Ok for arguement's sake lets say the Yokohama money is our transfer budget. To chuck most of it on a young player is complete folly especially as even with Kalas and Christensen on loan there's Zouma who looks really promising. Ivan can go back to centre half if needed and there's Cahill and Terry. If we are to do anything this season especially in Europe what we need is experienced players and we need a right winger badly SWP, Salah, Schurrle, Cuadrado, Mourinho seems to have a blind spot where wingers are concerned.

Having to pay a possible 30 million quid for someone who is promising is far to risky. Is he that superior to Kalas and Christensen i have my doubts.

So another couple of our promising youngsters are going to the Bermuda Triangle or as it's more commonly known Vitesse Arnhem.

Was never entirely convinced about Ranieri. When Bates and Hutchinson appointed him no one in England never mind Chelsea fans had heard of him. Bought some good players Cech, Robben and did a good job getting us to fourth in 2003 as he only bought two players and one De Lucas was a free transfer (and was shit). But his legacy ultimately will be Monaco which is still raw even after all these years. Just an absolute nightmare in every department that night.

So do i it's a real let down.

Don't forget Ben Haim crashed into Cech leaving him needing 50 stitches in his chin.

Pirlo is 5 ft 10 he's hardly a midget.

Inniesta, and Xavi another couple of giants. I have no idea what an outlier is. Not every midfield player is built like Matic and R.L.C. if anything there the exception not the rule. The game has moved on so small midfielders won't be considered total bollocks.

Makelele was a huge man wasn't he all 5 ft 7 of him

Came home from my uncle's funeral still drunk i couldn't quite take it all in. Woke up the next morning and knew that there were exciting times ahead. And he saved us from certain mediocrity there's no doubt about that because Bates left us in a perilous situation. The only bankable assets were Gudjohnson and a young John Terry and Frank Lampard who i don't think had made the England team as yet and we wouldn't have received massive fees for them. Anyway cheers Roman we are all massively grateful.

That depends your not going to give me homework are you sir?. Because last week the dog ate my homework

I wasn't being entirely serious but cheers for the history lesson

Just googled him it's not me ha ha. He's on Twitter i'm not a fan to be honest. https://youtu.be/0nyGfJFhwp4

Moses has certainly got the strength as shown by playing for the dirtiest and most physical team in England Stoke.

So what it's synonymous with the Scousers and as your from Leeds there end is called the Kop one is full of northern twats the other oh wait

Don't mention the word Kop mate it just doesn't belong on a Chelsea forum.

Let's be honest here i don't rate Victor Moses but he's much more suited to the Premier League then Cuadrado. He just hasn't got the strength, technique or from what i've seen the ability to make it at Chelsea.

Quick straw poll Chelsea fans when Cech signed 2004. Internet fans who had never heard of Cech or Chelsea then ?.

This is my last post on Cech. Let's put it this way Chelsea have had only two outstanding goalkeepers in our recent history. Petr Cech and Peter Bonetti. We've had some good ones, Eddie and Cudicini but the only really outstanding ones were Cech and Bonetti. To say Cech is no longer a Chelsea legend is absolute bullshit and disingenuous. Apart from all the medals he won think about all his personal achievements only letting in 15 goals in a season and kept 24 clean sheets in his first season aged 23 that's just outstanding. He had 100 clean sheets in only 180 appearances another record. The man has been nothing but a credit since he's been with us and all that he achieved he did it with us not fucking Arsenal us. Yes some fans will get the hump about him joining Arsenal but as good as he is he's not the final piece in Arsenal's jigsaw not by a long shot. And Munich well you just don't need any superlatives for that night.

The last England 21 coaches Pearce and now Southgate very moderate careers as coach/manager. Yet the F.A. decide they should be in charge of England's best young players why?. Surely it's jobs for the boys and they get these jobs simply because there ex England internationals. They keep saying there should be a root and branch clear out at the F.A. well they can start by making the next England 21's coach a young and up and coming coach like Karl Robinson. Not some failed old has been. I bet someone like David Platt will be the next coach the English F.A are so backward looking it's unreal.

Excellent post.

Well enjoy the film that first sentence sounds like a tag line. It's not a question of honour at all it's just a man making a career move that you don't agree with. Very little honour in football never has been it's extremely cut throat as is all high powered business.

I agree but i think that too many parallels are being made with the Cole- Gallas deal and we definitely got the better deal there.
