I know this isn't news to everyone but this article is utterly ridiculous. 'Barca plan to destroy Chelsea', what by taking Romeu back, hahahhah unbelievable journalism! Idiot! http://www.emirates247.com/sports/football/barca-plan-to-destroy-chelsea-in-transfer-window-2012-07-11-1.466793

Dude they made a thread for this kind of post. http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/11893-future-chelsea-team/page__st__234

I wasn't necessarily saying we should or are going to play like Barca but was more trying to point out that under AVB our system was a mess when playing with the high line defence. I agree it will take time for these young prospects to develop and gel together but with the experience already in the squad (Champions Of Europe) the chemistry will hopefully come good sooner rather than later. You say we only have technically gifted smaller players? So what of Torres, Lukaku, KDB and Sturridge... these are technically gifted AND strong players. I think maybe we could do with bringing in Moses to bolster the strength of our attack but i really don't believe that this tactile powerhouse attacking style is so essential and even if it is, it's not like we don't have three strong strikers already! With two strong midfielders sitting deep say Mikel and Lampard then what is wrong with three nimble, agile and gifted players in front of them to work magic for a strong striker like Torres?

The connection between our defence, midfield and forwards was non existent under AVB. The set up was a shambles with no real transition when turning defence into attack, If RDM get's it right and can get us playing as a unit when defending and attacking It really won't matter if we play an attacking style. Just look at Barca and how they defend as a unit and attack as a whole too.

Oscar can play deep. He has played a deep lying playmaker role for Brazil often in recent International matches, you only have to youtube Oscar vs USA or Oscar vs Denmark to see. He is very effective in a deep role playing kind of like Romeu but quicker and can go forward to more effect! Oscar is naturally a central attacking midfielder but can also play wing too which he has assisted a fair few goals in his International appearances. This is would be a very good signing for us and talking of physical presence i agree that playing in the Premier League week in, week out you do need some power to match pace but if these players can produce their best football who's to say their raw skill and ability isn't enough to whip teams every week? We have Ramirez who is a gritty and determined player along with Romeu who isn't exactly weak, with the Mikel, Lukaku, KDB and Lampard who aren't exactly pushovers on the ball I don't think the need for Hulk is as essential as everybody believes! Just because we have become use to having Drogba who was a powerhouse doesn't mean we have to continue playing with that bulldozer style going forward I mean after all aren't we trying to change the way we play and win?

He's playing deep here in a recently International friendly. He looks like he could be our younger mould of Modric but with a Brazilian twist as he can play wing too! Looks like a quality player, I can only hope these rumours are true!

Good point here to be honest. If we have got Oscar then Moses now looks like an ideal buy so we can use other pennies on that right back we are all agreed on needing!

There are rumours Sturridge wants to leave us for a striker role and if he does wanna go to Spurs to join AVB then i wish him good luck. I like Danny and would like him to stay. I didn't like how he played after the first half of last season when he seemed to be the greediest player i have seen in a long time wasting chance after chance. Despite that for a player who was put on the wing game after game when he obviously wanted to play striker he wasn't that much of a pain in the ass. He had something to say but didn't go over the top like say Tevez so if he wants to join AVB and be put on the wing again for Spurs i wish him all the best =). http://www.footylate...-signing/30070? P.s. I don't think this article is 100% accurate seeing as i don't know anyone who believes Danny is 'out of favour' here at Chelsea.

Hey, is there a boxing thread on this forums because i can't find it anywhere for the life of me!

I can't see us getting Schurrle in this transfer window and i would rather see Oscar, Moses and Cesar Azpilicueta come in. That along with Hazard, Marin and KDB being brought back from his loan spell would see us going into this coming season in excellent shape. Just hope RDM know's how to get all these lad's playing well together in a more attacking style!

I got this lad on FM and he is a beast!

Wtf hahahhaha of course I'm not gay you melt! His enormous nose offends me. Every time i see him on my tv screen i feel an innate anger that rages like fire. The kind of anger that i feel when a cocky little show off like you feels the need to try and take the piss outta me! Cheers Big ears!

You thought we were in for Hulk to play him Striker? The rumours that we were after another winger started with him!

I hope the Chelsea God's do not make this happen. I hate Ibra, he's arrogant, ugly as hell and old! No thank you... Next!

Yea I like the players you would axe and the players you would bring in but instead of Moses I would rather Hazard... Oh wait we have him ... Bloody hell I'm still not over that transfer. Wish the pre-season would just hurry up and get in my life now!

I promise you when i am sober i will send you a very effective workout plan and diet that will help you gain muscle mass! Hold me to that. I will deliver!

Yes i gym a lot and i am massive! So if yu want any tips just ask ... dont be shy1! now !

Slept for 1 hour and a half and done a 9 hour poessession shift. Now I'm absolutely pissed#1 and i just had a massive arguemnt with a wanker yid fan!I have 5 hours untill my second 9 hour shift! Oh i am soooo fucked! EH fuck u! looolll.. I LOVE CHELSEA!

Slept for 1 hour and a half hours and now i got to work a 9 hour shift. =( #BestFriendsWithRedBull

I'm going up there. Never been to this pony stadium but if it means i can see our new signings in action and spank those cocky mugs I'm more than willing to make the journey there!

I hate his head but he is a very good player and the kinda player who would fit into Chelsea nicely. Hope this is true!

Far away as possible. Who in earth would want Willian at Chelsea now we have Eden and Marin, we need a 'REGISTA' not another attacking midfielder!

Then think dink, chip penalty.

I'm so so happy that i was at the Byern Leverkusen game last season in the Champions League group game where Ballack was greeted with a fantastic reception from our fans. A proper send of. Then i virtually jumped out of my seat and ran down onto the pitch to judo chop him when he nearly scored haha! Ballack is probably the only German player I can tolerate, what a geeza!

Yea mate i was nearly as frustrated as Torres was when everytime he made an interesting run Iniesta or Xavi would swivel and go back or sideways. Mata comes on around the 86th minute mark and straight away they combine to score. There was a proud feeling of 'Yeah that's our boys, the Champions of Europe' who just owned Italy there! :blue scalf:
