Deco wont score 20 goals in season for you, but he will create alot of goal scoring opportunities for others around him. He would be the Engine of our team.

Deco, Lampard, Ballack,Mikel,Makalele, Essien for 3 midfield roles. ------------------------------------------------Cech---------------------------------------------------------- --Boswinga-----------------------Terry----------------------------Riccy----------------------------Ashley----- -----------------------------Essien/Ballack/Mikel/Makalele-----------------Essien/Ballack/Mikel/Makalele--------- Quaresma/Ronaldinho-----------------------------Deco/Lampard---------------------------------------JoeCole-- ---------------------------------------------Drogba/Striker---------------------------------------------------- Remeber, Deco is not going to play 50 games a season alone in that position.. The place wil be swapped between 2 players. I really feel Makalele is a surplus to our squad. He is past his prime now and the two deep midfield roles should be shared between three players: Essien, Mikel, Ballack. Lampard and Deco can play the role of an attacking midfielder or playmaker whatever you wish o call it.

It is almost a done deal. Deco coming to Chelsea. Deco today in a statement said, HE WOULD LOVE TO SEE RONNIE PLAY WITH HIM AT A BIG CLUB LIKE Chelsea. I wonder if Deco is gonna score 20 goals next season.

Asking the club for pay rise or else he'll move to another club. He doesnt say that but he means it. I find that pretty close to blackmailing if not blackmailing. He already earns 120000 pounds a week which is staggering and now he asks for a 30000 pounds pay rise. Doesnt look like he is committed to Chelsea as Mischief said, more committed to his bank account. People who support Lampard on this and citicized Gerrard when he "blackmailed" liverpool into increasing his wage, wouldnt they be called Hypocrites?

But the players dont like such instability. Carvalho already took a swipe at Chelsea for the way they treated Grant which isnt a good think.

MY Answer is NO!!!! Its high time Chelsea learn to say NO to players. We see every other player asking for pay rise. Drogba got it, Carvalho will get it( he deserves it). To see under performers like SWP and Sheva earn soo much is ridiculous. We are better off without them. Chelsea have had an image of fantastic pay masters which I am so not happy with. Lampard blackmailing the club for pay rise inspite of him earning well over 100000 pounds per week is such a shame. I would rather tell him Thank You for your services than give him that pay rise becuase that will send a mssage across to the rest of the squad that WE should not be taken for Granted.

What a cracker!!! Just shows that Cech is Human too. First time I ever saw him fumble a ball. Amazing resilience by Turkey in 2 matches in succession. Totally deserve to be in quarters.

Spot on....the best in him comes out when hes riled up and when his talent and performances are questioned(when Sheva came to Chelsea Drogba's starting role was in doubt). When he is praised, he gets big headed. I still would like Drogba to stay provided he shuts his trap. Hes a cry baby who when at his best gets into a different zone altogether. No defender can lcope with him.He at his best is miles better than other strikers at their best.

A Jose Mourinho in a Gene Hackman body :thumbsup:

When I said Overhyped..I meant He is CERTAINLY NOT THE BEST STRIKER IN EUROPE atm as been touted by the press after his 4 goals in 2 games. Villa and Drogba? No comparison. Villa thrives on 4-4-2 so does Drogba but Drogba can still be one of the best in the world playing in 4-3-3. Last season Drogs played 31 games and still managed to stuff in 16 goals. Villa doesnt have the aerial threat that Drogs posses,doesnt have the ball keeeping ability like Drogba. He totally thrives on 4-4-2 a bit like RVN, he certainly is one of the best in Europe, but Drogba is a different class. Torres was the whole and sole of Athletico Madrid, Villa wasnt at. Villa had far better players around him in Valencia , to make him look like a better striker than Torres. Torres dint have the same quality around him in Atl. madrid. Look how Torres has blossomed in Liverpool with much quality midfield behind him. So saying David Villa is a better striker than Torres wouldnt sound right. Both are Quaity, hardly anything to choose. Both are one of the top strikers in Europe when they r at their best, but Drogba at his best is an UNTOUCHABLE!!!!

Villa, Overhyped!!! And today for the second time he has come out and indicated that he is not going t join Chelsea. SO my two words for him... FUCK OFF!!!! Villa seems to be a great pal of Torres. And Villa has indicated that if he comes to england it will be for Liverpool.

Awright....If Dogba stays I don think we neeed to waste money on buying a striker. Drogba has Anelka, Franco Di Santo, Kalou to support him upfront. I guess that should be enough. All we need is a fantastc winger and a good playmaker. Defense and midfield is sorted out. Kalou can also be used on the wings with Joe Cole and the other Top winger that we would buy. I would say, lets go out and buy Quaresma and Ronaldinho/Robinho. Everything will be sorted out. Ronaldinho/Robinho can play as a playmaker as well as on the wings.

BLUE LION!! Whats your take on Malouda now. He still is SHIT !!!...I thought may be the first season in EPL made it tough for him(as you mentioned longtime back), but hes the same for France. He is their weakest link, absolutely ridiculous player to have on the wings.

Ever since I watched the movie Snatch....Ive been a fan of a "Pikey" Accent. Makesmehgocrazeh!! CM: What accent does Fergie has? amongst the ones you mentioned.. Not many people seem to understand what he mumbles.

Let me remind you of a certain "CANNIBAL". He was famous for eating up the opposition team's strikers and we all went gaga over him when he ate Ronaldinho for dinner at the Bridge.

He'll probably change his mind another couple of times before the end of the transfer window. Really used to it now!!! Jose made it clear that Inter is NOT looking for striker as they are very potent in that dept. and all they want is couple of good midfield players. Which obviously SHUT the door BANG on Drogbas face. Hence he now wants to stay with Chelsea. Pisses me off this guy.!!!

Greece in EURO 04, France if it wasnt for Zidane headbutt, France in EURO 00

Thoughts are that, judging players over the period of time is a better option than judging them based on their performances in one match or a tournament. Milan Baros an example that comes to my mind. Boulahrouz was great for us only in one game when he owned Ronaldinho at the bridge. We gotta look for a talent who gives such performances day in and day out for a club over the entire season.

They still wont win it. MARK MY WORDS!!! History has it that the most attractive team in the competition NEVER wins the competition. Argentina in the World Cup an example. My money is still on Germany and Portugal.

Thats exactly what I meant. although people may argue the team was in Auto Pilot mode but whatever......

What an Ass....Just missed a penalty....an opportunity which would have taken Romania into the next round and Kocnked out italy from the competition.

I am not too sure how good a "Master Tactitian" he is. He was a manager of Real Madrid and was fired within a year for finishing 4th in the league and having a trophyless season, inspite of having, Zidane, Figo, Ronaldo, Beckham, etc etc. I know he had alot of interference from their President, but if you see, his situation wasnt much different from that of Grant's. May be he is Good but definately no where near the likes of scolari and Jose.

Darwins Theory.....SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST!!!! Badboy needs some Education.... Badboy..are you Afro European?

And what makes it even interesting is , Scolari has riled them up even befoe setting his foot in England. Fergie and Quieroz never got along well with Scolari, because of their constant requests of using Ronaldo sparingly for the National Team being ignored by Scolari. Queiroz once commented "Scolari is like one of those people whom, if you give your brand new car to, would make the best use of it, empty the petrol tank, screw it up and give it to you and not even say thanks"...(it was something on those lines). This was after their request was ignored and Ronaldo came back with an injured ankle from this National Duty. Scolari once commented on Quiroz "He is desperate to submit his application for the manager's position". This was when Quieroz came to watch the Portugal team to scout for Nani. And now he has already riled them up, by persuading Rnoaldo to grab the opportunity. EXPECT FIREWORKS WHEN FERGIE AND SCOLARI MEET IN THE LEAGUE!!!
