Brazil have got better individuals but Spain still play better as a team imo. It will be a very good match up though if they come against each other tbh. I still fancy Brazil to win the Olympics though, especially if Spain get put out !!!

Rami, Hazard and Ashley are my 3 from Chelsea!

Yeah he has had the same injury on his knee 2 or 3 times. Still he has got a lot of years left in him, hopefully he can get close to what he was before. I would rather he stayed than going out and signing Tiote as it would be hard as fuck to convince Newcastle to sell for him less than 20-25 million. Also Tiote is good yes but I think hes overrated slightly (especially by Newcastle fans). He wouldn't plug the gap the old Essien did, he would be a second rate option imo. If we were going to replace Essien it would have to be someone who is nearly is/as good as he was a few years back and the only player suitable would be Yaya Toure (who is playing for cunting Man City sadly). I'd keep one eye on Victor Wanyama though, guys defos got talent I just don't know if he'll develop into a pure beast like old Ess! Hes only 20 now but he has the attributes to be considered.

There aren't thousands of players like Essien. Tiote, Yaya Toure and perhaps even Ramires (not exactly the same) are the closest players to Essien. Plus if Essien got back to his old form he'd be better than all of them. So basically if your willing to take a "second rate" player in Tiote (who we would have to play a whole shitload of dosh to Newcastle for) rather than wait and see if the Bison gets back to his previous self then you sir are crazy. The last 2 years were very start and stop for him, he had injuries in both seasons that held him back so I'd wait and give him this season to see if he can regain his form, hopefully in an injury free season.

Everyone included Hazard in their teams, right?

If Essien gets back to his former self we would be fucking INSANE to sell him. He looked class yesterday, yes its only one game but if he plays like that against AC Milan, MLS all stars, Brighton and perhaps Man City we'd be daft to let him go. He was one of the greatest midfielders about a few years ago, form is temporary class is permanent Remember he just came back from that major injury too. Also with all these technical players who aren't as great physically we need more players like him who can bully opponents, if we were to play Stoke City with Hazard, Marin, Mata and Oscar in the team, they would get knocked off the ball rather easy.

Oh lol. I remember when he came on against Scotland last year in London I thought he was ok tbh but it was against Scotland right enough.

I see that article mentions something about Leandro Damiao's future not being to certain either. Why don't we move for both, would sign a great partnership in Oscar and Damiao and a player who could challenge for the striking spot (since Lukaku looks like hes going on loan to Fulham).

Missed the first 30 minutes but most of the second half was good for us. Flo, Ashley, Marin and Essien were all good when they came on. Anyway what I seen from that match: Cole is still class (we all knew that). Malouda can still play semi decent (sort of ) Essien is looking much much better than he did last season. Marin looks absolute fucking quality for 6 million. Sam Hutchinson isn't good enough to be our back up right back. We still get muddled up a lot in defense. 1-1 decent result suppose, PSG will be thinking how did they not score more in the first half though. Second half was good for us though. Plus its pre-season though so we can only expect to see it get better I suppose

Kono's alright, sure what he said wasn't nice but still he contributes good posts here and there and has good banter in the Australia thread. Anyway I think we should have "official thread derailing police" people yeah....

Thanks, its like 35395939638683539503q8290593286923 times better already. :blue scalf:

Anyone got a link that isn't fucking shit? Sick of this one lagging like fuck, its terrible.

Joined! My team = godly!

What a fucking legend, looking forward to seeing him rip Piers Morgan. Fucking knobend Piers is hahahaha

Chelsea 3 PSG 1 Chelsea to kick ass.

DEAR FELLOW FORUM USERS, THIS IS A ROBIN VAN PERSIE THREAD, NOT THE FERNANDO TORRES THREAD. WANT TO TALK ABOUT TORRES FUCK OFF TO THE TORRES THREAD THANKS RAGE OVER.

Don't know when this quote is from but what a legend hahaha Eden Hazard: "I was aware of Arsenal's interest in me, but in my career I aim to win several trophies. That isn't possible there."

Isn't Azpi not the captain of the Spanish Olympics team? Future Chelsea captain if we sign him?

Loan move to Wick Academy ? my local team btw, yous probably have never heard of them.

Hahahahhahaha class!! "Please, please, suck ma wullie" hahahahaha

Sick as fuck. RIP to everyone who lost their lives in this bizarre but horrific event, why would you kill people at a batman premiere.

I am sorry Read somewhere that Oscar thinks his place in the Brazilian national team could be in jeopardy if he goes to Chelsea and doesn't play as often. Yet again I read that on twitter so fuck knows if its true or not. Sounds like it could be though because well look back a year ago Ganso was their number 10, had bad form and lost his place to Oscar.

Seen on twitter that we've had a 6 million bid accepted which rises to 9 million, don't know what to believe but I'll post it at least!

Unfortunately I cannot watch this as it contains content from Channel 5 and the bastards have banned it in Scotland due to copyright laws. Fucking cunts!!!

Wouldn't say Lewandowski is a lesser deal tbh, hes one of the best strikers in Europe atm.
