Corinthians better than Chelsea?! LOL

A-Fucking-Men. He understandably and rightfully is feeling robbed and is fed up with it.

I've never understood why you put certain words in bold. lol

Drogba is 34 and has been there, done it and won it all. Hulk is 26 and proved very little. Big difference

It would probably be best to keep him now that we are a bit light in midfield.

Perhaps we are generating funds for Falcao and/or a new DM early as we don't want to fuck about in January. We want to buy them very early in the window.

What strengths?

The 5-3 Le Arse match was what killed our League season. Everything went downhill from there.

They just did. They know what they're doing more than us fans. Taking that into account and seeing how they are still spending tells me FFP is a loop hole filled joke.

Yet spending is actually on the up. With us, Zenit and PSG going on spending sprees.

I wish people would stop bringing up FFP. You should have realised by now that it means nothing.

I can't believe how much you're underrating Mata. He is a class player and at his best is almost as good as Silva. He is only 24 so can get better.

In January Fellaini is a must.

Turkish fans are both Maniacs and Badass at the same time.

Perhaps Luiz and Mata will also start playing in midfield?

Drop Ramires? Really?

Zenit is not a step up. Fact. If I'm feeling generous I'd say it's a parrallel move. If I'm stating the cold, harsh reality, it's a step down.

Is it possible to sign him for 6 months only? Would be good cover. If not I'd still sign him up for 1 year. I don't think he'll mind sitting on the bench a lot. He knows he's at that stage of his career and I think he would love to come back here

When you take a step down in your career, it's hard to ever get back to somewhere near the top. Going to Russia will mean less exposure for him. He is young too so this move makes even less sense. Shame he has shown a lack of belief and ambition and caved in for money. I guess he can still showcase his talent in the Champions League and with the Belgian national side (Should he even get picked anymore). So those two things keep his chances of playing for a big club still alive, barely. For the meanwhile though, that's another option gone for us. Fellaini jumps to the top of the list. With M'Vila/Tiote/Moutinho close behind.

Grossly overpriced and I fear for him that we won't be hearing much from him anymore now that he's gone to Russia (Same thing with Eto'o). He's 26 (?) so I doubt any big club will try to buy him again. Shame that he's practically stalled and damaged his career beyond repair. Firstly for agreeing a massive buyout clause with Porto was insane. They were always going to try to price him out of a move, especially from us. So he should have forced their hand by handing in a transfer request. This move however practically kills his career. He may even struggle to get into the Brazil team now. I'm even more disappointed in Witsel though.

Planet reality.

Yet didn't you just say this? How can you not criticise any players but destroy Mikel any chance you get? Does not compute.

Great to hear! Happy for Mata. Hope he gets a lot of rest and takes his mind off football. Secondly great that Oscar will get a start

Ramos would be a nice pick up. Shame we have no room for Ozil.

Yes to Lescott, Richards and although Smalling and Jones aren't there yet they have potential. I think some of us need to not let our love of JT get in the way of seeing reality. Still a good CB who is important to us but on the decline and I would like a young CB with talent and on the up. City got a good one in Nastasic.
