Wenger would teach our kids that winning is not important,it`s pretty passes and willingness to stroke his pocket hamster that matter.

I wouldn`t mind him going to Man City..he would have to face what he did with us.instead of being one of the top 3 at the clubs he`s shined with.competition for game time. if he does good with them it won`t show that we were wrong to sell him,just that he matured as he should have already. if he fails it`ll prove we were right to sell him.

Super Dan Petrescu one of my all time Chelsea foreign imports, even tho we got him from Sheffield Wednesday and he had that training field incident with a young JT. hopefully nationality isn`t his only similarity.

with the number of subs you can name on the bench these days and the amount of young talent we have,we can name atleast one youngster among our subs every game.(counting Zouma as an established player rather than a "youngster" now). in games we are up by a few goals it would be better to send on one of those rather than established players who don`t need the experience.

apart from the final I only saw Chelsea`s games ( I go to on average about 95 % of the games a season and work my bollocks off the rest of the season to afford it so no time for a broad view of how everybody performed)

Messi is picked on their RW . Courtois didn`t do great but I didn`t see any keeper stand out in the tournament really from the games I saw.

we should have kept him around...he would always be in my matchday squad and be the first off the bench if I was in charge. I`d only want Cuadrado around to go on Charlie runs for me.

I`m only here during the offseasons and occasionally during the early hours after getting home from an away win,if I`m buzzing too much to sleep . so can`t really vote.i don`t get to see how people react to a loss which would influence my voting for the majority if not all categories.

I haven`t bought a jersey for about 28 years...was given the black away one from about 2002 and the epic white with blue stripe from a couple of seasons later as Christmas presents from the wife of the time. don`t really like wearing football shirts due to the feel of them..(cotton will always be king) but always take an interest in them just to see how the boys will look on the pitch.

letting Schurrle go and signing Cuadrado beggers belief. I`m fine with Willian starting at RW but Schurrle covered many spots and could actually make a positive impact coming off the bench. I`m usually far more patient than most when it comes to new signings and never as some fans do write off a signing before he`s played (maybe because about 90 % of footballers I watch are only during the Chelsea games I attend,so don`t get to see these players extensively before signing) but I`m fine with us ending this project early. I don`t think somebody like Swift could have done worse in his place..

Kakuta is far from our biggest Flop or really a Flop atall..he`s more like a ripple. is not like we paid a huge transfer fee and he was playing at a high level at a big club before we signed him. just a young prospect who never elevated his game to become a regular squad member for us. we have had plenty of those. a Flop is a player who falls from a higher level of playing.

for me he should have been given more game time and he should have been more patient himself. of course we can only comment on what we see "on stage"..behind the scenes he might have been a brat/cunt. I wouldn`t say any of the young Belgians we have/had were mentally mature enough to play for a top club when they arrived,which isn`t entirely all their fault,they have been hyped up so much.

he`s a typical Scumpool signing. overpaying for another Danny Murphy. decent player for an "also ran" club but more of a workhorse than a player whose gonna elevate them beyond mediocrity. they would have to spend about £200-300m and wisely to get back into league winning contention and then have players and coaches that can handle playing for such a fanbase with giddy delusional expectations of some devine right to be above all over clubs.

I think work permits should be granted to players who will receive a certain salary. if he was applying for a job in a different field they would take that into account. I thought it was a thing just to stop immigration from people who don`t add something to the country they wish to live in but people earning a good wage,even as fringe players would pay a good amount of tax to that country.

As I understand it George Weah would not have got a work permit under current rules. there gotta be a little sense added to it..top players can be from nations outside of the top 50. especially when the World cup is never played by the top 32 teams in the world and yet playing in the tournament boosts your nations ranking giving it a false reading.

I voted would make a good squad player. I`d be fine with the swap but as mentioned by someone else..would leave us with 0 true leftbacks.so we would need to buy a LB. I`m really not bothered if we get him or give the depth spot to somebody like Kalas,Omeruo instead. infact if it involved a transfer fee instead of a swap I`d prefer we just used one of those. each can play RB too.

he would make a nice upgrade over Ramires. but Rami seems a Jose favourite so probably not in the cards.

I rate him the same as Salah. both show flashes,but not consistent with end product...Salah appears to have better character,Sterling homegrown,Salah`s transfer fee has already been paid and he doesn`t expect the same salary that Sterling does. I think if we loaned some of our better youngsters to clubs the same standard as Scumpool..they would stand out as much if not more.so would prefer to just ease them into the rotation as they would be happy for now with that,where as Sterling probably would have ideas above his station and sulk.Sterling would not start for us over Hazard or Willian.

would have preferred him than seeing Cuadrado coming off the bench. I don`t see us looking for starters on our flanks but Cuadrado comes on when we are losing and it`s like throwing in the towel. maybe he`s more skilled than Kalou but we have yet to see him make an impact like Kalou did every now and then.

and Hilario "won" more trophies with us than Peter Bonetti..

stats indicate that Claudio Pizzaro was the greatest striker import in the history of German league football,a better level of competition than the French league overall..does anyone regret him leaving us?

i`m ok with him coming for a year.i`m o.k with him not coming for a year but i`m mad against us actually committing to buy him next year regardless of how he does now. the Monaco owner made the biggest business mistake of his life pumping millions into a club that plays on a tiny island(even if it`s full of millionaires) in a tiny stadium..we shouldn`t help dig him out of the mess by paying so much for a talented player who may just never be the player he was again.

he handled starting in a European cup final. we should never have loaned him out after that. and I`m glad he`s doing good at Southampton but top teams often let good players leave.he wasn`t gonna beat out Dave and we have held back his career long enough. he earned the chance to start elsewhere and has proven himself good enough for England that he wouldn`t have got if he stayed. we messed him around long enough. he`s a solid player but I wouldn`t say he`s the most talented young player we have had in recent years or that him not making it with us means no young player will. midfielders have a better chance than defenders because Jose and other managers are more likely to rotate them and we have a few with bigger potential than Bertrand had.

he`s good enough for this league,he`s good enough for CFC..he simply has a better player ahead of him. it only became a bad buy because we didn`t have injuries to our starting fullbacks. much like paying insurance on a car is regretted if we don`t have a bump in it. if Dave or Bran had broke their leg, signing him would have been seen as a good buy. much like Zhirkov was when we lost Ashley for a few months during our last Prem winning season.

The old Falcao I would love. it`s a gamble...takes a while to get over the injury he had and if he does it`s normal for it to take this long but some players are never the same again. even a loan deal is a gamble as it blocks others from getting a chance for a season.
