Luiz has a buy-out clause in his contract for 40 million pounds. He is one of their star players and many major clubs are chasing him. Why would Benfica ask something like 25 mil? Many times the Napoli president has stated that if a club wants to buy Hamsik, they will have to pay crazy money. Since they are trying to make it to the top and don't need money. And like i said, he recently extended his contract and we aren't the only club chasing him. Udinese would be fools to ask 15 mil for Sanchez. We paid 18 mil for a box-to-box midfielder from the Portugese league and you think 15 mil is enough for one of the most exciting players in the Serie A? He was also the most entertaining player of the World Cup. Come on man, they're not stupid. You're talking about what the players are probably worth but since when do clubs demand the price their worth. Example, Essien is probably worth 25 mil pounds. But if a club was interested in him, the club would demand at least 35 mil pounds. Udinese, Napoli and Benfica don't (desperately) need money so there's no reason for them to not demand very high price. The men in charge of transfers would be very bad businessmen to let those players go for those prices. Abramovic would have bought players like them a long time ago if he was able to pick them up for those prices. About Terry, Terry's 30 years old and is only going to get worse from now on. Luiz is 23 and is being tipped to be a great defender. How are you trying to compare the two . And i can't imagine how much you would have to pay for a player who just extended his contract at one of the most richest clubs in the world, and a very healthy club as they actually make profits, earning €10 mil a season (i'm talking about Schweini). And that future legends comment... sigh. Don't people realise you can never be sure about those things? There are so many things that can happen..

No way. Benfica won't let Luiz go unless a club is willing to pay 30-40 million pounds. Napoli have huge ambitions and want to make it to the top. Hamsik also recently extended his contract. You're looking at 35-45 mil pounds when trying to buy Hamsik. Alexis Sanchez will also cost any club at least 20 mil pounds. Times have changed my friend, you do the math.

Worst of the entire league.. wow.

Nahh if there's something we need from them, it's their methods on how to work with/treat young players and how you eventually make starters/world-class players out of them.

Sadly you're right LDN. Sigh.

You're absolutely right about the power some players possess but it's a good thing and a bad thing. When the coach is really fucking up in something, like horrible training methods or whatever, we have players who have the courage to speak up. But when they start acting like divas, it gets annoying and can really do damage.

Same here.

Absolutely. Sadly CA doesn't realise they're making a complete joke out of him.

That's what i've been saying all this time. A player like that is vital in a midfield three in modern football, especially in the PL. The only team that doesn't need that kind of player in a midfield three is Barcelona but that's only because they've mastered Total Football.

And you want us to continue doing that? A new Chelsea generation is on it's way and I don't know about you but i'm tired of the defensive, power-play football. I think we deserve to be entertained with attacking football, maybe even with flair, now (and i think Roman agrees with me).

True.

Great manager, especially since he likes to play young players and makes them better players (Müller, Badstuber). But it seems Louis needs Arjen Robben in top form though. I wouldn't like to be in Bayern's current domestic situation. Chelsea needs a manager like him with our aging squad. Still hoping Ancelotti will change his ways..

A voodoo master would be great.

Don't know, hope so. Yup.

I agree with you about changing the shape but we need a (really) attacking line-up though. We really lack fire-power. What about this: Cech Bos Ivan Terry Cole/PVA Kakuta/Malouda Essien Lampard Zhirkov/Kakuta Drogba Sturridge

The only way i see us winning this match is if changes are made to the starting line-up. The likes of McEachran, Kakuta, Ramires, Sturridge and Zhirkov must start. Cech Bosingwa Ivan Terry Cole Essien Lampard McEachran/Kakuta Sturridge Drogba Zhirkov

He really said that? Wow CA, you've really lost it.

If Ancelotti says we are in a difficult/bad moment one more time...

Don't understand why you mentioned Frank today but didn't mention Drogba. He's really been trying but he hasn't received a single useful ball. And i know Frank has been out for months but he was invisible. Again, not blaming him because of him just being back from a long-term injury.

TOOOOOO MANY LONG BALLS. START PLAYING FOOTBALL.

Not on the bench..

COME ON CHELS !

Top 10 goals so far in the Serie A For me, the Serie A is where the best and most classy goals are scored.
