Oh ye of little faith. Don't you know that Mourinho is always the best in his second season? So no matter who brings who, statistics will never be wrong! ?

Wait I thought it was a loan? Are they obligated to buy him next season? Is that even allowed?

But Falcao is not in form. He had a serious injury like Torres. It is why no one wants to buy him outright.

I think your right. I don't think hazard not tracking enough is the problem, it's our defense that has been very average at best. Everton scored two goals from headers, headers!! I thought Terry and company was dominant in air? So this is where I believe Mourinho will focus on, defending better set pieces and high crosses. I also said it in another thread that for me azpi and Felipe will move to each side and Ivan will move to the cb, because cahill and Terry ain't as good as people here hype it up to be. The main reason they was good last season was because we was defensive. Now that we're trying to be more expansive you can see their frailties.

No that's wrong he also had a good defense over there. Ramos was a beast and much better then anything we got. This is where I'm expecting Mourinho eventually shifts Ivan to the cb and puts azpi and Felipe on each side. Will not happen right away but by December we might start seeing this. Because this defense is not that good and something needs to be fix.

Not used to the high tempo game of the pl. But he's still been good.

No, Terry and Ricardo was beast, as well Cole, Lampard and Drogba. That team was better then this one.

Too crazy for me. I expect Mourinho will tighten that defense.

Well I was saying pre match that our defense is shaky. This is just a sign of how shaky it can be at times. While entertainment I still prefer a very tactical discipline display then being all over the map.

I actually think our defense has been a bit shaky the last couple of games. Let's see how shaky they are today....

I wonder if Oscar was not injured would he would have start? I still think so.

Does anyone thinks that Hart is overrated? I think the only reason city still put up with him is because he's English. But today you have Hart and begovic. I would choose begovic over Hart any day of the week.

I don't know about you guys but I rather have city as my competitive team then United and Liverpool. You might say that city fans are deluded but they are a minority. There's a lot more United and Liverpool fans. And the media is always sucking up to them. So I would not mind if for the next 5 years it's only city and Chelsea while Liverpool and United are stuck in mediocrity.

That's what Ba said about us. And with Torres it was the same shit. Because of his name and how much he cost he played at the cost of Sturridge. Sadly that's how modern clubs are run these days.

I would buy him just for the added revenue we would get from Mexican fans.

I thought Monaco wanted to loan? Something a long the 20 million euros if I'm not mistaken. And yes your right they have passed their allotted amount, thus they have to sell. I think Negredo more then likely will go back to Spain, unless Wenger decided to get him?

Well if they get Falcao it's obvious that Negredo is leaving. Pellegrini said he wanted 4 strikers, so he will have 4 strikers. They are doing what we just did, get rid of one striker for another. I thought Negredo was alright, but if you have the option to change Negredo for Falcao I would do it. Nothing to hate on that, just smart business.

I think Ramires to start.

Yeah saf was the leader but he was everything. This is why I never want Chelsea to do the same thing. No matter how good Mourinho is, he must never control every aspect of the team like saf did and currently Wenger is doing. Everything depends on them so when they leave there's no real structure left in place to take over. Chelsea was loathed for how it ran things, but after all is said and done Chelsea is now running in a way that makes sense in this modern world. Modern world is key, because you have to evolve. What was the state of fútbol 20 years ago it's not the same today.

I think it might be less then two years right? Since he was signed in the January transfer window. So shouldn't his contract end in January then the summer?

Thanks. Someone just gave me this link: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11945/9446534/champions-league-domestic-winners-to-benefit-as-uefa-plans-seeding-change

Such a boss celebration. And the forum is on performance mode? OMG It's happening!!!!

@Jason, Hey men I been hearing there's some changes to the CL next season. Like the seeding and what not You know if this is true? And also about Europa League winner getting a spot in the CL as well....

Yup and in this article they talked about it as well: Man Utd have most expensive squad EVERhttps://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/pitchside-europe/revealed-man-utd-most-expensive-squad-ever-101231884.html

They should all pass. From Liverpool, who will give them a tough game other then Real? So they should pass as second. Same as Arsenal, and City are far too much for Roma.
