Come on guys - five rep points for signing up

There is a now a reserves and youth team player profiles forum where you can get all the latest on the players. http://forum.talkchelsea.net/forum/60-player-profiles/

Esk, how do you rate Todd's chances of playing for the first team? At this rate I can't see anything other than him actually breaking through, he has the talent and the self-belief to achieve that. But what's your honest opinion?

Oh no I agree with you there, the poll obviously has to have as many English players as possible remember

Piazon needs to work on his game in two key areas; his upper body strength (he isn't half as physical as he ought to be) and his general off-the-ball running; he's far too lazy in that respect!

Because he's been quietly outstanding for Tottenham this season, yet quite easily one of their best players? He's been a fantastic acquisition for them. In all seriousness, really excited that we've got the best young prospect in the league in Danny!

You have incredibly limited perspective if you think I am satisfied by AVB and our season so far. But as a proper Chelsea fan I get behind the management. I find it too coincidental that the same players who underperformed under Ancelotti, leading to his sacking, are those who don't seem to give a shit under Villas-Boas, either. AVB is a young, ambitious manager with a long term plan, and it is about time we show some patience. The Abramovich era has spoilt many fans.

I wouldn't worry about it guys. In all reality there is only one contender for the award anyway (van Persie). Sturridge has definitely been 2011's 'young player'.

The irony...

Pepe Reina is the best in the league yet he makes clangers as well...

If the two of them leave, it will be AVB's greatest achievement; nothing he does will ever top it, not even five back-to-back Champions League titles could surpass the happiness I will experience when the likes of Bosingwa, Malouda, Kalou, Mikel and company are shipped off.

Absolutely, Jack will become a great player, I think his development has been hampered because I don't think he knows what his best position is.

What about Modric or Bale?!

Vincent Kompany is the best CB in the EPL.

Swansea would be a good experience for young Josh, they play a style of football where he could excel.

Spurs rely an awful lot on their counter-attack, without Bale and Lennon, they're utterly fucked. They were out of sorts against Sunderland without them and really struggled to create anything.

He's a better option than Mikel, as versatile as Essien as can also operate as a CB or box-to-box. Potential successor to Lampard, wouldn't be the worst signing in the world. He is a consistent performer for Everton however it is fair to say he has yet to live up to his billing.

AVB's substitutions were baffling in fairness. That game was made for Torres to come on... Wigan are a side that can deal with physicality but not with pace and movement.

Whoever buys them can have Mikel and Bosingwa for free as a Christmas gift.

It seems even a man who has won us game after game in his career isn't exempt from criticism after a couple of bad games. Everyone is on his back now, but I have seen him play far worse for us in the past. He is the greatest goalkeeper in our history... only a few weeks ago he put in one of his very best performances in a Chelsea shirt at Goodison Park, now he is useless and couldn't save a game on his PS3. Fucking behave.

Cahill, Modric, Hazard, Mario Gomez. £120 million for the four, thanks Roman.

The game is completely free to play. Plus there will be incentives for you to join - all members that register will receive a reputation boost should they prove their long-term activity in the game! Another plus point is the banter involved... people have often enjoyed the Mourinho-Ferguson bitching contests in the past, but nothing compares to the heated discussion of the discussion thread. See Arsene Wenger put to shame by Terminator X's 'didn't see it' rants or see BlueLion seethe in true Villas-Boas style over that refereeing howler... Signing up takes less than a couple of minutes, and you can soon be joining in with the action! (All members who do not sign up will be instantly banned.)

I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say that it gets a little easier after a loved one has been laid to rest. Thinking of you pal!

Thanks for the continued support, guys. As you can see, the money is going to great use but if we want to stay on this server we need your continued support, pledging £1 a month can go a massive way!

The loading times are fucking insane! Best test of this will be on Thursday night.... great work Jimlad!
