I still remember how he arrived, the man from Valencia who could cross, and I still remember when he was tearing the league apart. He was our first signing towards the right direction, at a time when the squad was at its most stagnant and lacklustre, he was the spark of light we so desperately needed. He was so important to us and so head and shoulders above the rest, that all of our attacks went through him. No matter what, Juan had to play, or we were not the same. I believe he was the first signing that kickstarted our new era and direction. Everybody, including the usual antagonists, was praising him. "Magician" was the word thrown around a lot. At that time we laughed when somebody claimed Silva to be better, but now things are the opposite even among our fans. Sad for the guy, and what a nice guy he was. A model personality. What went wrong? I don't think anything went wrong, football happened. But he deserves better and he's not going to get it at United.

Another example of how big decisions should be left to the manager. If it was up to us, Lukaku would be our "star" striker.

Tools are there, talent is there, attitude and mentality are not there. Seems to be a case of another pampered young star.

Thanks for the offer, but I prefer to make my own with players heads replaced by animal heads.

I think Matic is the most handsome just so adorable, he's probably sad because his daddy never praises him.

Did he join or is about to join a direct rival or what do they mean?

Good job We Hate Scouse How many full days did you manage to be in power before destroying everything?

I understand you now live in the States, are you crip or blood?

@Unionjack, your signature is brilliant.

http://theblues.chelseafc.com/landing/hazard-competition.shtml Can anybody find Estonia in the countries list? I can't, yet there are such countries present like Fiji, East Timor and Kiribati among others. I'm insulted

Any one out of Hazard, Matic, Fabregas and Costa really. Those four have made the biggest impact for us this season and I believe they will continue to do so for years to come. Very very difficult to choose between them because if you take one out of the team, we are completely different. Maybe Costa the least because we have adequate cover for him, but that's beside the point, because taking into consideration everything, Costa has been absolutely brilliant. Can I nominate all four?

Nikola Maksimovic, Höwedes, Subotic, Hummels?

When I see saves like that, and they do happen once in a while, then I don't understand what's so special about the Gordon Banks save against Pele in a world cup. Are the only reasons of that save being so hyped because it was England and on the opposite side it was the great Pele? And even when people talk about that save, they speak like it was physically impossible to pull off... how come? Some of the saves Cech has made throughout his career have defied laws of universe, the one Banks made was good, but the more I watch replays of it, the less impressed I am considering the hype of it being "the greatest save of all time".

I still have no idea what you're talking about. Can't stand the thought of losing Marina, in fact we need more Russian women at the club.

She on drugs?

WHY? WHAT?

Given he's apparently bound to Real Madrid after signing a 5,5-year contract, is it now the right time to start thinking about replacements? Luckily we still have Marin on our books, so we're golden even if we don't sign a replacement.

Sorry, have to disagree here. Fabregas is usually clearly the deeper one. Defensively it doesn't matter, our formation is then anyway all 5 back doing whatever necessary to get the ball and help to defend. Offensively in transition: Fabregas - Matic Willian - Oscar - Hazard In final third looking for the breakthrough: Matic Willian - Fabregas - Oscar - Hazard True Oscar drops deep sometimes, but in general Fabregas is deeper. I think if you look at some games' average position graphics, you would see it.

Marina Granovskaia She got some massive balls (granted, in her ears, but still).

This depends on who is better prepared and suited for the match. We have no way of knowing that.

Relax guys, Jose's got this.

I thought he shat all over Luka. As did Cech... twice.

Single-footedly saved us 2 points. Legend.

Has Matic always been this good?
