  1. Looks like we already saw this coming and hence Cuadrado. Chelsea board ahead of the curve once again, no surprise.
  2. On the other hand, Mourinho vs Simeone ... 4-1 win 2-0 win 2-1 win 1-2 loss 0-0 draw 1-3 loss Not too impressive.
  3. Shame that's not what they're actually there for.
  4. Funny, couple of goals changes the entire narrative.
  5. I really hope that stuff about Drogba continuing to be a Chelsea player next season is not true and that we give Paddy B his well deserved crack at the first team. I'm hopeful because ever since this loan policy has been set up, the only handful who have gone on to get chances are the ones who've performed exceptionally during their loan spells - Courtois, Sturridge, Lukaku, KdB. Oh, and here's an interview he did with ZooSport :
  6. To be fair, the Clintons are a very good looking lot.
  7. Watching him against Madrid the other day just drove home yet again what a shame it is that we missed out on him in the summer. Would've been perfect for us. Mikel has his uses and anyone who's been here long enough will tell you I've defended him a lot but he's far too limited for an aspirational side like ours.
  8. For others like me who haven't seen the goals yet : Hazard -- > http://gfycat.com/SeriousShamelessJuliabutterfly Ivanovic --> http://gfycat.com/RecentHandyDamselfly
  9. The way Ivan's reputation as a defender never dissipates is akin to people still thinking Iniesta is some god. I love the guy but come on.
  10. Best ever African in the EPL, according to Opta
  11. Unleashing the 2005 Youth World Championship Player of the Tournament on poor, hapless Aston Villa? Now that's just cruel.
  12. Much bigger miss than Costa. Oscar needs to pick up the slack tomorrow, can't afford passengers in the side.
  13. That would depend more on getting in the CL, I think. Maybe; doesn't mean I like reading about it all the time though
  14. Jesus, what? No! Can you imagine the media circlejerk? Louis a genius, United a phoenix, etc. Would like a complete outsider to nick it (Boro!) but if not, among the three red shits I'd prefer Arsenal because the monkey's off the back anyway.
  15. Still referring to us as 'this club' :') Good luck and #behappy Shirley
  16. In theory, yes. But in practice, Chelsea go about in a way that makes longer contracts more sensible ... our transfer fees are large even for squad signings and wages are relatively modest; that's the idea with buying young. Torres was a one-off ... we've learned our lesson. Besides, on loaning out unneeded players it's the transferee club that picks up the FFP hit because they usually pay some if not all the wages.
  17. No because France doesn't possess some extraordinary football brains like Jamie Redknapp.
  18. You really, really think Hazard is worth more than Messi right now?
