watched him today. nothing great. ofcourse, this is the only game i've seen of him and i don't know much about him but from what i've seen, i would say he's another Mineiro. to be fair, the whole team was being pegged back by Al Ahly
-
why'd you go for Spike Spiegal in the first place?
-
the corinthians keeper looks as good as the Monterrey guy...why did he come out? and after he did, how did the ball go past him there? (the aboutrika pass that lead to a chance)
-
let's be honest. he was poor last season. very poor actually. can't hide that. i wouldn't be surprised if the club don't exercise the option of calling him back
-
we need depth till the summer anyway. Romeu is out for the season almost. We should get him back or get decent cover in the market
-
in all this i doubt that Pep will even come to Chelsea. Recently i saw unconfirmed quotes that Barca players hate Chelsea more than even Real Madrid. that gets me thinking that Pep may not be interested in the Chelsea job at all. all this talk about the club rebuilding this summer maybe moot if Pep snubs us and joins City or something.
-
i'm sure we can manage to sign a cheaper player that can do the job in midfield. i read a link today that had Sergio Busquets and 30million GBP in the same sentence. his contract expires in 2015 - 2 years from this summer and Barca won't be keen to offload him unless we overpay. Joao Moutinho is a cheaper and better option imo or Axel Witsel if he tries to force his way out of Zenit. Able to fill the CM role although they are more attack minded than Sergio
-
Is it confirmed? no Official report
-
with sam hutchinson out on loan, shouldn't we register a youth player as one of our HG players in the event of Sturridge leaving? we would have only 7 HG's then - Lamps, JT, Bertrand, Cole, Cahill, Turnbull, Moses
-
true. all those gits - Skrtel, Agger, Suarez signed new contracts. sterling must have wanted a pay-rise. hence the reason for holding out
-
When we trail, we should really be throwing the kitchen sink at the opposition. but sadly we don't have the option of putting another striker next to Fernando
-
Outs Sturridge - 13mil - looks like he's leaving Ins Replacement for Sturridge. If i was a member of the Chelsea staff, i would have Walcott at the top of the list. Walcott and another striker among - Ba (7.5mil) Huntelaar (7mil) Bony (again, cheap) or Bent to have some options in attack. we wouldn't be making a loss as well if possible - a decent cover for Romeu
-
would love to have Walcott here. pure pace and a surprisingly good finisher. is he leaving in January or waiting till the summer?
-
Mikel is good. but hardly world class. he does the job expected off him although he's no Essien or Yaya Toure if you will. Passing is not a big concern as he is tasked with just keeping possession but he's not the beast of a midfielder we want in CDM. he rarely ventures forward and that's because his movement is not as good as Essien or Yaya. he plays well with Ramires. Rami's movement and his strength make a good combo but with Mikel and Ramires, we basically have 2 DM's and Ramires' passing is pretty poor. Mikel is a good option to have in the squad - to throw on if we lead.
-
what now? our wing options cut down in addition to central mid and attack. can't see a decent winger or striker available for under 15 mil. Raheem Sterling maybe - he's holding out on a new contract isn't he?
-
lol. One year we turn over a profit...can't wait to see what the finances look like next year. with FFP in play, better tread carefully while dealing in the market. Falcao? Impossible
-
yes and i hope we can minimise the financial set back. how much do you get for winning the EL?
-
would've put Drogs in there. but yeah Falcao, Ronaldo and Messi are too good to leave out
-
not weaker. but we do lack depth in several areas. midfield and attack is quite evident but in the case of the attacking mids, we haven't used the options available to us. Marin has been fit for about a month now? yet to start a game
-
the depth in midfield is shot to it's knees now with Romeu's injury. I hope we can get a cover in January or a bargain deal for someone who can distribute the ball well rather than just tackle and keep possession. the midfield is already without Mikel and will lose him for the African Cup of Nations. Worst case scenario in our search for midfield cover - get McEachran back in the squad as for the team, lampard and terry returning now and we should see us go on a run in the next few games. all easy on paper - except Everton away. hopefully we are safely nestled in 3rd position come January
-
title aspirations grew when hazard started tearing up defences and then mata got into form. the win against spurs was the peak of our RDM team but one loss aided by Clattenburg ruined the team's momentum. players should be blamed as they never recovered from that loss. at one point i believed that top 3 was a minimum and we would be challenging for the title. now - top 4 - priority
-
i believe we should readjust our season objectives. secure Top 3 finish and try winning the Europa League/FA Cup/CWC Rebuilding is best left to the summer where we install a better manager - Pep or Jose preferably
-
yeah. i get it. completely irrelevant post then.
-
true. the way stoke and west ham play, you really need a wide-screen TV to follow the ball.
-
you'll be hoping he becomes a Chelsea star no doubt.so not really an option as a 3rd striker now? WAGNH must be right. this maybe a sweetener for Wilfried Bony
