I thought he was exceptional in the CL final, could definitely do with that kind of pace and energy.

"We shouldn't fear Man City, they have an ageing squad" - TalkChelsea circa early 2015

If we play the same team there is no way we'll win at Goodison. Should drop Costa and maybe even play with two strikers in Falcao and Remy, Costa is too one-dimensional and easy to mark for defenders. An attacking midfield of Pedro-Hazard-Kenedy would be perfect. We have the players to get a good result, Jose shouldn't be so stubborn. I wouldn't be surprised if at this rate even Ivanovic himself thought "I'm so shit and he keeps picking me wtf lol". This team is in serious need of some refreshing.

Let's face it, Costa is like that guy who pretends he's a badass but in reality he's just a wimp. I bet he'd have his teeth knocked out in a proper fight. It all looks so fake and forced each time he pretends he's 'pissed'. The sooner he drops this embarrassing behavior the better.

Said this on another thread, he probably just craved that one Premier League title. He doesn't seem to care anymore.

We've conceded nine goals in just four games this season, and we earned a grand total of zero points in two of those games. I say it's not bad, it's alarming.

Wow, what an embarrassment. I look forward to the day Ivanovic is dropped from this team. Willian is so terrible it's making my blood boil. It looks like that one Premier League title is all Fabregas wanted, because he does fuck all now. What has happened to this team.

Yes because Willian is so creative amirite.

Lmao, Oscar is Zidane compared to Willian. Heck, at this rate I'd rather even have Paulo Ferreira.

This is the most boring game I have ever seen.

Yeah whatever, because he was the best player there doesn't mean he'll be anything extraordinary here. People and especially football fans are overrating him massively, he's worth 80million just because his name is De Bruyne and City are after him. He's too mainstream now. I wouldn't even be excited if we got him honestly.

Never been impressed by him, not too worried. He's had one okay Bundesliga season and now he's suddenly like one of the best AMs ever ermahgerd.

Well I didn't think we were considering guys like Ivanovic or Mikel, do they even have a future here? Not one Chelsea fan would want to have this Ivanovic or Mikel in their best XI, even as VC. + Azpi ahead of Ivanovic as captain? This would never happen.

It's not so much as wanting a liability to lead our team as it is a result of lack of options. If not Fabregas, then who? Azpi has been mentioned, but who else? Cahill? Matic doesn't strike me as captain material, and neither do any of our wingers/attacking players. Costa is a madman. So yeah, going with the most experienced Premier League player seems logical.

This is probably just Chelsea fans trolling and messing up with their polls. I like it.

Fabregas as Chelsea captain, who would have thought? It's pretty surreal actually. But yeah, he seems like the most reasonable choice.

Who?

Mods should have put DiCaprio somewhere in the title, just for the lulz.

I like how some people here once said City wouldn't be a real threat because they have an ageing squad.

I used to think Liverpool, but I don't know. Arsenal fans make theirs seem like the best on the planet, which is quite a feat in itself. I truly think Arsenal have the worst set of fans I've ever seen.

That was a masterpiece of time wasting if there ever was one.

Cool, other than the away game at Leicester last season, would you please remind me of the last time he wasn't slow.

Why would anyone support Willian? He is slow, not very creative, not even in the top 5 of our team in terms of skills, he can't shoot, his passing/crossing is way below average, and to top it all off he slows down the tempo massively. Not to mention he has this grumpy/unimpressed look on his face all the time, as if it's somebody else's fault he can't finish from less than ten yards out.

LOL, did anyone seriously think he was going to be any different. One of the most pointless transfers we've made in years.

Who even cares about the Serie A anymore.
