Clockwork

Doesn't he become more valuable to keep though. Pogba comes we switch to 4-3-3 most likely right? Who are the alternatives to Cesc and Pogba? Ramires and RLC? Definitely would be wise to do everything to keep him. Based on merit I have no doubt Oscar can displace Cesc, unless Mou does a Flipe Luis to him. Oscar and Pogba are much more balanced duo.

Btw mate there has been a lot of players that have underperformed playing alongside messi, last season was the exception since Messi moved the RW instead playing in his traditional false 9 role. Ibra, villa, Sanchez, Pedro, and last Neymar played much better since Messi is no longer the team false 9. Also remember Barca best trio before last season was Henry-Eto'o- messi. Which was also before Messi moved to the center. Lucho did a great job moving messi, and allowing Neymar and Suarez to express themselves.

I honestly don't know why you guys think Pogba would want to come to Chelsea. Let me put this in context this is the equivalent of United fans thinking they can sign Neymar from Barca. Think from Pogba perspective for a change,does the player wants this move? Pogba is going to stay at Juve for one more season then move to Barca after their ban been lifted. Is Chelsea more attractive to verratii and Koke then their current clubs? Imo alti and psg are better clubs atm, don't see why they would leave their current club so late in the transfer market.

Question does Pogba, Koke, or Verratti want to come to Chelsea? persoanlly i don't think so. Ultimitely the player holds the most power, if the player wants a move i have no doubt the two clubs can get something done.

There is also Sturrigde mystery injury before his transfer to Liverpool.

Interesting to each their own. I feel there is a uncanny similarity between martial and studge. In physics and their awkward kinda running. Very similar In that regard and also in playing style too, both forwards are very versatile. Studge idol was Henry, you kinda see similarity in style. Shame his career has stagnated due to injury he is a quality player. Back on Martial, potential top striker. Him and silva will be fun to watch this season.

Barca offerd 80m for Pogba and rejected? My openion it was a political ploy so Laporta can get elected, the new elected president didn't fancy Pogba. I don't think Barca made a bid at all.

Mou is one who believes a player should earn their position. Highly unlikely he would start Pedro and BAba from the get go.

I never like seeing young players compared to past legends. A more relevent comparison would be Danny Sturridge tbh.

The only chance of this happening is if we offered Oscar to them in return.

I can't imagine a worse fit for Willian then Bayern. A polar opposite of what pep likes in his forward.

Matic skills transands better on most teams. But no one could do a better job for Barca then Busquets.

I honestly don't think we can attract the likes of Isco/reus/pogba, etc with Mou in charge. I think all this negative media surronding his tactics in recent years has a had a inverse effect on potential incoming players. I don't think they want to come here to park the bus against top compeittion or worse be benched in favor of a more defensive player. Most talkChelsea members say only result matter, but potential players would disagree. People here are ok with extreme mundane results and tactics but still want to sign shiny new toys. Sorry you can't have it both ways. Let's face it barca rejects Is the best we can do. But at least Pedro provides an added deminsion to our team and more competition. Those players you mentioned signed because of a notion of a new era of Chelsea football and an exciting project. I feel people are crazy to think that Hazard would sign here if he saw current Chelsea football.

Well how do you explain his goal scoring record before his Chelsea career? His goal record is more or less pretty consistent throughout his career though.

Agreed, it doesn't seem very well planned. Only explanation I could give is that maybe Ivanovic horrible start changed Mou mind. Get a a more attacking forward and move The more defensively astute Azpi back to his original position.

I would never pay 40m pounds for a defender..... Stones potential is most likely like someone..... Let's see Sergio Ramos I would say. Maybe I would pay 40m for a 21 year old A.Nesta

I like mikes but I am not sure what he is still doing here. Especially since Mou would rather play A defender in midfield instead of Mikel.

It depends on how you look at it. If lamp sulked because of individual reasons and not what was best for the club then yes that is wrong. But if he went against AVB because he thought the club would be better off then there is nothing wrong with that imo. AVB was a train wreck, his sacking lead to the best possible result that season. So I have nothing against Lamp actions, I am greateful tbh. Just imo.

"He needs to show his balls to all player" You mean literally? http://www.espnfc.us/story/875555/luca-toni-bayern-boss-louis-van-gaal-showed-us-his-balls

Lampard did what he thought was the best for the club.... And he was right sacking AVB...... Lead us to a historic season in winning CL+FA. That is no disrespect imo.

Current Mikel or prime mikel? Mikel at his best was much better player then Willian at his best. Obsvusouly different players.

Otamendi imo is the best CB in the world atm, that is quite a statement to say Stones has a higher ceiling.

Mou final product? LolPeople still thinking mou is a team builder, he is the ultimate short term manager. Look at his side at Madrid. Their fans had the same sinking feelings most are having here. Mou team progressively gets worse Think about it what you are saying about baba, you do realize he had Luis last year. If mou had any long term vision he would have dropped Ivanovic long time ago and kept Luis. He doesn't if he did we wouldn't have any FB dilemma. A few singings will help this team, like a band aid that usually does but there is a bigger problem.

I agree mate I was joking, just using the same logic some have used in defending mou. No one is a plastic for wanting the best for Chelsea FC.
