We might actually have a similar situation to the one we encountered 10 years ago, during a post-season game in Japan ( If I remember well ), we played with the 2004-2005 kits but included the new sponsor logo ( Samsung in fact ).

Don't want him in my team, awful level in the last couple of years, king of tap-ins, we have a 10 times better player in Hazard ( who's 6 years younger and won't cost a fortune since he's ours ). Plus, all the hype with the stats will disappear when Messi takes his foot off the accelerator, and people will recognize players with their playing level more than goals, like the old good times. If even Real Madrid with all the players they have got and him in the team can't do better than us in the last 5 years ( as we were really poor at times... ) then we don't need him.

So the reason you're actually posting this brutal honesty and unadulterated posts on the forum is just to avoid "riding the wave" ? Are your blue brothers chelsea fans too mainstream for you ? I admit, I don't know you, not even your posts here before the mourinho moaning since I didn't visit a lote, but you still haven't answered the genuine question posted a bit earlier, why do you support Chelsea ? How people love Chelsea and hate Mourinho at the same time is beyond me, it's like supporting Araenal and expecting to win, just impossible stuff dude.

In fact, It wasn't intended to be an insult, people here have no problem presenting arguments to defend their opinions, but some of your posts are filled with so much hate that I can't even... Whatever.

It's been a while since I seen him on pictures & videos btw !

Pretty obvious for the SouthAm guys since their national teams would be outraged by the prospect of seeing their pivotal players take part in totally useless post season games just about two weeks before the start of the big continental competition. Oscar, Ramires, Zouma and DD weren't playing anyway since they're all injured.

In fact I have come to expect only moaning posts from him, whenever i see his pseudo i know what's coming. Actually lionsden, when was the last time you actually said something nice about Chelsea/Mourinho/Costa/OurPlayers ? That's a sincere question, because i can't recall.

Go support Pellegrini then.

I don't think it was hard to see the sarcasm in his post. Whenever someone says something outrageous and then starts the second part with something like "seriously", it's obvious.

Last season we didn't have community shield, and we didn't play twice in the week before Burnley. This year, we do play the CS, and it's a much better contest to prepare a season than the Fiorentina game.

No real conclusions to get from the game. Well, aside from the RLC bashing here, this is gold, the guy has barely played 130 minutes with us at 19y/old. I'm keeping some of the messages for the future btw. WE KNOW WHO WE ARE !!

That's what i feared the most, what would that Fiorentina game serve for anyway ? Had it been just before the CS, maybe, but in between the CS and the Premier League is totally useless.

What the actual fuck. Willian's best games have been as a number 10 and 11 ( Shakhtar and this end of season ), RW is his worst position and i thought it was pretty established since it's amazingly obvious. It's amazing how media can affect people's judgements, gen an opinion yourselves ffs.

Some style comparisons here are hilarious. Thomas Muller, Eto'o, Salah. Seriously. I'm not answering this, you guys surely never watched Griezmann playing.

Well it's never too late then. If we all at TC vote every day, it would be very likely

So there is the Players' and Writers' award, both won by Eden. But there is also the Fans' award, you can vote here : http://fanawards.90min.com/ I created this topic to encourage you all to vote for our guys, I'm going with JT, Eden has already won the other two, if we can make a difference by voting for JT and thus giving him a well deserved recognition it would be terrific, especially that you can vote multiple times, everyday.

Barcelona seem really close to signing him in fact. But anyway, the whole Inter team has been poor this season so...

Why isn't anyone talking about him ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNOf7wY1gXM I know about the Youtube cliché, but if he is really this good, I'm already imagining the damage we'd cause with him next to Willian and Hazard. Unfortunately, no rumours for now.

It's easy to ask for another video of that kind in Chelsea when he has NEVER played in that position with us, which is his natural one, when he came we bought him as a number 10. And BTW, that's not just a "good day", that's two videos, and if you watch the second you have way more games. Saying he didn't get an offer near his value contract is rubbish, he has never wanted to leave, he's a proper Chelsea, and in 10/11 he was the one holding the whole midfield, when he wasn't there we had an awful loss of balance. And that season btw, he had the best pass ratio with the most passes completed ( just ahead of Carrick ), before you say they are all backpasses, here are videos that show to you he can do passes to the front too. If you wanna keep smashing him just because it's the general trend in TC, fair enough, but open your eyes, and see what this guy can do.

Are you fucking kidding me ? Fabregas Hazard and Willian are on the pitch and it is Mikel who is supposed to pull the strings ? It's his fault that we weren't amazing offensively against Crystal Palace ? Ridiculous, I'm not even answering to that.

But Reus isn't good on RW, he plays at the left.

You do realize the videos are from 2014 ?

HAHAHAHAHAHAH Urban legend states that mikel can't make a pass forward. Again, he has never been used in his right position at CFC. Here is what Mikel can do as a number 10, he litterally outplayed Xavi Iniesta & Busquets alone This is what happens when he is given full freedom rather than covering the Midfielders ( which he had to because of no proper 6 after Maka )

Hope he gets a couple against Crystal Palace, that'd move him closer.

Anyway, I'm predicting a proper thrashing of Crystal Palace on Sunday. Also, after we seal the title, we will surely play way more attacking football against Liverpool, that game is going to be one to watch, especially if we put in guys like RLC, Luis, Zouma.
