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

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

lets be honest if not for the injuries of the bison mikel would still be on the bench.. he has benefited the most from the absense of essien and his lack of form when he came back

Could it be possible that we formally haven't tabled a bid for him and this has all been paper nonsense.. im going to try my best to stay out of this thread until confederations cup is over or until uraguay get knocked out cause this is already raising my blood pressure

i'm looking forward to the andre schurrle chant that the fans will come up with i know someone is already thinking it up haha

if he stays with us this season as per whats been reported in the media does he qualify under homegrown status since we signed him as an 18 year old and hes had 2 seasons already in PL

Players all bought in the final year of their contract if we waited another season when there quite possibly been more competition for his signature we maybe could have paid something like £14m but paying 4m more for 2 years left on his contract is not bad

thread = derailed ... anymore news on Cavani?

any news on when he will be flying into london to agree terms and complete medical

i think that one is my favourite haha

I think this the the media putting two and two together again because of the link at barca b we'll have to wait and see if jose and the board approve this one

we also have to remember that a lot of these south american players that we are after all aspired to be madrid or barcalona because thats all they knew when growing up.. Its easy for us from Europe or NA to say the PL is the place to play but back before chelsea became a world contender there was always madrid.. saying that peoples dreams due change and with that said Cavani to Chelsea is what is what is required

More like shoe-ler

But that has nothing to do with what price we have been quoted over the past 3 weeks as being 20m or £17m for you.. And alex juat posted that we only paid £18.5m for him
