I just don't see how he is that expensive. I like the way he plays, he is no doubt a good player, but the costs that are thrown around for him are utterly ridiculous.

De Rossi would really help gain fluidity for us going from defense to attack... we often didn't have enough of a spark coming from our defensive midfielders. Ramires injects pace but you can't really rely on him to pick a decisivepass upfield. I also want to see Romeu when he's healed, I think he has a fair shot at becoming a brilliant player.

I love the passion but we have a tendency to over think things sometimes. He's a Chelsea player, Mourinho convinced him of joining Chelsea, young, and obviously talented enough to break into the German national team. I'm excited for next season!

I honestly think that Azpi is a better player. No thanks.

63MM is too much...but it's early yet. Long way to go in this transfer window.

I think we were all spoiled a bit with how incredible Mata was in his first season and Hazard in his...to the point we expected something similar from Oscar in his first. I always keep in mind that Mata was coming from La Liga and Eden from Ligue 1...which are better leagues top to bottom than the Brazilian league that Oscar was used to. He's had a good season and has adjusted well. I think next year he will take off to new heights, especially under the guidance of a long term manager who is interested in player development as opposed to an interim manager who is only trying to pad his résumé for his next job opportunity.

I'd rather keep Moses as he's one of our more versatile players and is a homegrown player as well. We need depth and a player like Moses is perfectly suited to this. We should be bringing in players like him off of the bench instead of the Marin's and the Yossi's. Also in case of injury and you never know he may blossom as a player (still very young).

I wouldn't buy him for anything more than what we paid for Hazard.

Fuck no ! Do not want. Not saying we should sign them at all, just saying that if Madrid is looking for a striker then they're done with the Higuain/Benzema days.

Him to Madrid has to open up Benzema or Higuain for sale...if this happens of course.

Ashley Cole is so fucking class. Did you all catch him giving the trophy to Paulo and telling him he deserves it?

Oh get off it he put in a decent shift last night. Benitez should've subbed him off after 70 or so minutes for Ba. It was clear his tank was empty but he threw himself about well and didn't let Spuds play from the back. Also made a few good runs but wasn't picked out with the final ball once by Mata and once by Hazard. Ba for Torres, Lampard for Ramires, and Moses for Hazard were the obvious subs everyone but the manager saw needed to be made.

Luiz and Ramires were absolutely gassed. Frankie should've been on by the 75'. First half was brilliant, but we needed that third goal especially considering Spurs were going to make their push. I have to say that some of the final balls when we were in goal scoring positions were terrible.

I love me some Juan Mata. Our brilliant little Maestro. With Hazard as our cutting edge and Oscar as the fluidity between the other two I cannot wait until they step into their primes.

He was only laughing at how much of a twat Rafael was being. This will be forgotten by next season, except by United fans. Which honestly is just fine by me

A year without CL (from a new manager's perspective) wouldn't be too bad. A lighter season in terms of fixtures dedicated to Prem & FA Cup glory gives a new manager a year to figure out the team and what he was available to him before making a serious run at Champion's League glory the following year. Me and just about any fan + the club would be shattered to not qualify for CL. But for a new manager who knows all too well how quickly a head will role due to poor performance may find a bright side in not having as many major competitions to juggle.

Better GD than Spurs, game in hand on Arsenal. I still feel good about our chances. The win today would've eased my burgeoning concerns.

Even with Tottenham winning we'll be level and ahead on GD by 14. Liverpool game in hand. Must win.

Absolute must win now.

AVB, at times, is a bloody brilliant manager. Fucking hell City.

I don't think you'll ever see the current higher ups sign anyone 30+ again. Maybe keepers.

What I think is most realistic: Out: Malouda, Benayoun, Lampard, Paulo, Hilario, Turnbull, Essien, Torres In: Lewandowski, Schurrle, Khedira (w/Mourinho), Begovic Loaned: KDB (Bayer part of Schurrle deal), Piazon (Championship), Lukaku (Prem), Courtouis (Atletico) A lot can happen between now and the end of the season however that can shake things up. Also these moves are assuming Moruinho comes back.

The plain back can be dressed up with some personalization! It'll be interesting to see what the non premier league fonts will be for the numbers and nameplate.

I'm thinking long sleeve Mata or Hazard for me. I got this years shirt but skipped any name/numbering. Got the gold star version
