The Skipper

Wouldn't be surprised if Luiz and Mata started. Jose's pulled that "they won't play" trick off before.

There's one thing not liking a certain player, but it's another being ignorant and saying he's shit when he clearly isn't.

Was anyone WHINING about how we sold him just now? All people were discussing is that he scored a goal and how Jose would've loved working with him. That's barely whining. Like I said, if you hate reading anything positive about Sturridge just avoid this thread whenever he does score.

I don't think anyone is rating Moses over KDB. Everyone knows KDB has more talent. All people are saying is that Moses was our best player in pre season. Which I incline to agree with.

The Drogba thread gets bumped whenever he scores too, should we delete that as well? There's an ex player thread to discuss an ex-player. This is ridiculous, no one is asking you to come here and read the thread. You can simply ignore it. Bloody hell.

*hypothetically* Lukaku, Sturridge & Rooney strikeforce would be insane especially given the fact that they can actually all play with each other when we really need goals late in the game (Sturridge on the right as an inside forward, Lukaku up top, and Rooney as a second striker?). Mourinho would've loved that. Unfortunately we aren't in that situation because of a certain ladyboy though.

If he stays injury free I'm very sure he will.

Of course he is, he settled that before the start of pre season. They're much more than just promising players now, they're both ready to step in and contribute massively this season.

Torres? Hard working? Hehehehehe.

Jose would've loved Sturridge IMO.

I think Mourinho's joking.

Like I said before, many will be surprised at the maturity he shows at his age. Pleasantly surprised that Mourinho will give him a lot of chances this season but he definitely has the talent to take them.

If you think Mata is a player that likes to dribble and then shoot then I must wonder if you actually watched Chelsea at all last season but then again I'm not surprised seeing as you have said strange things before. To say Mata and Schurrle have a similar playing style is mind boggling. One of the strangest things I've ever heard.

The people that are in charge are the ones that are pushing for this transfer though?

Mourinho does.

A player can move twice every season to my knowledge.

Ridiculous.

He actually can.

Lol, you haven't seen Schurrle play at all if you think he's anything like Mata. He is very explosive, just wasn't fit enough during pre season.

Huntelaar does not fit in our system whatsoever. He's a goal getter with excellent movement yes, but all other aspects of his game are poor. Would be far worse than the potential Eto'o signing.

We didn't really lose out on him we just decided to sign lady boy instead. Torres ruins everything.

If he signs and gets a work permit I think Kakuta and Piazon's time at the club are probably over.

He was talking about Schweinsteiger!

Played 45 mins in the second half.

It's amazing how people's perspectives change after one international friendly game. It really is.
