Chelsea Legend 11

Of course it does!!! He's yet to play in any big games and hasn't been a world beater in the small ones.

We need to produce English talent not overpay for it.

LOL... I was saying we'd be overspending by 15m to get Shaw. He's nowhere near worth what he's going for its clear as a summer's day

We didn't lose anything, did we even bid? We actually saved... somewhere in the neighbourhood of 15m

No thanks, 30m for English 'talent' is way too much... Glad he's going to Utd for that amount.

Metro News Reporter.... Meaning agent planting bullshit links.

I'm not a fan of 3-5-2 as a permanent formation but as a possible plan C, sure... Ivanovic would definitely get in ahead of Zouma in that set up.

Shows glimpses of brilliance, needs to find of a level of consistency. Needs to take the game by the scruff of the neck... if he can turn the 4-5 games of brilliance into 10-12 he will be mentioned in the same breath as the Messi's and Ronaldo's.

What's your point? Players want to play for Chelsea too. Who's saying anything about 85M?

Of course we can. What are you talking about?

please let this be more than a coincidence... Maybe he's using the game to see how he can fit in tactically? I just want him, BAD

We'd be better off with Costa in my mind but if we end up with Mandzukic that wouldn't be a bad alternative. I don't know why everything here is so black and white? They are both fantastic players who fit with the personnel of this team. I wouldn't mind having a strike force of Costa, Mandzukic, Lukaku.

I don't see a proper captain here. My candidates are Oscar, Cahill and Matic. None of them scream captain to me though

I'm just not 100% on this. Need to see it before I make a true assessment.

Why not? he was available and relatively cheap and exactly the type of player we need. His mental qualities are next to impossible to assess until you work with him.

Mourinho is a motivator, take what he says with a grain of salt. He also called Ozil the best no.10 in the world.

That's assuming you believe that Cesc is actually a competitive personality... I know I'd LIKE to believe that but I'm not so sure he is.

How many golden chances in the box do you think the combination of Eto'o/Ba/TORRES missed last year? How many goals do you think Costa has to score to be considered a good buy?

I hate to agree with you on this but I'm actually starting to accept it now. Lukaku is better served on a team that won't be facing compact defenses every game. His touch and control in tight spaces is poor and because of that he may be better off playing elsewhere. On a personal level I'd love for him to be here, on a footballing level he just seems too raw to play for a top 5 club... He's better than Torres though.

The comparisons to Didier need to stop.... They are nothing alike on the football field.

lol... I would advise you not yo hold your breath, not even for 20

I wouldn't say classless, I'd say immature.

Whats the big deal? He's not Portuguese. We are all now witnessing the lambasting Costa is getting for playing for Spain by the same token Pepe has made himself a target for Portuguese people. Pepe is a cunt anyway I don't know how or why anyone would want to defend him.

Oh know not Solado! anyone but him! Wait a minute, who?

Jake is awesome. Graham is pretty good too. I routinely go there just to own Schmidt... He knows so little but talks so much! Its really quite amusing to me.
