stop being so emotional gucci mane

why don't we ever try nifty alternative tactics like 'get the ball into the box' ???

i always wanted to experience a relegation scrap. i'm pumped

ivanovic again i swear he was involved in that

omg so random

who needs Baba when you have Kenedy we'd make Neymar a goalkeeper

cesc thinks he can play passes without looking but his 3rd-eye has a bit much crust in it today

idiot

Wolfsburg are a bit odd, seemingly building a super-team only to sell their 2 best forwards in De Bruyne & Perisic. They're average on paper again now.

we never should've let Kalou go

he's obviously not coming so i'll spend all my time in this thread telling people he's not coming

he reminds me in good ways of Mata already

imagining De Bruyne on the field with steams of tears running down his face for the full 90 amuses me

Imagine losing Pirlo, Vidal & Pogba in the same season. It'd be like stripping us of Hazard, Willian & Fabregas

superboom

this deal would make no-fap difficult

exciting news like this helps things slide out

i always check talkchelsea during my poops and this is the greatest talkchelsea poop i've had since at least last year

Really the most exciting thing about this for me is the prospect of Willian really owning the #10 spot.

Ronaldo in his prime is better than Zoff in his prime

I wanted him here before but i trust supporter's opinion more than my own since i'm a cock, so who knows now? thanks for sowing the seeds of doubt

He'd flourish at a shit team that deploys 5 at the back. I like him most as a wingback.

I'd wait for 6 or 7 really unspectacular performances in a row, or clustered closely together at least, before saying its the norm for that player's ability to be his trend. Less than that many games and its just a dip in form to me, like Cesc has when he plays shite for 2 or 3 games in a row. Mikel, Ramires, and others, are consistently downright 'bad' for plenty games in a row. They've proven they cannot be consistent top players, full stop.

and rightfully so, because it's a trend Mikel follows every single game, and not a trend of Cesc's.

It was laughed off when people suggested he's been in the top 5 best 'keepers in the league since forever now . "we have the best back-up" is as far as most comments would go, with hardly any singing his praises or putting faith in the idea of him as a potential #1 for us. (Nevermind the reminders that he's a "good player but not a top one", for some reason.)He's been on Cech's level for a couple years, and has surpassed Cech's current level. Just a few weeks ago, such a comment was thrown onto the "undiagnosed delusion" pile where the posts the majority disagree with get thrown. Now, I hope it's more agreed. Begovic is the shit. He is UP there.
