for a loan my view is quite different than it would be if we were actually buying him. it`s not gonna be another Torres,at worst it`s a one and done deal.

if you haven`t been to America,,don`t let the media put you off..it really isn`t as bad as they portray the majority of the country to be like. there`s just certain areas of some of the major cities that are bad places to be at night.but they are in parts of the city you`d have no reason to visit unless you want to do the crime show tour.

jebus,I thought I was a mongrel..just being part Saxon part Celt with some Edith Piaf in my record collection..

ok,i see you are a racist cunt..have a nice life.

Cuadrado is the first player since Torres that when he comes off the bench it feels like we`ve just had a sending off and reduced to 10 men. a turd is a turd tho..don`t matter where it came from it`s gonna stink. Wales haven`t been a top side on the world stage since the 50`s but still produced Giggs,Bale,Toshack,Hughes,Speed,Ratcliffe,Southall,Rush,Yorath,Jones...all among many others were important players in top flight championship winning teams.

it was worth taking a gamble on him for the price. I thought we were really gonna regret Dalla Bona leaving but he didn`t amount to much in the end and he showed a lot more than Romeu did before the injuries derailed Oriols career with us. Romeu is basically Paul Hughes with a more exotic name. we have more talented young midfielders waiting for a good chance imo.

Mikel`s contribution last season was nothing. we are hardly gonna fall apart. we have Matic,Fabregas,Ramires,Oscar for experienced midfielders.if we are gonna totally block any path to the matchday squad by signing somebody experienced to play sparingly instead of giving that experience to the likes of Chalobah,RLC,Baker,Van Ginkel etc.. then we will be making a big mistake.

Don`t worry aslong as Falcao plays good in his last game he will be seen as a great signing.. but his career will be seen as over if he doesn`t have a great game his first game for Chelsea..before his resurrection the following game..

it appears that Jose doesn`t want to give up on the Cuadrado experiment yet but I personally would rather have Salah in our matchday squad than him. we shouldn`t be in a rush to try and replace Willian..he is more than adequate at RW. by all means try and groom somebody behind him but no need to spend big. Salah can play multiple positions/roles for us and we already paid his transfer fee.

shame he`s essentially retired from competitive football still in his 20`s and with no health concerns. the time has come for him to depart atleast a season ago.but would think he could start for a lot of bigger clubs playing in better competitions. no need to buy any midfielders unless somebody higher up the pecking order departs,imo we should just give his place in the squad to one of our youngsters.

I don`t bother with listening or reading the media for any football if they went to college/uni instead of playing the game at any high level or have any connection with Liverpool fc. but it`s not surprising that English based media should talk mostly about English football. if we had a strong enough interest in other nations football related matters I`m sure the media do build up their players and knock them down just as much.

I thought eastern states time was 8 hours behind us..my bad. should have known it,go there atleast once a year.

that's about 11pm in Britain.

talking about genetics and similar things, I was working with a guy from Malawi last summer and the subject of players with African origins,genes etc.. who have had heart problems came up. I said I thought it was from genes of players who have some connection to malnutrition in their familes,either directly themselves in childhood or to their parents in particular their mothers during time in the womb,breastfeeding age etc.. his belief was it was not connected to that but due to the lifestyle of a lot of Africans being smokers.. I don`t know..he told me he was a Chelsea AND Arsenal fan so I must confess I didn`t take his opinion too seriously after that.. there is something to Cech having not as thick or hard a skull as most people..i myself have fractured my skull twice but although I have fractured other bones..compared to the impact they took I have no doubt that my other bones are harder than my skull.so maybe that is the case for Cech too.

Falcao for a 2 or 3 year period,was playing at the same level as Jimmy Greaves was playing at for 12 or more years. similar in style of play in some ways..both players who sometimes would only have 3 or 4 touches a game but score a hat trick. doing most of their work off the ball.

if his loan is successful it will be in part thanks to Jose using him correctly but I think the biggest factor will be if Falcao can get 100% fit and healthy.

I wouldn`t count out Bamford or Solanke standing out for a team of Villa`s quality if they were handed his game time. they both would probably play more games with their so far seemingly healthier bodies. it`s no contest between Costa and Benteke. I wouldn`t mind us having Benteke,doesn`t really bother me if we do or don`t but certainly not over Costa.

well that second half was entertaining. nice one England. british teams are making a comeback on the international stage.

I`m glad I am old enough to be a fan of the club I supported before any of our current squad were born and don`t put any of those players above the club. there`s plenty teams around who are not "beneathe" Cech playing for. he can go to a rival even..but we should not just hand Cech to them for a price we do not need. if we lose him for that we are gonna be weaker whilst making a rival stronger.let them give up something that will either weaker them or make the trade even.

I can`t quote for some reason. but Cech is under contract at Chelsea football club. they will probably let him leave before his contract ends when they don`t need to as they did with Crespo,Deco etc.. the analogy between if you got fired and the Cech situation doesn`t work out. he is not being fired,his contract is not being cancelled.

wales full of team work and 2 world class players playing without selfish ego to make the team better.funny how in 3 hours of football between Wales and Belgium ,Belgium and their "superstars" haven`t been able to score a goal against a defense that plays with a back up Palace keeper,and Reading,Hull and Swansea defenders..

To the horror of about 80% of internet based Chelsea fans...England go ahead 2-1. should have been 4 in the second half if Rooney`s finishing wasn`t so shit at present.

between complying with what Petr (or any player) wants and what is best for Chelsea..the latter should always be our priority. Petr and others have helped us win many trophies,just like playing for Chelsea has helped them win those trophies. for which they have been paid enough that nobody else in their families need to ever work for generations to come. I`d tell him he can either A) stay in London for a non rival B)go to a rival team in London aslong as what we get in return as in player makes us equal or stronger than where we`d be without him. C) go to a team who are not a direct rival,be that in England,France,Italy,Spain,Germany etc..D) Stay.

Mikel,Cuadrado,Cech (if he chooses to) Drogba leaving is enough. no need to overhaul the squad. only Cech made any valuable contributions on the field. Oscar is 24 in September,we be better served helping him become consistently good than getting the money for hm we don`t need to improve the squad as we have plenty for that already.

only Arsenal player I`d want is Ramsey. Cech playing for Arsenal or Man U would be worse than seeing Cudicini go to Tottenham and possibly worse than Joe going to Scumpool.
