What gives him that right, exacly? No player is bigger than the club

30m + Meireles and it should be a wrap. Also, keep Torres if Hulk/moses isnt bought because then we'll prolly use danny on the wing alot.

I hope we will use Oscar in the double pivot, and if we dont have any intentions of doing that, I really hope we'll buy someone creative to put there because if we cannot be effective in the buildup play and use quick counters, I doubt we will be as effective as we want to. We wont be like Barca who can pass around the ball comfortably, then passing messi who gets pass 2-3 defenders. We wont create those spaces in the other teams defense. We need to counter fast and have a smooth and quick buildup player, have a link between the defence and offence and deliver the ball upfront. We wont have that with lamsp and mikel.

Not the same situation at all, not even close. With Lukaku he was competing with Drogba and a 50m signing. Who is Moses competing with? We havent got any RW:

Park the bus? What are you guys, mad? What we should do is to play our usual solid defense and not any high line, and use QUICK counters. We can do that. Pass the ball quick and not that passing the ball around slowly, then losing it. I dont know exacly which players will be available but id like to see Ramires in the double pivot with Mikel, I hope Mata and Hazard both start and i would LOVE to see Sturridge play.

If he isnt gonna be a starter than what do we need him for? Its not like our options for RW is overcrowded...

I just watched this video clip and realized how much I miss and will miss Drogba http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=etKJm7i0K6I

Because with a 4-3-3 we dont have enough creativity behind the striker. Also we havent really got enough pure wingers (RW) atm to play that. 4-2-3-1 is the best option, but id also like to see us try a 4-1-3-2 or 4-1-4-1: 4-1-3-2 Cech Iva - Cahill - Terry - Cole Mikel/Essien Ramires/Hulk? - Mata/Oscar - Hazard/Marin Sturridge - Torres 4-1-4-1 Cech Iva - Cahill - Terry - Cole Mikel Hulk?/Ramires - Oscar/Lampard - Mata - Marin/Malouda Hazard Torres

Of course the 4-3-3 depends on which players are on the pitch. With those, it can only be horrible. IF the same players would have played today id rather see: Cech Iva - Cahill - Terry - Cole Essien Meireles - Lampard Ramires - Hazard Torres

Torres broke his leg

Buy Hulk and Azpi and it'll all be fine. Cech Iva - Cahill - Terry - Cole Mikel - Oscar Hulk - Mata - Hazard Torres GK: Turnbull Def: Azpi, Luiz, Bertrand, Ferreira MF: Lampard, Essien, Ramires, Meireles, yossi Strikers/wingers: Sturridge, Marin, Malouda Hopefully we could sell/release: Ferreira, Malouda, perhaps even Essien :/

What game are u watching?

Please tell me how that was poor goalkeeping?

Pathetic defensive play...

Wonderful counter. Now, THAT is exacly what Ramires should be doing. Not be on the fucking right wing putting in horrible crosses.

With these players on the pitch, id rather see this formation: Cech Iva - Cahill - Terry - Cole Meireles - Essien - Lampard Ramires - Hazard Torres

Hazard wont play RW. Sturridge can play both there and as CF. Ramires shouldnt be used as RW. Of course Hulk would fit...christ..

3-0 win

YOu are right, they wont. They even said they can sell Cavani for 100m, that he isnt worth that, but that 100m is what he is worth to Napoli. Meaning: if anyone wants to buy him it has to be an insane offer. Id think we would have to splash out between 40-50m pounds to land him.

Who gives a flying fuck about pre-season? Your comment was just idiotic.

Quiet scum. Find someone else to bash on, leave Brana out of it.

I thought this was the Hulk topic? Anywho, I havent watched Brazil much lately but seen some of their games now and I must say, Hulk hasnt impressed me at all (from what Ive seen). Hes playing CF atm i reckon? He seemed more effective from the wing from some clips ive watched of him at Porto. Now, since i havent watched full games etc, what do you guys say about his performance in Brazil these past games? Has he only played CF? Hows he been etc?

Im getting sick with all the whining. What do you expect, really? These are fking FRIENDLY GAMES. For some reason you think the players take these games as serious as you do, perhaps some do (youngsters) to prove themselfes, but overall I couldnt care less if we lost or won all pre-season games. The pre-season doesnt lay ground for how the season will be. History proves that too.

Again, these are friendly games. The purpouse of them is for the team to have fun and to get to know one another better, try out some new tactics and players. We're also missing one of our keyplayers, Mata, and we've played with Lukaku up front who clearly isnt read for that big step. Considering its also friendly games, they dont want to risk getting hurt so theyre playing with more care. Im convinced we will play alot better when we're playing with our starting 11 and (hopefully) sign 1-2 more players. But if people expect us to play like Barca, forget it...

You guys are reading too much into these friendly games tbh...
