Thats not the question.

The main question(apart from the question of Lampard In/Out) is if Sturridge is good enough to be our starter right winger?

Stupid question- lets just say we are signing Mata and Modric until the end of the month, where do you think it place our squad/starting 11, compare to City, United, and other Europe giants?

FourFourTom Internet.... :mellow:

THIS IS SO NOT TRUE Benayoun DID NOT demand this number, he always loved the number 15 on his shirt, but 15 was Malouda's already, so our club probably decided to offer him the number 10, because Joe left and 10 was available. So he said yes. Listen to me, im from Israel, Yossi isnt my fav player, but i know what kind of a person he is, egomaniac?! Thats the last thing you can say about him. The last. Stop with this bashing when you dont know him. Your making it into a such a big deal. So he agreed to take the number 10, WOW, what an asshole... its normal that when Joe left, Yossi, Joe's replacment, got it.

I think thats the best Chelsea's article Ive ever read.. seems too good though

He asked "what would our starting 11 look like", he didnt asked "what do you think our starting 11 should look like?" Until Lampard wont play realy, realy bad, Boas wont think about taking him off. And personally i think Lamps deserves the chance.

What about your source?

Lets wait for our club final decisions, eh?

well... I thought its obvious he's talking about City. They did bid for him, we and United probably didnt. The Mirror claim its City too btw: http://www.mirrorfoo...icle786237.html Ohhh

Nasri on his facebook page: "It's nearly done. But I will leave with bitterness and anger in my heart." "I am proud for having played with the Gunners." "I've been very disappointed by the supporters last weekend." "I am still an Arsenal player but I will certainly leave very soon." Its done, and im pretty happy he didnt end up in our side. Nasri isnt the player that we need in the right winger postion(we need speed!), and he isnt what we need in the playmaker position(he wasnt good enough in this position in both french sides he's playing, and he's lack of defensive abilities). So i dont think its a loss. And I dont think Boas realy want him actually.

One the other hand, you have the likes of Michel Essin. Eden is an amazing player and i think he will be one of the best in the world.

Please get him!!! Hazard+Modric, and maybe we're on top again. This guy is just what we need(said it so many times this summer LOL), he realy was my second choise after Hulk.

Who cares how they see us? didnt understand this statment, just like your second one, the club won't sign him any first team material? Are you sure we should listen to you? cause its look like we are trying hard to sign Modric, and AVB says he wants two more players. Lets wait and see...

But can we trust its his real quotes? Its still Daily Star...

I want to be enthusiastic like you about our so called interst in him, but 98% of the fans of spanish football(includes Valencia fans) that i heard/read, says he's realy medicore and overated. And Valencia fans say worse things about him, im being polite... So why you so want him in our team? I know that the people who said those things know a thing or two, so i kind a want it to be false rumors.

You still dont get it... in the first two season we had a superb start, but when people talk about experience and winners mentallity its also the abiliity to continue the superb start. It wasnt easy for us. And after Mou left, we kind a got lost. This could happen to an inexperience club in that level. It was hard for us to compete for everything again... but we did it. We had two seasons that we compete for everything as good as we can even if it was quite a mess(3 managers in a year and a half).

You took it the wrong way... im not trying to find reasons, those "reasons" are actually Football/Sports/Businesses/Life nature. It seems that you insist to talk about us like we were there all the time, or that it is so easy to build winners mentality and experience. Its just not. When some young, lack of experince business man, trying to fight the Big Dogs, the big companies, what did he gets normally? just look at City and see. And than look at us.

If their last season is even to our first season with Roman, so I tottaly proved my point. Do you remember our line up back than? laughable compares to 10/11 Man City team. Absulute laughable. No place to discussion realy... They had/have amazing players, loads of them, and they still played awfull consider their potential. And it was the second/third season for most of them.

About City, as i said in my first post, City did started in a different way than us, but look at there squad in 2009/2010 and 2010/2011, dont you think they have unbelievably underachieved? I mean, ffs, with all those players they didnt get to the Top 4, spuds beated them!!!! And than they brought YToure, Kolarov, Silva, Balotely, and they still didnt make a real impression on someone until the 1-0 against United in the FA cup semi-final. Before that? we, with our rubbish form beated them 2-0 easliy. Manchester City, The Abu Dhabi version, are already big underachievers. But again, they can change it and amazes us all. We didnt amazed anyone, because for the first minute Mourinou came, we were the absulute best in the country. Our players partnership with Jose was like...all sparks. Very true.

If there was a poll of "Who's the best team in the world" Chelsea wouldn't win it. You obviously dont know this forum if you say that. And warnie_666, whats you point? Carlo should have got sacked, and he did. BLionheart, 2006-2007: Wierd season, a lot of injuries, finishing second and lost our title, but winning the FA CUP against Man U in the final. 2 titles, not a bad season. Im not counting 2003/2004 because it wasnt the same team, the Chelsea you see now, and the Chelsea that people know as one of the best teams in the world, is the Chelsea of Morinhou. I think you need to look more at the big picture, you are not considering the lack of experience our club had as a top club. Its not that easy to come from almost nowhere and competing with huge clubs in Englend and in the CL. I read what both of you said, I get your point, but im suggesting you to look very closly at Man City in the coming years. And look now on the reaction of people to City, why people dont taking them more seriously? im not saying people dont take them seriously, but with the squad and money they have, they should have been appreciated way more. And its becuase of there football, and because of there lack of experience. We had alot, A LOT of luck that we got a genius to start this team, without Jose I dont know what Chelsea was today, maybe this project would have failed. And you can see that after Jose got sacked, we didnt have a storng character manager that could face Roman and do what HE wants. Roman is a very difficult humanbein. Alot of our problems are because of Roman's decisions, but what can you say? I cant complain about him even if he will left tommorow. He's responsible for almost all, the good and the bad. Its not a fantasy world, you cant have it all in a split of a second just because of your money and players, there are many big, rich clubs with a big name on them, teams who hated to see us coming from nowhere and become better than them or at least int there level. Those clubs still got the fancy history and experience, mentality, and we did our very best to win them even if we are lack of those things. And we did it very well. 3 PL titles, 3 FA Cups, a CL final and deserved one more final, but uefa took it from us. Maybe in that year we would have won it? i dont want to think about that, but you need to consider it. We where the only team ever to do what we did, try to think about that also.

Someone saw France vs Chile this week? Malouda played a lot on the right wing, and he was kind a impressive with nice runs on that wing, crosses, dangerous low balls... If he will play with this energy maybe we it can be okay with him, Sturridge and This Alvero Perrira from Porto.

I'll say it just a bit loud so you will stop say "we dont need a left back": He's a left back and a winger, and he's better as a winger.

If thats true, so its a good thing we didnt won it

I think he's going to replace Malouda, i dont thing he will come as a left back back up. I hope so because Bertrand got to play.
