like a really big echo

Jose's words - 'We don't want to make public the bid but it is just a certain amount of money and it doesn't involve players or players in the possibility of negotiation. No Juan Mata, no David Luiz.'

DailyMail further reporting that Barcelona will offer 10m + Messi for Downing

doesn't happen as often as you think. sure there will be swapping and such but if you look at last season, generally, it was Oscar and hazard on the wings and Mata in the middle.

look at the wording - "offer believed to be 10mil + a player, thought to be Mata or Luiz" Too much guessing in one rumour. probably bullshit

Centre Attacking Mid or CM, Last year Oscar and Eden Hazard were played on the wings. There are a lot of people posting here that they will do better at CAM or in central role. Playmaker may not be the term to clearly express what i wanted to say as you can have playmakers at different positions/levels. i meant operating centrally

Chelsea have a problem of plenty when it comes to playmakers. Last season, Juan Mata played the role for the bulk of the season and did a brilliant job of it - 17 goals and 22 assists only enhancing the argument for him. But Chelsea also have Brazil's #10 Oscar and the returning Kevin de Bruyne in the squad, not to mention Eden Hazard. Each of them brings a slightly different skill-set, so who do you think should be Chelsea's playmaker this season? and more importantly Why?

anyone else notice a brilliant bargain former Chelsea player?

transfer should depend merely on other factors. his ability is out of question for me

i think what he meant was we shouldn't get into it (europa) in the first place. Mourinho is a winner. until last year, i don't remember chelsea preparing for the possibility of getting out of CL in the group stages. he's come in and put things back in it's proper place

is the source for this story tancredi palmeri? that's slightly worrying

Jose Mourinho revealed that he talked Frank Lampard into staying at Chelsea - before he returned to Stamford Bridge as manager.

Not exactly footballer but Tom Henning Ovrebo

that would be useful against the likes of bayern, barca etc who like to control possession. much like robbie did last year with mikel - meireles - ramires - lampard

it's not always proportional to size. India has a population of 1.2 billion. But best football player in history - Michael Chopra even he's only by descent

I might have slightly changed team name and point-scoring has been revised. atleast Bonus points. do check it out on their site

Meh. England is better

Overpopulation is not something to brag about though

not like i mind that

Ferdinand. Doesn't matter which

OP looks Professional. Nice work

Nice. I've always struggled to explain FPL to newbies. I'm gonna use this post from now

remove the '+' @Steve,

Karanka was the inside man at Real Madrid like Steve Clarke at Chelsea and Baresi at Inter. Not one of Mourinho's loyal coaches. Not sure about this.

It will be pure comedy if Arsenal spend the summer chasing him and we get him. Mata 2.0
