Maybe we can sneak Marko Marin in that deal On a serious note i don't think some realize what a serious statement of intent this will be.

Because it's a squad game. If we stick to one of Cavani or Lukaku next season, one long term injury to whichever one we pick will have us stuck with Ba and Rafa's blonde whore all over again. A world class forward approaching his peak (Cavani) and a young extremely talented forward (Lukaku) with a decent squad forward who could offer us 10 goals next season (Ba) is the perfect strike trio to head into next season with.

Vertonghen was a Levy signing (arrived before AVB was even appointed) just like all of them. Mananger's don't get a say in transfers at that club.

The main good Cavani's arrival will bring is hopefully the forum won't go into overdrive every time Sturridge scores for fucking Liverpool anymore.

Moses gave us what we expected Marin to give us at the start of last season. Playing an important role as a squad player.

I would be surprised if we end next season with the same formation that we start with. Jose has a habit of changing formation's just before it's about to get found out. 05/06 teams were starting to suss out our wingplay, United made up 10 points on us and were 7 behind with us still to play, so Mou decided to scrap it and unleash Drogba and Crespo together, a move which caught the whole league with their pants down and we won the league. Mourinho brought 4-3-3 to the English game in the first place, so don't be surprised if he finds a new formation from somewhere.

No were not, just because people say he is over rated doesn't mean we don't rate him. This is why people find it hard not to believe he is over-rated

Comparing Torres to Cavani is like comparing Roy Hogsdon to Mourinho. Just because we got burned by Torres don't mean it will happen again, if it was Rooney we signed then it probably would but Cavani is the best forward in world football, if we don't get him and City do we will live to regret it.

@nono, If Cavani scores goals and wins us trophies, he will quickly sell shirts also. Do you think Lampard was a shirt seller back in 2002?

Whats your (and Naples in general) opinion on the Benitez appointment?

If he tries to get into bed with Jose he will be waking up with Dermot Drummy.

What i don't understand is i don't think there is one single Chelsea fan that harbors any hope of Essien being even half the player he use to be but there is still some that have this false hope for Torres What we have to look at is neither are good enough to be first choice, so who would be a better fit as a squad player? Who earns less wages? Ba Who is less likely to sulk at being left out? Ba Who has a better attitude? Ba Who's better? Ba, only god knows how that's even debatable

I have had a think about what to do with him this season and i think what he needs is to stay here, regardless of the game time he gets, his confidence looks shot to pieces at the moment, there's no one better to get that back for him than Jose Mourinho. I read an article on Lenny Pidgely, who said despite being the 3rd choice keeper was included and made to feel part of the team as much as anyone. Im personally not giving up on Josh just yet because he has so much natural talent just needs a fair bit of fine tuning. I feel he can benefit from being part of the squad next year and getting 15-20 games under Jose, i really do.

Who remembers last year when the media were trying to portrait him as some massive egotistical cunt?

Exactly and every Madrid fan i have spoke to think Higuain's terrible, always lets you down when it matters, which is probably why he will end up at either North London club this summer, perfect match.

There's worse, apparently United fans never wanted Mourinho and Moyes was always the man for the job

Why are we hearing how Cavani will destroy Lukaku bla bla bla. Every time we are linked with a top player, this mentality of it will ruin so and so's development comes up, i remember in 2010 people didn't want Luiz and Neymar because it would reduce the gametime of Bruma and Kakuta, some i believe didn't want Oscar in because it would reduce Marin's game-time (turns out he did that for himself, in one way or another). If Cavani comes in, will he be playing every single minute of every single game? no, especially not under Jose, you saw in the back to back winning title season's how he rotates his forwards so both got fair playing time, he will do the same with these two.

Martinez is the most over rated manager in football.

Yes it's so easy to win just because you spent your right proved AVB spent nearly £80m in his sole summer with us and got sacked for taking a team who were champions 2 season's previous to 5th or when Kenny spent £80m in the same summer and finished 8th. Ofcourse money helps, but if you seriously think any half decent manager could have had the same scale of success at Inter and especially Chelsea Jose had, then i advice you to see your nearest doctor.

City are one of the most over-rated teams in the history of English football. Yes their very good and will probably be up there next season, but they haven't had that "it" factor since November 2011 and they are still constantly talked about as the best team in the league (despite finishing miles behind United last term and only 3 ahead of us). A very good team they are, but they are certainly there to be got at.

Which forum is that ??

Peace or WHS. The latter for obvious reason's and Peace because (like Madmax said quality over quantity) he always seem's to come out with what's on the tip of my tongue but i can't get the right words out his comment on the KDB thread for example.

Its embarrassing how predictable the muppets in the media are. Jose Mourinho in his Chelsea TV interview said he wants to improve players and didn't mention Mata, that means he wants to sell him Probably because he ruined the Luiz stories by mentioning his name.

Your right money should guarantee success. Wait a sec ive got Kenny Dalglish waiting on the phone.
