Fernando

Cool thanks. But FM how good is it for scouting in south america? Is it mostly for Europe? I would like to know how some players from my country stack. Altough the one descent kid we got right now is in Spain. Jeffeson Montero playing for Betis on loan from Villareal. To me he is more technical gifted then Antonio Valencia, but Valencia beats him with his physical attribute.

Cool, but I am noob on this FM. I really don't play video games much. My little brother has the latest FIFA...I think that's FIFA 12 or 11. Do you play FM there? Or it's a total different game? Thanks.

Maybe because of the UEFA financial fair play rule taking effect this season? Cause even City are not even spending this transfer window as Mancini complaints about his squad...... Anyways, since we are talking about this team, I want to know if anybody knows what has become of Douglas Costa and Alex Teixeira? They where good prospect a couple of years ago. Have they failed to produce?

Top class analysis Artinho!

That is a bit too much, but hey giving that the last manager indulge himself in spending 50m for Torres, I can't really complaint. Plus he is young, and he can easily have a resale value in two or three years. If he can produce a couple of good passes forward, then it's all good!

True. But I guess some managers will be like that if they are planning long term, not just one or two years?

It appears to me that he is more price conscious then most managers we had in the past in the Roman era.

So this can put to bed all that nonsense that AVB does not want to buy. Of course AVB knows our squad is shit, but he is not going to say so publicly ala Mancini style. I explained this to some people as to how AVB choose to act like this. Is just like SAF. They know they need to buy players, but they don't want to say that publicly and act like everything is normal.....

Hey I finally notice what you said! This come after AVB said we where not interested in him and no cup tied players. What a bunch of liars....but I like it as it throws all of us of....well not you since you figure out the scheme!

Villas-Boas can only plan long term at Chelsea if Roman sees sense at last Read more: http://www.dailymail...l#ixzz1kEapSZCB So from what I can see this is the problem. Because how can it be a team with so much money that pay big wages to such players cannot play as good as a Swansea, Betis or A. Bilbao? We keep firing managers after managers, that we don't build nothing good. Everything goes to waste after we fired this manager and bring the next. Right now I don't know if AVB is better then Carlo, but we need to stop this nonsense of sacking managers and leave the men alone for a while. Let him have full control of the team, so he don't have to worry about getting sack and can plan long term.

I hope that from those 3 players you are not referring to Paulo Ferreira, and Bosingwa?

I thought that is Mourinho now?

Well I hope you are right.

Yeah but I find it frustating that smaller team play such great football, while our team with so much money, so much money we pay these players can't even play as good. I hope AVB turns the team next season. Cause if come his third season, and we are still playing some slow dull football then we ain't never going to improve!

I am amazed that Bilbao plays this good, while Chelsea with all this money we spend, can't string a couple of good passes!

I agree, but can you explain to me one thing? I just finish watching the Madrid vs A. Bilbao game, and can you explain to me how in the world is Bielsa team playing better then AVB team, when they both been in charge of their respective team the same time frame? Last game Chelsea was dog shit. It was so horrible to watch that I was falling asleep! We have actually regress back in term of playing with AVB. I support AVB, but he has to get his act together!

I wanted Bayern but was sold to Chelsea - Zhirkov http://football.uk.r...3B.php?rpc=401

Chelsea FC insist Cesar Azpilicueta isn't a January transfer target http://www.crunchsports.com/category/Soccer/Chelsea-FC-rule-out-January-move-for-Cesar-Azpilicueta-201201200013/ Kinda sucks, since I was hoping we got this guy.

Yeah I agreed. I wonder if AVB will play DL as RB with Cahill in the CB. Do you think he will be better there?

Barcelona beating Malaga 3 to 0. Now the preassure back on Real Madrid, who will play A. Bilbao. Bilbao tied against Barcelona last time they played, so lets see what they can do. I think Madrid has too much fire power for them, but you never know.

Yes it makes sense but when I said A. Cole should be sold so we can buy a younger player or bring a youngster people said I was crazy! They want to keep a player till they are like 33 plus something and have little resale value to then say we need to sell them..... So it's much easier to say it now once it's done, then to say this player should be sold "at the right time"

No, our problem is that we keep firing managers after managers, without building an identity. Our team does not knows what we play after Mourinho left. Mourinho build this team in his image, and they knew what to play. Then after you fire him, and bring all these different managers to try to implement their philosophy it creates nothing but a cluster fuck!

He is cup tied. He played for Valencia when they played against us. But anyways this kid is good. He got a lot of potential like our youngster. I would like for us to buy him from Madrid.

Last match was OM vs Lille??? If so I think they where loooking at Cesar Azpilicueta.

I guess you have not seen a worse case of denial then AVB? Maybe you should watch this interview with SAF:
