Kostas

Simple reinstalling of the drivers might help.

Nah,reports about this deal first surfaced around June.

That story is quite old,I think I saw a picture with him having a Robinho tatoo a while back.

Ditto The last think we want is to see the young players being played out of position(e.g. Bruma at RB,PvA at CB etc)

I do but I think you can't compare the two situations due to the difference of the leagues and the squads. Don't see how having a tiny squad is going to help Kakuta's chances in the team.We're not the first team trying to bring through young players and it's certainly possible without handicapping your squad depth. That is my friend the nature of man

We shouldn't blame luck if something similar happens this season,we're not gooners and this is a calculated risk that we're taking.

I think our squad is too small to challenge on all 4(!) fronts,in my opinion we'll ultimately regret it. I maybe hugely biased against the La Liga but the EPL is much harder and requires a better squad than the Spanish league which is basically a two horse race.

Smallest squad in the Premier League. Don't think I need to make any kind of comments on that.

The club and the managers have faith in Bruma,hopefully he'll be worthy of it. Now get Kakuta's contract sorted already!

I think it has something to do with the Yéle Haiti Foundation

Bad examples,really.Robinho flopped so bad that he made our Shevchenko deal look good,he's a lazy flop and that's why he went for that price.Why do you think Manchester City fans were happy to see him go. I never really bought the Torres story,no official confirmation or bid but just talks of Roman flying here and there to close his deal as if he's the one making transfers for us. Ibrahimovc flopped terribly in Barcelona and they wanted to sell him before his price went even lower,he probably broke up with Pique too. Milan has been buying quite a few has-beens for the past few years and they haven't really be successful with that strategy have they? The last has-been that we bought was Shevchenko so we as fans should be rather happy that our club avoids that sort of deals now.

Actually,he's got a point there somewhere. Our inability to finish deal has become quite disappointing,I mean,this summer we know that Chelsea officially placed a bid for 2 players,Neymar and Begovic.We failed to sign any of them for whatever reasons but it's clear that either Carlo or our "Football Board" believe that our squad could use some additions.There we probably more bids that we don't know but the point is that we can't actually sign quite a few players that we *want*.

I wonder if some said the same about Di Santo back when Sahar was sold.

Crewe aim to extend his loan according to their manager. Source He has been quite successful there,some Crewe fans already love him.

#AVFC Chelsea reject loan bid for young left back. Sidwell still not made decision on West Brom. — AstonVillaInsider (@Villa_Insider) August 31, 2010 http://www.villatalk.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=61720&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=5670

Apparently we rejected a loan deal from Villa for him.

Was it the terrible loan deal or rather our terrible scouting in South America? Edit: And don't get me started about giving him our #9.

To be honest I'm not a fan of Drogba's attidute sometimes,I'd rather see Cech getting the armband.Ess is also a good candidate.

Can't believe some would be so eager to waste one of our best midfielders at RB,we would suffer without him.

Being able to shoot.Being good at shooting. Being consistently good at shooting. Being able to score a 1-1 Knowing what to do with the ball at his feet. Hell why do I even bother,what kind of an argument is that,he was completely and utterly shit in that match and all you gotta say is that he's a striker?! When was being a football player only about scoring tap ins?!You could have easily given him credit for getting into positions instead of praising his ability to "get goals". Why in the name of Zola would we be doing that? It's not like we're losing games underperforming,underscoring or anything allong those lines.Then why would we be "looking for a player to criticize"? Kalou has been the most frustrating Chelsea player in those last few years and it's not us baddies trying to blame someone. I'd argue it takes more balls talking about a player's faults when he's (allegedly)on form than when he's not performing to his abilities.

Congratulations for completely missing the point. And no,no-one would have gone crazy if Drogba scored a goal as simple as that.

If both Sturridge and Borini are ahead of him in the pecking order I say we grab those £2m and run as fast as we can.

First of all that's technically impossible for me and I've cheered for players that made Kalou look like Cruyff but I'm having a hard time calling him great when he's playing alongside Drogba and Anelka. I beg your fucking pardon?! I'd celebrate a Chelsea goal even if Lucifer himself scored it. People resorting to name calling and taking the Bluer than thy route makes their lack of arguments evident.

Stas shouldn't be even brought to this debate,the Community Shield game against the Mancs was a fine example of how stats give Kalou too much credit.He was one of our worst players on the pitch with only Ashley Cole and JT being worse,he got a goal that Sturridge created and was literally a waste of space for the rest of the match. And "realising" that he's a "great" player after 4 weeks of good(or even great) football is just wrong,you know what they say about a broken clock
