No he played, as a sub. He's playing against Napoli this evening if anyone want to watch him. Personally Im sure its true.

I posted that in the player's topic, but anyway.. In the past few days, there have been new contacts between Jorge Mendes and #FCPorto over the proposed transfer of Jackson Martinez to #CFC The arrival of Jackson Martinez at Chelsea could free Demba Ba who has been offered to Inter Milan. (via @AlfredoPedulla) Guarin+Martinez would be a fantastic January imo.

I agree, but i think they are so frustrated with Benzema that they will easily throw him out for Falcao. i never understand why this forum seems to like Benzema that much, i hear (and think) very different things about this guy. Hugh overrated for me, how can he be considered as one of the best when he misses so much? in France they prefer Giroud over him most of the time recently.

I cant believe Hazard is second in the votes for MOTM, he was awful and so frustrating to watch. Done almost nothing with the ball, and he had it a lot. Ivanovic and Torres are just shocking, not just today, game after game they driving me crazy.

Its probably true that Benzema is a better passer, better pivot striker and stuff like that, but i cant belive someone really thinks that makes him a better striker than Falcao or even close to him. Falcao is a different class, he's in a all other level, the fact Benzema can do more on the pitch doesnt mean he does it so well to be considered as good as a goal monster like Falcao. Ask any Real fan or the club himself if they will replace between them, what do you think they'll say? its not just his finishing, its the positioning, its getting passed defenders, Falcao is a 16 yard box genius, you cant say he's just a great finisher.

Great players? Nasri is extremly inconsistent, he's having an ok season but when was he realy 'great' except half a season in Arsenal? All Navas does is running wide.. a very flat RW. Both of them wouldnt get into the first 11 of Bayern, Real, Dortmund, Barcelona, Chelsea, PSG.. so i dont think they are good enough for a club who spends so much on players every summer. CIty are playing with only 2 AM's and i think Silva needs a better partner there if City wants to be as good as the top 3-4 teams in Europe. Its no coincidence they chased Isco all summer.

They wont get it in January, but I think CIty need to have better AM's than Nasri/Navas/Milner as a first choise.

Wow thats even more hilarious... you realy think Guarin isnt good enough with the ball to play as a CM? i cant understand why you're talking so much about a player you almost havent watched.. thats realy ridiculous, people can call your bluff you know, there are people who realy watched him. Guarin is a lot better than Ramires with the ball, better passer, with better techniques. Better than Mikel of course btw..

First of all the fact that this season he plays as a CAM doesnt mean he's 'more naturally an attacking midfielder than a CM', thats a bulshit fact you just made up. He's a CM. Mikel is "Chelsea quality"? Guarin brings power, abillity to run and make breaks in midfield, he's techniquely gifted, can pass the ball forword, what does your beloved Mikel knows to do compare to that?

Its not "buying for the sake of buying", its buying becuase you need someone that much and our situation in this area is so awful that we can lose the league because of that, and look pathtic against the top teams in Europe in the CL. We can buy a CM now, and buy another one in the summer, a world class one. Right now you cant get Gundogan its not that hard to understand. Jose got himself into this situation, if we can fix it for the remainder of the season why not.

You got it wrong i think. I completely agree we do need a world class midfielder or a potentially world class midfielder like you said, but you cant get those players in January. You can get Gundogan (world class) or Witsel (potentially world class) only in the summer (Lars Bender is not in this level imo). So you're saying: "if we cant get them now, lets not buy anyone"? i think thats wrong, we need a player, even if its a player who next season will only be a squad player, we need this Guarin/Cabaye/whatever to be better in the current season... to fight fot the PL and to be able to compete better in the CL.

You shouldnt have put Palmeri here... now people will think its his news.. Its Di Marzio's news.

#Inter Milan director Branca met #CFC in London today where discussions were held regarding Andrea Ranocchia & Fredy Guarin (via @dimarzio) @dimarzio Meeting beetween @chelseafc and @inter for @fguarin13: italian directors were in London yesterday. #DembaBa in the possible deal? I would take Guarin in January.

Nemanja Matic's agent is due in London for talks with former club Chelsea (Mail)

MVG was never the solution for our midfield problem so early. Needs to improve a lot.

If he'll got back to this brilliant hair i'll be happy to consider it

What stability Mikel gives you...?

----------------Ba------------- Hazard------Mata----Willian ---------Mikel------Ramires---- Cole----Terry-----Cahill----Azpi --------------Cech--------------

Song looks really awful technically when he plays in Barca.. It would be better than what we have but not sure if it's enough.

The answer for me is none. We dont have that becuase all combo's are shit. Not signing a CM this summer was by far Mou's biggest football desicion that i remember him making. Fucked up big time, and i hope he'll fix it in January if it wont be too late.

Yeah.. i dont think he likes him too much. What was the question about Lukaku btw?

No strikers in January. But why dont they ask him about other positions?!

Jose Mourinho is considering a loan deal for Fabio Coentrao in January (Mail) I hope its true. Mendes on Matic: "He has a release clause of €50m but Benfica could deal a lower fee. CFC is very interested and would like to bring him back" How is Matic's passing and playmaking ability?

You probably mean Rooney/Lewandovski type, but how many are there besides them? and if Jose turns to Martinez it also means he thinks we need a striker asap.
