Chelsea Legend 11

And furthermore wouldn't it just be cool to see this team terrorize the Prem league for years and just say fuck Europe? Who knows some of the super elite money teams might just start their own tournament and who wouldn't pay good money to watch City, Chelsea, PSG, Zenit and a couple other big spenders square off?

Ya that seems close to accurate

So because PSG do it we're in a position to do so? did they have any players on high wages before they signed these names? not exactly a model to follow wouldn't you agree?

Because his value will never be higher and he's already won the Europa league

For 200k a week? who can afford that? And please don't say Anhzi he will never go there... 200k is ridiculous fees for FFP won't happen unless its generational talent

Ya and we also bought Hazard, Oscar, Marin, Moses, DeBruyne, Cahill... We won't have CL revenue this year. I want Falcao just not for those ridiculous numbers

The team is looking better...

I think the fact that Fellaini is diverse and is good to great in many of the positions he is capable of playing in make him an ideal target for a team that need midfielders but do not have a long term solution at manager. Fellaini is great in the air and pretty much as influential as Essien was in a box to box role. If the fee isn't ridiculous we would be dumb not to acquire him in January given our injuries and need for steel in the midfield

Thank God is Mirror.... I don't think FFP makes those types of deals even remotely possible ever again(if its serious of course) Mirror is just trying to get its viewership up...

Lets be real here you can't be one dimensional if your aim is to win titles. We need an in form striker capable of utilizing the space guys like Oscar, Mata, Moses and Hazard will provide. We also need a physically competent striker who can hold up the ball and win aerial battles. I say Falcao, Bony and Lukaku is a decent strike force going forward, they all have different qualities and could be useful in multiple attacking scenarios. We don't know who our next manager will be, meanwhile we have the league to worry about and our only striker is slow and not really dependable; its a no-brainer that we grab a guy like Falcao if he's made available. He is one of the best strikers in the World right now... When we bought Shevy he was passed it and Nando was damaged goods I don't get why people always point to those two when talking about going big, what about buying Drogba? Anelka? Zola? Hasselbaink? Vialli? It doesn't always go sour you just have to do your homework and keep Roman signing cheques not making the signings. Falcao has low bust potential.

I feel like you've said this about 10 times this thread... lol I think its safe to say he's WAYYYYYY better than Torres whether or not he is worth the price tag without moving Torress is something else

there was an accident

Piazon, Marin, Cesar, Turnbull(or Blackman), Romeu, Sturridge... Wouldn't mind recalling Josh for this either

Won't be too bad so long as the kids get a run out... This could help us develop depth from within finally

Clearly you're about as intelligent as a fucking gnat. I love the internet, I hate the fact that its overrun by whiny little kids who hide behind their computer screens and talk utter nonsense. Mikel has been fine this year, more than Mikel actually

Mikel's been fine hardly the reason we haven't been performing well. you guys need to just take a step back and remember this is a new team still finding its way. Comparing it to last years team of teams of years past is both ridiculous and extremely premature.

How about you quit whining?

because Fulham Broadway was apparently closed thanks to an incident at South Ken. and everybody rushed off to get the tube at Earl’s Court.

I think you're over thinking this one mightily. We'll be fine Brana knows who he's up against and the problems it creates he's a smart player and steely. We won't need width to beat a team like the Spurs they play an open game and look to attack we can exploit them on the break with our pace

Again this isn't any different from the Arsenal game... They have to worry about us going forward more than we need to worry about them in my opinion. This is gonna be an interesting game for sure but I feel our strengths outweigh the Spurs.

Wouldn't mind another 5-1 shellacking though!

I never hated on him until he said "it doesn't matter what the players think only what the owner thinks." He lost the dressing room right there... Oh and he found out what the owner thought!

Sounds like defend 4-3-3 attack 4-2-3-1.

He's following Van Persie that's why he's getting stick. And quite frankly some of those misses were brutal! Just so happens finishing and composure are the two most important straits any good striker possesses

Hate to say I told you so but.... Pretty much everything I alluded to in the pregame came to light.
