Stats

As much as I acknowledge that he has been simply brilliant for Bayern so far, he would no way near be the same at us. Would be a lot tougher playing for us, especially with the predicament we are now. I think even Cuadrado would look good playing for Bayern tbh.

And constantly licking his ass becomes tedious too. Some will exempt him from any form of criticism.

Just because Excalibur speaks against the manager a bit more than most that does not make him a troll. He is a very valuable member and I value his opinions. He is a clear Chelsea fan and just offers his opinions but like Lionsdenm they speak out against the manager more. Nothing wrong with that. People obviously had their doubts about Oscar before the season started and he scored 1 goal and had a good game then Gilvorak went "I have the smuggest look on my face right now". I did not see the same reaction then. It works both ways. When we win, we have people who like to call out others. He is doing nothing wrong and before I see any BS about him being warned/suspened because of what he said, someone insulted him first. It annoys me how people regard people as trolls just because they speak out against players/staff of the club more than others. He has not said anything ludicrous.

Kolarov is a LB. But, let's see till the end of the season. Everyone needs to step up their game. Hazard has not scored and has 1 assist to his name. Costa 1 goal and assist to his name. Been very average apart from WBA. Let's see the business we do until the end of the transfer window. Get the squad to buck up their ideas and then we will see. Bolasie missed a sitter tbh but I am not stating you are wrong. His play in the final third is a concern but I don't think he is the underlying problem. I also don't think Oscar would have magically solved our issues. I think the biggest concern right now is Fabregas and his form and his vulnerabilities in the CM formation. He needs to be a in a 4-3-3. But right now Willian is no worse than the majority of our team. I am sure there will be a point in the season where we will be lavishing him with praise. So much ups and downs in football.

But he scores goals.... He has been ignored by Mourinho virtually all season. This is why when people talk about Lukaku is a coward for "not fighting for his place" is all bullshit. Remy is complete proof of that. Remy said he wants to stay and fight for his place here. Surely he knew he was going to be in the same predicament or he is just happy to sit on the wages and play back up.

Spike, I see your point but past successes should not exempt players/managers from criticism. We are 8 points behind City. Of course you should understand fans anger. Especially when there are so much flaws in the team. I don't see how you are expecting people to sit down and think "OK, I will take that. We are champions and Mourinho has done so much for us." Does not work like that. That is why in the football world, managers get sacked. You can't rely on the past. Wenger can but when criticism is due, it is due. We have been poor 3/4 games this season and the worse thing is bar City they were games where we should have won.

This is not even a minor blip. This is a ongoing problem from the end of last season where our performances are going from worse to worse. Our defence is average. No pace, no natural attacking FB. Weak in the CM department. Constantly getting ran through. Mourinho plays his favourites and yeah Falcao scored but constantly gets favoured instead of a player who proved his worth last season. I think Mourinho himself his clueless. Bringing on Kenedy at LB and RLC for Matic. Just WTF? Players are below average and our manager is as much to blame. No more defending him when there is criticism due when deserved and this is just unacceptable. I actually thought the WBA would be the start of something. Clearly not. Absolutely shocking. 8 points behind City already who have not conceded a goal. People underrated City. Kompany on form is easily the best CB in the league. They identified the weaknesses and fixed it. We stayed still till the other day. But wow, defence is a huge problem. Ivanovic poor. Azpi, decent but offers little in attack. Last week wasa one of. Our CB are looking beyond average this season. Matic has been poor because of Fabregas vulnerabilities in the middle of the park. Just WOW. We have to vital games next which depending on the result of them, we may have to look at the top 4 race instead of the title race. Never been this worried with our performance since the season we finished 6th and we are the champions.

All hypothetical wishful thinking. He is going to a team who are well ahead in the league and are just going from strength to strength.

LOL. Ivanovic is a problem but so is Azpi a lot too. He does not offer any form of offensive threat like the likes of Kolarov do. I still want to know what kind of logic that was bringing on RLC for Matic. Mourinho lost it.

Fuck of you idiot. It is clear we have problems from defence to attack. Pedro signing was not going to change our problems instantly.

Maybe him bringing on RLC is his way of telling the board we need new players ASAP. Expect a huge bid for Pogba. Only positive I take from this. We need to revert to a 4-3-3. Fabregas cannot play in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Falcao again... Bring on Remy instead ffs. Hate how Mourinho has his favourites So many problems within this squad it is unbelievable. Currently 8 points behind City and we have a tough away game against Everton next. Fuck me, we need 2 goals fast!

Would be a great loan move for him if true. They play a fluid 4-2-3-1 formation and he shiuld get a lot of opportunities to play in his favoured no.10 role. He has been my favourite academy player for a few years now and it is a shame that he has picked up some injuries. Still has loads of time time to make it. Only 18 and has bags of ability. Has outgrown U21 football and he needs competitive first team football. Rayo would be an excellent loan for him.

I know and I like him a lot but Costa is our main man and is pivotal for us. I think Remy would do fine for a few set of games. Whole season not so sure. Same with City. I think if Aguero got injured for a few games they would cope with Bony who is a quality striker. Over a whole season, not too sure.

You can say the same about Costa tbh.

Even now, Lukaku earns near triple Stones wages and Barkley is around £60-70k p/w. When Stones signed that contract he was not a key player for them. He was still behind Distin IIRC so if he does sign a new contract he probably will get double and still will not earn more than Barkley and Lukaku and the majority of their first team tbh who are on more than him.

Yeah, well he is only on £30k p/w. If he does indeed stay there over the transfer window, don't be surprised to see him offered a new contract. Not because it shows a sign of intention but more because he will demand a much biggwe wage packet despite his contract expriring in 4 years time. Everton aren't in Europa League at all.

I think he does. He offers everything that Giroud offers bar the touch but he runs the channels and his style of play would suit Ozil in terms of slotting through balls etc.

Sevilla are good but expect City to win that group tbh.

I think he is better than all of Arsenal's strikers.

I am shocked to see the amount of people who are saying what City are preparing to pay is ludicrous money. In this current market, considering his age and what he contributed, that £50m to £60m is not much. Bale went for over £80m, ADM went to United for just under £60m, Suarez went for around a similar amount, Sterling went for £49m and then Pogba is being talked about leaving for around £70m plus. Now look what KDB contributed last season for Wolfsburg and his potential. It is not ludicrous amount of money. Personally, I think Wolfsburg could easily be asking for more considering KDB value for them. He has goals, assists and is pretty much a complete no.10 who can also play out wide. Yeah, Navas has started well but it is 3 games played. Over the whole season, will he do as well? Not so sure. They are paying what is required to take them to the next level and if they get KDB for around £50m or so I think that is good business in today's market. Especially when you consider the prices of other players.

Very harsh that DF got suspended. He can come across provocative but people initiated the argument with him and he just responds. The thing is he brings something to the table and gets his point across and backs up his reasons. He just has petty arguments when people do the same with him. Why he was singled out I do not know. I was reading through his posts and I don't think he did anything more wrong than the others he was arguing with.

Tbh he will make more appearances for a very good team in the Bundesliga than waiting behind 4 players here. He already started Gladbach first 2 games, albeit the second one being a shocker. He will get more starts as they are competing in the CL as well. Good move for him and he can play RB and DM as well. That being said, I think he has a lot of physical developing to do before he ready for us.

It like I was saying yesterday when the news broke forward that he handed in a transfer request. Everyone thought that was the move signed and sealed. It does not actually change much. Martinez would of known personally, when they rejected the bids that Stones would have probably wanted to leave. If he wanted to stay he would have come out and said it but he did not. Transfer request or not, they are going to play hardball. I just hope we don't lose our heads and pay £40m for him. I don't know why people thought it was going to be done and dusted. He has a contract till 2019 and the transfer request won't change much. Us paying over the odds will convince them into selling him.

He definitely is not going to reply to you. I think he makes that clear he does not really like you mate. Don't know why you bothered.
