to take from the film Brewsters Millions..i vote none of the above. we have far more attackers than we can house..Kalou and Anelka should both go so Mata,Sturridge and Lukaku aren`t obstructed by dead wood.

it used to be a policy of Chelsea among many other teams not to let loaned out players play against their parent club,the F.A then made it into a ruling for all English teams. i`m not sure how it applies to English clubs in europe but i guess it`s the same..it is a good thing i think. say we signed DeBruyne,loaned him back to Genk. Chelsea plays Genk,the score is level and he scores an own goal that wins the game for Chelsea..he`d probably get lots of shit for that and probably be accused by some of doing it on purpose. it`s to avoid things like that happening that they do it for every team in England now.

we had Roy Wegerle back in the day.

as i was scrolling through this thread i was thinking why not use ABC tune for AVB..and then i come to the end and see it.. :blue scalf:

but do we really know that Mata is going to play on the left wing? we have needed width on the right side for longer than we have on the left.maybe Mata was brought in to play the RF/RW role. which is what i think might be the case.

it`s cool that you kinda knew him through a friend of a friend. Albert did play for Spain tho 36 times (his career ended in `99 ,a year after we signed him) and played in two world cups. something possibly not that well known at Chelsea is that Albert is a Gold medal Olympian winning it with the Spanish national team in 1992 in his hometown. .

i think it`s fair to say AVB knows him and his own vision for Chelsea better than any of us, so i hope he gets him.

for 2m Euros..it`s worth a swing of the bat. Roman probably pays that for a new sofa. :eyebrows:

i think i might be in the minority but ever since we went in for Mata i thought it would be to play him in the RF/RW . so even with this guy being brought in (if bid accepted) i still see a place for Modric or someone of his kind. i wonder if Kalou has cleared out his locker yet.. :eyebrows:

breaking news: SSN just reported we have made an official bid for him..fee unknown at this stage.

hey?, Australia Alex not Argentina.. :eyebrows: welcome aboard anyway mate..is a good bunch here. we are like the united nations of Chelsea.

i think he could be great...i see him as being a diamond for us..just needs to polish up what should be his primary role in the team., keeping forwards quiet.! i`m sure he will get to be a better defender in time..needs to calm down a bit more at times and watch those wreckless challenges. he could have been sent off atleast once and in fairness,he should have really in that home game against Man U. he looked great going forward in that game,but we need to remember he`s supposed to be a CB. i got high hopes for him ,i just don`t want us relying too much on him by selling more solid players just yet because i don`t think Luiz is quite ready to be the rock at the back for us at this stage of his career. maybe in a few months he will have sorted out the wrinkles. .

it doesn`t appear that any ransom was paid. they just said he was found after a tip off from a former policeman.

when i was growing up the likes of Juve and Milan just absolutely owned the transfer market. even Barcelona and Madrid were in their shadow. how the worm has turned. they are like the trailer park trash of the top leagues now. cheeky fookers too if they think they can get Alex on the cheap or by swapping for one of their cast offs.

still seems a bit cloudy with the details max. they did say he`s been released so that kind of suggests there was something like that..but i guess if they got 6 people under arrest,they may have swooped on them during the exchange. will update if they say anymore.

John must be estatic now. eternal respect for how he`s dealt with it all.

6 people been arrested for it . just saw it on SSN`s now

the Prem is a marathon ..we slipped up but we are actively pursuing players that we were crying out for last year. that Man U team was the worst team to ever win the Prem in my opinion,they have bought in well for the future,but i don`t think they have strengthened that much for this season. De Gea will be good for them i`m sure but he`s not gonna be as good for them as Van der Saar was the last few years. not for a few seasons yet if atall.... they`ve got injuries too remember and lost players like Scholes through retirement. is only really Ashley Young who i can see making his mark at the club out of the new signings they`ve made in his debut year. it could go anyway this year i think between us and the Mancs both red and blue.. but i know nobody wins the title before March at the earliest and the enemy will have a slump before it`s done,maybe more than one..

for those worried about Man U`s start. they will slump as they always do at some point,we just gotta hang with them until they do ,then go for it. realistic fan here too. not expecting anything but progress as a club.

think he meant in style of play rather than him being the equal of Xavi and Iniesta..that`s how i read it anyway.

ah right i see..not too bad then.though i`m sure it`s not something that AVB and JT would take lightly. i don`t know if you follow the NFL but the New York Jets QB was filmed once eating an hotdog whilst sitting on the bench waiting for the Jets D to get off..i think in part the Jets seemed to be in on it tho,but it was a big thing for a few days in the media.

may i ask what the Hamburger incident is about? i`m starting to think all sorts here...first off i need to know. is it anything kinky that the tabloids would massacre him over?

Meh, I`m still on the Gus Bus ...he just stopped over there to take a dump in their replica league cup

absolutely! when Ashley went down for those months,that could have totally derailed our season,but he came in and done a good job for us and played his part to earn his medals. Good luck Yury.you won`t be forgotten. i only took his sig down because i thought i was bringing him bad luck last season.

£50 Justin. that`s about 1,600,000,000 in US dollars! well...give or take 1,599,999,930.. :eyebrows:
