Peace.

Yeah, I noticed that today. I was specially focused on Luiz, and whenever Norwich attacked on our right wing - where is Bosingwa - it was always Luiz who was going to defend and the portuguese was nowhere to be seen. The fact that Luiz has to make Bosingwa's defensive works proves two things : Bosingwa is a genuine liability ; Luiz is really good.

Torres flopping was to be expected. Not because we paid other the odds, but because he was poor for a long time before January.

Yeah yeah he was good. I've chosen to speak only about field players on purpose. Otherwise, from Chelsea side, the only things which were good are Luiz, Cech and our away support.

Step 1 : Buy a right winger. Step 2 : Play Danni in the center. Step 3 : Stop wasting time with the Ladyboy.

There was only one player good today, and that was Luiz. I am glad we have this guy.

Luiz is a sunbeam into this lethargical team.

Rémi Gaillard is better than him.

This. When you aren't permit to rest a bit, you dose your efforts.

Okay.. I thought so. But, I mean, buy a club in an inderect way, via one of Roman's friend, or something like this, like what happened to Vitesse.

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.
