Clockwork

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.

All of you are bunch of plastics for criticizing Ivanovic and wanting him benched. He was arguably the league best RB last season + pl. winner. Stay behind the team and the player.

Inverted FBs Mou revolutionary tactics.

Don't understand the logic. People have a go at many of our players, and call for their heads but...... If you criticize Mou and think the team should go in another direction. You are a plastic. Someone please explain this hypocracy to me!

Damn it is honestly a shame we sold Flipe Luis.

I actually believe Mou will bench Ivanovic. I don't think he can tolerate this shit anymore, he is most radical when things are going bad. I would say right now it qualifies as that.

City are much better then us, but that doesn't mean Oscar couldn't have made a difference though. His set pieces and free kicks been on point, and capable providing that one magical moment(United last season). In these types of games he could have changed the result. Obviously he couldn't overcompensate for shit players like Ivanovic, Terry(sadly), Cahill, Willian, and Cesc by himself.

Drogba is a late bloomer and outlier tbh. He pickup football much later then most kids. So that is different, and i haven't seen anyone like Drogba, never seen a player develop technically so much throughout his career like him. Drogba incredibly intelligent footballer tbh, unlike Lukaku. Benteke is on par or even better then Lukaku, i don't rate him highly either. Maybe he will be leading a top club, so is Giroud so that doesn't say much. Honestly mate you will not change my mind i have made this conclusion on Lukaku years ago and nothing he has done to change my perception. We shell see.

Izzy wasn't bad he just didn't make a notable contribution. Kid is only 18 years old, easy up.

That is because Lukaku is a tank and physically developed like no others. Many strikers take years to physically develop, so naturally they get better and better. Lukaku will not have the same progression as other strikers. He is technically limited, and will not get much better. Lukaku we should regard him as a 28 year old since his progression will be as low as 28 year old striker.
