Because he had to access the squad first , he did not have the luxery of being able to access the squad and overhall it in his first summer. Also i dont know what some people are expecting ? splash 100 million on 2 or 3 players we cant beause of the FFP looming and also Roman most likely wants to see a return his investment espeically the 70 million spent last jan.

How many more chances will he get.... alot of us are turning our back on him now. we should have signed a right winger , at least then we could have played danny down the middle.

Seriously no need. I loved the Mourinho era but honestly if he came back , could you see him dropping the likes of malouda ? AVB has shown us glimpses of the Chelsea he could build. he simply does not have the players to play the way he wants and i would like to see anyone here manage big ego's like malouda , cole etc he has already shown he will drop under performing players like Frank when he was shite earlier this season. He inherted an overpaid underperfoming sqaud and didnt have time or the money to rebuild the side completely so he has had to use what he has got , we saw last season this team was on its way out. The team should have been refreshed around 2 seasons ago but wasnt because Carlo won the double etc so is that AVB's fault. I think we have all been spoiled by the success over the last few years and fail to see this club has come on leaps and bounds since Roman's arrival , yes this season has been shite and maybe the worst team of the Roman era but things can only get better and i think we need to give Andre the chance to build his team not a bunch on jose/carlo rejects.

maybe more this - --------------------Drogba---------------- Robben------------------Guddy----------------Duff -----------------------Lampard----------Makalele------- Cole---------------------------------------------------------Paulo ----------------------Terry-----------Carvalho---------------------- -------------------------Cech------------------------------- Obviously all in there prime not now.

Dippers winning now...

Not the team we once were eh....

Gotta love , how people expected the last day of the transfer window to be exciting before the Torres/Luiz saga it wasnt very interesting.

i could see real snapping him up in the summer

man this guy looks young.

They play good football , so it will be a tough game , but we have the quality to beat them lets hope we get off to a good start.

Katuka's hype was boosted by the amount of hassle we went through to get him , then he played great in the under 19's euro champs , not to mention the French media. It was hard not to jump on the band wagon , i for one thught he would be tearing defences apart left right and center in the PL by now. but how many other you players have you seen hyped up to fail Freddy Adu , kleberson our very own John obi mikel and much much more.

Correct. Also the hype was justified for Katuka because of his amazing performace in the Euro's (under 19's) Back to Willian , i think we will be back in for him in the summer when we realise we cannot get eden.

Lets be honest , Flomo has had a great couple of seasons with us and i respect how he helped us to our First Double , but its time to move on and bring in a young hungry player.

Chances of us getting Hazard in the summer will be slim , because other teams will be intrested to and if a team like Real comes in he will more likely choose them over us. Our transfer targets will also depend on weather we get a top 4 spot.

The only reason he has lasted this long is because of the money invested in him..

Not the best year. some of his performances show he has still got it then the next week he looks useless, the man has no confidence at all. what is interesting is would we still be giving another striker so many chances to improve if it wasnt for his reputation i feel we would have shipped him out this jan. i really hope he gets his act together espeically with Drogs most likely leaving at the end of the season (not to mention his age).

I cant see us getting Eden now , the rumours have fizzled out plus , we seem more intersted in KDB and Willian.

extremely poor result well and truly beaten , looks like promotion is off for me unless we improve dramatically.

Must say KDB would be a good squad palyer. ship malouda out and bring this kid in. he has somthing to prove which will give us a boost as a squad player.

His a good backup but the money he is on , he shouldnt be a back up. replace him with a young hungry player to play back up to mata , on a quater of his wage. we dont need these older players making demands they think on there name alone should get them into the team. maybe 5 years ago but now not at all.

The miss saturday topped it off for me. i really want him to suceed but i just dont see it happening.

Why is it evey mediocre defender has a blinder of a game against us. that being said i never saw us scoring we need a creative player and a goal scorer , evey time we attacked it was predictable.

im reserving judgement on that , other than you i haven’t played a decent team yet. Sinised JK are not the team they once were. just hoping im up there in the mix come the end of the season , shame there are only to spots up fro grabs

Yeah i read that somewere , who says Essien will last the rest of the season if his knee gives away again we are back to sqaure one. Also he his legs are not up to being a box to box mid anymore.

Are we bringing back the TC Sheild in future seasons or did it make the season too long ?
