1 point at whitehart lane with boswinga playing a cb? Decent result. Ima go eat chinese now to relax..... OH WAIT THIS IS ANOTHER TORRES THREAD TORRES TORRES TORRES TORRES TORRES TOREESESSSESES

Hard to build a squad you want when you can't land the majority of your targets(ie vargas, hulk, long etc...)

agent off to Italy to finalize; LOCK THIS THREAD..... at least were still in for hazard

hazard-vargas-sturridge mata rameries oriel cole terry luiz serbian guy cech MMMM BACON ON DAT B*****

torres + $ for falcao

one thing to remember, hazard said a while back that when he would move, he wanted a team that can offer cl and has french speaking people. AVB speaks french(common second language in portugal) and we have always been home to several players who speak french as their first language. Makelele Malouda, anelka, boswinga. drogba, kalou, Lukaku, etc... This can also point to arsenal(wenger is from france), gervihno, diaby, etc.. and they have cl, but will they for next season? I also reckon fee is an issue and arsenal seem keen to land gotze. Our chances all depend on whether zidane convinces the Real Madrid board to put in larget bid for hazard or not.

30 mil is a bargain for gotze. I expect him to leave in 2 years for 80+million

Skybet has us as favourites to land hazard in january. But I don't see him leaving in jan I Have been watching him alot this last month, and wow this guy is shaping into something very special. Ill take hazard over neymar any day.

Woudn't mind the guy to their left(our right) as well

Does anyone know if he speaks english?

Sturridge and A.Cole are best friends judging by faltering quotes they said about each other and personalty.

This is the right direction, but why wasn't this done in the summer :thinking: Ideal options like hazard are only available in the summer. Our hands are tied in january.

Apparently he is as big of a chelsea as shon3x http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3977755/Lazar-Markovic-eyes-dream-move-to-Chelsea.html

I will shed a tear..... Of joy

Nope, his knees aren't as bad as ganso's, hes a touch faster to.

Hes a pretty good player, but I view him as a poor mans ganso. Same build, same style, just not quite as good.

The only 2 people I trust on twitter have said themselves cahil is either ours or extremly close, if this is the case its definitely bye bye Alex. As for anelka, if we pick up de bruyne surely one of anelka malouda or kalou will be out. This is what is expected to happen in January at least. The interesting thing now is if we can/will pick up a third signing in january which would be a marquee signing .

This and 25something odd million at stake. Last year arsenal brought in around 40 mil from cl revenue, while I forget which english team it was, but one of the english teams in europa league team made just 5.5 mil from europa league revenue(im basing this off what one of the sky announcers said when van persie scored for arsenal in their cl qualifier match this season against udenlise). Keep in mind if this were a season regulated by ffp and we were to lose to valencia, ouch that would really hurt.

In before someone slates me for poor spelling on a forum board. Sorry ^^

wish I had your optimistic view, but Malouda two games in a row against pool. Hes a bloody awful player , how could any manager who has half a brain pick him?! well admitively he does not have many other options and mata does need rest. But dosent chelsea fc have consultants, lawyers, scouts, board members that surely watched all last season and saw this coming, and none of them could pressure on avb bring in at least another winger. We as in chelsea staff from board to lawyers and Avb looked a touched disorganized in the transfer window this summer. Only started to look organized til the end. Yes he did join midsummer appose to when carlo was sacked, but surely this was enough time to see the glaring holes or listen to the cries of chelsea fans. Yes mata and romeu have been class thus far but ffs if you watched last season SOIFEJESOIFJSEOIFJSEIOSJFOISFOISEMFOISEMFOS at least 2 more among those were needed.. POINT FINALE

If you followed portugese soccer last year, which I didn't but however took the time to educate myself of what transpired you would know Sporting Clube de Portugal were in crisis and benifica were horrific as well. Btw benifica had squad overhaul of 7 players this summer and are doing great this season.(a case of revolution working, unlike avb thinks evolution is otherwise best). Portguese league is a 3 horse race always between those 3 and two teams in crisis, and Avb INHERITED a better squad than the other two title competing teams. In no way this a function of his architecture which we are trusting him to do now at chelsea.

plastic? Mature response to anyone who conjures a different opinion than yours? Its a bloody avatar I couldn't be seriously bothered to change, nor have I lost 100 percent faith, just 99.4 %,. And I put this avatar up when we were all seduced by avb's glazzy shave and impress speech abilities(sounds familiar right??????). I was a suck and naive admittedly at the time.

hahah, ok Obama didn't walk into a good situation, likewise avb. Both have managed to take bad situations and make them worse. avb out Hiddink in? unless avb can turn it around and make this last month an outlier. definitely obama out trump in. And I think the avb Obama analogy has to many similarities to not make a joke of. If I have offended you, well I really couldn't careless.

avb is exactly like obama, came with so much promise. One has runied the country he is in charge of and the other takes a worldclass football team to not qualifty for cl and go out in group stages(if you think were beating valencia, your a thick fken moron). Stop being so fucken nieave people thinking he is a savior. The way its set up at porto I could win a treble there. Cut our losses. Hiddink in for the next 3 years, he will get results while rebuilding.

not this but rather,
