"Chelsea will now have serious firepower with Fernando Torres and Hulk to finish off chances created by Juan Mata, Hazard and Marin." like the sound of that from guardian article.. would be a dream signing. Personally one of my favourite players on the planet along with Essien
I'm with you on this one. 150.000-200.000 weekly wages are insane for a 21-year old player who has only been playing in the French league. For that money I'd honestly prefer getting Hulk (although they play on different wings but Hulk can also play in CF role)
You don't need to sign Ronaldo, Messi, Drogba or Fabregas in order it to be a excellent and worth-the-money-signing. I believe he is what we are missing. Not to pressure the guy though, he is just 23. In my eyes very good signing, £6.5m, Euros coming up and we'll have a chance to see him there aswell.
Tragedy really... Rest in peace. It's beyond me how these kinds of things can happen in world class level sports where there should be constant health monitoring.
Cavani, but that would mean we'd sell off Torres and Drogba leaves or takes lesser role, which he won't. Cavani, Sturridge and Lukaku are the only CFs we need
Result is the most important thing at the moment, I personally don't even care about the fluency or how pretty the gameplay is. Well done, could have easily been more hadn't we smashed the woodwork three or even more times I'm positive we'll progress in the Champions League, we just need to win 2-0, that's it. We rested (well, partly) some of our key players, they should be fresh.
It's not about support anymore, it's common sense. We can't win anything if we change staff like socks and Chelsea (board, players) have been very unjust to Andre Villas-Boas. Face it, he deserves more
I am truly sorry for AVB. He had players who didn't give a damn about winning games, the club nor the manager. This player power bullshit is pissing me off, enough is enough. I'll be honest, I'd be glad to see the likes of Lampard, Drogba, Bosingwa, Kalou, Mikel, Meireles, Malouda, Torres etc go, get new, fresh, hungry players in who are picked by the new manager. This decision is even more baffling than sacking of Ancelotti who won us the double. We're dealing with a case of bunch of players who don't care and can't play football at the Chelsea level anymore and board who has a quick trigger finger and blind-folds on. How come they can't see its the players who are underperforming. Sad, we need major changes now.. can't imagine if we'll miss out of Champions League places.. Keep the blue flag flying high
Just as you think it couldn't get worse.. We need to revamp the squad, it's not the manager. AC Milan had this problem - loads of veteran players who used to be best at their trade but time takes its toll. You can't be a competetive player forever, whoever you are. They brought in Ibrahimovic, Robinho, Boateng and many more players instead of sacking managers although their results were awful at times. Look at them now, on the road of grabbing consecutive Scudetto if they win the race against Juventus. New players, new era, same manager is what we need in my eyes. KTBFFH
