Right, but at the moment JT's starter and judging by his performances last year and the way we set up it's likely he'll be able to play at least 1 full season on a high level. And in case of that I'd like to have an adequate option to rotate with Cesar.

Which would be absolutely wasted here at Chelsea as he'd have to protect JT, though, and couldn't get up and down the flank.

Which would mean that for Mourinho Oscar was the only #10 and therefore a nailed on starter, like I said.

"He [Mourinho, added] continued: "I told him, 'This is Chelsea. You are very young, you have Eden Hazard, you have Mata, you have Willian, you have Schurrle, and I cannot promise you that.'" Lol, seems like Mou saw Oscar as a nailed on starter from the beginning of that season. How depressing is that ffs

Lol, people be trippin' if they think 30m for Stones is too much. Welcome to the real world. The fact that our opponents are busy solving other areas of their weaknesses should have us jumping all over Stones. This summer will be the last one in which we have an open lane to sign this guy instead of fighting 2 or even 3 other English top teams next summer.

Also, that's some Sun Tzu shit right there

Of course "war" is in the book's title lmao

People even manage to fuck up my name which has a soft flow to it and doesn't even contain any "weird"/unusual letters. People are stupid.

You have no clue about football if you really think that, lol.

As of right now, Cesar is the only suitable option if we're thinking long-term. He's part of the new generation, he's been here from the beginning of this new generation, he's a starter + one of our best players, he's fighting on the pitch, he has charisma, and judging by the off-pitch pictures he's a well liked member of the team that seems to be able to bond with anyone.

That doesn't really apply to GKs. Goalies always wear #1, even in modern times with outfield players going bonkers and wearing such numbers as 77 or something. From a branding POV, having your #1 goalie wear that number would have been far more intelligent.

Well, he did spend the majority of his youth in Canada

See it this way: With the money we spent on Salah and Cuadrado we could have bought Sterling. Fucking depressing.

Glad we got him, obviously. Though, I don't understand why he'd want to go to a club where he'll sit on the bench 80% of the games in his prime.

Economics 101 isn't popular on TC.

Yeah, let's compare a transfer from 2015 with one from 2009.................

I still doubt that any of these kits is the real one.

I never claimed otherwise. Going ad absurdum at its finest.

Says the guy with the Torres avatar lmao

Cech will obviously remain a legend but he'll definitely be a tier below the likes of Terry, Drogs etc for moving to a rival.

It depends. If Remy is sold because of Falcao that'd be bad business from the get-go. However, if Remy is used more often than last season especially as a RW, seeing as we are one AM down from last year, and Falcao is actually the 3rd striker it's an okay deal for me. What makes me nervous, though, is that Falcao himself isn't an iron man which might turn out to be a big problem as Remy and Costa are known for picking up little injuries from time to time, too. Overall, I don't think Falcao is worth the risk. Get Austin instead, he'll probably be convincible to play as a 3rd striker if we show him good money, or if you wanna be riskier use Bamford.

New Balance shoes look like some 2nd grader designed them while having a stroke. So fucking ugly.

People familiar with hockey know about Warrior. It's just not a football brand, though.

The last time we thought we didn't need to replace our senior players our downfall began. We'd have learnt from that I'd hope.

Man, some sad times will be ahead of us if MikelGOD leaves... who will the fans shout "SHOOT" at if not Mikel?
