We can beat Napoli, but still not ready for the Bayern, Barcelona or Madrid. So that being said, I think a Quaterfinals would be a descent goal. Anything beyond that is an amazing achievement by the club and manager. Anything less then that.....

If you are talking about Cahill, Kostas in the Cahill thread explained this nicely. When you buy a player for free or with little time left in his contract you usally end up paying more in wages.

Loan has improved for Chelsea then compare to past seasons, so that's good that the club are finding right places for the youngsters. Now the FA needs to just let team like Chelsea have a B to play the championship, so we can mold our talents better like Barcelona does. Reserve will never get us there. Loaning is great but so shall having more competition for our younger players at completive level.

Balague: It is possible Mourinho might win La Liga then leave Real Madrid http://www.talksport.co.uk/radio/hawksbee-and-jacobs/blog/2012-01-19/balague-it-possible-mourinho-might-win-la-liga-then-leave-real-madrid

Ha even better. Anything to degrade Real Madrid is alright in my books!

I hope he don't go to Liverpool. Cause Liverpool just like Madrid, stink up the atmosphere with all their talk about history and all this crap! Don't revive them bastard, let them rot in mediocrity!

Pepe is such a low life of a player! I wish Mourinho would leave this circus fast so they can return to their mediocrity! They don't deserve a great coach like Mourinho.

Drogba must go - the statistics that prove it http://www.talksport...istics-prove-it

I like Mourinho, but I dislike Madrid a lot, like some people here do with Liverpool and such. Just because they have history they think they are entittled to everything! Anyways, with Sanchez, i think prefer Hazard or Neymer better. But yeah he is good!

Barcelona got no genuine striker in that line up, and Madrid got no creative player in that line up with Ozil in the bench....

Thanks for the info. This is why I was saying in my mind that Chelsea should not buy no more CB after Cahill. He should be the last before Chelsea has to at least produce one youngster. Weather it be Bruma, Kalas or someone else. One has to come in the next two seasons. Only think we need is a RB, because after Ivan, I don't think a youngster is knocking on door big time like Bruma and Kalas right now. Maybe in two season we might see some progress, but even then I don't see a harm in buying a new RB this transfer window.

Preatty much a come and get me Chelsea! AVB should act on this. Getting this guy now will be much easier then Hazard, Goetze, or Neymar. We need to fix first our defense before worrying about other places.

Owen Coyle was a big admirer of Cahill and talked how good he was and he can do good for a big team. And I have to say, I quite don't remember when Coyle had BS. He is always straight the point and talks the truth. If Coyle and AVB thinks this guy is good, then that is good enough for me. It is why I am excited with this signing. All AVB needs now is a new RB and his defense should be complete for the intermediate time.

I feel like if there was to be another buy, buying this guy would be more likely then a Hazard.

Giving those name it does not look like a racist act. More like some guys being punks and needing 7 people to beat one guy. It does pisses you of when you see things like this!

Juventus striker Amauri is trying to close a move to Fiorentina..... Maybe this is a sign Fiorentina is doing to cover for Jovetic if he leaves this transfer window? http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11866/7439228/Amauri-in-Fiorentina-talks

Actually it looks like Carlo will get a striker from the PL, and it will be Carlo Tevez. That is if Carlo agrees a move, as it appears that City and PSG have agreed for a move.

It sounds like when City and United where about to steal Cahill..... Anyways I still don't believe anything is true. Expect in a few hours Lille president or someone from Lille to totally deny this rumour!

The hand inside the star shape object?

Cool, i never seen a norther Ireland flag before tho. Only the regular Ireland flag. But anyways do you know it's meaning?

It just show how low the standards for some newspapers are these days! BTW wanted to ask can you explain to me your signature? I don't understand the hand inside of the star shape object?

Carlo wanted Gunners or Spurs Italian also reveals events of Chelsea sacking http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7438825/ Chelsea sacking Ancelotti also revealed the events that occurred when he was sacked by Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich at the end of last season. The 52-year-old admitted the exchange with Abramovich was short and that the Russian was 'very cold' towards him when axing him. "When Abramovich fired me, he was very cold. He said to me good luck and stopped," added Ancelotti. "He knew that I wasn't in agreement with that decision and he preferred to avoid talking about it in detail." Ancelotti also admits he has sympathy for current Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas who has also found his position under scrutiny after an indifferent start to life at Stamford Bridge. "Is he [Abramovich] sorry for calling Villas Boas? I don't judge the work of a colleague, I'm just saying that coaching this Chelsea, in the midst of a big generational change, is complicated," concluded Ancelotti.

Interesting if true. A new RB with Cahill will solve all our defensive problem for some time, and then we can focus on the other areas like wingers and creative mid. It's always good to start from the back!

Well I agree on buying a RB. That makes sense.

Sorry but for me this should not happen. Cahill has to be last line of players we buy before a youngster has to come through. If we can't get Bruma, Kalas, or any other defenders in the coming seasons, then we are doing bad in the academy department! I personally am excited by the signing of Cahill. I think he is very a good defender that can fit in to the AVB philosophy very well. Wasn't too happy with the wages, but Kostas explained this part very good, so now I am content.
