-threatening...

Mourinho is doing a Ferguson, other Clubs spend more, Chelsea wins more, simple as that. Begovic and Falcao are already here, maybe Stones and Witsel will come, that isn't too bad. Yeah i wish we sign up the Eiffel tower, but that is just a wish...

Stones will do what is best for his family. He smart and knows that he is a fan favorite at Goodison Park and already earning good money. He is only 21 years old and his career is ahead of him, he doesn't have to rush making a decision... I think one of his goals is playing in the Euros 2016, therefore he needs to be a starter for a Premier-League Club, i don't know if Jose can guarantee him that. Same goes for Zouma, but John Terry's place is out of question in the Chelsea Team. One of the guys will fall by the wayside... I would love having John Stones at Chelsea, no harm meant!

“We were champions without Frank." Great interview, Mourinho is absolutely spot on. But i still believe that someone big is coming.

Give this man a fucking rest! Be grateful for what he has done so far for this club...i am sure he knows how to get in shape when it really matters. Hazard is never ever injured, a modern gladiator needs time off, his holidays are as always way to short. There are much bigger problems than pointing the finger in July at EDEN HAZARD! No offense...

Götze:"i like chinese food, especially sushi." Interview with Xinhua

What a brilliant signing that would be.... Bayern will try everything to get this genius, so Guardiola can stick it to Mourinho...

Götze has to be the number 10, then he goes bananas.... I still remember the foul from Ramires, his injury record isn't that good? What will a guy like Shawcross do to him? I don't think that Bayern Munich is going to offload him yet, his potential is huge, some people keep telling that he is the best german football player since Lothar Matthäus...

Do you think that after Oscar participate in a preseason he becomes worldclass? What will happen when the Copa America 2016 takes place? Oscar will play in that tournament, therefore he can't get a full preseason, will he be mediocre again? In some games in the second half of the season Oscar offered nothing to the team, therefore Mourinho had to take him off early. That's not normal! Does Mourinho really trust Oscar in the big away games? Oscar is a high potential, but he has to show it more often, today he is inconsistent as fuck and after Christmas he fades away... If Oscar doesn't improve and Pedro joins the team, i hope Loftus-Cheek can take his spot.

I would never hurt anyone just because he doesn't live up to his potential, that's wrong, sorry! If Oscar can't cut it here next season, then no one with a brain is going to pay >£40 for the Brazilian. Allegri is coming with big pockets, after the sale of Vidal he has money to burn and he is clearly looking for a number 10... Weighing up the pros and cons, there is a decision to be taken care of. On his day Oscar is a brilliant player, that should be taken into consideration, but after the winter he is less the player he once was. For example his assist against ManUnited was a brilliant piece of work, but in a lot of the games, when the team needs him the most, he fades away...with all due respect, Fabregas knows those problems himself... I like Oscars shooting technique, but he has to use that gift more often. It reminds me a little of Kroos, who is also a master of squandering that ability. Mourinho has confirmed, that he is looking for a new midfielder. If it is possible, i would like to have someone like Koke and Oscar both in the squad, but that doesn't come cheap. It depends on the system, the money and who Mourinho trusts. We all know that the Portuguese is one of the smartest guys in the business and you can't out think him. If a big offer is on the table, i can't predict his decision!

Stones would be a great addition to the squad. Varane seems impossible, but Stones and Zouma could be one hell of a partnership. His price tag is huge, but with only 21 years of age he has years to come and he is English. That doesn't beat down the price either.^^ He has proven himself in the League and brings everything to table to become a world class center back. Get it done!

Pele had once labelled Robinho as his successor, therefore he isn't always right. What do you think of Hamann? Before the second game Bayern Munich vs. Porto he predicted an easy win for Porto. You don't need to be a great player to analyse the game. There are other qualities needed. You don't know if some people are working for a club, so please stop calling people freshmen... In the end everyone is entitled to have their own opinions. If you can't stand it, maybe this forum isn't the right place for you... Next season Oscar has to man up. The missing pre-season is the silver lining for his supporters, we'll see. I for one am very sceptical about his abilities to get the job done in the Big Games!

I like most of the posts from didierforever! I think he has got good football knowledge and he knows how to justify his opinion; if necessary he grudges no pains bringing statistics to the table...he never ever gives up and is almost always interfering. Starting an argument with this dude is gonna get tough! You can't bring a knife to a gunfight... I strongly recommend him not to change his attitude. I am looking forward to an argument in the future, maybe my dislike of Reus will be enough, lol.

That's a big signing! Congratulations Van Gaal! He is going to strengthen their squad immensely. Yes, he is injury prone, but he is also the captain of the world cup winning squad, he is the man who almost won every fucking title. Bastian is a great character and leader, he gives them identity. Van Gaal knows what he is doing! Bastian is not well suited to the tiki taka and the high pressing, but in England he is allowed way more space and without high pressure, he is able to pick up the ball from their defence and dictate the play. Depay, Schweinsteiger, Darmian, next a CB and maybe one or two others, great business, good for the competition, no wonder, why Mourinho is going mental. Arsenal is getting stronger and stronger, Liverpool too, City is going to spend big money, United has already done great signings, the competition is heating up. Especially Liverpool with Firmino....Coutinho...Sterling and Ings upfront is one hell of a strike force. I say this every year, but the upcoming season has to be one of the best ever.

I don't think that Begovic is going to come. He wants to be the Nr.1 Keeper. Chelsea can't offer him that.

Do you prefer this one? Hazard-Willian-Cuadrado

I don't think so. A lot of my german friends who are living in Munich would immediately settle for a so-called smaller house... We live in a world where living in your own house has become a luxury and far to expensive for most people because of temporary employment, declining wages, outsourcing...even high trained specialists have to consider oneself to be exposed to intense competition. The gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider and wider; a few families consider themselves lucky by owning most of the real estate, others have to be renter for their whole life's...that's the ugly truth and it happens to most people in the big cities. But only in the big cities you can find qualified work with your bachelor/masters degree. Therefore you have to secure credit for your privately owned house, otherwise you can't afford it. If you want to start a family, you need more money, sadly, some people can't afford it, but that's a different subject. Living in your own house should be a principle for all people. For that issue i could't agree more with Choulo.

Not bad, i give you that! But i compare him with Eden Hazard because he is playing on the left wing too. I prefer Eden all day long! In my opinion Arsenal is overrated. When was the last time they won an important match against a big opponent in Europe? All they do is crashing out early and winning their 4th place trophy. Every year Wenger is laughing all the way to the bank....
