I dislike barca style a lot. If we turn to that tiki taka shit I wont like it a bit. I prefer more attacking football, but in terms of quick, creative passing and nice touches. Not endless passing in middle of pitch. The style of Ancelotti or RM when they play with counters, City attacking style or even Brazil style from 2002. That is football when you see beauty of it with all those goals, assists, runs, dribbles and actions. Not this shit from barca with those cheating cunts, and game you fall asleep after five minutes! No thank you Pep and I hope you dont come near SB!

Tacticaly, he is shit. All he can do is 'attack, attack, attack'. Once they lead, he makes bad changes (xavi out, keita in)... Dont even say about transfers; Selling Toure, buying Ibra, Chygrinsky, Afellay, Adriano,... Alexis is decent, Cesc wasnt his wish, but it was wish of barca to get back that kid. The only realy good buy he made was Villa. He needed cb, but he never bought him... He would won nothing, if there was no Messi Xavi and Iniesta. Once barca had problems, Pep did nothing because he is not good tactic. The only good thing about him was that he knew barca style because he played there and he continued that mentality to his players. He was lucky to have such good squad. That confirms he is perfect barca coach, maybe spanish too, but shit elsewhere where you need to play organised, tactical defense and when you need to make right changes. Here Di Matteo is much better motivator for our players and also knows club better. Besides RDm showed he knows how to play attack against napoli. I realy hope we wont get Pep; 1. expensive 2. knows shit about english tactics 3. needs time 4. problems with older players (I doubt Cole, Terry and Lamps will run all attack like Puyol, Xavi or Alves at that age) 5. This is no barca with tiki taka, but Chelsea in ENGLISH league. It would take years to give players that mentality of barca. 6. We have RDM who deserves one more year, knows club and is legend.

I heard so somewhere.

Im sure about Hazard, but how certain is Hulk?

Tommorow, Hazard and Hulk should be announced. Chelsea has press conference tomorrow and I dont see any other reason for it, at least one will be announced.

Until you actualy sign a player, it is a rumour. When I said we almost signed 4 players, three of them are just rumours. Hazard is now ours, but Hulk and Wdv remains rumour. But the when I said that we almost signed 4 players was not we actualy signed them, but we probably will. But the next I said was this will happen before july. And yes, there is a lot of time to secure all four deals, officialy and I consider this that board is finaly doing great. That was the point of thread, not if we already bought 4 players or not.

Yes, but recently such transfers didnt work for us. Lukaku, Kakuta,...perhaps we need to have top team first (there is less pressure for youth) and slowly replacing older players with our youth players. That could work.

There are two kinds of defensive style: 1. you keep all regular players, but put them more defensibly (RM) 2. You take you attackers away and replace them with defenders (Chelsea CL this year) And with second option everyone shits on your team and you cant perform 5 straight passes and make 5 decent attacks in whole game. I dont want that again. Not when we have Hulk and Hazard. Borussia style against Bayern was great performance or Real against Barca last time. Chelsea did nothing against Bayern, except that goal and I dont want us to play like that again. But if you take Hulk away and play with Ramires we will play like that again. I wouldnt play straight attack against Barca, but put REGULAR players more back. I would play Hazard, Hulk, Mata and Torres at same time, but more defensibly. Im sure Roman wants us to play like that. That style is more defensible, but allows us to have lot of creation. People criticise us to play to much defensibly and I want We play more attacking. Including teams like Barca. RM has very attacking team, but they still play against barca, they are just putted more defensibly. That is what we should do if we face barca. Not take away all out creative players and put 10 defenders in penalty area like last time in CL final. We need to start DOMINATE the game, not leave opponent the ball.

The best feeling is when your own youth player becomes one of best in his position. Beats all superstars you might sign before just because you can say this kid was made by us.

Attacking football. Both CBs and partly full backs, Cdm (Mikel) to play defense, Lamps central role, Wingers, Mata and striker to play fast attack. Not too much attacking, ala Barca but more like what Real is doing. Counters. Same style we played under Ancelotti!

With Hazard and Hulk we can go Ancelotti football style again and show world we are among best 3 football teams in the world again.

What is wrong with your logic man? We bought Hulk and Hazard to play attacking football including against teams like RM or Barca. Not putting them on bench and play anti-football! this season, we had to play defensibly against Barca or Bayern because we had no attack. Now with Hulk and Hazard, we will play against Barca or any team with RM style, possesion, fast moving, counters, attacking, creative football. And again, you would bench Hulk and Hazard on lets say CL final, most inportant match against Barca or RM and play with Ramires and Kalou just because they can defend better? Fuck that, you need to start thinking more about attacking football, not just this damn defensive style. I bet Mou isnt thinking, he will bench Ronaldo and play Coentrao just because Coentrao can defend better. We play defensive because we had shit attack, now with 70mio spend in attack, I expect to see Bayern/City or RM attacking style in all our matches!

I remember Juve-Bayern rivalry few years ago. There is rivalry between Chelsea and Barca, but only because we played against each other so many times in past 10 yrs. But its not considered rivalry for winning CL. Chelsea have (had) much less chances to win CL again than Barca. Unless Chelsea will now explode with Hulk and Hazard.

I said we ALMOST signed four players and there was reliable dutch rumour we signed WDV for 8mio. Never said we actualy signed him, but we are on good way. Other way, even Hulk and Hazard havent been announced officialy.

No and big NO. Reasons: 1. We have Mikel 2. We have Romeu 3. In sistem 4:2:3:1, only one DM can play (Mikel and CM Lamps) 4. We need creative CM much more, Modric or Moutinho 5. Fellaini would cost us 15mio for position where we already have enough players. Defence is not our problem, but attack (has been sorted now) and creative midfield. 6. instead of Fellaini, Witsel would be more usefull.

On 3rd june, Chelsea will announce both players officialy.

there are rumours we signed him for 8mio

City - they are growing and gaining experience Chelsea - strong, new squad who will need some time to play together United - will not be able to keep in touch with city/chelsea Arsenal - if they keep RVP Newcastle - if they keep all players Spurs - will lose Modric or Bale Lpool - new coach, maybe some more reasonable players and they could be there

Every year we listened some bs about Chelsea will spend huge on new players. It never happend. But this year, we are going in the way that is best at time for rebuilding squad. We have almost completed 4! signings; Marin, Hulk, Hazard and WDV, all before July starts. And I am sure we will go after another CM ala Modric or Moutinho. The sooner we get new players, more time they will play together and that is great. The board is finaly doing GREAT.

He played for Netherlands in 2010 regulary and they got into finals. Not bad.

What if...Marin turns to play better than Hulk and Hazard and benches one of those two?

I dont want Pep to come, but someone that can give us attacking football and KNOWS HOW TO DEFEND. We are in england, not Spain and we dont have Messi, Xavi or Iniesta. Pep without those three would won nothing. Capello or someone would be better.

I see Torres (while he was beast) very similar to Falcao. Size, style of play, both good with legs and head, long and short shots... If Hulk can make Torres to score again, 40mio will be damn good spent. I would pick Hulk over Falcao, because right now, we need very good winger and Hulk is only one that we were linked to. Torres will be back, Hazard, Hulk and Mata will take care if that. Also, Modric or Moutinho would be good to have, since we will need some creativity from the back. That will give us better counters and faster, more creative play. But if Lamps can do it for another season, we dont need creative CM yet.

Some reports say we got 160? mio for CL win. If that is true, I would love to see this players to come: in: Hazard Hulk Modric Azpi Marin KDB(maybe on another loan) --- out: Kalou Malouda Drogba Essien Bos Ferreira Lukaku(loan) Piazon(loan) Josh(loan)

Tottenham is having money trouble Modric wants CL Tottenham wont play CL Chelsea will play CL Chelsea are europe champions Chelsea want Modric Modric wants Chelsea 25mio is reasonable and fair-year older, had bit lower season We just signed Hazard (right?) and we are on the verge of Hulk signing Apparently Chelsea got around 100mio from CL win. Levy-fuck you. We offered 45mio and you refused it. Now sell Modric for 25! Well just Hazard or Hulk would be kind of dream, but this is insane. If this goes through, we will win 6/7 titles surely. CL will probably go to Real next year. Mark my words.
