Peace.

I know you're a girl, but nobody can resist to Eva's charms

I too was thinking about the possibility to buy another club. Though I'd rather an english one, and a club based in London would be best because our loanees would be really near of us. for instance, a team like Leyton Orient, Wimbledon or Charlton.

Rôh, c'mon Francozola, I bet you also would like to be between her hands :eyebrows:

He should impress in the Youth Cup, first...

You talk some sense here ! The money we use for the transfer fees and the money we use to pay players' wages are two different things and will have two different repercussions on the club. So we shouldn't say we can pay Cahill £80k-a-week because we've only paid him £7m. Indeed, we spend straight away the amount of money we have to pay for a player, and thus, when the FFP will be on, this money spent on the fee will have strictly no effect on our financial wealth. So we can splurge £200m now without being able to refund the debt it will leave to us, it doesn't matter for the forthcoming FFP. But, we don't pay the wages we have to right now, no, we pay them each and every weeks. Therefore, the wage we agree to give a player now, will have repercussions in the four years to come, or even more. Had we bought him in the summer for £15 millions (as Coyle wanted) and thus gave him a wage of £50k-a-week, it would have been a 5,5 years deal valued at £28m. The deal we've made is actually valued at £30m. If we look at the figures, it is more or less the same. But actually no. The FFP will limit us to X millions pounds to give for the wages. So basically, it is when we will try to buy a player that we will see that those £30k-a-week of difference will trouble us. Hence, as you I would have prefered to buy him for £10m+

I am agree about Sturridge. I am 100% convinced that if Ancelotti would have given him playing time, he would have shined exactly like he did at Bolton.

Yes. But Cahill is neither the next big thing, nor the kind of player which will win us the Champions League. If he was one of these two options, the fact we have given him a big wage would have been understandable, on both marketing and sportive level. Thus, in my opion, it proves that if we can lower the wage bill, we do it, but if we can't, it doesn't bother us that much. I mean, if it was truly one of our utmost aims, we would have passed to the B plan. Yep, that's because it's coming from The Times I've asked if someone could get the article, since it does look much more reliable than the Daily Mail.

He could be on free or on a £100m fees, the fact is still the same. So if we really wanted to lower our wage bill, we wouldn't have answered to his demand. Since we had, it shows that we are not really looking for having a lesser wage bill.

Definitely ! But the last deal we've made suggests that we aren't on the way to do so.

He is on £70k or £75k.

He is the LB version of Bosingwa, don't worry.

I really hope the spanish federation will take action against him. I doubt of it, but it will be the right thing to do. His behaviors are lamentable. Even Rooney has said he was an idiot, on his twitter lol. Madrid brag shit to death with their "royalty" thing. If they were really "royal", they wouldn't have such a butcher among their ranks. Well, in the match league on December 10th, that was the same thing (without bas behaviors from Real's players).

They are talking about Eriksen, I guess. For some reason, I've always seen this guy being called Erikson here lol.

Do you remember this ?

Does anyone here is subscribed to The Times website ? Because they apparently have made an article on Sturridge being unhappy, and I can't access it... Here a sum-up I found on the Daily Mail : "Andre Villas-Boas is facing another test of his authority as Chelsea manager after it emerged that Daniel Sturridge is growing increasingly disillusioned with his lack of opportunities to play as a centre-forward."

If we have to look for players complementing some of ours, then it should be for Mata, Danni or Ramires, them are the men on form and the men for the futur.

Andre Villas-Boas will take his flagging Chelsea players on a five-day trip to Majorca next week designed to boost team morale. Villas-Boas has been given permission by his bosses at Stamford Bridge to take the players on a mid-season team-bonding trip to the same destination favoured by legendary Derby, Leeds and Nottingham Forest manager Brian Clough, who referred to the Spanish island as his ‘branch office’. The Portuguese is keen to shield his squad ahead of next weekend’s powderkeg FA Cup fourth-round tie against neighbours QPR. Chelsea captain John Terry faces criminal charges and an ongoing FA investigation following an alleged racial insult towards QPR defender Anton Ferdinand last year. Chelsea will head back to London after their Barclays Premier League match against Norwich at Carrow Road on Saturday lunchtime and fly to Majorca. Although Villas-Boas is imposing strict training schedules on his players for schedules on his players for the duration of their break, there will be down time. He wants to use the trip to improve relations between his players and members of the management team after yet another turbulent season at Stamford Bridge. It will also give new signing Gary Cahill the opportunity to integrate with the squad. The players will train at least once a day and will be under a strict 11pm lights-out curfew. Chelsea have a midweek break because of the Carling Cup semi-finals and do not play again until their west London derby with Mark Hughes’s side on Saturday week.

Am I the only one liking when the camera is filming from above ? It would be cool if they do the same thing in EPL.

After Pepe's stomp on Messi, it's Coentrao who is pulling Messi's hair. lol

Déjà vu.

Pépé is a shame for Football.

This is like the last time. Real are leading early in the game thanks to the Barça goalkeeper's mistake, and then they are totaly out-played. I will be very surprised if Barça doesn't score at least once.

Two on-side whistled as offside against Barça, in a row.

This Pepe is a cunt.

Bloody hell, I thought that was this week-end Thanks LDN !
