Really? I hadn't checked. That's A LOT better. That's reasonable. 3am kick offs are probably the worst because you don't know if you should stay up and then sleep afterwards or go to bed early and wake up for them. Either way you don't get nearly enough sleep!

I'd absolutely love to see City splash out 70m for Kevin.

That would take a change in system, specifically in our pressing, and possibly even change of personal. That is something we have absolutely no need to goo into right after we just won the league and cup double. Also, if there is one thing we've learned, or at least should have, from this past season is that Fabregas at number 10 sucks...HARD! Instead of making us more attacking he actually makes us more defensive because he simply doesn't have the pace to help the striker press the back four and hence the whole block is forced deeper as a result. Even offensively, he is a lot more consistent in his delivery from a deeper role than around the box unless the opposition have 10 men in the box.

Hahaha The things we do fo Chelsea!

See? Even Jose is pointing out how fat he's gotten! PS: This place seems to have painfully lost its sense of humor...

3 am kick off Going to bed at 5 only to wake up at 7:30 for work...brilliant.

This is a nice story:

Regardless, I find it absolutely delightful to read. Like a breath of fresh air.

People talking about Zouma's situation if we sign Stones, but it affects more, and really just ends the careers of Omeruo and Kalas at Chelsea. Shame, as both have shown that they can become great defenders.

I know everyone is frustrated with our lack of activity in the market while our rivals are making big signings, but as good as Vidal is, there is a very simple reason why we did not go after Vidal: Matic-Fabregas is a more balanced and suitable midfield for our team setup than either of Vidal-Fabregas which lacks positional discipline or Matic-Vidal which lacks creativity and passing range. At the same time, none of the three can be relegated to the bench.

Can't help but feel that people are building incredibly high false hopes and that he's getting loaned out after preseason. I hope I am wrong, though.

If it's really 15 or 16m quid it is an unbelievable piece of business by the club to get back what we overpaid for him last season. If it's a two-year loan, it would be one of the stupidest things we've done on the market in some time. So, I really don't know what to feel about this...

Yeah, for some reason we've planned it latter than everyone else. Not sure what the reasoning behind that was but maybe something to do with the post-season tour we did. But it's gotten so bad I actually watched Arsenal vs Everton in that Asian EPL trophy thing....

Scouts who's jobs are to watch players from afar, analyze and then pass judgement?

That's how it feels like every fucking time

Well that makes me feel better...NOT!

Yes, and people will stop comparing Oscar to other players and Mikel will get the appreciation he deserves, and the team will come onto the pitch before every match riding on unicorns!

Please don't elaborate on what happens next!

Oh, don't worry. You've still got A LOT more plastic to you!

I personally don't like girls that have done so much plastic surgery, but whatever floats your boat, mate!

Hahaha Tough guy over the internet, eh? I just love those! When you share an 'opinion' (fine, let's call it that) on a forum, expect it to be scrutinized. I'll tell you what I think is 'plastic': Having 'Mikel Out' as your title in your profile... And since you felt the need to tell me how to do my job, let me give you some advice: Lighten up, respect and appreciate the Chelsea players until the last minute they wear a blue shirt, and try to take an internet forum less serious and personal...

Of course we should make improvements if possible, but we shouldn't just sign 'new players' simply to replace 'old ones'.

Too much weed is killing your memory, Tom. You got me it as a gift!

But you don't want better players or players that will improve the team, you didn't say so. You said you want new players to replace 'old ones'. The issue for you is clearly not about quality but about novelty. What I understand from reading that post, which is quite honestly what I understand from reading most of your posts recently, is that you just want new signings even if they don't actually improve the team, just for the sake of signing new players whom you see as 'shinier' than our current players who have just helped us win the league. You sound like a spoiled brat throwing away his old toys. Your childishness only emphasized by your reference to Juve being my second team, as if that has anything to do with this. And I do want a couple of signings but only because I see we more quality in certain positions. I'd like to see most of all an attacking midfielder, most likely Pedro, Stones if possible as a future replacement for Terry, and a fullback if Luis decides to leave. However, I don't want any random new player or any big name just for the sake of wanting new players.

I am deeply offended, Tom! I am offended that you think I don't know what Fleshlights are and need to provide visual aid for me to recognize them!
