I think Hazard is just as good as Iniesta when it comes to dribbling. Iniesta has a bit more finesse but Hazard makes up for that with greater balance, agility and pace.

Signing Eto'o is not like signing a Rooney or a Suarez. He's not world class anymore.

Love him.

Rest assured, if Tancredi is reporting it then we aren't getting him for sure.

He doesn't get up as often but Bertrand probably has the best cross on him between our fullbacks though.

Not in the same class as Suarez and Rooney IMO. He's good, would probably improve the strikeforce marginally, but not world class.

I'd love to know how you know what wages these guys will be on.

JT and Luiz have to be the starting CBs I think.

Was very good yesterday. Hope he progresses as a player this season.

Definitely good enough to be our 3rd choice IMO. And I'm not basing that off this game, I've seen him plenty of times for the youth team and I think he can slowly make that transition.

I hope Mourinho instructs him to quicken up his play more. He has the ability there, but it really is up to both John and Jose to actually implement that ability in the correct way.

It's working. Not as neat as the full version though.

Jim, will this be available to access via mobile phone? (iPhone)

There's intelligent and objective debates, then there's saying that Hazard had a poor to average season. Wonder if you actually watched us last year.

Good idea Jim. Keep up the good work.

Probably £35m I think.

You said, "in the end its going to cost us this season if the club don't wake up and bring in Suarez!!!" Naturally people are going to insinuate that you mean it'll cost us this season if we don't bring in Suarez.

Jose played Mikel as a DM in 12 of the 27 games Mikel actually played. In the other games Mikel played with Makelele. Jose isn't the one that turned Mikel into a holding midfield player - it was the subsequent use of him there after Jose went that made Mikel into the player he is now. It wasn't Mikel's goals that were "destroyed", he was never really a goal getter - it was more his creativity and freedom that was prohibited. Marco Van Ginkel will not grab as many goals in this Chelsea side like he did for Vitesse last season even if he doesn't play the most defensive player in the pivot simply because he'll have to restrain himself more as he'll have 4 players in front of him that'll do most of the attacking in the final third. MVG is a B2B midfielder, Mikel was a playmaker, there's a difference.

What's that?

I'm not sticking up for him, just telling you the facts. I don't think JT's a saint at all, but Suarez is the bigger cunt for sure, and that was my initial point anyway.

According to the Barcelona manager he has no knowledge of the David Luiz bid so it isn't true.

It's really ridiculous isn't it. You have more sense than a lot of people on here.

We must've definitely strongly told them he isn't for sale then. Good of true.

He's predominantly a left winger that plays in the centre. He rarely plays on the right.

I wouldn't sell Moses for Willian simply because Moses is homegrown and Willian isn't even a right winger to begin with.
