LDN Blue

He already stated on his Twitter he was happy at Cardiff and would not be moving. He's fucking 28 anyway, we don't need another play closer to his 30's

Not a young one, in my opinion. We need one now. Who's got plenty of experience and is a big talent.

Nono, as in that young product who's got that experience and is now being integrated as a regular in the squad

Albrighton is a fantastic player. I think he's like our version of Jack Cork (difference is, Villa gave him a chance). It's a shame we don't need him, he would've made a great signing.

let's not start this again..

LOL well I'll have Roman then

Yeah, this is a place where fellow fans discuss Chelsea topics. It would be great if the board did look at this, but that's not how things work. But still stick around

LOL nono, just light banter

Not sure if you get the concept.. But this isn't directly linked to the Chelsea board.

I'd still like to see Anelka on the bench of our squad. He's got experience that you'd like to bring on in the 80th minute just to hold up a lead or give someone a rest ect.

Should've showed them it in my opinion. They deserve to face that humiliation.

same with Sinclair..

Alex's monster free kick vs Arsenal?

Yeah you're definitely right. On the left wing we're sorted with Malouda & Zhirkov. On the right, we've got nothing. Carlo tries to put Anelka, Kalou & Sturridge there, but he does not understand they're not wingers. If we could find a player, around the age of 24, who's got plenty of experience and skill, and is purely right sided we will be sorted (in attack). It's something we've lacked in a long long while, the only player who can actually play the wing is Benayoun, and he's out till April so, in hindsight, that wasn't a bad signing.

Nono, definitely agree with you. One just needs to look at his drives into the box when playing to know how much more he gives to our attack. His drives are tremendous vs Aston Villa last year (in the 7-1) it was his strides into the box that won us penalties because defenders could simply not handle him. His improvisation is also something we miss, his cross for Ivanovic in the game vs Blackburn was sensational. The way he twisted his whole body to get that beauty of a cross to Ivanovic was just beautiful and hardly picked up by people. Certainly, when he comes back, he'll give us a big boost when we attack.

Am I the only one frustrated about lack of information about what's wrong with him? :mellow:

They tried it at Liverpool at the beginning of the season. Didn't work. Also, don't compliment Joe Cole here, you'll get gunned down for it.. Trust me, I know.

I guess this sums up the thread: :getyou:

Excuse me but. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. Playstation experts? Are you watching the same games we do? Or are you playing with Chelsea on your playstation and judging Kalou from his improvements on there? Honestly. If he didn't play for Chelsea, you would have the same views as us, the blue tinted shades clouds your judgement. Any Tom, Dick or Harry can see Kalou is not Chelsea quality, and he's not in the top5 of African footballers. But since you'd rather ignore these views and brush them off as coming from "play station experts" then there's really no point in even discussing this

It's about f*cking time. (For Bruma)

Ashley Cole vs Sunderland. Any day.

Perhaps my fault, the sub-heading is a bit misleading. I really didn't want this to turn into a Ramires bashing :\

Difficult.. Very difficult.. Gary Cahill is the most obvious one, because we don't need to wait for him to "adapt" to the Premier League because he's already used to it. He's got a good header and a good tackle, his pace isn't half bad too. The problem is, imo, he's very small for a defender. While I don't expect central defenders to be big, butch, and powerful, there is a certain expectancy they can go shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Ibrahimovic, David Villa, Benzema ect. I think in one-on-one challenges with these types of attackers, they'd get the best of him. David Luiz on the other hand is much stronger. From what I've seen, he's got a great crunching tackle, his headers are good too. The fact he's been called up to play for the Brazilian national squad shows he's one of Brazilians up and coming stars, at the age of just 23 that's quite an accomplishment. The trouble we would have, is the "Ramires issue", how long will it take for him to adapt to the demands of the Premier League and moving to England. The hefty price of £30million is quite off-putting too. To be honest, I haven't seen much of him (don't follow Portuguese football). Kjaer. Got no clue.

Rajkovic has been receiving some praise from the Vitesse coach..

I hope Bruma outshines Terry
