What's so funny? We could move Ivanovic to CB then and provide time for Kalas and/or Omeruo to come through, though I doubt Mourinho is thinking of that..

News from caughtoffside = Rubbish news, instantly. A waste of space source!

Somewhat off topic.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1MdflZqjkA

This is the effect of international breaks. People start to notice and say weird things.....

C'mon man. It was only against England. Don't get the fuss at all.

You've got issues mate, serious issues..

Can only hope so. Mourinho's persistence with starting Cole (and some others) for nearly every single game this season when his performances haven't been great at all, goin by usual high standards, is really nonsensical!

TBF, if a certain someone or two haveb been scoring regularly, we wouldn't be talking so much about the one out on loan...

Honestly, this thread is just so depressing. Every time you enter this thread, you'll see the same old thing being talked about over and over and over and over and over again, non-stop. Even when there is nothing happening, somebody will bring something up and the whole process will be repeated..

Julian Draxler fancies transfer to Arsenal, Manchester United or Chelsea

Schurrle's goal against Ireland.. Good first touch. Great turn. A well composed finish.

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres admits he needs to score more goals this season Talk about stating the obvious...

http://as.com/diarioas/2013/10/10/english/1381406202_869268.html Not sure how true but according to AS, Guardiola is having second thoughts on buying Lewandowski..

Doesn't matter if he's a Hazard or MvG like signing, the fact is he remains another youth player that we'll be stockpiling into the team if we buy him.

Chelsea star Juan Mata given thumbs down by PSG fans

Right...let's buy another young midfielder and then people will later complain, as always, as to why other players of the same ilk aren't getting enough playing time or why we are not giving chances to youth players... Think it's about time that we actually stop stocking the squad with so many young players. We need players who are already relatively experienced, approaching their peak or at their peak to come in and replace some older players in our squad. Persisting with buying young players is gonna give us problems in the long run. There needs to be a balance of experience and youth in the team..

The article is about 3 weeks old but Michael Cox of Zonal Marking analyzed Mourinho and his system, tactically, style of play etc in his 2nd reign here. http://www.zonalmarking.net/2013/09/17/new-managers-mourinho-at-chelsea/

Merged with the old thread...

Slightly off topic but Carlooo!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsMjRj9hnOI

Yeah but depends on whether he can be consistent at WBA now. At Sunderland, despite the troubles there, he blows hot and cold and can at times be infuriating to watch.

Really dislike Iain Dowie! Just mumbles utter nonsense, then jumps from one point to another and always does it halfway before suddenly changing his thoughts to something else.
