Sheva.

We haven't been linked with anyone all day, of course we aren't signing anyone. Or else, Sky, BBC or whoever will be immediately on it.

Why do we need 3m for Ba? really what difference does 1.5m make? my god

The Chelsea striker carousel.

Chelsea holding talks with "a striker" according to Daily Fail. Can't see who or why.

I agree. Oscar and Ramires sounds good to me, whether it works though is another question.

I can actually see us getting someone from Madrid, one of Jose's favourites since they seem to be letting a lot of players go.

Impossible for him.

Actually, a lot of people fear Man city here. They do have the best squad in the league, but as for the others there's no crime in being confident - because we do have a very good team. About Bayern - we lost to the European Champs on penalties after defending very well and counter-attacking with a purpose. No shame in that. Anyway, its weird how you take time to sign up on a rival fans forum, but can't stop crying whenever you see any little negative thing. Just go on any Man utd forum and you would see the same exact shit when other teams are playing

Lol link between attack and defence? we had no attack, Lukaku was playing as CM ffs.

Lamps' passing has been horrid this season. Add that to Ramires and you have a pivot that fuck up more passes than they complete - obviously short sideways passes will boost % so fuck any stats someone will inevitably reply with Anyway, Rambo and MVG looked good in preseason, time to give it a try and see how they do.

Still waiting for his customary long range goal

Why do we need to strengthen defence? we have 2 players for every position, and they're all good. People were only talking about new CB because of the Luiz rumours, and not knowing how JT would play. In midfield we got MVG who did well in preseason. He needs time to settle in, but i'm sure he will be starting many games soon. And striker has already been addressed. You must have been deluding yourself if you thought Mourinho was going to come here and play sexy football. He's known for defensive/counter-attacking football. His Real Madrid, Inter and former Chelsea side were all killers on the counter, and he's trying to mold our team into the same. It might not be pretty to some, but it works - just check his medals And finally the only player that has been favoured is Lampard, i don't know how he gets to start 4 straight games when we have other options on the bench. But meh.

TBF, Mata turned up for the big games last season. Scored twice vs Man utd, scored twice vs Arsenal and twice vs Spurs. And more than a few assists in those games. He will soon play his way back into the team, but i still expect him to be on the bench for tough away games where we'll have to play on the counter.

Was wondering why also, but it had something to do with 31st August falling on a Saturday. Deadline day usually on a weekday.

Can't be on a weekend, so was moved to Monday.

Some managers like to have a good penalty taker as the 5th, but some go with their best takers first, and that's what Mourinho did.. Lukaku was the best option left, but couldn't handle the pressure. He will be devastated, but he'll pick himself up and carry on. Everyone makes mistakes, and at least this was 'only' the Supercup.

People saying why did he take pen? well because all we had left was him, Mikel and the defenders. He scored many at WBA also, so it was just a matter of him choking on a big stage - something that can happen to anyone. For example - Drogba has missed 2 decisive pens in Afcon finals.

Has the worst luck at shoot-outs.

Can't see any reason not to be. We have a young team, and they gave 150% against the European Champions, what more do you want?

The way the ball fell to Martinez was just disgusting, i don't even care about watching it again to see what happened, but you don't get much luckier than that.

You don't fuck up an easy chance like Oscar did, and not regret it. Shame really because he was a monster defensively.

OOOOOOOOOOOOMG

OOOOOOOOOOOOMG

Can't say we didn't have the chances, like at OT.
