Or if one certain bald referee didn't exist. this topic is stupid, because the obvious answer is no we didn't underachieve. Could things gone better? yes, but you can say that about anything in life.

or the #8, When Lampard retires.

According to stats Xavi and Iniesta are not that good.

Marvin Martin is a gem, and imo he is the closest thing to Iniesta in the world.

I think you are wrong about Sinclair.

Its a good move if he gets playing time, but Chelsea are dreadful at picking places to loan their youngsters.

He is not going anywhere this transfer window, but i think he could be available in the winter transfer window.

For Arsenal no doubt, they are getting 22m for a player on the last year of his contract. And Nasri was only good for a half of a season in his Arsenal career.

You must have seen him during the U17 world cup, he is more of a second striker then a winger. The reason why he was playing out of position was to ensure that Adryan and Piazon were on the pitch. Piazon is intesting prospect, i think he will play in midfield once he comes to europe. But atm he doesn't have a position. His playing style is kinda similar to McEachran, they play different positions but their game is kinda similar.

I don't like PVA as winger, he wouldn't reach his potential there. But at LB i can definitely see PVA becoming one of the best at his position. Bertrand is a good player, but PVA has a a lot higher celling. Also AVB prefers attacking fullbacks. btw Mancienne wasn't good enough for Chelsea, it was the best interest of both parties to move on.

I agree it seems like PVA is ahead of him.

we should play him as a CAM, because it is quite obvious that is his best position.

Didn't Mancini mention they are looking for a midfielder?

I think he is more likely to end up at City. Great player but he is not worth the transfer fee + wages that Inter and Sneijder will ask for.

I am more of admirer of attacking fullbacks, this is why i prefer PVA. No doubt Bertrand is better defensively, but thing is attacking fullbacks are more needed in modern football.

But PVA is the better player and more likely to end up as Cole successor.

Gotze is an amazing player one of my favorite youngsters in the world. The kid has a higher ceiling then Ozil, and i rate Ozil very highly. Sadly i can't see Chelsea going after him, but if they do Chelsea midfield would be set for the next ten years with Gotze and McEachran. Christian Eriksen is another one you can add to the list of creative midfielders. Big mistake by Chelsea to turn him down when he was 16.

he has missed a lot of games over the past three years, he is not Robben like but more similar to RVP.

Why? crazy salary demand and very fragile player who will miss plenty of games.

Paying 35-40m for Modric seems more desperate imo.

Van Aanholt or Bertrand would do the job.

I would take Paulo over Bosingwa any day of the week. Bosingwa has a higher sales value because he is younger, so i would definitely sell him.

wtf??

Why do you think Anelka and Kalou are ahead of him? AVB has given no such indication from my understanding, based on preseason Sturridge has looked much better then Anelka and Kalou.

You are calling Benayoun Carlo best signing based on what exactly? preseason against piss poor competition maybe?
