Please name me one player from Arsenal's starting eleven who is better than Chelsea's? Maybe their depth is better, but that's all. Just my opinion.

I don't want to slow down Bamford's development. In my point of view it's the hardest position to play. You have to cope with the pressure if things doesn't go your way, being mentally strong is fundamental. I would like to give him more time to develop. The most important thing for such a young guy is playing time to gain more experience. He hasn't even played one Premier-League game! How serious is Costa's injury? Will he miss 4 weeks or months? I don't know.... Remy is injury prone, yeah i give you that, but at the moment he is fit. If we buy one more striker, i prefer an experienced one, we are good to go, except Costa is going to miss the first half of the season? Cuadrado can also play as a striker...

Bamford: "I'd like to think that I'd be able to compete [for a place in the team] but honestly I think I'd benefit most from playing. "Going back and sitting on the bench now after having two good seasons wouldn't really help me and it's up to the people at the top at Chelsea to decide what will be best and what career plan I'll have for this next year. "I'll just have to play it by ear and see what they say." At the moment he needs more time to improve, so we should loan him again....

...................Guv'nor......... ..Hazard....Fabregas.....Willian .........Pogba............Matic......... Luis.....Terry.........Ivanovic......Dave ..................Courtois...... I don't need much. We need more goals from midfield! Otherwise Koke would be great too. Verratti is my favourite, but PSG won't sell. How would Kondogbia fit in? He was great in CL, the defense would be rock solid with him.

I think the result isn't fair. In my point of view Paul Pogba should have been awarded a penalty when he was brought down in the box. Furthermore the referee refused to give a freekick some minutes ago. Apart from that i congratulate Barcelona for winning everything this season Their triumphal procession in the second half of the season was pretty impressive. I didn't see that coming...

He can be our new Paulo Ferreira, but I am not sure, if he is happy on the bench... :confused: He gets the job done: top class backup! I don't want him to leave...

Is Hamsik that good? I have heard rumours that in the last years he really regressed. After the loss of Cavani and Lavezzi he is a complete different player. Maybe some guys who are watching the Italian league closely have an answer.

That's my opinion, i never said it was a fact! Sorry, you have actually got it wrong! Reus has the abilites to be a worldclass player, that's a fact, i don't think you would disagree on that one, would you? For me passing a test is a complete different thing than avoiding it. If you participate in a test, you will be under huge pressure, because of the investigator who is looking to fail you. Reus decided to take the easy way out and skipped it. Coward! Why didn't he hire a driver, when his unable to pass it?! For me he showed with that horrible decision what kind of a person he is. Driving without a license is a fellany; if a person is willingly committing a crime and endangering his environment, then you have to question his personality. Moreover these guys are role models for the children... Sometimes every professional player has a bad game, even Messi can't always decide tight games, for example the world cup final against Germany. You said it yourself, Costa decided some of the big games. In my point of view (not a fact) the performances of Reus in the big games were often poor. When was the last time he single handedly won a big game for his team and progressed in the competition? Yeah in the Champions-League final he won the penalty, that performance wasn't that bad. I agree with you on that one! My bad, sorry. But in two german cup finals, he was very poor in my view, of course that's not a fact. You can't rely too much on your team, i demand from a star player like Reus that he steps up and takes responsibility in the big games. Hazard does it time and time again. So does Griezmann. You said it yourself, in the past he has had injury problems. Furthermore he is 2 years older than Griezmann. I still prefer Griezmann, because he did a great job in Spain.

So sad that he wasn't able to finish his career at Chelsea. He is one of my favourite players ever, our engine in midfield and so likeable. The goal against Barcelona was spectacular, at the time i got the flu, but despite headache i was cheering so loud, unbelievable. I try to honour him by using his name, he will never be forgotten!

The season before wasn't great either. Especially in the first half of the season 2013/2014 he was poor. Look at his finishing, he wasted a lot chances. He is an opportunity killer! The second half of the season 2013/2014 he was better. Even though the first game against Real Madrid was abysmal, yeah the second one was pretty good. In my point of view Reus isn't a big game player. He was poor in the Champions-League final against Bayern Munich, he continued to be poor against Bayern Munich in the DFB cup final and this year, he was disastrous against Wolfsburg in the cup final. At the biggest stage, he can't handle the pressure and isn't able to lead his team to glory. That's a generell problem for him. He failed to accomplish the test for his driving license. He is afraid and handles the pressure not very well, he admitted to that in the past! Griezmann isn't that sensible. He consistently improves. I think he has what it takes to be a game changer. But do we really need Griezmann at Chelsea?! I don't think so because Mourinho likes Willian and despite the fact that he is a very good number 10, he will continue playing on the right side. Ivanovic is one of Mourinhos most trusted lieutenants and Willian is necessary to cover the space when he goes forward.

Reus had a very poor season. Please take a look at the game against Wolfsburg. He can't finish the game off. On the other hand Griezmann had a spectacular season. Yes, he can do better against Real Madrid in the Champions-League, but overall he isn't so injury prone and his potential is extraordinary. Reus development has regressed in the last years. I prefer Griezmann, even if he is more expensive than Reus!

Benteke is 5 years younger! I disagree with you, sorry. Apart from his injury problems, if he stays fit, he will destroy everything. He is solely responsible for Aston Villa avoiding the relegation. He scores the goals, after he had recovered from his injury his performances were outstanding. His holding up the ball is fantastic, Drogba-esque. He has tremendous potential, a prefer Benteke.

Pellegrini failed badly at Madrid. They don*t want him back, that's for sure! I agree with you. I can see Benitez getting the job, he is a madridista and coached one of the youth teams in the past. Can he get the job done? I don't know because i don't trust Benitez, in my opinion he is overrated.... In any case Benitez likes the competion in the UCL, that would be one hell of a match against Jose Mourinho, lol.

Perez is a great businessman. He sold Di Maria at the right time and with the sales of Özil and Higuain he did a good job too. James Rodrigues was one of the best transfers of the season, perhaps only Luis Suarez was more successful. Ancelotti made some mistakes: Firstly, his refusal to rest some of his most important players was pretty bad. Secondly, why didn't he play a defensive minded midfielder?! Maybe Perez did not like such a player, but why the hell did he buy Illarramendi in the first place? I can't make my mind up to such nonsense.... All in all the sacking of Ancelotti is a sad thing, he is a great coach and he deserves so much better. In the dressing room he was well respected, for example Cristiano took a photo with him two days ago. I heard that he has health issues, get well soon, Carlo. Where will he go?!

Sometimes he is really frustrating to watch because he needs so many opportunities to score. Yeah he scored some goals, but the City board is not convinced of him, in the past they bought the likes of Negredo or later Bony. I know that Jose likes warriors and Dzeko would fit in, but i personally prefer Benteke who is in my point of view much more creative. But we could stay with Remy, if he continues to accept his role as a backup.

Maybe we need to sign another wingback to pull off a Willian. Since Cuadrado has arrived, Willian's performances have inreased massively.

He still can't cut it here. At the beginning i was pretty pleased with his signing, but he can't beat a defender, he often gets dispossessed and normally he makes the wrong decision. I miss his movement without the ball a lot, maybe Mourinho limited that. In the last months his value has decreased, but there is still hope, because that kind of skill can't vanish, or is he going to do a Fernando Torres?! I pray every night for fuck's sake, 5 star skiller at Fifa, lol.

All in all i was a little bit disappointed that Jose continued keeping his squad small. Why didn't Jose use more young players in the last games of the season? We already are the Champions of England and it would have been the perfect benchmark for next season who we can trust. Jose is always so serious, he cares so much about winning, but if his aim is still building a team for the next decade we have to integrate more guys from the academy. At the moment English prospects are quite expensive and with the increase of the TV money its still going up. Nonetheless i trust Jose and he knows what is best for us. I expect a new engine in midfield.

I don't want Mr. FC Bayern Munich here. Apart from his injury record, his abilites have really regressed. Please take a look at his style of play against Barcelona. From my point of view he looked passed it, he couldn't create anything and wasn't able to cope with the speed anymore. Moreover his decision making was abysmal; before the last goal from neymar why did such an experienced and decorated player run the risk of a counter attack and throw in such an imprecise crossing? After the mistake has happened, he was dispossessed by Messi and the disaster took its course... Schweinsteiger has lost his stamina and thats a pretty bad thing for the Premier-League, where the speed is still high. I agree that Chelsea desperately needs another engine in midfield, but i prefer a player who hasn't hit his peak yet. Of course these players are quite expensive (Koke/Verratti/Pogba/Kondogbia). Maybe Jose gives Loftus-Cheek a fair chance next season. No matter what happens, i trust Jose!

Brazilian style, seven up, hehe

Beautiful banter for Gerrard, good one!

If Hazard had played like Griezmann did at the biggest stage in club football, his thread would have been crowded with haters all day long! Luckily Hazard played really well! Griezmann has fantastic abilities, but i don't want another player at chelsea, who is forced to play out of position. In my point of view a player like Sterling would fit in nicely with this Chelsea side. Above all a quality addition in our midfield should be Mourinhos first priority. Next season i think we will get the best out of Cuadrado and we still have Willian, both players were quite expensive. I don't want to throw their potential in the trash can!

Ramires is a good squad player, but should be nothing more. He does not complain about sitting on the bench or playing out of position. Furthermore he seems like nice guy and executes Mourinhos instructions perfectly, his brutality is legendary, for example ask Mario Götze, lol. Especially in the games against PSG i saw his limitations, next season Koke/Pogba should overtake his spot. Sadly i am not so sure Mourinho would agree, because Mourinho believes in playing reactive football. I think Ramires would like that comment, lol.

Brasil vs. Crotia, great performance that was!

I am freshman, therefore i don't know how it really works around here....^^ Nowadays there are no serious rumours about a transfer to Chelsea, when it happens and it will happen soon, because of his performances and his contract situation (runs only till summer 2016). I promise you that the coming disussions will turn this page upside down again...
