  1. I think that's the 3rd kit. You can sort of see the away kit as well though in that... Thanks Chelsea Unseen!
  2. My point proven - Cahill is not our starting CB, and Jagielka certainly isn't an improvement on Terry or Ivanovic IMO. Luiz isn't some kid who needs an experienced CB to keep him focussed, this season has proven that exactly - he's been our best CB this season even though JT, our most experienced defender, hasn't been in the team that often. We need a defender who compliments Luiz, someone in the mould of Terry. As I've said before, we can do a lot better than Jagielka. I still think JT's better. Jagielka's just getting a lot of love at the moment because he had a good game against Arsenal. No one mentioned him before that.
  3. The difference is though that players like Moses and Cahill are expected to start for Liverpool. They aren't for us. You need players like Moses and Cahill in your squad - football isn't just about having the best 11.
  4. Sad for us maybe but I'm very sure KDB doesn't mind as long as he gets regular playing time at a top club like Bayer Leverkusen!
  5. Because he's going out on loan to a Champion's League side where he'll get a lot of minutes? Now I want KDB to stay but a loan to Leverkusen isn't the worst thing.
  6. Would you have Jagielka as your starting CB over Terry, Ivanovic or Cahill? I wouldn't. If we are going to buy a CB I'd prefer if we bought one that is infinitely better than Jagielka, not to mention younger too.
  7. He's 30. Can't see us signing a 30 y/o CB.
  8. That isn't the real voting system. Only PFA players (fellow professional footballers) vote.
  9. That's one of the daftest things I've read. Individual awards are not an indicator as to how well a team has performed but to how well a player has. Every sport has individual awards because there will always be a debate about who's the best individual. It doesn't take away from team effort. For example, the Ballon D'Or isn't anywhere near as important as winning the WC or CL.
  10. 1. Mata is better through the middle. 2. Mata does not have burning pace. 3. Mata does not have the acceleration to constantly weave past his man like Hazard or Moses does.
  11. I've signed up to take over DA Godfathers. Let me in .
  12. Nah. I know Jagielka had a good performance against Arsenal but we can do far better IMO. Not to mention he's 30.
  13. Good news. Didn't know Marin was out injured tbh.
  14. Nominations for PFA Players' Player of the Year 2013 Gareth Bale (Tottenham Hotspur) Michael Carrick (Manchester United) Eden Hazard (Chelsea) Juan Mata (Chelsea) Luis Suarez (Liverpool) Robin van Persie (Manchester United) Nominations for PFA Young Player of the Year 2013 Gareth Bale (Tottenham Hotspur) Christian Benteke (Aston Villa) Eden Hazard (Chelsea) Romelu Lukaku (Chelsea) Danny Welbeck (Manchester United) Jack Wilshere (Arsenal) Delighted to see Lukaku in there, glad he got the recognition. Also glad Hazard (twice) and Mata are in there.
  15. Realistically? Likely outs: Turnbull, Hilario, Paulo, Lampard(?), Benayoun, Malouda, Marin(?) Likely ins: A new goalkeeper, a deep lying playmaking midfielder, a defensive midfielder, KDB back, Schurrle, A striker/Lukaku back. I honestly don't think Torres is gonna go next season. Next season: GK: Cech, x, Blackman(promoted) Defenders: Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Terry, Luiz, Cahill, Cole, Bertrand. Midfield: x, x, Mikel, Ramires, KDB, Romeu, Oscar, Lampard(?) Forwards: Torres, Lukaku(?), Ba, Hazard, Mata, Schurrle, KDB, Oscar, Moses. 25 man squad. This is what we can realistically expect next season I think and it isn't a bad squad make up at all. It strong in all areas. Don't forget we potentially have the likes of Kakuta, Kalas, Omeruo, PvA, Chalobah and Josh coming back too but I think they'll all go out on loan again.
  16. Welcome! Well, who do you think people on a CFC forum will tell you to support? You really shouldn't support anyone based off one match! Just try and watch the EPL on a regular basis and pick the team that you like the most and a team that you can identify yourself with.
  17. Madness. Hopefully they catch both of them alive (if according to reports there are two suspects).
  18. Far too many people overestimate the effect of FFP.
