Hutcho I just realized why your cool. Your from Kent too!

Has anyone got a link for this game? Would be much appreciated. Thank You!

Would it be wrong to say that the 'Torres was playing badly because of Drogba being the main man at the club' was actually just a story the media invented and wouldn't lay to rest? It could be a possibility that Fernando was just playing badly and it had nothing to do with there being two main strikers at the club but in fact just a prolonged blip in his career that started before he joined us. I know Drogba being the man we could rely on meant that he had more playing time than Fernando Torres when it was crunch time but let's face facts he was given the opportunites. I think he started to believe the scathing stories a notorious British media had shackled him with thus resulting in a wounded out of form 50 million pound striker but bringing Cavani here wouldn't necessarily mean Nando's revived confidence will be effected by the same kinda bullshit. I would like for Torres to shine now more than ever and be our number one striker but with the amount of games we will have to play this season coming we simply cannot just count on one World Class striker to bag the goals in all competitions. Every top club has at least two garunteed goalscorers in their squad and as much as we want Danny to succeed, are we really convinced he is the man we can rely on if Torres gets injured or banned? I say buy Cavani now but given the signings of Oscar, Eden and Marin I am more than happy with what the board has brought us this summer, if anything i feel like we have been spoiled and anything else is a Brucey Bonus!

Oscar is definitely starter material. It may take him time to adapt to our system but I really don't think it will, he starts for Brazil who have immense talent in abundance for most positions available. He may be young but plays with the head of a cultured professional , equipped to fit into a side that was 'lacking playmakers' quite nicely.

You feel KDB needs a 2 season long loan? I really don't think it will benefit him as much as it would if he was to stay here, he is capable of growing into our first team and playing at the standard required. Given rotation and squad depth is going to be needed for the long season ahead I think we should hold onto him. I agree that Malouda and Benna need to go because they just aren't good enough now we have signed Oscar, Hazard and Marin. If those two are sold then we should keep KDB incase of injuries and fatigue, either way it is going to be such an exciting season and I reckon we will be fighting for 1st place again now! Welcome Oscar I wish you a great start to your career with the Champions Of Europe. :blue scalf:

Kagawa hardly a CM ? Well it looks like he is capable of playing CM with Scholes, just look how he commands the center of midfield here even though i think he is playing in an advanced role! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2iWXqO3UYk

I think signing Oscar will be a massive purchase for us and could really be the difference in controlling games rather than being on the back foot and just counter attacking. I watched the United pre-season game against Ajax and Kagawa was very neat and precise with his passing and link up play with Scholes to the forwards. He controlled the game and looked like he had been playing with United for years, I think Oscar is as good if not potentially better than Kagawa. I'm not sure if he is at the same level as Shinji as of yet but nevertheless Oscar is a fantastic midfielder who we all know can play deep and controll games. The thought of having Oscar alongside Lampard, Mikel or Essien (Not Romeu because i think pairing them both would lack experience) is just mouth watering and to have Hazard, Mata, Marin, Sturridge, Torres, Ramires in front of them just sounds ridiculous. Dream Team stuff. This season is going to be one of the best in Premier League History in terms of spectator value, I am literally counting down the days wishing for this season to start. I just hope we have Oscar and hopefully a right back has been wrapped up in time for when we travel to Villa Park so i can see them spank City in the community shield!

Their CM problem? I don't see one now they have Kagawa along with Carrick, Scholes, Cleverly, Anderson and Fletcher if he gets fit again, Giggs can play CM also. The way Fergie sets up his team the players don't have to necessarily be individually outstanding but rather function in their role effectively and collectively resulting in wins. You can have all the good players in your team but if they don't work well together then you are going to win nada. Those players mentioned are pretty decent anyways and I'm sure Fergie will form a solid center midfield this season so buying Lucas will only strengthen Man U's options in attack which I for one don't like!

Whateva Treva.

Win the argument?? Your such a child and pretty embarrassing posting shit like that. All i ever see you post is childish negativity about every player who does something wrong on the pitch. Just another spoiled kid who throws his dummy out the pram when someone has a bad period for us.

I read the first line of this reply and i stopped. When did I base my 'knowledge' of Essien on the game with PSG???? What the ...! I'm basing my knowledge on Essien since becoming a Chelsea player and from that i think he is still worth holding on to. I didn't say he had the best game ever at all.. Check all my previous posts and you will not find anything of the kind having been said. So now your making crap up to try and belittle me which isn't very constructive is it! All I'm saying is I think it would be a mistake to sell him seeing as he can run just as much as Frank, is a better ball winner than Mikel and has more experience than Romeu. Just my opinion!

Oh yea it's definitely realistic and the only reason they do this. Pro angle is just shocking in my opinion, I only use tele. Do you play clubs?

I couldn't agree more. Though as much as it pains me to say this I think Heskey can play better football! lol

Don't be an idiot? Essien was the best midfielder along with Marin when he came on today! Are you calling me an idiot because i would like Essien to stay? If your going to base your argument on why we should sell Essien with that kinda crap then we might as well sell all the players currently at Chelsea who under performed last season. He has had to deal with some serious injuries and if he can stay away from injury and get back to full fitness, he will be the beast he once was for us or have you forgotten all of what Essien has done in his years at Chelsea? Essien is an essential player in the squad for experience alone. You think Romeu or Mikel is better? Surely not you Sloth the one who moans about every fucking player in our squad! Get real.

They use that camera angle on shitty pitches at low level Fifa games and it bores the death out of me there too lol. That's why i strictly play with the Champions of Europe :blue scalf:

I think that's pretty obvious bro....!

Marin our new Kalou?? Hahaha what the hell is wrong with some of the people in this forum tonight. Soo much negativity in here throughout this PSG game it's almost cringey!

If you just watched the game then you cannot be serious. Essien was class when he came on, made a huge difference int he midfield and showed Mikel how the holding midfielder role is really played. If he can play like that in half the games in this up and coming season i will be very, very happy. No way should we sell Essien.

Did anyone else find themselves clapping Carlo off the pitch at the end there?? I did!

Anyone saying Hazard was shit in that half must be blind. Lukaku unfortunately is showing his inexperience as a striker for a Top club, It's very apparent but given a loan spell at another Prem Club he has the potential to come good.

Carlo is such a legend! That eyebrow puts The Rock to shame!

hahahha that actually made me giggle. It's the little things in life!

How the fuck are we going to play with a baseball pitch in the middle of the field ?

Hutcho you never seem to fail me. :heart:

I presume the game is going to be Live on Chelsea TV. If somebody could equip me with a 'crash free' link, I would be most appreciative!
