precisely why I say we should consider Leonardo.He's played with Oscar and has many of his national team mates here.If it was a choice between Spurs or us he would definitely choose us.

As football fans,we all must agree to the fact that Rafa has done a decent job so far.As Chelsea fans,the hate and anger is understandable but we must accept reality and deal with it. Chelsea Fc the club we all love, have the chance to win the title this season and perhaps a little support to the manager may help us boost those chances.

Okay,AVB feels Brazilian striker Leonardo Damiao has potential. SIGN HIM UP ASAP!

Against Everton,he missed at least 2 fairly easy chances.One was the Luiz chip pass and the other was the Oscar pass.If he couldn't convert those chances to goals then what do you really expect from our midfielders?

The guy loved Liverpool and I am sure he never thought in his wildest dreams that he would be the manager of Chelsea.After the Rdm sacking,the club needed a quick short term solution and Benitez fit the bill perfectly.The Spaniard hadn't managed a top club for years and never got really good offers from any top club after his stint at Inter Milan.He was a desperate qualified manager and the club needed a quick solution after getting rejected by Pep. Results have been good under him and if he wins us the Premier League title or at least two cup trophies then well I wouldn't mind him on a full time basis.(considering the lack of fan support)

Perhaps Lukaku may not be the perfect kind of competition for Torres but if we offer the Belgian the same intended match time we plan on to give Ba or any other reported striker then I feel he would succeed.

Chelsea must convince Lukaku to come back in January by ensuring him that they will not sign another striker in the winter transfer window.Reassurance of regular game time may help Lukaku reconsider his decision.We will never be in such a striker situation again and imo this is his best opportunity to succeed. Summer transfer window will see us having 3 strikers- 1)Some expensive world class striker-Falcao/Cavani . OR Torres staying because of a continuous good run of form.(unlikely but maybe possible) 2) Some striker we BUY in the winter transfer window.-Ba,Negredo or someone. 3)Lukaku It will be harder for him to be the main man and then he will complain about lack of game timeReturning to Chelsea will give him the chance to play with his future team mates and develop a quicker understanding of their playing style. The whole point of the loan move was to give him some game time and the chance to show his potential so that he could he get in the first team of Chelsea.He's done fairly well at WBA,well enough to get the role of a second striker at Chelsea.So don't understand why he wants to stay at wba,really hope that he changes his mind.

Muzchap should win this time.

The main aim for us this transfer season is to get our deals done as soon as possible.Ba with the release clause can make this happen but if this transfer is going to get dragged till the second or third week of January then there is no point getting him. I've been saying in the other threads that we should make Lukaku reconsider his decision of staying at WBA.Lukaku would get the same opportunity that we are planning to give Ba and so there wouldn't be any issue of lack of game time.There would be no need of paying any amount for a striker we really need and the deal would be done straight away. This according to me is the best option.

Recalling Lukaku would be only successful if the club sticks with 2 center forwards and don't decide to bring in another striker.Lukaku would get much more game time here as there is no chance of Torres starting every game of the second half of the season.There's also the opportunity of Lukaku playing in Europe,something which WBA can't offer him this season. Lukaku should seriously reconsider and come back to the club.Why wait till next season to really get the chance to play for the club he loves so much when he can start in January itself.

Lukaku would have benefited coming back in January.He would have thrived with the service we have now and could have really established a start to his Chelsea career.Its not always that you have a striker crisis at Chelsea Fc and this situation would have been his opportunity to kickstart his career at this club.

Lets annihilate them.Mikel to be one of the many scorers on Wednesday.

the commentator was like Torres so close to oscar,like he wants to hold hands. Made me laugh so hard.

Interim managers certainly do quite well at this club.

Well played both sides.It was a good game of football and I am happy with the 3 points.Moyes should be proud of his team and I hope they finish 4th in the league.

Torres assist.

Actually if I remember correctly,it was Torres to Barcelona in exchange for 3 youth players and some amount.I'll admit that I got tricked and hoped for the deal to happen.

Just remembered that United lost the title to City in the dying seconds in the final game of the season.LOL good times.

Roman needed Rdm to make some major mistakes so that he could sack him and bring in Pep(Roman's primary choice) as soon as the sacking but sadly Pep chose to continue his 1 year vacation.Failing to qualify for the knockout stages was the PERFECT opportunity for Roman to get rid of the manager who got him 2 trophies in a matter of months.Roman perhaps could have given Rdm time till the City game but then there was always the fear of Rdm succeeding later and winning some trophies yet again.This would have made it difficult for Roman to sack him in the future and would have blocked another attempt to lure Pep. After getting rejected by Pep,Roman had very few options.Mind you,Benitez was also considered for the job when AVB got sacked but the fan's protests at that time made the Russian go for Rdm instead.Anyways its clear that Roman wants only Pep and well if Pep decides to manage some other club instead then Benitez might be our full time manager(if he wins us something).Personally,I think Jose should be our PLAN A but god only knows whats going on between the Special one and Roman and where Jose's intentions are(United maybe?)If things don't materialize then we must accept Rafa.He's got us playing well again and is getting the results(irrespective of the opposition).

When I first saw him,I thought he was Ruud's son.

He's gone.Lets move on.

Wouldn't be a bad short term solution for us.At the start of the season,I had Klose in mind for a similar role but sadly that never happened.Villa would do well for us and could have a high re sell value in the future as well.

His departure is good for both parties.Danny will get the chance to play cf and well now we can finally get a proven center forward in the team.
