oh for fucks sake Turnbull...can i take back my comments in the Hilario v Turnbull thread please...he`s having a `mare..our outfield players are playing better than theirs..

Daniel Sturridge 1-1..nice play.

i think he`s only playing because we got so many out due to WC and under 19 tournament...don`t know why Mitrovic isn`t involved tho..

as far as i can see after several replays..Bruma didn`t touch it.. Chelsea getting more into the game now

Turnbull should have reacted quicker then..not really sure if Bruma touched it but Ross certainly did..

nice effort from DS..just wide.

i thought 5pm ..but it`s 5pm already and they not kicked off yet...

oooh Ajax got some international players in their team..look at Ajax taking it serious..

looking forward to seeing our Cubs in such a big stage for them this evening..is certainly gonna be a step up from Selhurst Park. A jax should have a pretty young team out with splatterings of experienced players..probably more than us i should imagine due to us having more players at the WC. good luck to the lads...Come on Chelsea!!!!

would be very suprised if Matic left..i`m sure he`s pencilled in to be a first team squad regular this season..

*according to the Sun we should find out soon if Ramires is ours or not...not a bad weekly wage IF the Sun are true on this * BRAZILIAN World Cup ace Ramires will decide tomorrow whether to join Chelsea or Manchester City. The Premier League champions have made a £20million bid for Benfica's defensive midfielder. Yet Ramires, 23, who starred in Brazil's run to the quarter-finals in South Africa, is also wanted at Eastlands. Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira will meet with both English clubs to thrash out a deal best suited to the Portuguese champs. Ramires is ready to accept the four-year deal worth nearly £50,000 a week on offer from Chelsea. Yet City hope to gatecrash the party at the 11th hour. Ramires cost Benfica £5.5m from Cruzeiro last year. Brazil boss Dunga said he was sorely missed after suspension ruled him out of his nation's 2-1 last-eight defeat by the Netherlands.

Turnbull definately.. he handled the huge Inter game well and no other games in the following month are anywhere near as big a game as that was, so we should absolutely pick him..although about 10 years Hilario`s junior he plays a lot steadier than him...Hilario has made a few great saves over the years,but he`s also let in some shots that he should have easily saved. Turnbull on the other hand might not be able to pull off the world class saves..but least you know if he`s beaten..it`s by a good shot or header. whoever Carlo doesn`t pick out of the two is probably not far from the exit door...as much as Hilario is a likeable guy ,as most back up goalies usually are..i hope it`s him.

Carlo did say just after we won the double that Ivanovic done very well at RB but he sees him as a CB for us . with Bos it depends when he returns..for the time being it`s likely to be Hutchinson or Bruma... but Bruma will probably play CB against Ajax with Cork or Hutch at RB.

i`m sure we all would..but with the over inflated prices for English players we better off producing them through our youth ranks rather than buying them...luckily we have quite a few promising English and British players on our books already.

is already on the list at 19th :eyebrows:

5 million euros too.

i`m sure after the Mutu & Bosnich cases..players are watched more for tell tale signs....Crystalized noses,rolled up notes, finger rubbing gums in the locker room,over enthusiatic dancin` at the pre-game music etc...

indeed Mutu was a quality player

Bruma won`t be going on loan then and we may end up keeping Carvalho..unless Carlo is confident enough in the ability of Mancienne or Van Aanholt to play CB for us. starting CB`s will be JT and Ivanovic obviously..

*From Goal.com..also on Tribal Football..* Dinamo Bucharest Star Marius Alexe On Chelsea Radar - Report The Romanian attacker has apparently attracted the interest of Chelsea... By Stefan Coerts Jul 22, 2010 4:01:00 PM According to a report in ProSport, Premier League champions are considering making a move for promising youngster Marius Alexe, currently under contract with Romanian titans Dinamo Bucharest. The 20-year-old attacker is considered to be one of the most exciting youngsters around in European football and he's even been touted as 'the new Adrian Mutu' in his native country. Alexe was in superb form in the 2009-10 season and his good performance apparently left a mark with the rest of Europe. Chelsea have scouted the attacker on several occasions and the Blues are reportedly impressed with the young attacker's potential. The Romania under-21 star has an ongoing contract with Dinamo Bucharest and the White and Reds are reluctant to let go of their star attacker. However, Dinamo could be tempted to cash in on Alexe if an offer in the region of €5 million comes in.

i`m not so sure...he might be telling him not to go to Man City or England atall after his experience here..but i think Neymar seems to be his own man with his own mind and if he were to listen to anyone in Brazil it is more likely to be his family..he`s only known Robinho for a few months afterall,where as he has known his family all his life..and wether the reasons are purely for Neymar`s best interests or not, his family seem to be pushing for him to join Chelsea.

he`s a box to box player,just like Roy Keane or Michael Essien ;because he can tackle people think he is a DM..sure they could play that role but both players primary role is to bring the ball forward...

oh i don`t know...i`m glad he doesn`t manage Chelsea...but i`d love to see him in charge at Barcelona,Real Madrid,Man U,Bayern etc...

he wants to go back to Brazil..Fluminese aren`t willing or able to give us anything in return for a player whose under contract....so i say we try and get something for him off another Brazilian team..if the oppurtunity arises. which with us chasing Neymar,it may.

Deco wants to go back home to Brazil but he`s still under contract with us...we want a player currently playing in Brazil,whose club want 30 million for...i say we compromise ,offer them 23 mill in cash and Deco. surely better than letting him go for nothing..
