I take it you've never seen him play.

This. Contnential or possibly world cap on wages and transfers

All the goals and bosingwa red card (which was completely correct, and nothing will change my opinion on it) were because of the high line

I see what you're saying, but he is a very inform player. He has been better than Drogba and Torres combined and on par with Citys strikers stat wise. Definitely worth a shot, obviously not for 30m. The other concern is his knees I believe. Dzagoev has stalled massively from what I last heard.

Carlo brought in Ramires and Luiz His low transfer point was Torres if he indeed wanted him

I'd prefer to sign players aged 20-26 who have potential, not 28 year olds who will have 0 value once they hit 30.

"Last year he was amazing" Six goals and six assists in 33 apps is not a good enough return for a club of Chelsea stature. Prior to that season his stats are even worse. I would dismiss this if he was a deep lying playmaker, but wingers main requirement is to assist and score. I think he is a very stupid player, kind of like Malouda when he is off form. Just really, really frustrating to watch when he gets to the box. I may be wrong obviously, but I can't see him being the correct option for this team. Sorry, but this really gets on my tits. How can you be a supporter/fan of two top clubs on the same continent. It would be understandable if you supported your local semi-pro/small team, but Juve? One of the biggest teams in Europe? What do you do when Chelsea and Juve play each other? Who do you hope progresses?

I'd start Torres only under the condition that he puts in a certain amount of work, determination, passion. If within 20 minutes he is being lazy, not making runs, sub him for Drogba.

Spot on Pace can easily be developed up to standard of the premier league, especially in a young player. Not a bad shout, but definitely not on the wing.

The three famous words that always go together.

First ten mins - complete rape. It was like watching Barca playing Burnley. We were Burnley. I think we had 2% possession (seriously) 10-30mins - still second best, we get goal out of nothing 30-45 - we get some poorly timed injuries, it's all good though we are slowly coming back 45-70 - we are easily outplaying spurs, with some chances coming 70-90 - pretty even, both sides getting good chances and missing them Our chances were better throughout the game IMO.

Ah, ok. Misunderstanding here.

AVB reminds me of a carrot.

Does adidas think kalou is fast or something :S Surely they're talking about the Ferrari.

So you are saying that Apple computers contain some sort of superior hardware parts that are not on the market (even though they come from generic suppliers/manufacturers)?

What if it was Zola and Chelsea?

It obviously doesnt excuse him, but if Drogba is not in form I'd rather give Torres a chance as he's 27 and cost 50m. Unless he puts in another lazy, passionless performance, then he can kindly fuck off back to the bench.

As the topic suggests, do you believe that players have become too expensive? Are they being paid too much? Would you like to see some form of salary/transfer cap imposed? It is absolutely ridiculous that players earn upwards of 100k p/w while many of fans cannot afford hiked up ticket prices due to today's financial crisis. As for the transfer values, 50m Torres and 35m Carroll has ensured that if you have any sort of talent, you will come with an extra 20m fee.

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1000203/fernando-torres-hits-back-over-liverpool-'lies'?cc=5901 "It's true that [spain head coach] Vicente del Bosque is worried about me and my form for Chelsea. It's up to me to go back to being the striker I was before. If I go back to how I was a few years ago, I will again play an important role in the Spanish national team." He has the right words but his actions don't reflect it.

Bale has improved a lot IMO I don't think he will ever go to Barca or make their first team. Completely different styles of play. Very nasty tackle on Cole though Cole has quite a few assists this season I believe? Is anyone concerned with our team when we're in possession? We look so nervous, we give the ball away with rash passes. The only calm and composed player out there is Romeu. We have a look of panic when the ball is at our feet, it's like we don't really want it.

No. In fact, he doesn't think at all.

At the risk of sounding stupid, I ask again where you have seen "sack AVB or he's not good enough to manage, AVB out, etc etc". I don't see why people are so confrontational, he asked a question whether we are satisfied with our season so far... And I can see if people are not, because this season is one of the worst point wise in some 6-7 years.

Reality- We have spent: 50m Torres 25m Luiz 18 Lukaku 25m Mata 12m Meireles 13m AVB In the last two windows. Of course we expect to be challenging! Nobody expected us to win the title, but who expected us to be involved in a CL spot battle with Arsenal?

Hurrdurrr - you

The old spine is still there and starting bar Lampard. Cech, JT, Cole, Drogba.
