Blue Armour

IMO, he should be consistent and at the very least help create, if not score, goals. If he has one more "mini"-slump, then we should be looking for a replacement.

Old dance vid, but music makes it ridiculously funny

Lol, he must have been fearing the worst then. But he was clearly there to start a counter.

Or to start a possible counter-attack?

Lampard on AVB:

Seriously don't bother arguing. If RDM plays Torres as an RM, then he would change his opinion.

Josh still has time on his side. Hutch never really had a chance after his injury. But yes, its make or break for Gael and VanAanholt

This is why Goal.com stories aren't allowed here

So we effectively trade Kalou for Hazard. Nice.

Source? I only see Goal.com and Mirror. (and the latter has merely quoted the former)..Smells like...

Man Utd does play two upfront (although they pack the midfield in the big games). Its not the formation to take on all other formations, but it can work. Besides we were talking about playing this formation on the attack, and transition back to a regular 4-5-1 for defense.

Both Hulk and Moses are quick and direct wingers (although Hulk does attempt to be audacious on occasion). The difference is Hulk is a finished product. This makes Moses a more interesting signing (and a less expensive one), but I don't think we can guarantee the playing time needed for him to develop.

Yeah, those are some of the formations which we could experiment with next season. I particularly like this one; (Kind of like a modified, more attacking version of a 4-3-3)

I remember that well. Back in 2009 there was a very good chance. This was before he had established himself in a central midfield role and was a bit unsettled. You never know how these things really work out though, so anything is still possible.

I don't think he's that attached to Bayern as most people believe...

This might be more reliable:

There's a good chance that Maicon will be second choice if he does come here. He might not be happy, but Chelsea will probably be the last big club in Europe he'll play for and so he might be content with that.

Its just a comparison. Nothing new.

Well...why are you giving more attention to the fact that I did bring up Kalou?

Lol... Blatter: For me as Fifa president it became evident the moment what happened in South Africa in 2010," he continued. "I have to say 'thank you Lampard'; I was completely down in South Africa when I saw that. It really shocked me, it took me a day to react. "It happened again in Ukraine, and Ukraine can still not believe it now."

Yeah, in terms of stats he's much worse than Kalou, but he's still a lot younger.

Yesssssss...he got Bosingwa's number..not Drogba's number...he's going to play like Bosingwa not Drogba... Seriously. It's just a number. Nothing more. EDIT: And does it really matter whether he gets a first eleven number or not? Our captain doesn't have one either...

And what if he doesn't? I'm all for Hutchinson reaching the highest of heights, but you have to remember how lucky he is to be even playing at this level..

SeB.., torontochelsea made some interesting posts as well.
