We must use the craziness of Anzhi.

The fuck? Ferreira is better than Bosingwa, but couldn't they get Ivanović fit? Also completely un-creative midfield - Meireiles, Mikel, Kalou? Someone smoked really good shit before the game.

Thanks to everyone again and welcome Kieran!

Hiddink? Anyone?

A new name to the Chelsea watch list, but a relevant one nonetheless. The American-born striker has plied his trade for Villareal since 2007 and been their star ever since. However, with the club facing more financial peril, they could be forced to sell off their biggest asset to generate some cash. Rossi would be an excellent addition to the club, bringing the pace and fervor the fans seem to call for. He also has Premier League experience, spending two years with Manchester United, where he had four goals and four assists in 14 matches. The rate for the 25-year-old has been set at €20 million, but it could ascend, as both AC Milan and Juventus are interested in him.

Abramovich has always favored dishing out to bring in some of the game’s best African players, and he may do so again with Tiote. The Ivorian midfielder would find himself at home with fellow countrymen Drogba and Solomon Kalou and also provide some depth to a depleted center third. He has been an exceptional player for Newcastle this season, and his rate of £67,000 per week makes him one of the team’s highest paid players. However, Abramovich would have little trouble increasing that on team where the bench averages that sum. Reports are that the Blues will be looking to offer Toon in the neighborhood of £20 million for the 25-year-old. That and the prospect of European football could be enough to entice him to force the move.

The Porto winger has been linked with the club since the summer and is expected to follow Andre Villas-Boas to Stamford Bridge. However, his astronomical release clause of £85 million was far too much for even the deep pockets of Abramovich. That may all now change, as Porto are now rumored to be let up on that number and could let him go for significantly less after the star has requested a move to England. It would still, of course, cost a large sum, likely breaking Fernando Torres’ fee, but they may be willing to go all in to get the kind of width the club has lacked. Wing play seems to be the future of the team, and without a natural winger, they have really struggled.

Chelsea may not have to look outside of the league to find a competent forward. They have one nipping at their heels right now. Demba Ba is having a breakout year at Newcastle. The Sengal international has bettered any Chelsea player with 16 goals in the league, and at 26 years old, offers a potential replacement to the ever-aging Didier Drogba. Ba has been rumored to be around a value of £7 million, a bargain considering his pure poaching abilities. Chelsea are in desperate need of a forward who can simply find the net. However, Ba has dismissed any intentions of leaving Tyneside: "I am happy with Newcastle, and I enjoy being here and playing for the Toon Army. I enjoy being on this team." While Ba may be saying all the right things now, it could be difficult to ignore the kind of money that could be coming his way in a move to the south. It also could be Chelsea’s best bargain given the immediate need they have for a goal scorer.

The Lille winger is one of the most highly touted youngsters on the market. He has developed into one of Ligue 1 top players, and at only 21 years old, taking Lille back to the top of French football. Chelsea are rumored to be in direct competition for the player with the very same team they are battling out for fourth place, Spurs. With a £34 million release clause, Chelsea holds the slight advantage in terms of finances, as Tottenham has never been a big-spending club. But it may come down to which team will qualify for Europe next year. As it stands now, Lille is comfortably placed in the last Champions League spot in France, making it all the more important Chelsea finish fourth or better.

Following the first leg of Napoli’s Champions League tie against Chelsea, Cavani probably felt that the idea of leaving the Italian club for his opponents was absurd. But after being silenced in one of the biggest comebacks in Champions League history, he could be rethinking that thought. According to The Daily Mail, Chelsea are ready to launch a bid for the striker who has been valued at roughly £30 million. A steep price, but not out of the realm of possibility for the loose wallet of Roman Abramovich. Right now, neither club is going to be in Europe’s top competition next year, but Napoli is a bit closer to that spot. Should neither make it, though, there is a good chance he will take the money and glory that comes with playing in the EPL.

Sorry, but it is not my rule...

I didn't mean this thread. I meant another and because posts were moved, it looked like I meant this one.

I will close this thread for now. If any member of moderation team thinks it should be opened again, do it.

He would rebith himself while playing in Chelsea FC. He is created for Premier Leauge, should not miss this one, if it is true of course.

I see your point. What about starting Fernando on the wing intstead of Daniel?

Done.

Welcome mate! If you need any help, feel free to ask me. :cfc:

Thanks everyone!

Yes that's it. I used word "pray" as a metaphor for something good you wish to someone and not as act. I didn't mean we have to go to churches or kneel and pray in front Bible.

The most kind, talented, beautiful, smart and sexy person has became a moderator. I'm moderator since yesterday... Enough off-topic.

We will stop it right now. Religious debates will not be tolerated on this forum, so go to another forum and debate about this subject there. Everyone can choose, wheter he will or will not believe in God. It is human's right. Isn't it important that we all wish Muamba speedy recovery? Wheter we say "I will pray for him" or "Wish him (Muamba) all the best", don't we mean the same thing? You are being really pathetic with this kind of posts over here. If you are not religious just ignore it, same goes in the other way too. If someone starts debate about religion again, I will not tolerate it.

Fabrice Muamba collapses on pitch during FA Cup match Tottenham's FA Cup game against Bolton Wanderers has been abandoned after Trotters midfielder Fabrice Muamba collapsed and stopped breathing. Medics spent 10 minutes trying to resuscitate the 23-year-old on the field before the players were taken off by referee Howard Webb. BBC Radio 5 live senior football reporter Ian Dennis says the English midfielder is fighting for his life. The score was 1-1 when he collapsed with no players close-by on 41 minutes. Medical staff gave Muamba mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and tried to revive him with a defibrillator. In total six medics were treating the player. Both sets of supporters chanted Muamba's name as he was taken off the pitch on a stretcher. ESPN reported that he was not breathing as he was taken down the tunnel. The former Arsenal midfielder has been taken to hospital, accompanied by manager Owen Coyle and club captain Kevin Davies. A Bolton spokesman said: "Fabrice Muamba has been taken to hospital following his collapse. There is no further information at this time." Referee Webb called the visibly shaken players off the field after consulting with Coyle and Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp. Minutes later the match was abandoned. Soon after the incident, messages of support flooded in for the former Arsenal man. Spurs player Rafael van der Vaart was one of the players on the pitch when Muamba collapsed. He tweeted: "Terrible what happened with Muamba during the game. We're all praying for him." England international Jack Wilshere, who played with Muamba at Bolton, tweeted: "Hope Muamba is okay. Thoughts with him." Middlesbrough defender Justin Hoyte, who played in the Arsenal youth team with Muamba, said: "I seriously hope my best friend in football is OK. Stay strong bro [sic] please please stay strong. God is with you remember that." PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor said: "At the moment we are all watching, waiting, hoping and praying. For all the football family it's a terrible thing to see. "We just hope it's not going to be a situation like that of Marc-Vivian Foe. "This can happen on a pitch and one of the reasons why we insist all youngsters coming into the game have the ability to have heart screenings to avoid this happening." Muamba joined Wanderers from Birmingham City in 2008 and has made 130 league appearances for the club.

My translation: I dedicated my goal in 105th minute to on of the best forwards of all time. I devoted that "7" to Andriy Shevchenko. I said that I will include him in my celebration, if I score goal and luckily I scored. I will never forget what Andriy did for me and how he helped me, when I came to London. I didn't understand English really good, so he explained what team expect me on and off the field. I will appreciate him for this. Sheva is one of the most important persons in my career.
