capriccioso spike speigel Henrique

the hulk rumors have resurfaced today . still think hulk is the best winger on the market especially after lavezzi moved. wouldn't mind Hulk And moses but would be seriously disappointed if we sign only moses in the end

not necessarily true as the skipper pointed out. ramires can work the box to box role and having him is better than having mikel especially when we want to break down mid table teams. gives mata that extra option to pass to without compromising the defence because he has the pace and stamina to get back. that's the fuckin beauty abt ramires i would even go as far as playing lampard-ramires or de bruyne-ramires because we have to impose ourselves onto midtable teams next season. mikel will be a de jong in our system. having him against wigan and west brom will be pointless

as the hulk rumour has died down, getting moses in is not a bad option. after all there are only few good wingers on the market at present and if we get moses, i think we will continue with sturridge or ramires at RW atleast at the start of next season. gives moses time to bed in. i didnt mean 2-3 league cup matches because our fixture list may even stretch to 60 games next season

dont think it would be a bad deal. he will be better than kalou and malouda and unlike sturridge i dont think he would mind being the backup for a while. imo, sturridge should be pushed up to ST to give Nando backup or play alongside Nando when needed and Moses or someone should be signed as the backup winger along with the RB and CM. perfect summer

didn't u go for last year's game as well? hopefully we win this time

not really sure of 15 points if the team doesn't gel well

i hoped no one would notice that anyway happy with wigan away first up

we should first cement a top 4 place. we could be fighting for 4th with that run in. yes, hazard, hulk etc are coming but that doesn't mean we are gonna stroll through every game. an overhaul doesn't happen overnight ,or in this case - over a summer, we should first start playing better attacking football. use ground passing more often rather than relying on dumping it to the target man (which next season will be nando :banghead: ) a title challenge is possible but its not realistic to think that those games will be played for deciding the title

ivanovic, at cb, has not done as well as he has played at RB. there is no shoving aside but an accurate depiction of the situation by SeB. ivanovic should be first choice RB and a 4th choice CB. he should play CB only if it's ABSOLUTELY needed because we have 3 perfectly good centrebacks

perfect back up to the midfielders. good right foot on him as well

i missed few of our cup games due to the broadcasters deciding to air manchester united vs crystal palace instead. otherwise, all games

to be fAir, she doesn't seem to be a bimbo. seems a proper matured woman. dont think hazard is bad on a personal level relevant factor is his lack of english, malouda to be kept as translator?

he is second choice striker now. last season, torres got 49 games as second choice. no reason why sturridge should leave if he'll get close to 50 games due to our fixtures next season

A mikel-fellaini partnership is too negative. we need forward thinking midfield partnership to break down smaller teams. lampard-cabaye, lampard-ramires etc

don't see why we have to sell him though. if we do sell him, we are left with only 1 genuine striker and 1 lukaku. should hold on to him in case porto dont budge on hulk

essien, mikel, meireles, romeu (even lampard and ramires to an extent) can play CDM. no need for fellaini. the thing is none of the CDM's are creative. maybe lampard is better than the rest of them but we need a real creative source deep in our system. cabaye or moutinho is required not fellaini. as good as fellaini is defensively, we dont need him

silly to put penalties as a pro on cavani's pros and cons. we have Luiz, Lampard, Cole. end of discussion

not what we need atm. he is more of the direct attacking type. not the schemer we require

surprised swansea managed to get him

the daily mirror is reporting a 6m fee from Chelsea. that would be brilliant imo. debuchy can go up and down the right flank all day. his tracking back is still a little suspect because yesterday against ukraine, he got an unnecessary yellow for barging in on the attacker from behind because he was out of position. not sure if this is a weakness but overall he is sound in defence and offence. with debuchy and a CM, our team will actually look top class for a change.

but given isn't npower championship quality

i feel you are highly biased to homegrown players. for the sheer number of finals/semifinals he has won by himself, he deserves to be in the discussion for greatest chelsea striker anyway, torres to start the season as our primary forward with sturridge and lukaku on hand if needed.. hulk to assume ST role if torres rots again

i have seen both hulk and adam johnson enough to know hulk should be our signing between those. let's forget the fact that i am completely against signing another winger, if it came down to hulk or johnson/jarvis, i would definitely pick hulk. we are moving forward as a club and we have to use this champions league winners tag to attract TOP quality talent. adam johnson is a big risk at Chelsea and i think he will be nothing more than a rotation option. having 2-3 rotation options is not better than having 1 quality player.. hulk has the power especially over johnson. in the premier league, johnson may skin stephen ward but will come a cropper against an evra. hulk will be a better fit given that he will provide a backup to fernando if he misfires. trusting sturridge and lukaku to come good at ST is a bit risky

Ronaldinho? He was brilliant. no one incorporated skill moves into real gameplay and still turned out to be world class. he was the sole reason for barca dominance pre-messi. the team was nowhere near him then
