Strike

Should have made a CM as the priority this summer. Hopefully we dont end up signing another meireles

Congrats Ollie. Fully deserved Spike's eusive quest continues.

i was saying in terms of what chelsea need atm. i think a creative mid should have been our priority just like last season and kagawa was the best option in that - skill, cheap and asian expansion. sad to see united nick him

kagawa is better value for money and kinda like exactly what we need - a creative CM. We missed a trick by not trying for kagawa here

welcome to tc there are a few chelsea fans from wales on here, i believe

You can add records to the ex-blues section yourself. i will add Bosingwa in a bit but anyone else, try and add more ex-players to the section. looks really short

we, members, have to cut mods/admins some slack. after all, they have worked hard without pay to maintain the site and also, they are humans and make mistakes as well BUTsome of the recent restriction placed recently are not clear. as capri said, what constitutes thread derailing? is it taken in terms of a whole page or post-by-post? also, the offensive word use thing, what is the limit you are proposing? if the restrictions are forcing us to be careful of what we type, i think we will lose more members hope things clear up on the forum fast.

so, hazard to be unveiled today?

welcome to the site good to see a wide range of posters here

i can't seem to be able to access the ex-blues section. is it being edited or something?

i have to say i will miss the days when lampard or drogba would turn up and drag us out of a hole but all things must come to an end i guess. i hope the new chelsea has as much character as the talent because that is what defines a football club imo

don't see the need for him. however good he maybe, there are better players at chelsea who look set to hold on to the striker spot for 5-6 years (sturridge and lukaku) and with Piazon coming through the ranks, the wings too have adequate backup. would love to add a CM ahead of a CF or LW atm also, please rename the thread to just "Lazar Markovic" for ease of use and uniformity.

Hazard's dribbling

actually, they would be better off getting martinez

aston villa are not much bigger than norwich right now although villa have room for improvement plus the budget to achieve it i guess

i thought swansea were speaking with graeme jones?

that is the only reason that could explain this. transfer funds to improve

Can't see what he can achieve at Villa that he can't do at Norwich. The Villa squad is the weakest in a long time. Darren Bent and maybe Albrighton are the only quality players

yeah. real effective in the final i get your point though. adds pace and flair to our attack and that will inadvertently help torres but we have to think about defensive duties here. mata can be bypassed too easily and hazard and hulk's defending will not be enough against good opponents. also, the bayern attack has had its fair share of problems. robben-ribs dispute etc plus, the bayern attack had a solid base to rely on in the form of schweinsteiger while we have lampard who is aging and can't physically out-run or outmuscle opponents.

good. he didn't have a great season at ajax and i think we should invest in a more solid Right-back.

don't think the vdv story is true. no official word except that he has been "offered" to chelsea for 8mil.

sorry buddy. it says 2nd of June here. you didn't take the world time difference into account, i guess anyway, Welcome to the Forum and stick around

add to that, i remember KieranVogel(i think) warning him for a homosexual comment (faggot) he was warned before.
