In gutted we didn't sign him... God help us now.

It could be that we had some kind of assurances from Everton regarding Stones and that they've fucked us over in the last moment.

It was Silva and Iniesta who were making Spain play while Cesc was there to play a pass or two. Still he was good and looked much better in 3 man midfield like to guy's said above. There was a fantastic diagonal pass to Iniesta that Andres failed to hit well with his head.

ManU will sign him for 50 mil next season

All of our new players are very happy...and very happy I like his epic beard

Fully deserved. Good ratings for our team this year compared to idiocy last year.

I heard he had a go as n10. Did he play DM?

As I wrote on this post, lots of people are trying to put blame on just one or two of all the factors that influenced our bad start of the season. Hopefully this international break will let players cool off a bit, gain some more fitness and when they're back, we can get back to business asap.

My bad. Alright, go Van Ginkel!

Yeah but I'm fairly sure we've inserted a buy back option?

Of course he blocked it. We are already 1 senior CM short. Hopefully Romeu and Van Ginkel can have awesome seasons so the club brings them back and then Mikel can leave. I think that's the initial plan the club has also considering both Oriol and Marco are loaned to PL clubs.

He should celebrate. It wasn't us who developed him when he was a young player. He didn't play even 10 games for our team, so no hard feelings. I'm sad how his career here turned out Double standards there, completely agree mate.

I understand, we didn't have a great transfer window, but some people are acting like the club didn't bid for any quality player or wasn't aware of the things needed to be addressed in our team. Let's see. GK backup -> Solved RW -> Solved CM -> Tried Pogba LB -> Solved CB -> Tried Stones, Varane, Abdennour...brought a player who had 1y on his contract for cheap Some posts I've read are really really unfair towards the club, like we did an Arsenal and didn't try anyone and didn't bring anyone. And also, 2 seasons ago we've made a deal with Atletico about Costa that we will come for him next season and pay his buyout clause. Maybe we made a similar deal with Koke or we are waiting out on some other transfer targets who are not yet ready to move?

Come on mate, I understand the frustration but show some sympathy towards the club. We tried signing Stones, Varane Abdeneur and Pogba. Not the club's fault we got refused or fucked over by the players or their clubs. We were prepared to pay crazy money for Stones and Pogba, you can't ask more from the club. It seems to me Mourinho himself didn't want to bring a CM unless he felt he was a complete upgrade over our midfield. And it makes sense considering we've got 3 backup midfielders in Mikel, Rami and Ruben. Yes it's shocking we brought nobody for midfield but nobody expected us to have such a bad start. Players available in the market haven't been really good for us and I'd expect the club to give us more goodies in the next summer. Especially with Koke.

Playing a 3 man defense? We can barely defend with 4. You say it's actually 5? Hell fucking no, it will be defend, counter, score, defend for life until the end of the game. Just introduce Baba into the team, send Azpi to the opposite side, give Cesc some protection in midfield and we'll be fine.

He doesn't have to score that many goals, he can just translate it to assists 30 assists a season will do him wonders

He can secure himself big future at Chelsea considering next season Remy will probably leave and Falcao's loan will be done which would leave us with only 1 striker. Perfect for Bamford and/or Solanke to slot in.

This is the main mistake people make (and in life also). There isn't a single answer, it's a reaction to various factors. * Pressure from being champs * Higher league quality * Short pre season * Costa's fitness * Oscar's injury * Unlucky * Predictable * Scandal with medical staff * Uncertainty about player future (Oscar, Willian, Ramires, Cuadrado, Ivanovic, Remy) * bit of individual mistakes And there you have it, confidence is gone. Massive mistake fans make is trying to blame our bad results on one or two factors mentioned above. It's all of those COMBINED that are doing this to us, and time will fix most of those problems very nicely.

His wife probably destroyed him. "Eden you are not giving enough attention to me and the kids, I have sent a request to the club asking them to let you train only once a day so you could take me to exotic dinners and lunches more often. You can thank me later at dinner. Oh and I'm happy about your new hair. "

Give the lad a fucking chance, he could still surprise you. Yes we brought him for cheap, but don't forget he was on the last year of his contract. Welcome to the club buddy, good luck !

Shame on you all, you should at least say welcome to the club for a fellow Chelsea fan. I don't care about a few mills, if he's fails, not a big loss, if he turns out well, we found a jewel. Good luck son! And I really love when we sign a player who is a Chelsea fan :blue scalf:

Maybe he hasn't got the money so he's wearing the same clothes and backpack ?

Maybe we could revert to policy of having full player names? [emoji9] [emoji9]

36m pounds? Mental

I don't see it that way mate. Martinez is a plain asshole and we shouldn't stay without a CB just because he's an asshole. And Stones pursuit isn't over, JT and Cahill are over 30 so we still need more CBs. I'm only afraid that when Everton decide to sell later on they don't refuse our bid and accept other ones because our relationship has gone to hell.
