Our defenders oftenly just hoof the ball from defense into middle pitch. Thank god we have tall players out there. There are too many times when we are under attack collect the ball and one of defenders or midfieldes just hoofs the ball as far as possible only to be regained by opposition because Hazard Willian Pedro etc cant get to it. If you think Griezmann would work in chelsea and PL, then good luck. You need either physicality or balance, neither Griezmann has. About goals, Cesc and Pedro were very decent in that in spain. Look look how much they score in pl now... Griz is top player but not for Chelsea.

RLC playing under Mourinho? Lol good joke.

I personaly dont see how would he suit us. He isnt physicaly strong, he isnt striker and he isnt a hard worker like Muller or Costa. With Mourinho, and his long ball tactics, Griezmann is useless. He isnt tall enough to collect them or push through defense. He doesnt have balance of Ageuro either. On wing, his goals would drop not to mention he isnt as hard worker as Willian or even Hazard. He suits perfectly in la liga. Just because he is good player and available it doesnt mean he suits us.

Age is small problem but regardless he is top top B2B player. Gundogan Matic and Matuidi would be amazing midfield. Will never happen tho.

Tbh he was about to leave dortmund in summer but no club was ready to pay him 10m euro paycheck. Then he extended with bvb BUT only for two years to 2017. I think there is HUGE chance of him moving if we (or another top club) bids 30m+ for him. The only question is not will he leave but where. And barca if realy interested are one hell of a competition for us. But its not impossible. If we are ready to break the bank, we will get him. That said, I dont trust our board much. They would offer 40m for stones, but at same time say 20m is too much for gundogan.

Interesting prospect

Brilliant. Well done lads. Everyone did their part and no Fabregas which is a pleasant surprise. Finaly a complete performance from Tibo to Costa, glad it worked out for us for once. And the fans were amazing too. CL trophy here we come :blue scalf: Anything can happen in next few months, I just hope we get Gundogan to replace Cesc, even if we have to fork 30m+ if that is necessary. That is only thing I realy wish we do in january.

Its so obvious Cesc and Iva are his yes men, thats why he keeps playing them.

When the team is in bad form, manager deserves time to get it back on track. But when the same manager insists with Ivanovic over Azpilicueta, when he claims we need "height" despite we dont have a proper free kick/corner crosser. And when the manager who is all about work rate and off the ball movement and fighting spirit keeps playing Fabregas who is absolute wanker. And when manager doesnt give a chance to RLC (for who said he will be given proper chance) despite our team is out of form for months, then I have my doubts. We play like shit. We have shit results. We dont evolve youth. We dont improve individualy or on team level. Not to mention all the off-pitch crap we had this season. Noting wrong with bad form. It comes back and there is little a manager can do. But decisions are all his. And Mou is making bad decision after bad decision for some time now. Its his philosophy. And that wont change.

Having one coach sure brings stability, but we have failed at it. Being champions to being 15th is anything but stability. Jose has totaly lost it. From tactics to style to player selection to youth. Nothing absolutely nothing positive in this season. FFS considering how fucking shit we are, he could at least play RLC every game. But no he sticks to shit underperming Cesc. Sums it up realy.

It was hilarious until november. Millions spent and we play like shit at SB against fecking Bournemouth.

Cesc shit again...what else is new

Congrats on winning serbian POTY.

Exactly. We dont need anymore deadwood here.

He can be better on paper and statistics but he will never perform on pitch as good against better teams than Gundogan. Even inform Cesc last season was piss poor against top opponents. Sure assists are great thing, and that can save you if you are #10 or winger. But for CM and to play under manager like Mou, you need alot more. And Cesc simply isnt that. If we miss Gundogan to fucking liverpool or juve, and stick with Cesc just because Mou is his friend, I will be dissapointed. If Barca goes with bid we have no chance, but if anyone else bids for him, we should counter offer as much as it takes to get him.

Klopp and Ibe Im realy looking forward how it will work out. Ibe is talented and Klopp is great at developing players.

Valencia will play barcelona on saturday. Gary takes over on sunday. His first decision was a good one indeed.

Actualy a very good point. He is going nowhere by sitting on our bench while I would be realy pissed if we sell him or send him on some stupid loan to Vitesse. With Gary new coach at valencia, I think it might work, but they already have Gomes, Fuego, Enzo and Parejo so I doubt he would get into team now. Maybe if he was there whole summer and impress the coach... I think best would be PL loan but sadly most teams have trusted midfield or average coach who would do RLC more harm than good. But if he only wants to play maybe loan to sunderland or bournemouth.

As long he is chelsea player I will support him. Not that he does right things but nevertheless he brought us title last season and fought for the club.

Yeah because after being in togo since september will make him fit for a club like Chelsea right? I think its time to move from this gamble bullshit options and go for a player who will actualy do his job and not only waste money and time. There is a reason why Adebayor couldnt get into spurs team, not just in first 11 but even in the subs. His attitude and fitness alone are question right now, not to mention he is already 31. Just because Drogba did well last year, what has Adebayor got to do with it? Is he a leader, chelsea legend or great character like Didi? No he isnt. He was probably doing fuck all for past three months in Togo. But hey he is available so get him? He was out of form one year now Im tired of giving these wannabes like Falcao or Adebayor another chance. If they wanted to succeed they would work hard at their previous club and not live in past. Get a proper players with ambitions and character even if its just 3rd striker.

Pigs will fly sooner than Muller leaving Bayern.

He has great talent but his character is questionable. I dont think he is pushing himself enough to improve. There is reason why Giroud and even Gignac get chances ahead of him in nt.

He misses Turan's kebabs.

Im always careful when comes to players from smaller leagues but dont forget many shakhtar players play realy well now in germany and england. Not to forget Suarez who started in ajax and is now freakishly good striker for couple years. Teixeira had two extremely good goalscoring seasons and IMO its worth the risk in january. But not for anything more than 30m, that price is more than fair.
