  1. Can Twitter 'news' officially be banned from this thread please?
  2. De Rossi has underrated passing you know. If we sign him we don't need a playmaker to play alongside him and dictate tempo from deep. He's capable enough to send accurate long-balls forward and would get the ball to our attacking midfielders easily enough. This means that paired beside him we could have another defensive midfielder to offer even more defensive stability or possibly a run-run-run player such as Ramires to help out in every aspect. So that's some money saved. He's also a player who's actually gotten better with age and like Pirlo, despite De Rossi relying on his agility + stamina a bit more, can probably play at the top level until he's 34-35 years old. And why wouldn't you want someone with such a badass tattoo in your team?! ANDDDDD he has a beard only rivalled by Xabi Alonso, Pirlo and Nocerino!!!!!
  3. He's such a fighter on the field and always uses his body to block shots, giving his all for his team. He reminds me of a Roman Gladiator. Some say he's too 'rough' but I think they're pussies, no offence. You need at least one tough guy in your team these days IMO. De Rossi is like an actual talented version of Roy Keane. He's so passionate. Look at 0:46 in this vid. I love it.
  4. Yes, because to be a good footballer you need 'swagger' He's finished.
  5. I don't think he's that good. Well, not in that deep role and not for us. I expect better dispossession from a 'defensive' player. From what I see he'd be better in a normal central role.
  6. Arsenal celebrating their win like a CL win
  7. A bloody hat-trick vs United after coming on at half time
  8. Nathan Ake has won all his aerial duels and complete 3 tackles
  9. Ivanovic has completed the most tackles and dribbles on the pitch
  10. Coutinho apparently showing why he's the best Brazilian player in the country.
  11. WOW THAT LINK ABOVE IS SMOOTHER THAN A BABY'S BUM!
  12. So do you guys want that horrible back-pass from Fellaini at our club? Heh. I know people will say "Not his fault", but really, I think it was.
  13. I don't expect Christensen to play but I'd be delighted if he does. I think he's like Ake - Looks just a bit above average at youth level but would look like a proper player surrounded by world-class players.
  14. I'm only speaking for myself but I think I would. He's great on the wing.
  15. Let's just pretend for a moment that Lampard is in his prime with the passing ability of Pirlo. This looks rather sexy:- Cech; Azpi, Luiz, Papadopoulos, Cole; Khedira, Lampard; Hazard, Mata, Schurrle; Cavani. Hazard on his strong foot crossing into Cavani's head would be orgasmic Hazard wouldn't need to track back quite as much since Azpi and Khedira have such good work-rates while Schurrle is constantly tracking back as does Cavani when needed to, meaning Mata can actually stay up a bit more and Lampard can bomb into the box to (hopefully) score as Schurrle covers him CAVANI BRINGS SO MANY POSSIBILITIES
  16. Being a Chelsea supporter it should be easy enough to decline Tottenham Also considering his age, his prime-watching years of us must have been when Mourinho was here, so he knows how much Mou can get out of players. The chance to work with him would surely be too good to - OH NO. I just had an image in my head of Shaw in a Tottenham kit and it looks sorta right ah no
  17. Hopefully he can prove his worth at Vitesse before we use him.
  18. Just remembered we were linked with Negredo. Maybe after all these Cavani/Lewi/Rooney/Falcao rumours we'll end up with him
  19. Real Sociedad are an absolute money printing machine. Just bet on Over 2.5 (total) goals every single game and if you want a greater return add Over 0.5 of those goals to come from Sociedad in the first half. So easy
  20. Leverkusen set to sign Romarinho from Corinthians as his replacement.
  21. Well he's not returning to Inter!!!!! I'm shocked by this but apparently Mazzari, current Napoli manager, has signed a 3-year deal with Inter. I thought they would stick by Stramaccioni. Strama is currently denying he's leaving but really reputable sources are claiming they've seen the contract being signed. Benatia of Udinese is a target now as is Nainggolan. AS Roma now targeting Allegri as their next manager (they were hoping for Mazzari) with Mancini rumoured to be going to Napoli. All doors but ours seem to be closing for Mourinho.
  22. If he comes back I'll be incredibly happy for the newer fans who never saw him here. He's just magical
