I seriously hope these rumors about us going for Mandzukic are a joke. Watching him in our jersey would be worse than watching Torres IMO.

You can't post in a forum and want/expect people not to reply to your posts. That's the point of forums, smh.

Kicker is alright. Not as reliable as Sky Sports but reliable nonetheless.

I'm probably off but Atsu reminds me of what Malouda could have been if he was used as a hybrid winger-midfielder. Pacey, good technique, great dribbling, defensively aware. Not a player that will "wow" you but one that is solid allround and efficient in his actions.

And another attacking midfielder who creates chances mainly by using his speed/athleticism and dribbling... take away the space and he's having a difficult time creating anything. That being said he's a "Mourinho type" of player though I don't think that's what we need as we are desperate for someone who can actually create chances through positioning and vision in a less paced game which we will face 90% of the time.

Albeit it's been posted a couple of days ago on the official Chelsea HP, he's included in the provisional WC squad for Ghana.

Wouldn't it be karma at its finest if that comment turns out to be true and Oscar really thinks that way? Mourinho shipped out one of the world's best playmakers in Mata so his golden boy could be the undisputed No. 10 and just a few months later that very same golden boy complains about his role... if it wasn't our club that this is happening at I'd be laughing now.

Isn't there a rule that states that we can't loan Courtois to Atletico again?

It'll feel awkward to see someone else lead the team out on the pitch week in week out when JT's not around anymore.

Fucking typo

Silverware, silverware, and silverware. It's time to put the balls on the table and actually win something.

New 5yr contract for Torres

No, it's just fair that we can voice our opinion. If you wanna live with the positive feedback you as well have to accept the negative one.

Lol, and Oscar's the player Mourinho ditched Mata for, FFS.

Ehm, interesting choice(s) to say the least.

Ballack was the prototypical box-to-box midfielder who would play wherever you used him and who was able to adept to every position you put him in. Not only was he an amazing player in his prime but he was also one of the greatest leaders on the pitch (Germany has been crying out for such a player ever since he didn't feature for the national team anymore). How can you not build a team around him, let alone not implement him?

But it was THE BEST THREAD EVAR

Where's the Tommy thread gone?!

The wording was "far". Willian doesn't excel in any of these aspects far better than Moses, especially his decision making and intelligence are as bad/good as Moses's.

In which aspects exactly "far more"?

Isn't that what we critisized Moses for at the end of last season?

Then what?

Germany has such a system and it's perfectly fine. What exactly do you find insulting?

He's not going without a title, and rightly so. Frank deserves to win at least one trophy before he retires.

One or two Liverpool and City games and we can officially call this season a failure.
