It does not work that way imo, how many thought Deco arriving at Barca would block Iniesta? turned out to have the complete opposite affect.

This big bench can only be a good thing to me. Whether we like it or not there is no such thing as a first choice XL anymore, fitness, injuries and different type of opponents will always get in the way of that. A big squad is key to mixing, rotating and coping with injuries during the season as we found out to horrendus cost last winter.

Just imagine if we signed Modric and Hazard we could play this line up against park the bus teams at home. -----------------Cech------------------ Bossy------Luiz-------JT--------Cole -----------Ramires/Lamps----------- ---------Modric----------Mata-------- Danny--------------------------Hazard ------------------Torres-----------------

Do what we should have done to Atletico with Aguero and Courtias, use Kakuta's loan there as a way to get Hazard, if we loan Kakuta there and that helps speed up Hazard's move to Arsenal

you live in a rich part of the world congratulations, unfortunetly not all off us can afford to spend obsense amounts of money on food alone in one day.

On a side note i hate the fact the away fans are in the Shed End. IMO they should go at the top of the East or the West Stand, like Newcastle, Barca and United do with away fans.

Not dreading the ACON this year for once. Drogba aint as vital as he was 2 years ago, Essien is out until April atleast, Mikel we should cover for and Kalou won't be missed too much either.

Funny that Torres gets branded a mercanary for wanting a better standard of football yet Joe Cole gets praised for a wise career move despite ditching the double winners for a team in europa. Have less sympathy than usual with the scousers for this one, they used this as some moral victory and we tried to warn them he was past it and not better than messi but they just would not listen

What the fuck went wrong with Del Horno? he has a reputation as a goalscoring left back and started with a header cleared of the line against the gooners then scored at white hart lane a week later i thought perfect sign of things to come here then it just fucked up, what the fuck happened haha?

Away fans are incredible however. Never forget the Old Trafford match in may, 2-0 up in the biggest game of the season yet all i could hear round Old Traffor were the Chelsea fans.

Just really want it to be confirmed now and see him unvieled.

After last season's kerfuffle i think we need as big a squad as is humanly possible.

Good thread, although if we don't get another winger i'd say keep De Brune in as Mata's understudy, he's talented and i don't see how being under Mata's wing will do any harm. Kakuta painfully needs a loan move where he is played week in week out.

I see the title headline has changed to "Juan Mata signs for Chelsea" is it comfirmed like he has proper signed?

bloody hell, 9 months early for their standards

no problem, although if fucking Hernandez scores again i might have to do some serious toungue biting

Is it me or is Alex turning into a away player? end of last season amazing at Old Trafford then dodgy the next week at home to Newcastle (despite scoring), same again amazing away to Stoke then dodgy yesterday.

yeah ill most probally be around for the United one so ill do that

by the time we go to Old Toilet im hoping for this. ---------------Cech(return)----------------- Ivan-------Luiz-----------Terry--------Cole -------------------Mikel----------------------- -----------Modric---------Ramires--------- Sturridge-------------------------------Mata --------------------Torres--------------------

Best keep them for a strong squad this season then next season ship em out and replace them

Yeah happily, think the next pair are the CL first game then Man.Utd (A), id happily do one of them PS do we use our own twitter or a talkchelsea one? EDIT: Stupid question didn't read the OP properly

IN ARSENE WE TRUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

would love too not sure my stream would work for 90 minutes tho

He is busy searching for the next Juan Mata in ligue 2

This my scouse freinds is why Torres left Liverpool
