I feel very sorry for him but sometimes that's just the way it goes. At least Chelsea support him so life shouldn't be too hard for him, walk on, Sammy!

Fuck it.

This will be mine

I don't wanna see McEachran in the first squad until he's worked on his physique. And even if: McEachran grew up in England and knows the English league way better than Neymar does. I wouldn't pay 30m for McEachran, that price is absolutely ridiculous.

You either have to adapt your game or your physique to the Premier League. Benayoun did first. And tbh you mentioned the quite ONLY player of the Premier League who did fine over years for a top club without having a strong physique. Can't think of anybody else. Even Torres and Joe Cole had to go weight lifting...

hehe Neymar's might be even higher...

Get rid of them. We loan out idiots nowhere near Chelsea-level like Ben Sahar and Sinclair, at the same time highly talented players like Stoch. Wtf is wrong with our board, just get rid of the bad players and make way for the talented ones.

True, still I'd pick him ahead of Neymar anyday cause Aguero can start in the Premier League right now, Neymar needs to adapt to everything for about 2 years...

But he's way better, without a doubt. Much smaller risk than Neymar.

^ or

Arsenal. Injuries. Winning no cups.

lol when I read the "Nasri out for a month" headline on skysports.com I was laughing so hard

Yeah I think that's what we can expect.

After all Benayoun is a couple of weeks ahead of Ramires concerning team chemistry, tactics and all that stuff...

This is getting pretty off-topic but I gotta mention that: Kalou was a centre forward when he arrived from Feyenoord. Same with Neymar, we would use Neymar as a winger for his pace and technique. He lacks the needed physique in the Premier League to become a decent lone striker, he would actually end Kalou's career at Chelsea, I'm pretty sure of that.

Funny how suddenly nobody rates Kakuta just cause we're in contact with a Brazilian boy... So we're paying 30m for a player we actually have ourselves... We don't need him, we need a Trequartista and a physical striker right now to take some of the work off Lampard's and Drogba's shoulders.

We have Kakuta for that already, who's around 100 times better than Neymar.

And that's what I'm talking about. Chelsea seem to have Lukaku's heart already, he'd want to play for us without a doubt. He's proven himself even in the Europa League, he's younger than Neymar, he fits perfectly into our system, loves the club and is certainly cheaper than the Brazilian boy.

This is Lukaku. No shit.

Loaning players out sucks ass, I'm waiting for the board to realize that.

Ok we'll see

How about moving our stadium to actual Chelsea, leaving Fulham

Can't really see Ramires starting this. Mikel is still way ahead of him... And Kalou... hm I just hope you're wrong about that, I really don't want Kalou to start. I don't even want him to come on at some time. I'm going with Manuf's line-up.

Yeah, that's probably it. We have a huge international fanbase, even from Africa and Asia. But we have to see there are 5 Premier League clubs in London, as someone mentioned before it's harder for us to find match-going fans than for Real Madrid or Barcelona - or even Liverpool and United.

I get you, but that's kinda our problem... if we want to attract players, we have to have a big fanbase. Someone mentioned bulding a new stadium, I don't think that's necessary but IF we choose to build a new one, then we certainly have to be sure we can fill it week in week out. Why can Arsenal fill a 60'000+ stadium without having won a trophy for the last 1000 years and we can't?
