  1. Yup Mourinho is close to reaching his objective at Madrid. He might do one more year and then decide to come back to EPL. Funny feeling i get is that he will go to City and that will suck for us. And another manager that could handle those ego and do well was Hiddink.
  2. Should have, could have. It's not like United is that much different. The majority of their games they play like crap and barely win. And if you forget we just beat City!
  3. Well I am wondering if we get Hazard will we need to buy a creative player since Mata will be filling that role? As well we got Piazon, Kakuta, Lukau and Josh coming through. So in 2 or 3 years they might be ready for first team action...
  4. Having Hazard and Sturridge will be a reminiscent of the days of Robben and Duff. Preatty much went downhill for Mourinho and every coach since then by not properly fixing these two area.
  5. The fact is that they where after Nasri and Sneijder, and that showed they had not much confidence in what they had. Same like us, we went after Pastore and Modric. They didn't get two players they wanted, and neither did we. So we will wait for the right player at the right price just like them.
  6. It is for the sake of it! Ferguson was in for Sneijder and Nasri, but could not get him. So because he could not get him he will buy some other player just to fill that gap? No! The same as with AVB here. Well I am done talking with this topic because it's obivous that is not just AVB that operates like that, and if you can't see that then I can't argue no more.
  7. But it's not easy, and they usually wait for their target. Not with this "back up" plan just to buy a player for the sake of it. If the right player is available and the price is right will buy. Otherwise no.
  8. You are talking like it's that easy. If it was, coaches like SAF and Wenger would not have to suffer to bring the right players in.... or back ups.
  9. Back up is to wait for the right player and not buy just for the sake of buying!
  10. You are acting like our club is not doing nothing, and that is a misconception. In the summer we tried to get Modric, and Pastore. Chelsea are trying to be more financial conscious now, and can't throw money away like the early days of Roman. Carlo was like that, and I don't think it's a conincidence it's the same today with AVB being cautious in spending money like crazy. I really think the whole money spend on Torres and David Luiz was more down to Roman freaking out with the team due to the position we where last year. Otherwise we would be continuing our cautious approach of spending on players.
  11. Another hard win. Was ugly, but who cares. Need to start building the confidence. I am liking what I see from Torres. Very good sign. Get some player like Hazard in, and Chelsea will start looking much better in attack. And great to see Essien back!
  12. Descent first half by Chelsea. Torres looked better. But the movement of the ball is still slow. Hopefully AVB can identify this problem and bring the right players in the coming transfer windows.
  13. It's the same as spending our time writing here. We can't effect anything the club does, what AVB does and such. So why do we do it? Same reason as to why people discuss about finances....
  14. • Cahill to earn around £80,000 a week at Stamford Bridge http://www.guardian....-medical-bolton Kinda mess up if Mata gets less then him..... Very bad move by Chelsea to cave in to his wage demand!
  15. Comparing 2004 to 2012 is wrong because back then we needed to build a new team from the bottom, and the money was more freely to spend. A major restructuring like that happen at the beginning of a major take over. We saw it as well with Manchester City. But from here on both teams will play it less due to the Uefa rules. City in order to buy needs to sell. If Chelsea buys two this transfer window then that will make sense since we are letting go of 2 players. Selling 5 or 6 players in one transfer and trying to buy that same amount is very hard. I believe that was the major downfall of Carlo. He let so many player go, that he had a bench full of youngster.
  16. You hit the nail, "trying". If we can't get Hazard, then most likely we will settle for De Bryune like we did for Meireles.....
  17. lol yeah true that, two seasons that would be insane. But we screw up in buying him at the wrong time. We needed the most creative players and wingers....which we still do. Next season should be his last chance. If he can't produce nothing good, then yes it's over for him. Second season will be very important as well for AVB. So it's not just Torres, but AVB must show something good. He does not has to win anything next season, but just show a better image then what was display this season. Thus having someone like Hazard might help greatly for those two objectives.
  18. Pay the money, leave him in loan till the end of the season, and if they want we can give them a young talent like Lalkovic, or Mellis? Don't think some of our youngster will ever make it to the team. But he can easily be worth double in two or three seasons. So he is very worth the risk. Risk like this are more worth taking then when you buy an older player like Sheva and Torres. Even though I back Torres to come good in a season or two, but resale value will never be as high as we payed. With this kid there is that chance.
  19. I can't wait for the match. Feels like an eternity since last match!
  20. Can someone tell me the different role their exist with this kid and other potential targets like Lucas from Sau Paulo and Ganso from Santo? And how different is he from players like Mata, Modric and Silva? Thanks.
  21. Turning into a Hazard will be too much to ask. I put Hazard in the mold of Robben. If I have to compare, I would put this kid to turn out to be as descent as Joe Cole.....
  22. That skysport article says his price is at 33 million pounds. Since Chelsea is always with the notion of buying and loaning, then Chelsea should just fork out the money and let the boy stay there till the summer. This is what Lille wants, to keep the boy to the summer so if you give them that deal, I am sure they will gladly accept this winter and we will have already secured a promising player for the next season.
  23. You guys are looking into this too much. Any blind men will tell you that this squad needs to rejuvenate. Just that not many managers want to laid it out publicly that their squad is not good enough....something I hear Mancini do a lot, and it's his style. But coaches like AVB, SAF, Carlo, Wenger and such shy away from that. I am confident in what AVB is planning, he showed me his talent in picking out Mata and Romeu. This squad is good enough to finish 3 or 4, but winning a tittle would be hard. So no need to panick over dropping out of the top 4.
  24. Good news, how much will he get in wages? Anyone knows?
  25. Yup that's it. Well good talking to you my friend.
