Henrique

Not sure. In this forum there thousands of pictures of Torres celebrating his only goal. That goal made a superb impact.

This is not great news, because Falcao wont make our squad worst.

1- Its very simple, when you have to buy players, you dont have money from players transfers, so you must ask for Romans money again. I dont know if we can rely on his money forever. Hes been here for 7 years and we are in the same situation. If he doesnt give us the money, we just cant buy anyone. 2- Very simple. Most part of players Barcelona has right came from their Academy, we dont have such a thing, so it means that we must go on market to find some decent players. 3- You keep saying MU squad is weak, people say the same for the last 20 years. Every season people say MU is weaker that the season before, and still they manage to battle for the trophies and get them. They are strong than us. 4- Yes, we only need 3 players if they are Messi, Xavi and Iniesta. If they are Modric, Lukaku and Moutinho then we are in trouble. And of course there arent 3 players like those from Barcelona available. 5- Sanchez is going to Barcelona, Neymar is going to Real or is staying in Brazil. The window closes in one month in a half, but we cant afford to buy a player in the last days of the window, we are a club that are looking for "evolution". We also have a new manager that had a totally different philosophy than the last one, we are starting a work from the beginning, we cant say the same about City, United, Spurs, Liverpool, Barcelona and Real Madrid, its like a F1 race and we are starting from pit lane. Thats why I said we are already late, I think you should try Cocaine to your brain work a little faster.

Tell me a squad that you think would be good enough to rule the world. Btw, you said our squad "is", not that it "will" be.

Not sure if its a talent, but one thing is for sure, we spent time and money in another player that wasnt good enough to play here... Who is the responsible for this awful job in the academy ? This is the big problem. Its not about selling the "talents", is about not producing them.

I agree, but of course I wasnt going to say the first to say so, because people would start that old argument: "Henrique hates England and thinks that every brazilian player is world-class".

Some Chelsea fans are crazy. I think 5 years from now people will keep saying that the squad is one of the best in the league. The current squad will be lucky to finish in the top 4. I feel sorry about Villas Boas if we dont buy the right players in the key positions. In last years the Board and the managers made a terrible job with this squad. Just look at the players we think are not essential anymore: Anelka, Malouda, Ferreira, Essien, Drogba...how much we can get for them? None of them are worth more than 12m english pounds right now, due to their age and the few years they have in their current contracts. We will be lucky to get 20m for all of them together. Our academy is yet to produce a regular starting XI or even a sub. that made any kind of impact in the game. City keep spending big, Liverpool is doing a much better job than us, MU squad is stronger that ours, and it seems they are trying Sneijder, while it seems Modric is our top target in this summer... The board keep saying we need 2 or 3 more players and the squad will become superb again. Last years we bought Ramires and Benayoun, a 30 years old player, in a squad that was already old. Our first pre-season game is 7 days from now, for a club that needs a revolution, or an evolution, as Boas' said, I think we are already late.

Villas Boas' first mistake, if its confirmed.

According to "O Jogo", from Portugal, Falcao accepted to pen a new deal with Porto, that will increase his salaries and his buy out clause to 45m. If that happen to be true, we will know after Copa America.

lol Argentina miss Bielsa.

Guardiola Hiddink Fergunson Wenger

lol Poor targets. He will get axed If this is all he can do, and he will deserve it as long as We bring the right players. His fate will rely in PL and in CL and specially in his playing style. PL - Top 2 CL - Semi - finals or being a tough oponent for Madrid or Barça. Playing style - attacking football, not losing at Stamford Bridge and winning games agaisnt small clubs. If he lost to Sunderland at SB by 3-0, the board will start to look at him with different eyes. The board will be also happy If he manages to introduce youth players. The board is expecting a similar impact Guardiola had in Barcelona years ago. They wont be satisfied with a 4th place in PL and only surviving the group stage in CL.

I always liked Essien, but its getting ridiculous. Every fucking season this guy gets injured and miss most part of the season.

lol...not for me.

I hope you are joking, because thats not Kaká, the Real Madrid's player.

I also think Didier is a good player, but some people say he is one of the greatest strikers ever...in his past 7 PL seasons he managed to scored more than 20 goals only 2 times. In 3 seasons he scored no more than 10 goals. In other two he did not scored more than 12. Not saying he is garbage and awful...but are yet to have a striker like Henry. A goal scoring machine. I dont know if Falcao is that striker, but I wont be satisfied with Torres + Drogba for next season. We need more if we want to to great things next season.

Thats the problem. 07/08 - 24 goals 08/09 - 14 goals 09/10 - 18 goals 10/11 - 9 goals Unless you are talking about his form 3 or 4 years ago, we still need another striker.

Porto striker Falcao wants Chelsea transfer http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/8620391/Porto-striker-Falcao-wants-Chelsea-transfer.html

a guy that said that Van Basten was our next manager...

Of course this team he dreams about is Manchester United.

If he return to South America he will play in Brazil.

Pastore is a playmaker, I dont know he is playing in Italy, since italian coachs in general are stupid. But in Argentina he is considered a playmaker. Pastore is good enough to be a starting XI in Argentina NT.

The same was said about Milan. They thought the squad was good because it was the squad that won 2 CL...they forget that players get old, and everybody know what happened with Milan after 2007: 2 miserable seasons. Won Serie A after spending big again. Wake up fella. The fact we end up in 2nd cant hide another fact: We strugled to be in the top 4 in some part of the season, and We finished with the same points as City. We need more players. If not We will strugle to get a place in next CL. We need a right back, a playmaker and another player in the mid. I hope VB can get the best from Yuri. He never played as a left back. If that happen he almost will be a new signing.

Brazilian NT is avarage right now. Bad managers fault. Lucio will be 36 in next WC and Mano is playing instead Luiz. Robinho, Fred...

But in this case You are wrong. Argentinean coach want to emulate Barcelona to get the best from Messi, Thats why in the first half he played in a 4-3-3, with 2 wingers and Messi in the center. In the second half Messi played in the middle, in the typical position of a "shirt number 10", a playmaker, wich is the position of Pastore. Thats why he did not played, because Pastore did not suit both tactical plans. Argentineans want Pastore playing, but it seems their coachs have other plans for next match.
