Good stuff I also liked the almost quotes. Reminds me of Apocalipto almost character. I wonder if hazard had that in mind when he was saying that this season is a season of almost. :-)

I think is both parties fault, mourinho and lukaku. Because when Ba wanted to go to arsenal on loan he was going to go but mourinho stopped it. Here is a clear example of the managers ability to allow a loan to happen. Then lukaku as well because he didn't had enough faith in himself to get over 3 not so good strikers. But in the end it worked well for lukaku the best as he has set up a case for himself.

Yeah I feel the same otherwise we would have stayed with kdb and Mata.

Yeah he's good, can be a good piece of business like it was with azpi.

I don't think mourinho is even after him. Will rather wait and see what he wants.

Why 2 for CB? Because it was needed like with Ramires on the RW right? That shows flexibility then. Anyhow I don't take into account injuries, but surely ban. A player that gets ban stupidly is on him. That's a difference then being injured or being ineligible like Matic in CL.

Seems like about even to me.

uhhhm you take Ramires ban and such into account. What about DL injury? And you missing some games men. Where is Arsenal, Liverpool and such?

No, Mourinho will choose Ramires and DL in both position until we got Matic. Once Matic was here, the combination of DL-Matic became the best. But as you stated before, in some matches Ramires was not eligible, similar DL, he had some injuries and such. But when fully fit, It would be Matic-DL

I will say the same thing, dude I don't know what your trying to get at. Matic can't play cl. In pl in big games it was Matic and DL.

Matic not available for cl....

City vs Chelsea. It was more the case after that match. Not before when we didn't had matic.

Who said that? Has he chosen ramires over DL in the big matches? I don't remember, he prefer to use DL and matic as it gave him a better combo.

Anybody who choses ramires over DL in the cm position you lose it for me. I agree with everything about being a good business and all that. But for Chelsea it won't be if we sell DL and stick with ramires in the mid. That's just been shit for this whole season. If we sell DL and can get someone better then ramires and DL for CM then it will benefit us greatly. Otherwise I rather keep DL then continue with ramires in mid.

They are good. The football transfer rumor is just discussing rumor from other sites. So only that is not reliable.

Pardon my lack of knowledge, but not sure if this has been mentioned before. Can Oscar play next to Matic as a DLP?

After the summer window is over I will post my expectation.

Just because Mata was warming the bench a bit does not means nothing. He had two good seasons, it's hard to sustain insane season back to back. David Silva at City had two good season, one bad season and then a better season. Under Benitez Lampard and Terry was bench warmer. It's all depending in the state of the player and who's managing the team. But I keep stating, you could sell anyone in the team as long as you have the proper target lineup.

We could sell Oscar, Hazard, Matic and everybody if we wanted. What makes the "right" thing to do is if either we have the right replacement or use the money to buy someone better.

Cahill might be good on the pitch, but not a natural leader for me. After Terry leaves...which god knows who then it has to be someone that command respect like it was Terry and Lampard. So as to all the players out their in the field I don't think I see anyone with that attitude. David Luiz is a friendly character but not in the mold of Kompany, Terry, Gerrard, Lampard and such. I think this is why despite Cole might be leaving, as well Lampard, Terry is still vital for us. Because we have yet to get that natural leader in our team. And the price on DL being quoted is on Euros, don't confuse Euro vs Pounds. I guess that would put us at 33 million pounds if it's the range of 39 million Euros

Kalas played in vitesse not sure if that counts? Thought he had to play in England and such?

Would be good if we could knew our expenses. Like how much do we expect our wages to be and such? Cause we might actually turn a profit in the new reports.

Agreed, look at how much Mourinho payed for Coentrao at Real Madrid? I think he learn from that. This is just an extortion men.

Interesting, I assume it's because of the TV money increase that kick in this season?

Torres to stay? hahaha that's a good optical illusion like this boat in the background:
