I dont think so, the last I heard that he will be signed and loaned to Genk this season and Atl. Madrid next season.

CJ Revo, Love the Pic of Mata in your Avatar. I think, after Cudicini, Mata is the player I have a Man Crush on.

I think, this season we will be over stocked like we were during Carlo's first season...as most players will refuse to go. Next year we will see a mass exodus. Out: Anelka, Malouda for Free. Alex and Essien will be sold. Drogba could be cashed in on or might go for free if he doesnt sign the contract extension. I do not think, Kalou will be sold, because we are already losing 2 Wingers/forwards in Malouda and Anelka as their contract ends and could potentially lose Drogba too. Forwards for Next season: Torres, Lukaku, Mata, Sturridge, Kalou, and a New Winger/Kakuta.

No one is going out. They are getting fat pay checks and they r in the last year so they will rot on bench. Malouda and Anelka are in the last year of contract will leave next season. So would Drogba I beleive we will cash in on him. We will have a sort of exodus next season. Alex could leave too. Kalou may or may not leave. But for this season, Kalou, Anelka, Malouda will stay. Kakuta HAS to go on loan. There is no point keeping him on bench. So does McEchran. They both need to go and play an entire season.

Not at all.. Mata is a Better Looking version of Rooney with a well groomed Hair and No Elephant Ears.

Juam Mata and Wayne Rooney.

I aint a fan of his yet. Hopefully he proves me wrong.

You mentioned our players were never suited for 4-3-3. I said they are suited for 4-3-3 its just that Lampard has lost his form and we need one midfielder in the middle who can dictate the play

Hence I gave you the two types of Wingers, The likes, of Robben, Messi, Neymar, Ronaldo, Hazard, Turan, Gotze, Sturridge, Nani they all start on the wings. but then cut in. Why? cus they are direct and can take on the defenders. Malouda, Mata, Valencia, Downing, Young are pure wingers, their game is not suited to cut in cus they are not direct. They rely more on passes and link up play. Hence I said, we need a similar player like Sturridge who can take on a defender from the left wing and cut in side. Mata is not the type who will dribble past that defender, his style is similar to Malouda's

Bit Ironic when you said that I have no clue about football. Neymar plays on the left wing and cuts inside, while Messi plays on the Right wing and cut inside and has license to move around. Barcelona dont play 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 for Messi to play as second striker. Same with Santos. Gotze plays on the Right of the front three. He played there for Germany when he scored the goal few days back. He also can play centrally as an attacking midfielder just like Malouda can play centrally as No.8 and so can Mata and Nasri., Stop referring to Wiki...

4-3-3 doesnt suit us? Whats next? Drogba cant play as Target Man? These players have played 4-3-3 and have flourished in 4-3-3. When this team was flourishing in 4-3-3 guess who was pulling the strings in the midfield? Yes, Frank Lampard. Guess who has been dire in the midfield for past season and the previous two games? Frank Lampard. To say that we cant play 4-3-3 is Stupid. Wescored Goals galore in that formation and everytime we played well in 4-3- Frank was in top form. At the moment Frank is not the same player. Last season we missed him and his creativity. And past two games has been the same issue. We need a midfielder who can pull the strings and control the game from the midfield.

True, but the Thread Title to be more specific, makes me Lol. Cus there aint no difference yet.

Same players, sane formation, same performances. There is nothing to elaborate as we are continuing the end season form. The only difference is Fernando Torres who infact is playing much better in a Shit team and has no support.

This thread makes me Lol.

And AVB prefers his fullbacks going forward and hence Bosingwa is preferred to Ivanovic

There are two types of wingers one who are explosive with that I mean, pacy, direct, dribblers who take on defenders. Robben, Neymar, Hazard, Turan, Ronaldo, Gotze. Yeah he is a winger and he plays centrally too. Then there is the other type. Who aren't so explosive like Malouda, Young, Downing, Figo, Mata, an the likes. We need the first breed of wingers

I would prefer, a stuttering start and then picking up the momentum than, starting off steam rolling and then running put of gas in november. Team DOES NOT need MATA. We already have a similar player in Malouda. We need an explosive Winger like Hazard or Gotze who can run at defenders and dribble past them. Such wingers are helpsul in breaking down rigid defense. Sturridge would have made a difference but unfortunately he is out.

Atrocious First Half. Nothing has changed from last season. Same Formation, Same Players only different manager. Which begs the question, did chelsea do the right thing by firing Ancelotti.? They could have brought in Mata and Modric for Carlo too....But anyways Good: Hilario, Ramirez, Mikel, Bad: Drogba (Was he even playing?), Lampard, Ugly: Kalou. I have absolutely no clue why he starts... Torres, was decent and much much better than Drogba but the midfield with a Poor Lampard is just dire. Absolutely no creativity. Malouda and Anelka were OK.

Did you see Mata around? I am sure Kaloue is a Beast in Training, no wonder Carlo and AVB keep starting him..

Tbh I don't see how Mata is different from Malouda apart from being 8 years younger. Both aren't your typical pacy wingers who are direct and neither are they any good at dribbling past the defenders. We needed Hazard or Gotze. I don't believe we missed Turan who was much cheaper

It does not work if you directly enter talkchelsa.net. But when I entered the website as www.talkchelsea.net it works. Never mind it works now. You the man Jim!!

We need a World Class starter? Really? Behind Torre, Drogba? You think a world classfinisher is going to warm the bench? Look at the 3rd and 4th strikers around and you will know that none of them are world class. So you are picking faults in the goals he scored? As if other strikers never scored while offside. Oh and wait Lampard has 50 of his goals that were deflected. FYI. Solskajer was a class finisher but like Kalou not good enough to start. If he was that great he would have started ahead of Cole and York. But e was better off coming off the bench like Kalou. Can you point out 5 big games in which Solskjaer scored since you claimed above that he did so in so many big games? I'll start off with Champions League Final vs Bayern. List me atleast 3 more if not 4 more

De Bruyne looks certain to join. Regarding Hazard, he is my preference. Either him or Gotze would do

I did include him as part of the forwards

Very true. in 5 years we may have a squad as below In goalkeepers: Cech, Courtouis, Turnbull Defense: Luiz, Chalolbah, Ivanovic, Rajkovic, Bertand, PVA, We need a right back, Billy Clifford. Midfield: Ramirez, Mikel, Romeu, McEchran, Kakuta, Modric, Connor Clifford. Forwards: Lukaku, Studge, Hazard, Piazon, De Bruyn, and a Striker
