Ozil was the only real No.10 at Madrid. Of course, Mourinho would play him and he fits in anyway. As for not supposedly not wanting Mata, all of those came from persistent and annoying BS rumours by the media. Yes, admittedly they do create that element of doubt but Mourinho has said as much about Mata's qualities and how he fits into his plans, wanting him to stay. And let's just see how he is used and fares under Mourinho after the international break before we all go outrightly claim he doesn't like Mata.

Why on earth are we even considering negotiating with liverpool

Can't believe the mentality of you guys. Sturridge should not be sold. The lad has an eye on goal, a strong shot (on both feet), trickery, speed, and strength. Now name me another English international besides Rooney that is capable of his skill.

$50m up for grabs on the Powerball tonight. I have the winning numbers!

LOL at all the lads who were begging us to sell studge and are now giving him credit.

Exactly my thoughts. The moment I entered the [compare with an awesome barca player] zone, my face was palmed.
One of my favourites was:
Lukaku vs Seattle - the new Drogba
Lukaku vs PSG - the new Heskey
what a difference one game makes

We should definitely go for Demba Ba who has a release clause of 7m pounds

I just cannot help but laugh at line ups like this.
So all our midfielders and forwards are attacking minded?, and Lampard is not a true defensive minded player, he's just alternate. That's a formation what will give us much more trouble than we can give trouble.

It will be one of the greatest regrets of all chelsea fans if we let danny boy go and he knocks in 18-25 goals for another premier league side, which we all know he is fully capable of.

No, he's a striker and that's where he should be played. Ramires is the best right winger at the club, and Hulk isn't that much better than him to justify paying 40 million for.

One of my favorite moments from yesterday was Garry fighting with the ref to stay on the pitch to defend a corner despite needing medical attention. If this guy is not captain material, no one is.

The block against Gomez I think, with his head! Just like JT, doing anything possible save the team. The future captain, no doubt about this.

This is it. I waited for whole of January fixtures to finally form my opinion on him holding some tiny hopes he could get a tap in or something that would get him going.
As we have seen, 0 goals in 2012. It's a complex thing with Torres and us but I think most of us feel like this.
There are no more excuses for Torres. Unlucky. Not getting chances. Trying hard. Assisting. He is a liability in our team. His mind is destroyed and he doesn't have any faith in himself anymore. You need to trust in yourself for people to trust in you and I don't think he is going that right now. He has lost his pace and speed and looks nervous whenever he plays.
Yes, we keep playing him he will eventually do something decent and perhaps score a few goals, but this is a 50 million pound striker on a 175 000 pounds per week! This is a player who is supposed to lift our whole team like Van Persie does at Arsenal. He is supposed to drag everyone else, not get dragged by them.
Has he actually done anything to earn the support he has received from us? No, absolutely nothing. A goal here and there, huge wage bill, a big empty spot in our bank and probably disagreements in the dressing room.
Kalou gets out, tries hard and actually does decent even managing to get a goal - he sucks.
Torres gets out, makes a few runs and dribbles - he's MOTM.
Bosingwa gets out and actually does decent - he is still shit.
Torres gets out and plays like shit - at least he is trying hard.
Didier Drogba, a man who has scored 150 goals for our club does not have a banner at the Bridge. Guess who has?
Aw you guessed it right:

No matter what do you feel about Bosingwa, Malouda, Kalou and others, these are the players who won titles with us and helped our club. They gave some great performances in the past and when they leave I will wish them all the best in the rest of their careers and thank them for their contribution. It's unfair that they get so much more criticism then someone who has not earned a fraction of the support he has received from us.
I have highlighted this before and I will do it again. Just look at Arsenal. They have a shit squad, yet they are winning thanks to Van Persie. It is a pure and clean example of just how much it's important to have a striker who is on form.
We win? The press says Chelsea win as Torres struggles to score
We lose? The press says Chelsea losses as Torres fails to find the net
He is keeping Sturridge away from his position. He is keeping Lukaku from his position and both of them are ready to step up.
I am sick of everything. I used to love him. He was my favorite non Chelsea player and now I hate him.
Nobody is bigger then the club.
Thank you and goodbye Fernando from me, you have been breaking my heart for a full year and tonight it has snapped.

I just hope his tornado run made AVB realise his does deserve 10 to 15 minutes of playtime every game. Maybe a start against QPR in the FA Cup, don't see it happening though.

I'm home for the holidays and I was watching a Ramires video on youtube. My younger brother (who thinks he's ghetto when he clearly isn't) doesn't follow football but peeked over my shoulder and casually said, "damn, that nigga* fast."
*nigga isn't offensive among youth in the USA.

I only realised last night how integral this boy is to our team. That is coming from a massive fan of the player. I think a lot of other Chelsea fans will stand up and take notice of his qualities even more, now. Goalscorer and driving force of the team.

Yesterday we saw why i rate Ramires as our Player of the Season, his midfield play is vital for us. Our midfield is way to static with Lampard - Romeu - Meireles

I personally want to meet every hater who wrote him off this time last year and stick humble pie down their throat.
Looking at our next team the first key players already seem to be emerging Luiz, Romeu, Ramires, Danny, Mata. Vital we keep all them fit this season.

City fans are becoming as bitter as United supporters, love it!

Scousers, City fans, Utd fans... Any way, there are all the same. After all, they are all inbreeds from up-North, aren't they ?

Anyone think Chelsea should reward him with the #11 shirt, once Drogba leaves?
