i think we will lose mata in the summer

we even have a winger in the first place?

zzzzz; twilight was on the movie network during the game; id been better off watching that, certainly alot more convincing action there than at craven cottage

huh? arent these two tottaly different players; one a defense mid, and one a number 10/winger/very attacking mid

dont worry guys; if we don't get barcelona , the economy will soon after

ross barkley

best lb in the world imo; he is surley barca bound to replace abidal. Any links to us or city are for him to secure $$$$.

im inclined to prefer di maria because he operates on the rightwing better and we all know the lw spot is reserved for a certain belgium(hazard) with that said gaitan would be welcomed by me; but I woudnt lose much sleep if we got someone else of good quality.

WOW I lucked out. I was organizationally gonna visit Israel(Technion on list of things to visit ) around that time but changed it to late May because my final exam schedule had later dates than expected.

speak of the devil http://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/shinji-kagawa/plant-wechsel-nach-england-23482328.bild.html bild is reporting he wants to play for us or united and will reject contract extension? anyone speak german and care to translate the meaning of article??

I think its time we apply some critical thinking here If you speak french(like i do tralalalal canada) and saw hazards interviews on canal + you will be struck instantly by getting a vibe that he is a man of values and his word. He said he will come the premier league next season. Is this certain? surley if barca or madrid get serious? Well even if they showed interest he has decided the premiere is his next step in development and knows full well he can join either of those teams when he wants later in his career. he is still young and he made very clear in his canal+ interview Ok so lets look at the realistic teams. Manchester United--- The current valuation of 35 million for hazard I believe is to steep for a team that is loaded with wingers already, not to mention they are in debt. However they were linked to gaitain who is a winger strangely enough so perhaps sir alex is in the market for a winger afterall. But nevertheless gaitain could be deployed in the midfield(not that hazard cant either) and seen a perfect ryan giggs replacement(someone who can play wings and midfield). and gaitain is much cheaper Verdict: Overall id say hazard to united aint gonna happen. Arsenal--- Arsene wenger a long admirer of hazard, but one thing wenger loves more than a crafty winger with pace is staying true to his economist value. Wenger is a man who has an idealogy that spending over 25 millon on player is not the way to run a club. EVER. Hazard did once say he wanted a club that was in champions league and had french speaking people. This was a few years ago and at the time this was obviously arsenal he was talking about. Verdict: With the emergence of ox chamberlain and the fact they have UMM walcott and gerivhno and just signed poldoski, tells me that even if hazard still wanted arsenal; it probably won't happen. Spurs-- In recent weeks he has flirted with the north londoner's but again he may be priced just to much for them. Further to this even in spurs make cl next season they are not consistent qualifiers for this competition. Among that the wage structure at the club won't be appealing considering the money offered by us or city. Hazards flirting with spurs can be rationalized as he was doing what his agent told him to to drive up his price. Spurs may be a good option for him to develop more as he would get playing time there(assuming bale changes positions) but he should seriously know spurs will never seriously contend for champions league or the premier league title. Spurs are not the team that can take themselves to the next level with their limited financial powers, unlike us who can build a great project. They will cap out at a good team but never able to take it to the next level due to restrictions. Verdict: Its still possible hazard lands here but its ambitious. Manchester City-- He said he wouldn't join a team where he wouldn't be a starter. City have an expensive squad with lots of good players, but they lack a natural winger like hazard. We see this now at the end of the season that when silva goes out of form they have no width or creativity, they do have Johnson but hes rubbish half the time and is a right winger. Mancini has been keen on a winger, but thankfully he has his hearts set on jovetic(whos awesome btw) but still hazard is a great second option and they have no problem paying the fee. Lets just hope they sign another winger or mancini keeps with his strategy of having 23432424242425532423 strikers. Verdict: if city convince hazard he will get playing time I can see them pulling it off. Id say 50/50 he joins them. Chelsea FC-- Our lives would be made alot easier if we were in europe(cl obviously not el) next season but its not the end of the world if we dont make cl. Lets take a pesimistic view and say we dont make cl. over the last decade its happened twice to two top clubs, ac milan and bayren munich, Frank Ribery, Miroslav Klose, Luca Toni, Ze Roberto, Hamit Altintop were signed by bayren that summer and Mathieu Flamini, Ronaldinho, Marco Borrielo, Gianluca Zambrotta, Andriy Schevchenko (loan), David Beckham (loan) by ac milan.Stephen Schmidt does great write up about there here; http://www.weaintgotnohistory.com/2012/3/28/2909180/some-historical-perspective-on-how-missing-the-champions-league-could . So however it may be harder to sign players without cl, not all players are pre madonnas and can live 1 year without cl; if we were able to convince them we will invest more and sell them the idea on our project and tell them they will play a key role blah blah blah blah. Hazard is 21, he can only now by a beer in the U.S. So reasons why hazard would join our project with or without cl for one season -he can see a great attacking future with mata and torres(or whomever) upfront -we do have a good french speaking enviroment at chelsea -laurent blanc may be our coach, surley he can lure ligue 1 players to chelsea -the obvious belgium party(chocolates and all) happening at cfc, mark my words we will be linked to axel witsel soon as well(more reason to join) -we offer good wage -torres is good looking -asides from being friends with belgium players, also forming an attacking bond with lukaku for national team. -our team has a history of winning trophies over recent years unlike badsenal or flopcity. -our fanbase if better looking than other fanbases -he can live with 1 year without cl -if only us or city meet his valuation well @*$)($* he will definetly play when he wants where he wants a chelsea. -we are beyong desperate for wingers -his girlfriend/wife(he has a kid) will prefer london to manchester. They always do... potential stumbling block kevin de bruyne and him operate best at leftwing postion. why would he join us to be competing for playing time with his friend and country m8. possibly no championleague idk what else were kinda awesome Verdict: if he rules out city(not interested), we may be the only possible option left! for a player of hazards quality how this could happen is beyond me. 40% chance. Liverpool-- HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Veridct: HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

My theory; Barca have agreed to trigger his buyback this summer and he has agreed and that makes an angry chelsea fc.

as far as im concerned if barca win; thats great news. The revenue we will make from playing barca over the two legs will help cover some of the lost revenue of not making cl next year.

welcome! , chelsea is touring the usa this summer; I believe they play one in washinton d.c and one in newyork among other places. Both relativley near by steel city.

keep mikel; rest can (insert swear word of choice) off

I love how his form picks up; and all of a sudden these "links" come out of the blue

the report of us passing on hazard when he was 17 reminds me all to well of this; http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/552706_213217702111161_131972893568976_336214_932908203_n.jpg

he probably wants lampard type money. Not good enough for that, will never be a top draw cf, and never a winger. He may be good at times, but thats it hes just good, wont be great to take us to the next level. I really dont mind selling him for 15-20 mil in summer. Christ thats funded more than the half the money to bid for gaitain who is a natural winger and better.

Russian media losing their marbles over claiming anhzi bid something like 35 mil euros; we said no and they came back with 45 mil euro offer and we haven't responded. If this is true; this is good news. if he finishes great, than we just say no. but if he regresses and finishes season poor than we option to get some refund

heart rate when reading first line 180bpm , after reading the source 60bpm

natural wideman with superb crossing ability. Perfect for united

Lavezzi-Cavani-Rossi + hamsik and j.martinez in the midfield. Napoli on form could rival anyone from attacking point of view.

if Laurent Blanc uses his great reputation in france and in the french media to bring players like hazard, m.villa, etc.. with him to chelsea, than i don't think things will ever go as wrong for him as they did for avb.

the amount you guys are overrating Mata shows how bad the quality in our squad is. He rarley beats his man 1 on 1; he is a horrific in defense; he dips off so much in games due to his fitness; his 1 -2 plays have been non-exsistent second half of the season; his finishing on his right foot is shocking; he is not a winger, hes a bad winger when played there actualy. His crosses are inconsistent, his whole play is; he just looks so out of ideas in the final third. Is a no show in big games(kinda the point of a top team is to be big in big games). Granted though to get the best out of mata he has to be played in the middle of a 4-2-3-1, but we dont have wingers to support him(fair enough). Have proper wingers of quality will free up space for mata and give him quality to work with(another fair point). But still he should be performing MUCH better currently. But please dont embarrass yourself when you call mata someone comparable to the rooneys, ozils, sneidjers, xavis, iniesta's of the world. Hes not on that level.

squad overhaul should of happened last summer; now we have to do it this summer without cl to offer. The only way this isn't a disaster is if roman can overlook the 40 mil loss and not sell the club(dont argue with me on this, with his courtcase the most important he dont give a **** about chelsea this season) and reinvest. Replace essien with tiote. Bring in willian for lw, bring in a rightwinger(maybe hulk may come if you offer a ton, you have to to offset no cl). Buy a bloodly rb. Tell the oldguard to fuckoff. Make a clear decision on cf. Its either torres the main man or sell him and buy falcao. A buy a bloody midfielder. And find a proper coach. At this point benitez is a great option. We only hate him cause he was lfc`s coach. The guy seriously OVERACHIEVED with the budget he had at lfc. Imagine if he had 250 mil to spend.
