Aww would you fuck off with your stupid Kevin De Bruyne shit nobody gives a fuck, he wasn't good enough here hence why hes not fucking here, jesus christ people think its like we had Messi and sold him for peanuts or something.

Kenedy at LB is just madness but yeah, plenty games to go yet, calm your fucking beans.

Think he's a good CB but would be a better fit if he was 4 or 5 years younger, pretty sure he's at least the same age as Cahill. Still though hes not a bad option.

Lets be honest, Everton have missed a trick 30M+ plus for a pretty average English CB with a bit of potential, idiots.. I bet they don't get an offer like that next summer. Its not like Southampton who could have easily kept Shaw for another year and still got 32M. Really don't see why Martinez has been so stubborn, he could easily invest 30-40M in his squad and quite frankly they need it.

I thought there was games last season where Cesc was better than Matic and so far this season I'd say the same. Its easy to say Cesc has let Matic down but I really think Matic has let Matic down, his positioning and reactions at times are like mind blowingly awful. He hasn't quite been the same since Christian Eriksen gave him the run about in December or January whenever it was. He just looks disinterested in some games.

Ridiculous. City might as well tell their owner to hand over his personal fortune to Wolfsburg.

No chance, I reckon he'd probably struggle to play for some of the teams in the bottom half of that league yet alone Valencia. He should go on loan to the championship, we missed a trick when Stoke wanted him when we negotiated for Begovic because it looked like Mark Hughes might of actually used him. I don't think he should be in the squad BUT he does have a bit of potential, he should of gone on loan to Stoke if there was assurances he would play though because technically he's still not great but physically he's at a level where maybe he could cope with the PL. Courtois' development is a good way to go but you look at how he developed: he was clearly a top talent in the beginnings and two he was playing every week for Genk for about 2 seasons where he was heavily relied on at times. Then he went to Atletico and kept on improving before making it back here as our undisputed number 1. Ruben is a top player in the u21s division but that means little outside of the u21s, I don't regard him anywhere near as good as Tibo in regards of talent or even guys like Boga/Charly Musonda. but yeah Courtois Regular at Genk -> signed by Chelsea, loaned to Atletico for 3 years, was a regular -> back to Chelsea, plays regularly. Ruben has played well for the u21s but the jump from u21s to Valencia would be too much. I think not loaning him to Stoke was really a mistake in all fairness.

Marko fucking shite Marin is more appropriate.

Bet you he has a good year in Italy. Like Salah. Just so much slower over there and there's more time for attacking players, hence why Gervinho has also looked decent for for Roma in spells.

Probably gonna leave after a pretty unproductive and frustrating spell in Germany, read that he struggled with the intensity and pace of the Bundesliga and wants out of Chelsea.

Zouma needs a partner in the future though, he can't play CB by himself. I'm not as big a fan of Stones as others, hes not a 30M CB or a 40M CB but we need another one cause of JTs age and the fact Cahill is also 29. Ivanovic will always play RB unless we are desperate. Kalas has never been top 4 quality though, he played against Suarez in a B team against a Liverpool team who were their biggest downfall, they didn't know how to play against a team who sat like that, didn't know how to manage the game, they always tried to force it, without a plan b and were more intent on criticising us as anti football than looking at the game in another way as to how they could improve against teams who were intent on frustrating them. It was a one off performance by him at that sort of level unfortunately because if he was at that level he would be here but there's a reason why he's in the championship again on loan. KDB and Mata didn't play as number 10s under Mourinho other than Kevin in pre-season but for reasons known/unknown he didn't make it here and Mata ended up going to United, can't help that. Mata hasn't played as a number 10 at United yet either, so it looks like Jose's decision to not use him as that is justified despite Oscar's inconsistencies he looked more at home there under Jose than Mata did under Jose. Ake is a weird one, midfielder, left back, center back? Too lightweight for center back, good option for a LB or a DM possibly but he needed games to develop, he has been wasted in the u21s or reserves here for too long and other than the loan to Reading hes needed more loan deals to play and we needed another LB so Baba was bought, can't pass judgement on someone who I've never seen but he could be a good option for us. Well Lukaku asked to leave after the super cup penalty shoot out. I'm guessing he would of learned a great deal more off Eto'o and still got regular minutes considering it was Eto'o, Torres and Ba as the other options and Ba was denied a loan deal to Arsenal due to the fact we would of only had 2 strikers. Lukaku isn't right, he would of been second choice behind Diego Costa, which means he would of played about 35 games last year considering Drogba was the most regular striker in terms of appearances. He had the chance to be number 2, play regularly but decided not to stay, which is weird and why I questioned his ambition.. so hes not exactly spot on, if you're wanted in the squad by the manager aged 21 but you want assurances about being number 1, you have to consider yourself a pretty special player if you think you should be playing ahead of Diego Costa, fresh of the back of a 30+ goals in that season, vital to Atletico's title win. If he was going to get as many games as he got under AVB/Di Matteo in 11-12 I'd see the point but he would of figured in more than 30 games last season if he stayed here. But yeah, if Manchester United get Neymar I'll eat my shoe.

Scored big goals for us last year when he was needed but he has been dropped for a has been. I suppose we should of seen it coming though, Drogba going was always going to require us signing another striker... getting Falcao and using him more than Remy though, hmm.

Is it just me who feels like watching Falcao play now a days, is like watching an injured animal try and run? Is Mourinho perhaps trying too hard to prove he's a top manager by trying to revive Falcao's career when he could have gone for another player whilst trying to retain the PL title? Sure he's 3 games into his Chelsea career but we seen at United last year too nothing was right for him either.

No he isn't. I'm sorry but that's laughable mate, he's a good player but if he is at the same sort of level as Varane then the Frenchman has fallen significantly in 2 or 3 years. He's a going to be a good player in a few years but the way you go on about him it's like he is the second coming of jesus.

I never once said we couldn't afford it... fucking hell. if Jose really wanted him he'd have already bid the 100M or whatever and he'd be here. I don't think he's bid the 100M euros because he doesn't want him, it's because he doesn't think he's worth the 100M euros. Thats my fucking point. So get that through your skull.

Do people realistically think we have a chance in signing a player with a 100M euro price tag? Not that we can't but the fact we won't mainly due the price tag and the boys ability doesn't make sense. If he was like a Messi or Ronaldo level player.. maybe but he's not. If he was worth the 100M euros do you think Jose wouldn't hesitate to even bid that?

For me, he should be plan A out of the two but I get the need for homegrown players in the squad.

People give a shit about his cost because he is not good enough (and probably won't ever be) to be worth that. Mentioning those guys like Neymar, Di Maria and Bale before they got then they had huge potential and have kicked on and now? Neymar: Brazil's best player and one of the best wingers in the world, Di Maria: one of the best wingers in the world, Bale: one of the best wingers in the world, Sterling already was England's best player at the World Cup and will probably go on to be the main guy in that team too at this rate but if you are trying to compare John Stones' price tag with theirs to try and justify that he is worth that sort of money then it is wrong. There is an elite level and then there is the one John Stones is/will be on. Barca, Real and City went and bought them players because they are going to be top top players. John Stones will never be worth a 40M outlay. I wasn't too sure about Sterling and doubted buying Shaw last summer but I really feel they will both go on and be really good players for their clubs and England in the future but don't see John Stones in that same way. He is composed and good on the ball for a center back but we've seen that before in David Luiz, it doesn't guarantee anything regarding defending, what I've seen of him from the last two seasons in particular and against City and Watford, he doesn't look anything like a top defender. He will end up being good but never good enough to have a 40M price tag justified. Otamendi cost 32M but hes already a top established CB, would have fancied him here tbh but it was obvious it was a shoot out between City and United. Hope if Stones doesn't end up coming we go after Laporte because he is going to be a great CB and already is at a pretty good standard.

Meh I think its all the same. He probably wouldn't hesitate to sell him for something like 40M if that chance came up.

They needed another more established CB to replace Distin and Alcaraz who left in the summer so I don't think he's a replacement for Stones.

but he also said he wanted those players to stay at various times too, take what Mourinho says with a pinch of salt because quite frankly his actions speak louder than words.

Should of definitely scored but goals will come. He's not particularly a player known for scoring goals so Pedro's capture should ease that burden on him (fancy him to get at least 10 goals) although he does need to start putting the ball in the net a bit more because Willian's undoubtedly a top player and the signs of Pedro-Willian-Hazard looked very promising but there will be games where we'll play terrible and need 1 goal. He was playing with more responsibility last season after January though and I hope he can get back to that performance level.

Just like Mata, Torres, Filipe Luis, Luiz etc, when Jose said he counted on them? I think if there's a really good offer for Oscar he will be sold, he is not exactly a guy who cannot be replaced easily considering the fact there are many number 10s out there and also deeper midfield players who could come in for us to go to a 4-3-3 possibly. Its is interesting, don't see Pogba coming here at all though.

If they are now going to let him go get him for as cheap as possible and make the cunts pay us the rest of that Lukaku fee too. That will show them for attacking JT, Cahill and Jose over this transfer saga.

He has been pretty poor since the last few months of last season, not just this season... the same with Cesc but I think out of the two Matic was worse today, at least in phases Cesc gave us something going forward.
