Willian Borges da Silva – My Evalation Position: Willian can play anywhere upfront. His original position was CAM or SS, but he was transformed into LM while playing in Shakhtar. Why midfielder and not a winger? Because Shakhtar plays mostly 4-2-2 formation, so they »wingers« play a little bit deeper than ours. His current best position is LM/LAM/LW, because he can cut into his right foot. He can play as a good CAM really good, but you won't exploit his amazing pace playing him there. I think he would do all right on right side too, but that should be really in the case, if all our players are injured, because of his weak left foot. Dribbling: His dribbling ability is really impressive, but he can be big-headed sometimes and hold a ball too long or go to confidently in dribble. For FIFA fans, he would definetly have 5 star skill moves in the game. 4/5 Ball control: His first touch is classy, he can provide good pass even uder pressure. You will rarely see him making mistake in stopping the ball. 5/5 Passing: Willian is creative player. His passes on the ground and through balls are great. But I'm afraid, that his passes over the top and crosses are solid at maximum. 4/5 Shooting: His shooting is really inconsistent. It seems like hej ust kicks the ball and hopes for the best. Sometimes he scores, and even often he doesn't. He tries a lot with shots from distance. I think his problem lies in finishing. He is nothing special at free kicks and penalites. 3/5 Tackling: He sometimes returns to the defence and tries to help his team-mates, but to be fair he isn't much of tackler and physically strong. But he deserves appreciation for helping in defence too. 2/5 Heading: He is only 5'8'' tall, so don't expect him to jump in the air. You won't find him in penalty box, while having a corner. 2/5 Physical abilites: His pace, agility and acceleration is really top class, he will cause many problems for opostion's full-backs, while playing on the wing. Balance and strenght of course aren't the best, but he doesn't need this while playing in attack. His stamina is all right and he can easily handle 90 minutes of the match. 4/5 Mental abilites: Composed, concentrated, decisive, talented team player. 4/5 Price: We could have him for £24 million and I think that's fair price, because Shakhtar bought him for a lot money from Brasil and he's best player in Ukrainian league at the moment. Also, this signing doesn't mean that we won't move for Hazard or Lucas in summer. 4/5 Transfer judgement: 3,5/5

Oh, calm down a little bit. I think your 1000th post shouldn't be this one.

Just a comment from YouTube: Willian? Willian is fucking terrible. I've seen him play and Willian only got PACE. He is similar to Walcott. He does not know what to do when the opposition denies space. He is a headless chicken that can run very fast. Instead of focussing on an idiot like Willian we should get a creative and explosive genius like Hazard or Götze. Those are real talents. Not some overrated shitty Brazillian boy who can only run fast in the 100m.

Sky Sports News by me

If I trust in something in AVB, it's definetly his transfers. I beleve there's something special about him.

Nice, as always.

Isn't he CAM?

Ah, if that's true... screw it.

Both of them.

My bad, sorry. Please move it to that thread.

This. But maybe, AVB just wants to release media's attention to Chelsea. AVB will go on another plane from Mallorca to Lille and than quietly sign Hazard. Just me being optimistic.

Jeffrey Ntuka, a former Chelsea defender and most recently a member of SuperSport United, was stabbed to death in a nightclub in Kroonstad township South Africa, according to BBC. A South African native, Ntuka captained the South Africa Under-23 team and also appeared in five games for the South African national team. Ntuka played as a reserve for Chelsea 2003 for six months before being loaned out to K.V.C Westerlo where he earned 93 caps in parts of seven seasons. After returning to Chelsea for two months, Ntuka signed with Kaiser Chiefs FC of the Premier Soccer League before moving on to SuperSport United. Ntuka battled some of his own personal demons during his time as a player including alcoholism, but representative Michael Hughes from Ntuka's agency Stella Africa said Ntuka worked hard to change his image. Ntuka's contract with SuperSport United expired following the 2010-11 season and he was looking to catch on with another team prior to his untimely death. Ntuka was just 26 years old when the fatal stabbing occurred on Saturday morning, so he likely had plenty of good soccer left in him. The unfortunate death certainly brings into question how safe players are off the pitch, especially when it comes to volatile situations such as those that can be found in a nightclub. It's a fact of life that athletes are often targeted, and that may have been the case with Ntuka. While Ntuka wasn't employed by a team at the time of his death, players are probably best off surrounding themselves with teammates in those types of venues. There hasn't yet been any word on who Ntuka was with or how the situation escalated, but hopefully this prompts players to take precautions moving forward. REST IN PEACE

Chelsea keep close eye on £25m target Edin Hazard CHELSEA are keeping a close eye on £25million transfer target Eden Hazard . Blues technical director Michael Emenalo was in Marseille last week to watch Hazard play for Lille – fuelling speculation that the Belgian play-maker could be heading for Stamford Bridge before the January window closes. Emenalo’s trip to France is a clear sign that boss Andre Villas-Boas is stepping up his pursuit of the 21-year-old, who is also being courted by Manchester United and Arsenal as well as Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid. Villas-Boas would prefer to land the youngster now rather than risk the scramble of an auction in the summer. Spurs boss Harry Redknapp sat a few feet away from Emenalo but his target is Loic Remy rather than Hazard. The Marseille striker said this week he intended to stay in France at least until the end of the season.

De Bruyne can be maximum at the level of Antonio Valencia. Hazard can reach Arjen Robben.

We don't need any new signings, we're great team... a point against team like Norwich is big succes for us... We will sign new contract with Malouda and Bosingwa for 5 next years, I hope they'll accept it. Fuck you AVB.

That would be me!

C'mon Blues! :cfc:

Frank Lampard, his all round ability is great and had it not been for Steven Gerrard, he would’ve been possibly the best English midfielder the Premiership has ever seen IMO.

Terry and Cahill already played in national team, so I believe they're both ready to start together. What a big man! Helping a fan and than hugging him!

Best idea I heard for a while. I think everyone agrees it would be unfair for smaller clubs, if big clubs would just put their youngsters in their league. Abramovich should just buy club which is in financial difficulity and sign partnership agreement with it. But I really don't know if it should be English club? If it can be, maybe Darlinghton or Portsmouth?

He's always smiling, what a person!

That reminds me to Mourinho a litttle It's good.
