  1. We've been hearing for months how Danny wants to quit due to lack of playing time and being played out wide when he does play. What makes absolutely no sense is that not a single destination mentioned by the dimwit journos would take care of these supposed grievances. Citeh- take a number, they are beyond spoiled for choice at CF and SS/AM in their 4-2-3-1 Liverpool and Le Arse- He would have to play a wide role in Rodgers 4-3-3 or Whinger's 4 2 3 1 The only destination that would make any sense, cringe, would be Spuds. And if they want him, it's going to cost them a king's ransom.
  2. I would absolutely love it if we came in and easily surpassed Le Arse's offer of £12m. This seems like quite a low offer, and Giroud is worth more. Heaven knows we would offer better wages.
  3. Elia just isn't good enough to start on a semi-regular basis. Maybe a signing for some depth, but I still don't think he's up to snuff. Sessegnon struggled mightily in a wide role. It wasn't until he was put in a central role that he truly began to shine.
  4. Makes me look back on his time at Spuds. Hopefully, now we won't have to listen to him talk about how every player is a "fantastic player." One of my favorite comments from him was when they acquired Saha. He said that Rio Ferdinand told him that Saha was the best forward he ever played against.
  5. True, but he shouldn't have tried to round Buffon. However, I don't think he was that bad. The media and some fans are scared to death that he regains some semblance of form because they'll no longer have a whipping boy. Especially the media. I have said it before, and I'll say it again: Most journos think Nando should score every time he touches the ball. That's not an exaggeration.
  6. It's not just the amount of the transfer fee, it's the club that would receive it.
  7. Apparently, according to the Sun (so who knows the veracity of this claim considering the source), KDB is to be loaned the Southampton for the coming season. I would like to see him loaned to a better side than a newly promoted club, but getting playing time in the PL is what matters most at this stage of his career.
  8. Jose Bosingwa was Gregory Van der Wiel before Gregory Van der Wiel was Gregory Van der Wiel. Much rather have Isla or Azpilicueta, in that order.
  9. So let me make sure I'm clear on this: We scouted a player for years, who in turn became the most desirable player on the transfer market. Only after everybody and their brother started talking about him, the Manc clubs started to sniff around. Then we actually signed him. Who are these people and what have they done with Chelsea's board?
  10. I'm a big fan of Dembele. He's very versatile, strong in the tackle, a great passer, and can dribble. He'd be a cheaper and better alternative to Fellaini imo.
  11. You realize, by feeding the troll, he's probably having a good laugh with his fellow Tims in the dole queue about how he wound up the lot of you.
  12. All bias aside, we really make the most sense for him as far as wages, playing time, transfer fee, etc. Hopefully these rumors come to fruition.
  13. Very bittersweet. Drogs was the most complete center forward of his era. No one had his combination of pace, technical ability, brute strength, and aerial prowess (both in attack and defense). The numerous moments of sheer elation he gave myself and many others whilst watching him in Chelsea Blue are something that shall always be treasured.
  14. He was immense in the CL and most of the second half of the season. It as if he woke up one day and said, "Oh yeah, now I remember who I am. I'm the best left back in the world."
  15. I agree with you generally. However, that was a soft pen on Ribery. If the ref applied the same criteria, a pen should've called for Boateng's contact on Nando. But yes, by and large good refereeing throughout the final and the tournament.
  16. After Drogs conceded the pen in extra time, DL walked up to him and simply said, "Believe." And that, boys and girls, lads and lasses is why I love me some David Luiz.
  17. I am going back and forth between elation and disbelief. This is beyond wonderful.
  18. So can you give me the winning lottery numbers for next week? Thanks in advance.

  20. At the minimum, I want us to stay in this game until the final whistle. Give 'em a run for their money.
  21. That's why I said this scenario was "doubtful".
  22. I would laugh my nuts off all this transfer talk was an elaborate scheme by Hazard and his agent to get a better contract at Lille. Doubtful, but it would still be pretty damn funny.
