Ashley Cole better not get arrested. The last thing we need is a team full of criminals. Torres came here to get away from them lot!

This is just another article to try and make everyone think we're trying to push Drogba out the door. For all we know he's happy to play for his place under the current squad, let's be honest, he's 32. It's not like there are a whole line of world-class clubs looking to sign him now.

Di Natale hat-trick and Sanchez 4'fer. Dream land for Udinese

Yes they are reportedly.

Wow, Sanchez with a hat trick too!

Definition of bullshit.

He could only get 47 in 56 if his team mates worked with him. Which requires him to pass the ball and give him team-mates a chance, our assessments would go hand-in-hand

Are we really surprised he got a way with it? Same old United..

Makes losing feel that less shit

I just don't understand this. What the hell was he doing with a rifle at Cobham?! :\

Of course, that was my point though. While we rejoice that he is taking his chances, we must remember, he has quite a way to go still. Like you said, he's still got the mature and this spell at Bolton is giving him plenty of experience. So while he's not a finished package yet, we've still got a lot more to see from him.

Yeah, this. Tommo, you're right in the sense he's a great striker of the ball. But when he knows there is a player, in a better position, more likely to score/assist him, he should look up and pass the ball. That's all. Otherwise he may not gel with his team mates. When they showed the match versus Everton a couple weeks back, Elmander was frustrated with him about the selfish play of Danny.

We do not need Akinfeev so I'm more inclined to agree with milan.cech here

No, because football isn't about individuals, it's about the team. If every time Sturridge gets the ball he shoots from wherever, then his team mates will get frustrated with him, then start not passing to him. Thus, disrupting the team harmony. Being a great footballer is about being able to play in a team, as well as shining as an individual.

He still needs to work on his decision making. Apparently he's still quite selfish (can't blame him, for his lack of chances under Carlo), he needs stop shooting every time and look for passes to his team mates in better positions.

Ah, touche. Even so, I'd think a new manager (should it happen) would rather keep Kalou than Drogba.

I would agree, but we know how Carlo loves Kalou..

The more Danny keeps scoring, the higher the chances increase of Drogba leaving. If Sturridge carries on his fine form for Bolton then Drogba leaving will not be so much of a burden on our attack, Sturridge and Torres link-up will be exciting to say the least!

Johan Elmander found him with a pass from the right and the Newcastle defence stood off to give Sturridge a chance to drive home from the edge of the area.

R.I.P

Fact is, we gave Sinclair his chances when he went on his loan spells. Until Swansea, he never really took his chances or made real impacts at the clubs he went to. He obviously didn't impress when he came back to us either, so I think it's unfair on that one. Some players are just better off in the Championship. With Carlton Cole, even Ray Wilkins said he was lazy. He said Carlton didn't make the most of his chances, and could've been a great player if he had. Look at him now, he's 28 (?) and still very inconsistent at West Ham, doesn't take our chances most the time. Stoch, reportedly, wanted first team action. We could not guarantee this so his transfer was fair enough, afaik, he's a regular at Fenerbahche now. Agree about Cork though.

Indeed. He'll be playing with his superior, Frank Lampard

Carlo discussing 'pressing' tactics http://www.chelseafc...2302771,00.html

We're definitely out of it. Let's not kid ourselves. The only thing Fergie is worried about now is if it's United or Arsenal who end up lifting the trophy. He knows, we're one of the only sides that can really cost him number 19 this season.
