True. Carlos Queiroz is another example of that. But imagine, Mourinho gets sacked halfway through next season and Steve Kean takes over....

For the team that we have, we need someone who is more than just a goalscorer, at least for a 1st choice starter in the team.

Cyber bullying.

Because you are so bossy, scary, strict and all. And not to mention, you have a freaking Thor hammer FFS!

Wigan's James McCarthy is a man most wanted - with Chelsea and Arsenal considering summer move

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, isn't it?

Read in a news before stating that Schurrle is a player that Emenalo has admired and like for some time now. Unless the club have spoken with Mourinho or whoever about this transfer and they agree with it, this will just be another signing by the board which our next manager have to try figuring out on how fix and complete the jigsaw puzzle.

About that Mourinho-Steve Kean link, he was previously mentioned as a choice to be a backroom staff when Scolari was around. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/7462555.stm

Don't think Mourinho will bring Karanka here, should he return. He only appointed Karanka as his assistant because he knows about Spanish football and Real Madrid as a club having played there before in his career.

Alright. Just also saw it being confirmed by a Benfica fella on Twitter. Thanks.

My oh my. If Wigan win tomorrow...

Mourinho wants Blackburn flop Steve Kean to join him if he returns to Chelsea :lol:

When is the Porto v Benfica game? Saturday or Sunday? Seeing different sources stating different days!

Think they have moved the Porto v Benfica game to Saturday, 11th May. Porto's website has stated so. http://www.fcporto.pt/English/hp_english.asp See their 'Next Game' bar on the right hand side. EDIT: But Benfica's site is listing that game to be played on Sunday.... http://www.slbenfica.pt/en-us/futebol/classificacao.aspx

Sunderland moved for £50m star Edinson Cavani :lol:

He's just like Mario Gomez - a goal poacher. Offers nothing more than goals.

Agree to disagree then on Hazard at RW. As for saying Hazard gets the ball more in CAM, that may be the case but again, he can't do too much damage there unless in counter attacking situations where he can get loads of space and time to operate. The reason why Hazard doesn't suit in the CAM role is because his main abilities is getting on the ball, run at defenders and dribble past them. In this middle, he won't be able to do that too much because teams these days play a pivot or 3 midfielders in front of their defence and in this case, Hazard won't get the time and space to do. He might even actually lose the ball a tad more because of trying to dribble past people and being crowded out in that area! He's not like Mata where he passes, then move, pass, then move, pass then move making him very hard to mark and defend against in that CAM area. If we really are to get the absolute best out of Hazard, we really need to play him in best position which is at LW. He has the pace, trickery, ability to run with the ball and dribble past players and all of this is best exploited in that wide left role because that is where he can have the time and space to do what he's great at, which is something he won't enjoy much in the CAM position.

After playing rather poorly in the last 2 games at OT prior to yesterday, thought he did well this time with Ramires despite United played a weak team and didn't bother at all. Didn't venture too much forward and protected the back 4 well, with and without Ramires, when needed particularly when the latter bombs forward.

Probably just trying to wrap him up in a nice cotton wool and protect that calf he is to ensure he will be fit for Wednesday. And Mikel did train today with the team.

PISS OFF CHOULO!!!!

Hazard playing on the RW doesn't change a thing? Have you actually seen how ineffective he is on the right? When Hazard has played there, he has never really posed any threat to the opposition and it's a different thing altogether playing there temporarily in games and playing as his main position. The best position for him is the LW because that is where he's most comfortable at and strongest in causing damage to the opponent. With the talent and ability he's got, we should be playing him in his best position where we can get the best out of him, not play square pegs in round hole and only get half of the player he is. Did you notice the 'if' in the sentence there??

But that is Hazard's best and main position. No way Schurrle will be playing there if he's going to be a 1st choice player in the team. Heard he can play on the RW as well but not so effective there.

Chelsea’s Mr Consistency the real player of the year
