How about £10m, Torres and a steak pie?

£12m!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!? I think i'd have a heart attack if that happened. Worth double.

Glad we won't give them Ramires. Can't think of a single player in the world right now who runs as much as he does with the same pace. I love him despite his drawbacks.

We're much more likely to use a 4-3-3 sometimes under Mourinho, especially against cup teams, which is exactly when McEachran should play. Say we're going up against Wigan or someone. A midfield 3 of De Rossi (hopefully) - McEachran - Ramires; could be domination. Ramires would easily cover for any mistakes McEachran makes while he also has the confidence of having a wall with legs behind him ready to fuck up anyone who dares bumps into him.

Based on him coming on in what, the 81st minute?

How does Courtois let that fumble out of his hands? That's what I was on about around a week ago when I said he needs to work on his handling. Had a Serbian striker been there it could have been a tap in followed by nervy times.

That Hazard - De Bruyne connection right there is what I want to see next season so bad ​

Hazard - Mata - De Bruyne. Do that next season. Belgian wingers would be our trademark and De Bruyne is proving yet again he'd be a perfectly capable winger.

I will always maintain that he's at his best on the wing and not central despite his passing ability.

He plays like a captain. Kompany does not.

Apart from in Champions League finals.

i cnt w8 4 the messia 2 spark teams with his hair

I'll make a bet that he makes less than 3 appearances at right back in the next decade.

........ :banghead:

Fellaini is a donkey

RIP Kompany

That Markovic guy we were trying to sign is decent.

So who do we think has impressed Mourinho more so far - De Bruyne or Ivanovic?

Amazing work rate at the moment. Chasing down the keeper etc.

Looks like he's playing on the right wing tonight.

The point some people are trying to make is that the award should go to who has been consistently posting the more popular or well written posts over the past month and contributing well to the community in that time; Not whose post a few months ago has relevancy to this month (or the last) which will earn a title for what is supposed to represent being the best poster of May.

I thought that. But I just find it annoying how he'll pop up now and say "NOW I'm one of you" because it suits him and claim he's spiritually been with us all this time or whatever's going through his head. I know it's flirting what he's doing. He does it at every club. I just don't like it.

I don't care if Lukaku doesn't want Cavani here or not or whether it limits his chances or not. You don't play a striker because he was in a Youtube video visiting Stamford Bridge. You play the better player in a particular position. It's not like he came through our youth system or anything. There's plenty of Chelsea-supporting players out there even arguably more talented than Lukaku. Dzagoev for example. But we shouldn't buy him then bench Mata for him because he supports us. I want to win trophies. In my mind, there's more chance of winning these trophies with Cavani leading our line than there is with Lukaku currently. He only turned 20 a month ago anyway. It's not like we're trying to sign Cavani while Lukaku is in the peak of his career. Drogba has fought off the likes of Crespo, Shevchenko, Torres, Anelka; every single striker at this club while he was present. If Lukaku is the 'next Drogba' as so many claim why can't he do the same? Mourinho is a fair guy. The better player or whoever impresses most in training will play. So it's up to the players to show their worth. If Cavani has a bad spell Lukaku will be put into the team as he's the other option. It's then up to him to stay there. Cavani won't just magically be slotted back in after a dry spell because he's Cavani. Mourinho has never worked like that. You earn your spot in a Mourinho team regardless of your transfer fee. Just ask Kaka, Pepe, Coentrao, Modric.

Am I the only one who didn't like him saying when "We" won the Champions League? On the surface of it, sure, the spine he originally nurtured had a part to play in it and he can claim to be a Chelsea fan or whatever which can feel romantic and flirtatious to fans, but I feel like it takes away from Di Matteo's shine a bit which I don't like. Mourinho didn't win it. We didn't win it with Mourinho. We won it with Di Matteo and the key players who got us that far. Drogba + Cech aside it had nothing to do with Mourinho; Mata and Ramires being examples. I'm probably looking too much into it but I'm pretty sure it's been said exactly to get this sort of "WE LOVE YOU XXXXXXXXX" reaction.

You really can't say "don't post gifs about this guy" but then advocate it for other players. Whether or not players are good/bad is subjective. Kalou did a lot of good at this club. I feel like Mikel hasn't. So I can flip that and say what you're saying but switch the names of Mikel & Kalou around.
