Shakhtar looks tired, its time to score now.

Mikel is fantastic tonight. Whatever you say, briliant player so far.

Fernandinho could be short term solution in problems on CM too. He seems good in tackling, marking as well as passing and crossing.

Well Flu is leading in brasil serie a and Wallace is their starting RB. Seems like a good talent and only 18.

Capoue, Benat, Banega, Tino Costa, De Rossi, Vidal, Bender boys as CM/CDM Falcao, Cavani, Lewandowski, Martinez, Jovetič, Damiao as ST My fav option would be top striker and a good loan CM with option to buy in summer. Since Mikel will go in january, maybe getting Essien back wouldnt be bad either.

A 'formation of players' or a LINEUP if you didnt noticed

Gotze plays fantastic vs Real. He even scored.

Ramos - 40mio Tiote/Fellaini - 20mio Falcao/Cavani - 50mio --- Yeah Im sure we will spend 110mio in January...If we get Falcao only we should be extremly happy. Rdm could just decide to play Torres for rest of the year, no new striker and fuck our wishes off. Besides Ramos will sure stay in RM for few years at least.

Great striker but too old. Way too old for our team. And the injury might even shorten his footballing career.

Maybe we should just loan CM this winter. Buy striker and loan one good cm. In summer Kdb returns and even Essien. We wont need another CM then.

Next year, I hope we wont loan him. If he wont play (which I doubt), we can still loan him in winter.

This: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11679/8227076/Roma-admit-they-will-always-listen-to-offers-for-prized-midfielder-Daniele-De-Rossi In other words, huge offer and Roma would probably alow De Rossi to go. I guess it was De Rossi in summer who didnt want to go to City, if those rumours about 50mio bid are true. Real is also keen to pay around 25mio pounds for him.

Completely agree. Falcao is deadly once he gets in penalty area, while Cavani also has very good passing abilities (in Napoli, Hamšik, Cavani and Lavezzi were passing the ball alot), his vision is also very good for a striker. Defo, he is more similar to RVP in his style rather to Falcao. We all know Cech likes to pass long balls and Cavani would catch them much easier than Falcao. Just because Falcao wins many headers from crosses and scores goals, jumping in middle of field and keeping possesion is something he cant do. Cavani is also year younger and wouldnt be unders such pressure like Falcao. And IF Falcao came here, he would want to be star man, while Hazard, Mata will also play big role and might not like to be behind Falcao. But then again, we have plenty of creativity, and once ball goes to Falcao, his movement/dribbling to out-mark his opponent defenders is incredible. In the end, striker shall score goals and as long he does, there would be no complaint. Both are classy strikers, each has advantages and weaknesses, but until one will come and play, all our talk is plain guessing who would fit better. I would be happy with anyone of the two, as long he would score goals.

Nainggolan wouldnt be bad shot, if he is capable to play on top level, but no thanks to Hoger and Moritz. They are not even regular starters at Schalke, where Holtby and Neustader? (cant remember his name) are first choices.

Matri, Vucinic and Quagliarela were doing just fine. And you know its serie a we are talking about? Complete bs is going there, juve is like United in epl. It doesnt matter how bad they play, they always win by luck, ref help or sth. You know how many offside goal juve scored last season.

I thought it was between Atletico and Cfc for Falcao?

We should buy every talent then... 1.) he is attacking player and cant defend (CAM). We are weak on CM, ST, DM, CB. 2.) barca kid through and through. If he impress, return is certain 3.) Pay 25mio on player that never had regular football on pro level? 4.) Three positions he could play and we already have Oscar, Hazard, Mata, Kdb to fill in. He is great talent but not needed and his barca string is too strong, we should spend 25mio elsewhere

Song made big mistake when joining Barca. Yes they are big team and all, but he is not near as important he would be in any other team. Despite he is only half year there, we have more chance to sign him than we would if he had still played for Arsenal, so I say it was a great transfer in case we will be interested in this guy. And about his loyaly to Arsenal; well he said he is staying and few days later left. Enoug said.

If Pep came, it would be either sucess or disaster. I like his coaching tone, he seems calm when its required and takes what its necessary. I remember that barca was losing, and he subed Xavi because he had bad game. You need some balls to do that when your losing. Anyway, he suited Barca realy well, he was their legend as RdM is ours. But Pep could never give that passion to Chelsea like he did to Barca. Unless he would stay here for long time. And we all know how Roman acts. No trophy and your gone. There are two things why could be good to have Pep; Rdm makes weird subs, he should try new options and sub bad players. We want play the style of game that Pep is master of it. However at Chelsea, Roman is the boss and there is lot more pressure, more than in barca on coach. But even Pep is shit sometimes; he always makes weird subs; like puting in Keita at wrong times etc. And secondly, he only knows how to attack, once his tactics are read, he cant play differently. Im sure he couldnt play barca style here, but he still has no clue about defendinf. Here, Rdm wins big time. Last year, we were playing 10 defenders and won, this year its total offensive and Rdm did well in both ways. Subs remain his main problem, but I guess that he fears Roman, because Im sure he is thinking about title a bit and every game is very important. Whats the conclusion? Pep as coach and Rdm as second coach - assistant But I fully suport Rdm.

I dont want Pep as coach, I dont want this guy either. Not because Thiago would be bad player (he is big talent) but because if he played well for us, there is not smallest chance of keeping him. Barca would come, he would follow. Anyway Alex Song is having a very small role in barca , maybe we should buy him in winter? I know he just joined barca, but here, he would be starter. Great player, would pair with Mikel great. Song is perfect upgrade for Rambo.

Agree, KDB is easily Lamps sucessor if he evolves properly. But I can only see him shine in 4-3-3 system Mikel Oscar/Rambo-KDB Mata-striker-Hazard In 4-2-3-1 Lamps was quite bad comparing him to his standard position in 4-3-3 as creative attacking midfielder with good tracking back. In 4-2-3-1, I can see him only if he would play with a fantastic DM (like Essien was), where KDB would have more freedom and wouldnt need to defend much. Along Mikel, I dont see him work well. Mikel is sometimes terrible (sometimes fantastic) and KDB would play Lampard role, more offensive. That would be too open for opponents.

Replaying to your stats: 1. January has 31 days. Enough to find and buy new good striker. If they do that, they would sell for their asking price. 2. If their asking price is lets say 50mio and we offer it, they would sell. Besides us, who can buy him? Real is off the race, Mou said they dont buy Atletico players. Barca is not going to buy him, as their coach said. United is filled with strikers, so is City. PSG bought Ibrahimovic and not Ibra, not Falcao wants to share the spot. Zenit spend huge in summer, cant see them buying another 50mio player. Besides if Falcao would want to go there, I find lack of ambition in him and wouldnt want him here then. I believe he would play for big club or stay in Atletico. So if we offer the asking price, they find replacement, why wouldnt they sell him to only realistic buyer? In summer we could go after Cavani or someone else, maybe Atletico because of their financial issues wouldnt want to risk and sell player for cheaper price in summer. 3. Well if there will be no buyers to match his price, even us (and I believe if Roman wants him, he will go with max amount that he is prepare to pay for him in january, not in summer. We lack of in form striker NOW, not in summer), then he will stay. 4. They bought him for 35mio, they know he is wanted, they will want max of his value. We match 50mio, while other buyers never show real interest, they wont sell? Its Atletico, not some that could lose titles because of that sale. The only three questions are this: 1. Will Roman give 50mio for Falcao? Does the board realy wants to buy striker in January? 2. If Atletico thinks they can win europa league again, will they sell Falcao? 3. Will Atletico find replacement for Falcao? (if they do, second question has no importance anymore) IF Atletico gets Chicarito or Huntelaar in january, and we offer them 50mio for Falcao, Atletico will sell him. Period.

Yes he is. Well we would then need a CM that is creative, but is not going forward. Someone that can tackle too. In Borussia, Sahin was exactly that. He was b2b player that went forward when his team played offensive and defend when oposite side had the ball. The CM along his passing and creativity, should also tackle and run fast enough to follow the ball in midfield and mark opposite players. Yaya Toure type player would be great aswell. About Inigo, I heard he is good YOUNG Cb that is one of brightest prospects of spanish defenders. But there it is, he is young and I dont trust young defenders too much. Defending is all about experience and that comes with years of playing. Older defenders are much better tacklers, they stick to defending duties, dont make harsh unnecessary tackles and mark well. Besides, we have Kalas and Bruma if we want to play with talented young CBs.

The pressure on our players is huge and with this racism thing even bigger. Some players will focus more on that than on football. But if this is true (about racism from Clattenburg), he should be found guilty and thats it. If its not, then I have no idea why club lodged complaint... The last thing I want is when people talk about Chelsea, is not about football, but about off-pitch stuff. It kills club reputation and player's ambitions, motivations, preparations, trainings,...We dont have 30yrs old players that can handle all situations, but young talents that right now, instead of how to win games, they think about this incident.
