What? Debuchy is fine fullback. One of best in PL and did well in WC. But still surprised they havent bought Aurier after all those rumours and good WC games.

Wrong topic lol

I dont miss him as defender but more as character. One of biggest personalities in today football. Winning mentality, character, profesionalism, respect and a big joker. This guy has everything.

Neymar out. Its your time to make it or break it. Oscar will now probably take key role for brazil, we will see how will he control the pressure.

I dont think Germany was all that great...france got wrong approach and they didnt fight and run enough to win it except for last 15min which is not enough. Algeria and Ghana were close with Germany, I thinj this was game of experience and nerves, germans won it and now it looks like they did a world class job, but to be honest France had more chances to score. Apart fron Hummels header and Schurrle chances when France was playing higher, Germans didnt do anything special except for endless passing in midfield that neutralised France team. I hope Brazil beats Germans. That Muller deserves a punch in thr face also.

Better the board holds official comfirmation because they are waiting Torres to fuck off. They usualy never put fee agreed on Chelsea page, but just contract agreed. This time they did this to show world Costa is Cfc player. Not official but everyone understands it. The reason this isnt official is because Costa would then be pictured in kit with number on it, but right now both 9 and 19 are used. It might take some time to get one of those free.

If Mou will go with 4:3:3 next season with Cesc as AM, I think he must definately bring Pogba/Vidal/...here because all the good things Cesc will bring to midfield, Rambo will destroy it. He was good sometime ago, but this year he is terrible and shoudnt be a starter. Him in current form wont make our midfield good even with Cesc.

As long he gets REGULAR playtime I dont mind him going to Monaco/Sunland. But if he will sit on bench I prefer him to stay here.

Pogba is expensive because there is few realy good CMs. There is sea of AMs, but top CM players like Pogba who can defend, be tacticaly sound and have great ball control and vision are fewer. Count that Pogba is 21 and will probably evolve into twice the player he is atleast, the price is understandable. Is he worth it? No, but few players are realy worth the price clubs pay for them. Is Pogba worth the investment in today football? YES.

Way too much, but that gives you quality today I guess. Mangala is perfect for City, he will evolve in top CB, Kompany-Mangala looks very strong.

Real Sociedad singed Alfred Finnbogasson for 8mio. Best dutch striker last season, scored 29 goals. Brilliant deal IMO.

Is it smart to compare today Cesc with one from 3/4 years ago? I mean, Torres was good few years ago too, but that didnt mean he would be good for us too. I think Cesc is now different player, he isnt as fast and mobile, neither motivated like he was in Arsenal. I think he will be good here, but lets see how he does first.

Whats the bad thing is that neither Cesc or Oscar cant stay back and defend and allow Matic to bomb forward. Last year, Matic was great at runing forward with ball, now with Cesc and Oscar, his role will be very limited. Thats why someone like Pogba would be best in our midfield. To offer some cover if Matic goes forward. And now with Matic limited, he wont be half player he could be. He will be beast in defending, but he can do much more than that.

Did you even read what I wrote in second post?

Unlesss Oscar/Willian leaves (I dont want that though), Di Maria/Alexis/James are not required.

19mio is lot, maybe Mou is looking for alternative in Rodriguez,...or just hopes that Atletico lowers their price. I doubt anyone will buy Luis who is already 28 and Mou plays on that card. 15mio£ would be more fair price. In the end, Im sure Mou will bring top LB, whoever that would be.

Yup, but that wasnt my point realy. Even I saw Origi did better in first three games, and Lukaku underperformed. Its normal to be critical even to your own players. However I dislike the attitude and constant bashing and complete lack of thrust of certain posters on our players. Constant talk he is shit he should be sold, everyone is better etc after 2/3 games they saw. That annoys me. They have no patience and belief in our own players and they call themselves Chelsea fans.

Its funny that there were some smart asses who blamed Lukaku for everything and praised Origi. But what is even funnier now is that after Lukaku scored winner and put them doubters here wrong, they still want to hide it with fact that Origi was "better" in game, the same game where Lukaku scored winner and assisted the other. Origi is not even our player while Lukaku is and yet they are protecting Origi. Seriously no disrepect to anyone directly, but if you cant support our players in best and worst (including Oscar and others), you can simply fuck off. I am sick of listening "football experts" who watch game and jerk on Origi, James, Sanchez,...while completely trashing Oscar, Lukaku, Costa,...and change opinion after every game...chelsea fans my ass.

Honestly with all the past striker trouble we had, I can never be too excited about any striker we sign, but I hope Costa becomes the striker we have been looking ever since Drogba left. Welcome Diego and score many goals for us

They also sold Cesc knowing Xavi will leave too...I guess they didnt fill the expectations that barca board had. But in all honesty Cesc, Alexis and before Ibra had little real chance to amaze the board because whole Barca is jerking on messi and iniesta/xavi. I can see Neymar leaving in few years too. They are all top players; but barca cant unleash their full potential I guess. Even 19 goals from Sanchez seems not to impress barca to keep him...

Tottenham...the difference is liverpool will splash on "world class" english players...

Liverpool without Suarez = average. I will be happy if he goes.

Whoever comes, I will fucking miss Ash, Ricky, Drogba, Lamps, Cech, Makelele, Bison, Terry, Paulo,...That generation was simply too good and I doubt there will be any other generation that I will like more. Ash, thank you for 8 years and best of luck wherever you go now :tophat:

Gaal will definately bring another dutchman there IMO. Either Strootman, Blind or Robben (dificult though). Indeed strong team. But their defence will be terrible again if they dont buy proper Cb or two.

60m is too much, but I doubt he will go for less considering the transfers recently. Juve aint stupid.
