Chelsea Legend 11

west ham?

Always loved this fella and after watching the chelsea TV broadcast he seems like the kind of guy that has the right mentality to continue at the club. Perfect poacher coming off the bench!

Why is that a problem? Its not like Costa did anything to hurt his chances of keeping his place. If Costa is fit he deserves to keep his place. Loic has been doing a great job off the bench and should def be ahead Didier.

Like most here I don't care how we got it 3pts is all that matters! At this point in the season with all the games and lack of rotation we aren't going to see the kind of quality we saw earlier into the season. So long as mentally we prove that we have enough resolve to win when we're clearly not at our best I'm very happy. Nothing is ever easy at Chelsea so I've become accustomed to the fact that we have to grind out victories even against shitty teams. Thought Hazard was brilliant. Courtois as well(despite the terrible error for the goal) The story of the game for me though is Luis, who I thought was good going forward and awful defensively, and Remy, who despite not playing a lot always scores! None bigger than today... He needs more games for sure.

Fatigue.

Cahill and Ivanovic have been so awful. If we don't win here I gonna start to worry about our title ambitions. We haven't even had a kick since going up 2-0...

English club in a culturally diverse city, it deserves the very best from all over the globe.

Lol... He's played 175mins!!! What are you talking about?

I disagree. Cahill plays because he's been good for us, he's hit a bad patch as have many of our players and deserves a chance to find his form again.

I really don't care about this at all. England aren't producing the best players in the world and a player starting for a big club has to earn that distinction, its not gonna be given to them based on birth rights. Besides have you been to London? Its a city that represents every ethnicity on the earth. The club is doing a good job of reflecting the diversity the city possesses. I want Loftus-Cheek to get a chance and I feel he will but if he proves to be just an average englishmen there is no reason to keep throwing him in there because he's english.

Its working it appears.

you can argue that the reason Cesc played the 10 for Barca is because he couldn't press in the midfield. At any rate, I don't for a second believe that Fabregas is an effective at pressing. I would say he's been better than he has been lately but its clear right now he is extremely tired.

Development might be stunted.

I'm astounded so many here are calling him overrated and not worth it. We add Pogba to go along side Matic and Cesc with the option of Ramires to come in and we have the most formidable midfield in the world, no one comes close. I'm sure Jose and our staff know this which is why we are interested. The game for me is won and lost in the midfield, if you control that area of the pitch you will win the majority of your games. Pogba, when playing his best, is certainly the best box to box midfielder in Europe. I'm struggling to find anyone not named Yaya who rivals him. My only reservation about Pogba is RLC he needs opportunities to prove his worth

The point is we won't buy another winger right now with willian, cuadrado, hazard, Ramires, Oscar. Too much investment there.

If we get Pogba I think it's safe to assume we'll be playing 4-3-3 more than 4-2-3-1. No need to buy another winger.

I really want to believe it. I really do!!!

All I'm saying is comparing him to Balotelli because of his goal celebrations is a bit of a stretch... He's having fun, of course he's immature but he just turned 22... I think you're looking into things too much.

Not sure what this is... You think he has a Balotelli make up because he celebrates his goals? kinda weird, he's a kid expressing himself. I think comparing him to Balotelli is a bit of a stretch.

If there are negotiations going on you don't plan two meetings in one day its not like there aren't 364 other days where less is going on. Most likely bullshit.

I have no doubt we're in for him but this fella is full of shit Taken today at the Bridge.

care to elaborate? That is nothing close to what Pogba is like.

Ramires is a Jose favourite he's going nowhere. In my opinion you'd be hard pressed to find a better player in the middle of the pitch for a Jose team than Pogba. SIze, technique, speed, power. Pretty much the prototype for Jose.

Its Pogba for me, he's already playing at a level worthy of a 40m transfer, if he reaches his potential it becomes a bargain... every team around the globe know how special he is and can be.

We're right at the threshold for registering players and you want to bring in two more? I can't see it. We would have to sell again and who is it this time? Oscar who just signed a brand new deal?
