Stats

Don't know if this has been posted but this is excellent

AOC is a very good player but that won't happen for many reasons. He is under a longer contract than Sterling and Walcott. He is happy as far as I know there and because of his potential, Wenger will not sell him and furthermore he would cost too much. I would like Sterling too but Walcott is very prolific and if there was a chance we could include him in a swap deal with Cech I would be up for that. Not too sure Wenger would entertain that though.

First half hattrick! I would love to have him in our team. Fabregas had injury problems at Arsenal but at us he barely has had any injury worries. If he comes here, I am sure we will have a better way of making him stay fit as the medical staff there seem to be very average. When he stays fit he could easily get around the 20 goal mark. English, only 26 and with a year left on his contract, I hope we pursue him.

He is not ready for a PL team yet. If he did he would not recieve much playing time and would be best of here. Best for him is to go out on loan to a Championship team.

If he does start, Ivanovic will most likely be CB and Christensen will be RB imo.

He came on in the 93rd minute against Shrewsbury. Still an appearance

So happy about this. For a long while he has been my favourite youth player. He plays like Hazard and I view him in the same way as in everytime I watch Boga I get a thrill and anticipation that he is going to pull of something exciting. He is under the radar in the football world but he has the talent to become a quality player. Hopefully it is at us. If it was not for his injuries I reckon he would have progressed even further. In the summer when he took part in the first team friendlies, he was arguably our best player so glad to see he has finally been rewarded after all his years excelling through the youth teams.

Walcott is prolific though when he gets a run of games. Chamberlain has much more injury problems than Walcott as well. Walcott would be more realistic because he has a year left while Arsenal will not entertain selling Chamberlain at all.

Van Aanholt top quality again

He was at my university not too long ago watching his brother play a football match. Nice lad. Had a laugh about the Fabregas incident on Monday where he tried his best to laugh but could not help it.

I am trying to work out whether this is some sort of sick joke, sarcasm or are you actually serious?

Probably because Arsenal have something to play for as they are not guaranteed top three yet.

Anyone who seems to think RLC had a bad game needs to slap themselves hard. He was impressive and it was made tougher for him when we were reduced to 10 men but still held his own. Even the commentators where very impressed with him yesterday and continuously praised him. You can see he is the Mourinho type of player. Physically imposing, can play and we will see that more with time when he gets used to first team football and is all round game is good. I don't see how people can criticize him. I can't wait to see more of him next season. Has the perfect traits to develop here and actually be one of the next academy graduates to become a regular in the first team.

" DIDIER DROGBA, I'M GONNA SAY IT NOW, IT IS WRITTEN IN THE STARS. HE'S DONE IT!!!!!!"- Gary Neville Will never forget that night. Greatest moment ever as a Chelsea fan. The drama of that night was fantastic. Can't believe how we pulled that off :blue scalf:

That is what I am confused about. Even if it is a three he can argue that he was trying to get it over to where the play was situated. Hope it is just one game because it is not violent conduct.

He does not want to go. That is the whole point he signed a new contract. He is more than happy here.

Wants the record of appearing in every single PL game.

Another assist today...

Maybe if Willian played in the no.10 role for majority of season his stats would be better. Anyway, Willian's stats may not be as good as Oscar's but it is clear for me who has put in better performances. I don't know how true it was about Iniesta but heard his assist against Cordoba a fornight ago was his first in a year or something. Does that make him a bad player? Of course not because we know the quality he has. Willian is the same. He does not get the goals and assists but he brings so much to the game. Willian has been fantastic in 2015. I remember Villa in particular when we beat them 2-1 this season. Absolutely ran their team ragged. Oscar just has not been at it this season. I think that is because like Lionsden pointed out, he is a jack of all trades, master of none. As to the 'haters' comment. Grow up, seriously. We all want the best for our club and because some criticize him that makes them (us) haters? Pathetic. The criticism is fair and nothing to do with 'hating'. We all want him to grow into the player we saw against Juve but as of now he just fails to inspire me. He lacks consistency big time.

Injury prone? How?

It will be Oscar's place Not Willian's. Willian may have more of a rotation role but he is not going to be shifted out the team as simply as that.

It amazing to think how people think we will upgrade over Willian in the summer. He is a key player for our team with what he does and has earned his place in the team for a while now. Oscar, on the other hand has not. I have no doubt that come next season, Willian will be a regular in the team.

Disagree. I think he is good enough. I think he thrives with better players around him. Last season if I said to you would Sterling be good enough for our starting 11 you most certainly would have said yes. Because he was quality. What is clear however is that he is not a world beater yet and needs better players around him to be effective. He is good enough to be in our team imo.

It won't be possible to have Costa, Remy and Benteke. Remy would leave in that instance. We will end up getting a good striker who may not be top class but can do a job. Similar to Drogba but younger. That is what we will be looking for. Benteke would not come here to play 2nd/3rd fiddle anyway unless it was for money and I don't think it is an option the club will be pursuing. Spending over £20m on a striker to be a back up does not make sense. If we had the first few years of the Roman era when we could splash cash for fun then yeah but things have changed now. We will see anyway. I just don't think ti is realistic to think we can Costa, Remy and Benteke. Even in fantasy football that is pushing it.
