makes sense. otherwise we might have been in some bother for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 monitoring period.

there are posters like viper and then there are posters like u!!! u know what, i have already got a warning, so dont wanna get another talking to people like u.

-49.4mil - 2012-13 1.4mil - 2011-12 18.4mil - 2013-14 whats our fascination with this .4??? anyways for the upcoming "monitoring period" 2012-15, we have a loss of 30mil pounds so far considering 2012-13 and 2013-14. considering the exemptions, which are 5mil per year (i think) on youth development, we still have a loss of 20mil pounds which is around 25.5 euros. the maximum loss can be 30 mil euros for this monitoring period. but the sales of luiz, lukaku will be included in the 2014-15 thing (and so far we have a net spend of 0 this season, compared to about 60mil pounds last season), we will easily clear this monitoring period too. great work by the board. absolutely awesome. COME ON CHELSEA!!!

we had a striker who scored 15+ goals for wba. the idiot shot himself in the foot.

fifa has rejected their appeal but now they have appealed to CAS, i think

what i think has happened is that schurlle's current rut of form has made this decision very easy for people. suddenly he has become this poor, good for nothing player. people forget how good he is and the quality he himself brings to the team. and hence people feel that the gap he would leave will be easily filled this season. in all honesty, salah, remy and a 36 year old DD are mid table PL quality players. to say baker, solanke and brown are mid table players is a massive massive exaggeration. if we cant sign him in the summer and risk losing him or we cant get a pre-agreement, then obviously we should buy him. all my arguments are considering the fact that we CAN sign him in the summer.

You should have started with that. Would have saved us a lot of time and discussion.Also, you have to chase a 2 goal deficit and have 90 minutes, that neans simply putting in 2/3 strikers. I am out.

psg, chasing the game at 3-1. U want to start with mikel, rambo and matic at the bridge? And if I remember correctly, at the bridge, we have started with 3 proper AMs against every time. So this park the bus jargon means nothing.

huh? lets suppose ONLY willian gets injured. oscar and rambo are fit as a fiddle. our team costa hazard cesc oscar matic rambo bench - remy, salah. and this is with ONLY 1 player injured. not 3. we have nothing to change the game with. unless we want to rely on putting in a 36 year old DD and pinting balls up to him, which is exactly what we will HAVE to do. thats how thin we get without schurrle. god forbid if even one more player gets injured. and then there is FORM. cesc is notoriously known for going awol towards the end of the season. oscar has been poor in his both the seasons with us towards the end. we have no options in that case. no depth. and my arguments are for delaying the acquisition of a world class player by 6 months, not agianst buying him. and thats a big difference.

and now tell me what signings city did last season? or united did in the season SAF left? or jose did in 2004-05 and 2005-06. united had a glaring lack of midfielders. they had a good dm in carrick, an aging and close to retirement scholes, a flabby anderson, an injured fletcher and lord cleverly as their options. they continously played gigs thru the center. pool were and still playing gerrard as a DM. the examples u have given are for squads which CLEARLY and definitely lacked in quality in the said positions. how does having AMs like oscar, hazard, willian and schurrle with cesc and rambo who can put in a shift if required compare to having a right back like johnson, left back like flanagan and a CB like kolo toure. these are all very different situations and scenarios dude. i dont know what happened to newcastle in 95 cos i was 3 years old then, but i the example of united and pool that u have given simply dont sit well with our conditions. the only reason we lose the PL this season is complacency. now, i am confident that we will win the league, maybe that can transcend into complacency on my part but knowing jose and his work ethic, i am pretty sure, he and the team will not be complacent until the league is done for sure.

thank u lord moyes!!! thank u. 10 mil for salah, and simply call back moses.

what are our chances of winning the PL without reus? by what percentage does getting reus right now improve our those chances. keep in mind that this is a winter transfer. people take time to acclimitize. even the best players in the world take time. how does that small percent improvement in chances in our winning the PL (for which we alreadr are the favourites), negate the total drop in our winning the CL cos we had to play salah against bayern munich cos of no depth in AM department.

so these are same situations? we have hazard, oscar and willian as first teamers and schurrle as back up. last season we had rambo, a 36 year old lamps and mikel as our only CM/DM options. matic was a necessity. reus is not. matic was a MUST buy who replaced essien in the squad who anyways would not have had any role in our CL campaign. 2 completely different things and scenarios. also if you read all my comments properly, i have never said, we should not buy him. but our first preference should be to buy him in the summer. get a pre-agreement. if not possible, then go all in.

to be honest, the highly ranked youth player seems to be nathan ake. Very suprised that baker is not on the list.

2004-05 : jarosik 2005-06 : maniche (on loan) 2006-07 : none 2010-11 :adebayor (loan) 2011-12 : none 2012-13 : diego lopez 2013-14 : matic and salah so jose does not really like winter signings, which is what really suprises me with people saying pique and reus and khedira and god knows who will join us. last season's matic signing was essential for the development of the team and salah was a forced buy since we sold mata and kdb. except for that, i would say only lopez was a high profile buy and that was mainly due to casillas' terrible form.

LOL

WE CAN HAVE A PRE-AGREEMENT ABOUT REUS-SCHURRLE SWAP IN THE WINTER ABOUT THEIR TRANSFERS IN THE NEXT SUMMER WINDOW. how difficult is that to happen. if reus wants to come to chelsea now, he can surely wait for 6 more months and start what he finished with chelsea. my love for schurrle is NOTHING. he is a chelsea player who can help us a lot. its your fascination for reus and having a perfect team which is totally blinding u. also, i know what league it is. its not MLS too or the ASL. u dont need to tell me about that. if we are going to drop points, so will the others. the point still remains, we will walk the league with or without reus!!! so whats the use of him, now??? here is another solution which viper put in I'm too lazy to find it but I think whoever suggested that if we signed him in a swap deal (Schurrle + cash for him) and then both players got loaned back to their respective clubs is on to a winner I think. That way BVB have been able to choose who to sell to (as the release clause isn't in effect yet) rather than letting Bayern have even a chance of luring Reus to their club but they also get to keep him until the end of the season (especially useful for their CL campaign). Not a problem for us either as we keep Schurrle as back up for our CL campaign also and know that we have a massive upgrade in Reus coming imminently. That way the transfer is finalised well before it happens, so both teams can begin to prepare for life with/without their respective players. Could very much see this happening. not bad at all. but for the last time, going into the main rounds with 3 proper AMs, is NOT the solution. actually very simple to understand it.

but the article says that fifa will make a decision before the transfer window about the appeal. "CAS says it will give a fast-track verdict before the transfer window opens in January." so, i think, as of now the ban stands.

also, i simply dont get the fascination of reus in the WINTER. he is NOT making us stronger. we are more than capable of winning the PL without reus as we are showing. by jan, we will be (hopefully) out of sight of the chasing pack. so its basically reus for FA cups and PL dead rubbers? instead, if we buy him in summer, he gets time to acclimitize (something which is always a problem with most of the winter signings). plus we strengthen our squad without sacrificing anything.

again? i dont think so dude. http://news.yahoo.com/barcelona-gets-date-fifa-transfer-ban-appeal-133428245.html

tell me what salah has done playing FOR us rather than against us. ultimately, we are down to makeshift RW in rambo and remy with absolutely no bench strength against teams like RM and bayern (oh wait, u think salah is the egyptian messi, ). also, schurrle started in the super cup match against bayern and played wonderfully. schurrle played a massive role against PSG, so ya, i definitely see schurrle being used against the like of madrid and barca. also, in all those cases, our bench options are remy and salah, against the likes of madrid, bayern etc etc... very ideal. i would love the scenario of us needing a goal at stamford bridge, and bringing in salah, would fill me with so much confidence. also in all these scenarios, we have 4 constant players (costa, rambo, matic, cesc) with no leeway whatsoever in that. last season during the QFs and SFs, we had etoo injured, hazard injured, oscar in a rut. yet we are willing to sacrifice schurrle and go into the main phase of CL.

a genuine question are not barca banned from transfer activities for a year? or is it that they can not buy players but sell them!!!

are u having some problem understanding english? its very simple? first of all, schurrle is a very good player. the only reason people are jumping on his back are cos he has been in a rut. the schurrle which played for germany in world cup is a quality player. something which you obviously dont think so,, so that tells me something about u. and the fact that u would use salah before schurrle. :lol: thats just hilarious. also, us buying matic had nothing to do with our CL campaign. matic was a player who was brought to strengthen the overall team and be the spine of the team in coming years, which is proving to be the difference. who did we sell to buy an matic, essien? u think essien would have made ANY difference to our CL campaign last year. the fact that you equated the matic acquisition to the reus-schurrle situation tells me that u r absolutely clueless and have next to no clue of what i am even saying. lastly "btw, I would rather have Ramires play as a RW against quality teams in CL than Schurrle, Schurrle is medicore in attack and horrible in defense. and also at this form, I would use salah before schurrle too, also Remy can play as a RW." sure dude. i mean ya... great.

have not heard that interview. could not find it either. can you post a link.

We plau 3 at the front away from home. At home, we play with 4 in the front. Also my assumption is not that willian will get injured but that any of the 3 (willian/hazard/oscqr) might get injured. So tell me what exactly had happened against PSG last year? That's right, hazard got injured, we were chasing a 3-1 deficit and needed quality upfront which schurrle and his goal provided. So u see, its really not that unrealistic. Infact, the scenario has already happened. Also, rambo is used as a RW when we need to be conservative. He is not used as an out an out attacking midfielder. He is not an opt option in the case we are chasing a gane.
