He was a big game player that never showed up unless.

Good points. But I think you underrate the Ligue 1 a lot. In terms of competition (not strength) I would rate the leagues like this: England Germany Italy France Spain Portugal Not to mention, Hazard has improved while Lille has regressed. Three of Lille's best players left after winning the League (Cabaye, Sow, Rami) so Hazard has gotten stronger at weakening Lille. Hazard has been almost carrying this Lille squad and was there only effective player in the Champions League. On another note, the French League not the Italian League is the most defensive league in the world. A lot of team play in a style that promotes two DMs, so naturally this league is the hardest to score in. We've missed Aguero for demanding huge wages and not to mention players like Benzema. We can't miss an opurtunity like this.

Yeah, but it doesn't take much for the users of Talk Chelsea to go up in arms. Besides, you only have one career. His childhood club was probably Lille and he has played at them for the past four years. There is nothing wrong with a guy trying to get the most out of what he does. You only get one shot at trophies and at a footballing career, it's only natural to want the best. Not everyone can be a Matt Le Tissier or Alan Shearer type.

I think he deserves a chance in the Preseason and the Mickey Mouse Cup.

I what I meant by immature was that he had limited top level experience (referring to Lucas Moura). Besides it's a typical TC reaction to hate someone so easily and for no apparent reason. I bet if he signs all you lot will have a circle jerk.

He has played for Arsenal and Spurs. FUCK THAT

Me gusta defensive football. I find pride in conceding less the 20 goals a season. But attacking football would be nice. Thankfully it's not up to me to decide.

Typical Talk Chelsea.

Torres earns more than those two. I understand what you mean though.

Hazard. Hazard. Hazard. Moura is too immature at the moment and I just don't like Hulk.

Porto is going to fuck us over again. I bet he tears both of his ACLs two days after he signs.

JOE COLE...one of Chelsea's most popular players ever...before he said one sentence about Liverpool. I still like you Joe!

I would play him at RB, win the World Cup by beating Germans on penalties, bang Eva and make Lucas watch. I wouldn't suck any male genitals.

We will probably never see Cap again if Kalou leaves.

Santon was decent for a while but he got skinned alive one match and cost Inter Milan the 3 points. Mou ripped into him after the match and Santon has never been the same. It doesn't help that most of his match experience is at LB.

Because about a year ago I said this: "Ballack showed more loyalty and passion to this club than that one Englishman who claimed to be a season ticket holder as a lad." It's on the previous page...

Florentino Perez didn't want Ronaldinho because he thought he was too ugly to be a Galactioco. His opinion means shit.

Manuf Fuck.

Everyone is so cynical. Sigh...

Better, my friend? http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1077000/chelsea-%27closest%27-to-signing-sao-paulo-starlet-lucas

Joe Cole Fuck.

Apparently. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chelsea-make-30m-move-for-lucas-844436

I just feel like he is Sturridge except more powerful. I don't think he is very creative and his first option would be shoot. I would rather a Creativer Winger than an Inside Foward. Sure he gets assists, but how many are from deliberate plays and not just his last desperate attempt at a goal? Creativity over firepower. Hulk doesn't give width but in fact reduces it due to his cutting in. 35million for Strurridge 2.0? Fuck that. But saying that, I can see him scoring 15+ goals a season here. I can just imagine him being a very frustrating player.

I cannot express how much I don't want Hulk.
