Really looking forward to preseason..bringing him in early to gel with the players not away at confederations cup and not on holidays will be good for him.. i can see big things from us this season

the release clause expiration also softens doesn't help napoli either cause everyone is aware that cavani is worth about 25-30 m euros less than his clause and if ADL wants to make a huge profit off him he will almost be forced to sell cause no one will go over 40m for cavani the clause is gone

It looks as if we can hold on and not cave to the release clause the clsoer we get to August 10th the less we would have to pay for him as his clause expires on the 11th.. the only issue is that we will be well into our preseason preperations and he won't have a lot of time to gel with the team if he is to come in

No matter what good he has done ( which has been mentioned many times in the past) will not make up for all the lack lusture performances over the last two and half seasons... but it can be said we in this forum have been pretty harsh on the man due to this, every goal he scores either brings "he's back" or the opposite "pub team" "the game was killed"... maybe because its torres that either side can't look at it objectively but he does need to go.. The Torres experiment did not work and we need to cut loses.. I still like Torres the person and even though he has been dismal for us I still like Torres the player so whether he is here or at another team I will always wish him the best

He scored vs Uruguay.. was beaten too it sorry in advance

U-20 World Cup

are you in the US or Canada.. cause with Rogers sportsnet World I never missed any game for anyteam I cared to watch cause they added 9 additional channels to sportsnet world play a different match on each one

and they also have sandro who before injury was starting in brazil NT ahead of paulinho

me too thats why i as well got the oscar 13-14

Torres consoling the GK after he messed up for the villa goal was a great gesture!! we may dislike him as a footballer and as a part of our team but don't get that confused for what a decent guy he actually is which I feel a lot of us forget

man this whole ``switching off`` :cfc: thing with Luiz is so overrated even some of the worlds greatest defenders had moments where they switched off and I`m talking before age crept in and most stayed with their clubs until retirement.. The offer is fantastic but not to be considered why sell someone who other teams rate so highly when we don`t actually need the funds we are not bolton we have a budget.. Luiz has consisently gotten better since he arrived here and now we underrate his contributions to the team.. and like someone said before luiz is part of the new spine of this team lets face it the old guard are being put out to pasture one at a time and some have gone as far as said can see him being the captain of the team.. if that doesn`t scream spine of the team then I dunno what does.. All in all Luiz must stay if you all really still want us to play attractive football out the back and build our own identity in world football that people will call the Chelsea Way!!

I agree another reason schurle and de bruyne back makes sense

Have met Alan Shearer as well..hes a real cool guy to talk to

Pssh my own country stopped calling me up to training camps at like 22 because I was in University and not playing in europe.. Discouraged on all fronts haha

25 to old now played in University in America after my pro dreams died now I am just a supporter :cfc:

ya i was going to use it as my launching pad to play for chelsea :blue scalf: didn't work out as my british citizenship didn't come in time

I had a 2 week trial at newcastle united when I was 16 that was extended to 3 months after I got there and trained

company in his first few season in england with city played in midfield as a holding player couldn't get into the team until he was turned into a CB and now you see he is a ball playing CB

now that united have thrown their name in there he is now rated @ £15m he was £8 last week the medis is such utter tripe..

and his views and views of other "experts" or pundits have our own fans thinking selling luiz is a good idea because we could use 45m euros

i wonder if ppl in napoli thread are as adamant about selling someone like hamsik when there is no real need like ppl are are about selling luiz again when there is no real need? lets sell our best cb so we can buy another cb and still face the issue of who to pair the new guy with that we did with DL last season that makes a whole lot of sense

great read particularly like this part " He contested nearly 600 duels in the Bundesliga. Only seven strikers managed more this season and his duels won percentage (43) is one of the highest in his position." if he can do that with us we will for be retaining possession

now we know why barca puts buy back clauses in their youth players contracts so you don't have to pay 40m euros to get em back if they turn out into studs... oh hindsight how i dislike you

still no news on medical and if he agreed to personal terms yet?

It is really sad watching older games and john obi mikel play and you could see he is a shadow of the player he was.. if we can get anything between 15-20m euros for him I say we take it. I don't have hate for the player and I will not celebrate his departure if he does leave but I do believe it is time for us to go in a different direction w/out him
