Peace.

Yeah, but it's good to dream sometimes lol

It makes sense in my opinion. He is really an injury prone player, so he isn't reliable. So I would understand our board on this matter. Plus like TX said, I doubt he will want to be behind Luiz (of course if Luiz comes), and maybe even behind Ivanovic, in the picking order. Though I would be a bit sad if he leaves us.

I really hope Josh will start the game. Because with Lampard injured, he is our only one creative player (well, Malouda is also quite good for create goal occasions, but he plays below par at the moment, and Kakuta is also a creative player but the few times he plays, he's out of position). And if he doesn't start, the game will be the same shit which we have seen during 3 months. If Kakuta isn't on the team sheet, this will probably mean that he will be loaned to Fulham - which is a good thing. Depending on the score, we must replace Terry, 'cause I really fear that he picks up a new injury... And it will allow to Bruma to have some needed minutes of football. I would bench Essien, 'cause he has been very poor lately, and Mikel seems to be fit, then he can take back 'his' position. I would also bench Drogba, for the same reason. Then, move Anelka to the axis and put Sturridge on the right wing.

Well, then I'd like this lineup : Cech Bosingwa - Ivanovic - Terry - Cole Mikel Ramires - McEachran Sturridge - Anelka - Malouda But it will be either : Mikel Essien - Ramires Anelka - Drogba - Malouda or : Essien Ramires - Malouda Kalou - Drogba - Anelka

Welcome !

Yeah, I see what you mean. I guess we have a different view on this matter because of our nationalities. But me too, I would be sad to see no one of our player wear the England jersey. That's why I would allow just Ahsley to continue to play with England. Terry can't play week in and week out with Chelsea, so when there are international games it's a real pain in the ass... And Lampard is getting very old, so he shouldn't play every games. Plus when he plays for England, he prevents the Almighty God Steve G to play well. So he better to stop his international career and start to play just for the people who love him. And once Sturridge (if he is still with us) and McEachran are involved with England, we should ask Ash to stop his career.

Exactly. And Ashley should do the same thing in one or two years. And nobody - except us Chelsea fans - will miss them. But... i don't think they will do that. And I don't see Ancelotti ask them that, he isn't of the kind of Ferguson.

It was an error to buy him. But now we have him, so we gotta deal with him.

As far as I believe Kalou hasn't the level to play for a team like Chelsea, I agreed with you here. He actually is our only substitute for our front three since Sturridge and Kakuta never play and Zhirkov has never played in attack (and I think he will never do). And it would be a big error to sell him this winter if we don't buy an attacking player, which we are unlikely to do. So we should keep him til we find a proper right winger or striker. And if we give them Kalou, this wouldn't make any sense... Why weaken our weakness and strenghten our strenght ? By the way Benfica could be more kind with us, since we already have paid over the odds for Ramires

If you like him, you should go on his website : http://www.nimportequi.com/en/videos-remi_video.html It's really a pity that he couldn't continue his football career...

For Malouda I don't think so. I imagine that Carlo will move Ramires to the left side, move Essien to the right side and give back to Mikel his position. And for Ferreira, yeah, I believe he will play...If Lampard wasn't injured, I think Carlo would play Bruma. But with two major players out, he won't take that 'risk'. I would like something like this : Cech Bosingwa - Bruma - Ivanovic - Cole Mikel Ramires - McEachran Sturridge - Anelka - Malouda But this will be the same o same o good lineup : Cech Bosingwa - Ferreira - Ivanovic - Cole Mikel Essien - Ramires Anelka - Drogba - Malouda Oh my Gwad... If you don't have a Captain who moves his ass, no player moves his ass... And I really fear that this is what will happen. Peter Cech would deserve the armband...

We're managed by the Mob ps: I love Bruma's mug xD

His goal ^

Yeah ! It's a pity, I stopped to watch the game at the 87' or so... I wonder about a thing... The guy who trains our players for the finishing, Is he dead ? I found the Arsenal players really weak physically...

1-1 !

Lol, for Ramires I can't be more disagree. First of all, you should give him one season to see if he's really able to play for Chelsea. When Drogba went at Chelsea, he wasn't the player he is now from the begining, the same goes for Malouda. And you have plenty exemples with the other teams. When a player comes from an other league, he needs time to understand how the football is played. Ramires comes from a league where the physical strenght doesn't count, and where you have a long time to make a pass. Futhermore for 4 games he has been really good. So I don't understand why people want to get rid of him right now. And for the players that you have mentioned, we must sell them if and only if we are sure to replace them. We already have a tiny squad, we can't afford to reduce it once again.

A loan is the better thing we can do. When we had 8 players injured he barely had playing time, then he won't play more from now. And when Alex and Zhirkov will come back, he won't even be on the bench (sub: Turnbull, Bosingwa, Bruma/Bertrand, Ramires, Zhirkov, Kalou, Sturridge). And I guess Fulham is a good choice. He will stay near us, plus I don't think this is a team with great players, he should be easily a regular starter (if no, then he isn't the player we all think lol). And this is a good thing that it's a Premier League team ! And I hope he will play in his natural position, in the axis.

It reminds me the Neymar thread when he decided to sign a new contract with Santos FC

Yeah ! Maybe now we gonna put those €25 million for a right winger, who knows

I really hope he will start instead of Essien... But I don't know why, I think CA will bench Ramires (if he starts Mikel)...

I do not understand why we are so desperate to sign a defender...

Nah, I'm disagree here. We need someone for the futur plus I doubt that Srna is better than Bosingwa. I'd rather buy someone like Santon or Van der Wiel. The thing I really fear about is that we likely gonna have Malouda - Drogba - Anelka in every games til the end of the season...

yeah, he has only played three games (always as a substitue) in Eredivisie... It's a shame... We should loan him somewhere else.
