It's hard to play attacking football with Sturridge playing shit, and having to play Malouda/Kalou and Ramires on the wings. Oh and don't forget our midfielders that can't pass! RDM simply didn't have a choice.

Can't wait till next week, when this will be finally announced.

Very good point, i've been reading too much shit on the Daily Mail.

Roman is obsessed, and will wait for him.

I would have agreed with this, had Pep coached in another club not named Barcelona.

What's up with these ridiculous wages being thrown around?

If he comes here, he better not try to do stupid shit like the high line or 3 man defence.

After that penalty, which that cunt Fabregas dived for, they struggled to get past our 10 defenders. They kept passing from side to side, before Alves tried to start crossing the ball in.

Because you don't always need a Plan B, doesn't mean you should not at least have one. If one day, for some reason that Plan A isn't working - like against us in the 2nd half of the game at Camp Nou - then you're fucked The funniest part was them trying to cross with all the short players in their team

We were lucky to beat them with a parked bus yes, but it's the best possible way. Many teams have tried to take them on and failed miserably.

I don't find tiki taka fun to watch, i'd rather watch Real Madrid, they play better football as far as i'm concerned. Ibrahimovic didn't work out - wasn't that because Pep decided to put him out wide and play Messi in the middle? not sure but i remember him scoring a lot of goals, before having problems with Pep.

Do you think Pep will set-up to play ugly if we run into Barca next season? i doubt it. And he'll end our good run against them in the process

I don't see the so called 'sexy football' Pep plays. He had no Plan B when it mattered the most at Barca. I'm just not confident about him succeeding here, which is why i don't want him.

Except Meireles and Ramires.

No. Isn't he a DM? i don't know much about his style of play, but he doesn't look like the type of player we need. (When i watched Bilbao this season, he always played at CB)

Lmao all these transfer rumours and the window hasn't even opened yet.

He's not a diver.

there's the usual 'Chelsea representative' he/she is always available.

Lol. If he wasn't going to Chelsea i am 150% sure his agent, or even Chelsea would have denied it already.

Alright. I'm not expecting him to be world class, but going by what i have seen of him, and his assist stats, i am expecting someone a lot better than Malouda and Kalou. Same here.

? he's always been a starter, this past season he spent a lot of time out with injuries.

I love all this talk about Hazard-Mata-Hulk, but what about defensive duties? Hazard-Mata-Ramires is more balanced for me, with Ramires playing on the wing where the opponents are most dangerous (in big games)

Yeah i can understand that. Still surprised he picked Chelsea, 'cos i thought the chance of playing behind Rooney, and being coached by SAF would surely appeal to him. Glad to be wrong though

Almost every reliable media outlet are reporting us signing him - even before he made the "Champions of Europe" tweet. And on SSN they said the club gave him permission to reveal his decision on twitter, so obviously it's close to a done deal and only a matter of time before it's made official.
