If hes desperate to move like his mum and dad say, he should fucking hand in a transfer request and stop being a little bitch. Fuck their 60 odd million price tag, an unhappy player not wanting to be there should make them lower their price.

Hes been doing it all tournament. Against Italy to win that freekick he scored, he basically dived. Was a slight bit of contact and he jumped up and fell over as if he'd been mauled.

Carlo firstly has to get Madrid to play as a team and not rely on Ronaldo's goal scoring. Ultimately that was a big factor to Jose's down fall this year along with other things. The team was built around Ronaldo obviously but he cannot carry a team for a full season. The year they won La Liga, Benzema and Higuain both scored a lot more goals, Ozil had more assists and they also kept more clean sheets in comparison to this year.

Wait has all this started because I said Drogba was one of the laziest bastards I've ere seen at times in the Cavani thread?

Or have that bastarding Porto president executed, what a cunt he is with all his massive release clauses.

I don't give a fuck about his work rate to be honest. Drogba was one of the laziest bastards I've ever seen in my life, especially 2 or 3 seasons ago, but he provided the goods then so it doesn't matter for me. Why care about a strikers work rate? If they can score goals and help others score goals fuck their work rate.

40 odd million for Mangala? We could buy 50% of Porto for that surely.

Obviously Paulinho is a good player by the time he starts ahead of Ramires, Lucas Leiva, Fernando (Porto), Hernanes, Fernando (Shakhtar) etc etc. Didn't rate him at first look but don't judge a book by the its cover. Hes impressed me for most games hes featured in with Brazil that I've seen. Some players take the quick route to the top, like Messi, who was a phenomenon at a really young age and some others take their time, like Drogba did, didn't really achieve anything until he was around 23 or 24 in France.

Didn't he not call Choulo Bin Laden up there? I'd imagine thats why.

Lukaku was £13m upfront, not £10m. Still a bargain in a way as he will surely become a top top player here.

Well himself and his managers at club and country probably do...

Point is he is scoring goals. He struggled to score against shit teams last year didn't he ? Not saying hes gonna score tonnes of goals or that this year but at least hes scoring goals albeit against Tahiti and Nigeria.

A pointless comment to make don't you think supposing Germany isn't in the tournament?

Loan him to a side that pass the ball in either England, Holland or Spain. Someone like Swansea or Ajax would be ideal but yet again Swansea are set to sign that Jose Canas guy from Betis on a free transfer and I'm not sure if Ajax would take him.

I reckon he'd probably get more games at Chelsea especially if Romeu goes out on loan. Can't see Carlo just selling Alonso and Khedira like that in his first season. Very much depends on whether Chelsea or Madrid or whoever else have bid/agreed a deal or what not though. 8 million euros would be an awesome deal for any club.

Isn't his release clause not only 17 million euros or something? Would be a steal from what I've heard about him.

Ok it seems 4-3-2-1 doesn't seem too popular hahahahhahahahahahahaha

He also used 4-3-2-1 too at Milan I'm sure.

Could be an option for Carlo, Ronaldo comes inside a lot anyway to get shots off so playing him in a free role he could do whatever he wants could make him even better. He could also go out wide still and stretch teams.

Perhaps Carlo can use the 4-3-2-1 he used at Milan, with Carjaval and Marcelo/Coentrao providing width. Modric-Khedira/New DM-Alonso --------------------------------------- ------Isco/Ozil-----Ronaldo------ --------------------------------------- --------------Benzema-------------

I don't think Lampard and Essien will be regulars next season. Maybe get 15-20 appearances each.

Little technique? They are the one team that has given Spain a good game in this competition they were confident, getting on the ball and passing it around quite well. I wouldn't say they lack technique but just some of their decision making was awful, they are actually a good side Nigeria. They could have done a bit better in the second half maybe but hey who has played as well as they have in the first half against Spain in recent times?

Totally agree about Chelsea needing MF players. Lampard makes a decent option for rotation but hes very much harder to fit into a 4-2-3-1 as he isn't really an energetic box to box player like Ramires. He likes to attack but often forgets his defensive duties which leaves either Mikel/Ramires/Luiz exposed. I'd like to see Chelsea look at the likes of Gundogan/Illarramendi/Pjanic/or someone else in that mould to play next to either Mikel/Romeu/De Rossi (if we sign him, which I reckon would be a quality signing) but I'm not sure now with the incoming transfer of Van Ginkel who is very much capable of playing as a 6, 8 or 10. I am certain he won't play as a 10 so perhaps hes going to be our 8 or maybe even our 6 as he done for the Dutch u21s a few times in the u21s championship. I'd personally love to see a pivot of De Rossi - Gundogan but obtaining both players looks very very very difficult. Also I think we could use a left footer on the left side of our pivot just as we could do with the left side of our CBs to give the team more balance but thats just me.

Really? I thought Jose played him there a lot. I know under Carlo he played a much more there too, he became a key player under Carlo imo.

He always makes runs on the shoulder of the last defender, attacks crosses, shoots regularly etc for Spain in comparison to with us.....
