English Freak

Who started the comparison between Gotze and Lucas Moura? it's pointless. No point really discussing whether Gotze will be a Ballon D'or winner because he aint leaving Dortmund. At the end of the day, I don't see Chelsea signing Hazard or Lucas Moura.

Fair point, if he's available for say 10 million, we could do worse than sign him.

I wouldn't go as far as saying that he's a rubbish player. He used to be world-class... Building our team around Torres is a risk...it should be interesting to see who gets the chance at CF if Torres flops again next season.

I'm not confident. Would be good to see Sturridge play CF.

So we're not going to spend OTT in wages...well last time I checked, Torres & Aguero earn similar amounts of money.

Modric for 30-35 million? There are better midfielders out there for that sort of fee.

True..but Chelsea would be better off without the 50 million dollar striker. Why oh why did we let Aguero join Citeh.

Would be great to see Torres come off the bench. Hope he doesn't start against Bayern. Expecting to see: -------- Cech ------------- Bos--Cahill---Luiz---Cole -----Mikel------Lamps Sturridge---Mata-----Kalou --------Drogba-------------

Gotze > Lucas Moura anyday. Wouldn't mind signing Lucas, he's got good skills...but I doubt that'll happen, he should be signing for Real Madrid by the end of the transfer window.

Torres didn't do much after being subbed on. Tried to make a few runs but got blocked off by a few Blackburn players. Would of been better off giving Piazon a 20 minute debut.

Definitely, anything more than 30 million for Hulk is a waste of money.

Malouda & Kalou were never solid. After the injuries, Essien is a weak link in our midfield. Meireles is a fairly solid rotation player. Ferreira is as solid as you can be without playing any games.

Crouch an immovable statue...Really? I don't think a poacher like Higuain would suit our tactics.

Ayew, Azpi...and someone decent who can play CM/DM.

How do you know that he'll never get here? Courtois needs regular game time for his development. Don't see how bringing him back will benefit the player or the club.

Atletico ain't gonna sell Falcao unless they get cash.

You're joking right? Torres is worth at max 15 million now. Falcao is easily worth 35 million or higher.

Get the win. Let Bertrand, Lukaku start the match. Hopefully Turnbull is not the starting GK.

If Atletico are willing to sell Falcao, let's give them 40 million + Torres.

What are our chances of getting Moutinho...and do we need him for our midfield?

Would be awesome to see Piazon & Lukaku playing from the start against the Chickens.

I like the trolling with Cisse. He loves it at Newcastle, he aint leaving. Wouldn't be surprised to see Ben Arfa leave for Juventus/Inter Milan.

Read the article...obviously it seems like he doesn't want to play in Serie A...but you never know, stranger things have happened. If he wants to stay in EPL, we should definitely look at signing him. If Man City want to sell abroad, Juve (they want a striker) and Dortmund (they possibly need a striker...with Barrios off to China...Kagawa off to United, Lewandowski linked to EPL clubs) would be the most viable options.

I just have the feeling that Dzeko will be a Juventus player next season.

IF Jovetic wants to join Chelsea, sign him up Roman! Always liked that kid. What a player.
