Retired.

At least we don't cry to the media about sledging. The big scary Aussies hurt my feelings.

Everyone being arrogant = 3-1 loss. SUPERSTITIONS

I remember when I was young in my early years of school the other kids thought LBW was when the ball hit the batsman's legs in any circumstance. The batsman's leg could be 2m away from the wickets and they'd still call it.

Strengths: Strong Quick Confident on the ball Agressive Can play several positions Weaknesses: Doesn't score many Not all that creative Doesn't specialise in any position Can he do it in a two man midfield? Possiburu. But he mainly plays LM for Juve right?

He plays LB, LWB, BLW, LBW, CM, CDM, CAM, AM, LAM, AML, LCM, CLM, and Left-midfield.

I feel like I should warn every person that uses the tired old insult "you know nothing of football". Sick of reading it every thread.

It is less thought and more an objective fact.

It's more creative then half of the rubbish you believe to be humour.

Schurrle is terrible at defending as a cat is an awful pet. There.

He cost about as much as Cesc, Eden and Diego.

Only if you develop a personality that allows for the engagement of sexual intercourse with a human female.

This guy has been linked to Chelsea every year since Jesus was born.

09/10 was horrific and 11/12 was an eyesore. On another note, put down the thesaurus.

They typically don't.

I hate getting new kits all the time. The club should just use the 04-05 kit for the next decade.

If I could I would suspend you for a week for 'rollercoaster of emotion'.

He played more than 11 games though. Besides, the League (where all his magic happened) doesn't have any finals.

That is not what people are saying at all. The difference between and injury prone player and someone like van Ginkel is that van Ginkel's injuries are never his fault, they are from tackles and poor challenges, outside interference or stimuli causes the injuries. This incredible bad luck. Nearly everyone would be injured from a very bad tackle, does this mean everyone is injury prone? Perhaps in the future if van Ginkel has reoccuring problems with his knee or ankle that isn't caused by a tackle, we can refer to him as injury prone. However someone who is like Alex Pato or Thiago Silva, injure themselves while training, walking, jumping, running and everything inbetween. There is no other factors other than themselves which cause the injury. This is what people refer to as injury prone. It's all semantics but this seems to be the decisive definition on Talk Chelsea. Urban Dictionary is like quoting your thesis from something written on a rag.

I googled 'injury-prone' and ran it through several respected dictionaries that are not 'Collins'. Oxford and Webster the two largest and most reputable English dictionaries in the world have no definition for the word 'injury-prone'. The dictionary you have quoted is the equivalent of the newspaper The Sun. http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/spellcheck/all/?q=injury+prone http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/injury%20prone

@didierforever, You need to stop being so aggressive and belligerent towards other users. Chillout dude.

Teams need to have stars but not too many stars. Teams need solid players to suppliment the great. If there is one thing I've learned from watching the NHL in America is that teams need three or four great or 'franchise' players and a supporting cast. Or to phrase it another way: 'too many cooks ruin the soup' = 'too many stars ruin the team'. Mikel for instance is not flashy, he doesn't put up many in terms of goals and assists but when matches need to be shut down or the bus needs to be parked, players like Mikel are few and far between. Ramires, while not technical proficient is a pest, a grinder, always pressing, getting dirty and moving around the pitch. His energy is rare and offers something different again. Naturally Nemaja and Cesc are the two we look to win matches and they should alwasy be the starting duo when available and needed. But having Pogba who also deserves to start only adds problems when Ramires and Mikel are perfect for a back-up role.

Fuck the Real Madrid ethos of signing players. They collect them like Panini stickers at World Cup time. Three starters for two spots? Fuck dat. Who warms the bench?

Alex Pato is injury prone. He goes for a walk down the prostitute central of Sao Paulo and he strains his hammy. Getting a paired of studs wrapped around your legs and tearinh your ACL doesn't equate to injury prone.

Aye, agreed with you there mate. Gazza is bang on average. A very solid performer that looks amazing when paired with someone that brings out the best in him, someone like JT. He isn't a leader like some think he is, he does not in anyway play like JT, he isn't rubbish like others say, he is a good CB that puts in solid performances most weeks. Kompany is wank and Demichelis is either 10/10 or 1/10. And why do people want Ivan as a CB? He hasn't played as a CB regularly for most of his career. Besides the bastard attacks more than bloody Dani Alves.
