I fucking hate Spurs. 9M for Eriksen, what a deal that could be. Although in my eyes hes not as good as was made out a few years ago.

Believe we will need to go for an energetic team against Bayern, if we can press them high up they will cause themselves problems. That is the team I'd go for too, except for maybe Ivanovic in at CB instead of Luiz depending on fitness but I suppose Luiz can start attacks from defence.

I think he should play, no matter who we play. When we first signed him, Villas-Boas wasn't afraid to throw him on against United at Old Trafford although we lost and he didn't have much of an impact but he needs to get a chance against the bigger teams. As we seen at West Brom last year, he gave a lot of top CBs a problem; against United he got a hattrick, he terrorised Vertonghen last year (who was arguably the best CB in the league), he made a fool of Agger and Carragher at Anfield. I don't think he's ready to start 50-60 games for us but I feel hes more than ready to be given a chance to prove himself and show why he should start upfront. As Peace said perhaps Jose is protecting him, I can remember that 4-1 game we played under Robbie against Liverpool where he came on and missed a sitter. He received a lot of stick but he had very little PL experience at the time, hes went away and played regular football at West Brom and scored 17 goals. He outscored all Chelsea strikers last season. I think that warrants him a chance to prove himself, even if he just plays 25-30 games in all competitions this season.

Isn't it not a bit unfair to say that about Pogba who really put his career ahead of money or whatever as he was guaranteed games at Juventus. He wanted to get more games at United that season before his contract ran down but Fergie didn't give him much of a chance, Pogba went to Juve and flourished. I can remember he was linked with us in January when AVB was still in charge.. along with Montoya, Sergi Roberto and Defouelu or whatever who we were gonna give Barca Torres in return for (or some stupid reports would have you believe haha)

Luiz-Terry or Ivanovic-Luiz

Yeah I know but if he were to have a chance he'd have to be playing every week at a high level. Bets he won't start every week here.

Lucas and Bernard are both good players. Lucas will be at the 2014 world cup for sure I reckon. Not too sure about Bernard though but I can see him going, can't see Willian tbh. Lucas is so direct and stretches teams, unlike Hulk who cuts in on the right so he'll be there as hes something they don't really have.

He'd play minutes every week at Spurs, can't say the same with him here.

Hoping he can get minutes, don't see him going to the WC 2014 with Brazil tbh, dont think hes gonna play every game here. If he wanted a WC place he should have gone to Spurs. Still he is a quality player and I'm looking forward to seeing him play for us. Even if its not every game but you know. Also at least we didn't sign Will.I.Am now that would have been a Chelsea-esque cock up.

LMFAO UNITED WANT LUIZ never laughed so much

Thats true, I mean if we are getting Eto'o for 6m like what has been said then I'd prefer to spend 6m on someone as opposed to someone who will cost 35m. Its just will in say 2 years or so if Eto'o leaves we are still really going to be looking for another striker even if we keep Lukaku, Torres and Ba (the last two aren't great).

Lol... I seen the score on my phone and although they won, 120 minutes against Notts County? Jesus. Adam Coombes also scored for Notts (ex-Chelsea youth).

Ligue 1 is a good league for him to continue developing and gain more experience. Albeit playing with Sevilla he still really has the same chance.

I'd probably prefer Martinez in terms of age and the fact he'll get better as hes 26 or 27, going into his peak now.

Cant see him not getting a work permit. I mean Fernandinho got one and hes played like 3 games for Brazil in the last few years

He could be a great signing. Is he worth 34.8m? No, is he fuck but we can't get many other strikers cheaper than that. Hes either option B or option C.

We will win this one. Mourinho will reuse his tactics from last night (low block, counter attack) and play so we don't lose. I hope he gives Romelu a run out and drops Lampard. Was bad enough seeing Cleverly look good against him so never mind even thinking what will happen if one of Schweinsteiger, Martinez or Thiago plays.... I dont mind us being negative against teams like Bayern but not United who are only a striker better than us really.

I don't know, do you think Abramovich would be happy seeing over 100m worth of attacking talent in a team but playing a low defensive block, not taking any initiative and settling for 0-0? I am happy with a point but we could have had a better go at them for 3 points. They were certainly there for the taking. I suppose 1 point beats 0 points though but it could have been different if the approach was slightly different.

Raging that Lampard has played more or less 270 minutes of football in the last week and a bit. Hes got to be managed carefully I thought, not overplayed in games where hes not going to be effective (United and Villa) where there's going to be a lot of pressure on our midfield. Marco needs some games, we should have played him against Hull and Villa maybe not United but certainly against Hull and Villa.

I think we are the second club to bid for him tbh. Don't know why but I reckon we are lmfao.

Why is Jose scared to trust him in the big games? Just how it seems to me. Loan him or play him, simple as that. If hes good enough hes old enough, hes gotten like 10 minutes in 3 games, Jose obviously doesn't think hes good enough yet or he'd have started him upfront tonight surely? Or is he gonna start him in the Super Cup or even the next PL game?

Was unlucky with that chance he hit the bar with, obviously he was offside but it was a good hit and if he had gone a fraction later he would have timed his run perfectly. Some pros and cons with him upfront. Obviously hes very fast and good on the counter, not as strong and can't hold the ball up that well.

10/10 for effort tonight, didn't get much service. His runs off the ball were class though.

1 point is better than nothing 8 of our team didn't show up tonight. Sure Oscar and Schurrle didn't do much but in terms of work rate they were both superb. John Terry was immense for us as well. Is Mourinho scared to play Lukaku? What a waste of having him here if hes not gonna start games.... Also Jose stop fucking starting Lampard in these big games, hes been non existent since the first half against Hull... and we were playing fucking HULLL.

the most boringest clock work football ever. Everythings so obvious, pass pass long ball to Schurrle.
