Henrique

I do prefer Justin_3d to return.

Even the player said the best thing for him is staying where he already is.

Essien is not coming back. His contract ends next summer.

A owner can buy a small club and invest in the academy or in a new stadium. Investments in academy or in the club structure does not count in FFP. In fact Roman is part of the process where football will become a matter of wich club have the richest owner. Thats why I believe FFP might work.

Joke is not the opposite of reality. FFP might be a joke, but it is a reality. Malaga is banned for a year from European competitions because they could not pay wages and taxes.

Dont think there is a saga. Its clear he will leave in summer. Lampard has one of the highest wages in Chelsea, it was the same reason Ballack and J.Cole left 2 seasons ago: the club want to control the wage bill. This year Chelsea had the highest wage bill in PL for 8 years in a row.With the arriving of players like Hazard, who earns 170k a week (and thats really stupid to pay such money for a prospect), I really dont see Lampard getting a new contract with new FF from UEFA.

It was funny some months ago, people really believed Lampard wasnt needed anymore, and some people even said that the scenario would be worst with him, while we had 7 games in a row without a single win.

Perhaps Chelsea want t pay the same Sturridge used to get: about 60k a week.

Probably you dont have good sources or dont follow the right people on twitter.

"@CaulkinTheTimes: Ba isn't bargain he appears: £7.5m fee + agent fees + 80k weekly + 4yr deal (what he has asked from #Nufc) & unlikely to pass medical." @CaulkinTheTimes

According to Guardian and Telegraph, Ba wants to earn around 80k/week and the club is really stupid if they are refusing to pay that.

Demba wont play the African Cup?

I dont even know you, only 36 posts all of them in Hazards or Lukakus topic I bet.

Leaving this topic before some fool appears saying Demba Ba is a not a good name because of his age, his knee, he plays for Newcastles and not in a top team or bacause we should instead go for Lewandovsky.

I used to be a huge Luiz critic when he was fucking everything as a CB, and I used to say Ramires was a poor player when he was playing like shit in first game under Carlo Ancelotti. So you come with this "he is brazilian" argument. I'm not someone who started to follow the team because there is a countrymen in the club, but yes, only a stupid person, hater or a Everton's fanatic would say he should have got a red in that game.

I dont remember those moment neither. Again, I would be happy if someone can show me those moments, because it seems only Luiz haters remember them.

I honestly never saw these 2 late tackles, perhaps because they were just avarage fouls and you with your biased eyes saw it as one worth another yellow. I dont remember any Everton player asking for a second yellow for Luiz in that match. I would be happy if you are able to show these 2 late tackles.

your eyes are way to biased, then, because I'm sure you wont find any Everton fan thinking about how Luiz should have got a red.

Its the same story every game since Luiz started to play as a DM, people just keep focusing is his mistakes. In fact, only an idiot would blame Luiz for his first goal, and now this Choulo guy is even talking about how he could have been off, and thats even more stupid. Ramires played in the right wing, and he wasnt that great, still he had a superb assist to Lampard. In fact the worst Chelsea player today, Torres aside, was Hazard. Ramires was way better than Hazard today, but you wont find people saying how shit he was in this game, you will only find people saying about how young he is and about the time he needs to become a great player. Luiz also needs time to develope as a proper DM, and untill he has been decent enough to be given this time. Nevermind, this Choulo guy is the same person who believes an avarage striker can score 25 goals in a single PL season.

Another hypercritical review regarding Luiz, you can say he wasnt that good, but your last line "his recklessness nearly let the team down" is way too stupid. Luiz got his yellow in the last 15 minutes or so for a ugly foul on Pienaar, but after that he NEVER had another foul worth a yellow card.

Solid, solid. Like Chelsea from the good days. Lampard + Luiz worked really great in the mid, Ramires was also really good in right. Cahill was as good as well as a CB. Why the club is even thinking about letting Lampard go is beyond me, its clear he re-invented hilself as a more defensive player, and yes, he has the discipline. Turnbull did not fucked the game, and thats good enough. Torres is really hopeless, I'm not sure the reason why the press keep saying Rafa reinvigorated Torres. Its sad, but Torres future lies elsewhere.

LAMPARD!!!!

Torres off side, but still lost that goal.

No Torres!! What a pass from Luiz.
