Our transfers have been a mess: Some how, beyond human comprehension, we have salvaged a point for this truly awful game. Looking at the game I just wonder about of transfers, have we kept the wrong players and sold the wrong ones? Out: Anelka: Offers a lot of creativity, and would easily be in our top 3 for creative players. Benayoun: Ditto, he is creative. What makes it worse is us loaning him too Arsenal. The two-aforementioned players are not a long-term solution we know that. If we do go after Lucas and Hazard in summer then more than adequate replacements are clearly in the market. Those two are diamonds and I just hope we do bring them in; it's almost incomprehensible in our current state! McEachran: The lad oozes creativity and can see a pass that many can't. That doesn't always come with experience, and if we had the balls we would've kept him at the club and played him far more consistently than what we did. Alex: He didn't want to be here, I would've loved him too stay but he's too good for the bench. Defence isn't the issue here anyway Kakuta: Divisive is Gael, he needs playing time and he knows it but I just think given an opportunity at Chelsea, he can play, and even if it's not at his peek, it's definitely better than the shit we yield. Still wearing Blue! Malouda: He offers nothing anymore, and is filling the place of another player who can i.e. Piazon (too young), Mceachran, Kakuta. Bosingwa: Guy can't cross, Cesar Azpilicueta would've been perfect but Ivanovic is just so much better than Jose it's laughable. Meireles: Not expecting him to leave in half a season, but he shouldn’t be starting regularly. McEechran really should've stayed. In the short-term I think our results could have been far better. In the long term, with us vying two WORLD-CLASS players in Lucas and Hazard, this transition could have been a lot easier. Anyway I hope the players prove me wrong. Top 4 is so vital, at the end of the day the team who gets it, either us or Arsenal, will get Hazard. It's as simple as that. Theirs a lot at stake.

BOSINGWAAAAA

You know somethings wrong when even Fucking Andy Carrol can score today and Chelsea can't.

Wow 4 minutes later, and the guy who HANDCUFFED himself to the post is off the pitch.

If you look at my post and read what I said. I said he hasn't touch the ball or he can't do it on his own. That's not criticising him. All of our players have been quite shocking, but with our uncreative midfield it's not a surprise.

WTF the Everton game some fan has handcuffed himself to the post!!!!!!!!

Is that something wrong because I fail to see the wrong in me saying "he can't do it on his own" or that he hasn't touched the ball. He's a fantastic player but isn't having his best game. I'm watching City too, Silva's too shitall too but doesn't make him bad.

Bosingwa - can't cross Meireles - No creativity Malouda- Nothing to offer Sturridge - Too selfish Torres - Hasn't touched the ball Mata - Dito It's no wonder we're not getting the balls in the danger zone, or even touching it for that matter. Their is nothing their, we have no spark. Mata yes, but not he can't do it on his own - he's not even touching the ball. We can say all we want about Piazon being unready, but I can tell you this. He can offer 200% more than what we're showing atm.

OFF THE LINE TWICE

Welcome to the forums mate.

I think its a coded double entendre personally (we wish) But yeh he was talking about his app on Canal Football Club, where he confirmed he was set for England.

Yeh lmfao I said that too. This is just the funniest tweet, he's really toying with our heads.

Not sure if that is his twitter, and it's kind of like the response he gave too Canal+ "Well, you're free to place your bets"

Apparently he broke out a smile after the "I bet it's Chelsea" bit :lol:

Hazard wants Champions league football. Something Arsenal are in no position to guarantee. Arsene Wenger has been after Ronaldo, Gotze, Mata, Drogba, Cahill at some point in their career. With a 17 million record signing, and the wages he commands I doubt Wenger is going to change his policy so drastically so suddenly. In monetary terms anything they can offer we can better, and we know, Abramovic won't give in. He's always openly admired Arsenal, but our current need for a winger, and playing style, and Belgian contingent, and guaranteed playing time is tantalizing enough.

Manchester United: winger wise, Nani, Valencia, Young Arsenal: winger wise, Gervinho, Arsharvin, Walcott, Alex-Oxlade, Park-Chu Young Manchester City: Too much for him too even consider. Chelsea: Kalou, Malouda, Sturridge, Mata Red = Possible departures.

Good draw. Birmingham on a good run, but I'd take them at home before the draw. Crawley get Stoke at home, would've prefered it at the britannia so instead of a 4k capacity turnover it'd be around 27k but its alright.

I hope we've sorted something out

You don't know how much I want us to avoid Crawley with them being my local team. The amount of stick I could get if anything dodgy happens. What makes it even worse is Crawley have Sergio Torres and you know the chants are already being planned. Matt Tubbs is in his ever-goalscoring form too. In all honesty I want Crawley to go to Liverpool or another big team, I can forsee an upset and a moment like last year would be fantastic. Man City would have been hilarious, big spenders v big spenders. But Liverpool, and their shite record against small teams, gives me hope. What a story that could be

These are all very subjective questions, and everybody can give you different answers. Hazard has blistering speed, is explosive and avails a perfect balance between skill and raw dribbling. He is like a synthesis of Messi and Ronaldo stylistically. His speed with the ball is quite immense too. However Lucas is on par with Hazard with his dribbling speed and like I mentioned before, is more like Messi style wise. Hazard also has a lethal cross and atm would probably be more likely to provide our strikers with the balls they need over a run. Lucas probably will too, but I think he will need a bit of time to adjust like any youngster. Both are very levelheaded too, and unlike Neymar, will find it hard to have haters IMO. Hazard is 21, he has some UCL experience and is more mature atm whereas Lucas is less experienced at 19 years old. Both of them though are just so outrageously talented. These signings carry so much world-class potential, the prospects of them signing for us is very exciting. Really these players will be the envy of every other team in the years too come

Mesut Ozil. What a brilliant player and a great human being.
