Hutcho

Come on Chelsea.... Hopefully we can do it... Mata we need a great performance from you as always... I am still in shock over that tbh. And JT is on the bench as well.

Because of all the problems reading will cause us in defence.... Joke.

WTF... I bet he will say... Well torres scored so is performing better... What an idiot. I cant believe that. He must be injured that is the only logical thing I can think off. He didn't start at the weekend as well so it makes even less sense.

Omg.... What the fuck is he doing. Is ba injured, otherwise that makes 0 sense ffs.

Honestly the gains from team unity I think would be greater than the benefits of having rafa. Even if it is someone with minimal experience but has the backing of fans and the respect of the players. Rafa may be a good tactician as some people say, but a club legend like RDM would be far more beneficial than someone who isn't liked by the fans and maybe not respected by the players.

He better play Demba ba.

He said "just kidding".

KDB definitely is... He would probably be able to get straight into our first team in the pivot alongside a DM. Obviously Essien can play for us week in week out. Josh could be useful for depth, although not week in week out as yet. We don't need multiple signings if we racall Essien and/or KDB for the pivot but we are extremely short there if we don't sign someone or recall them. The rest may not be fully ready yet but many of them will be in the future.

Also I forgot to add that his name sounds like bacardi... Which is pretty cool B-)

3 strikers... That's just greedy... If he is quality young and has potential and doesn't mind being a number 2 for a while and also cheap then sign him up. Not our biggest position to worry about right now but we need a bigger striker force than ba and Fernando. I'll be honest I have never heard of him... Can he play wide or is he just an out and out striker?

That would be good. Provided we win ours otherwise we will look at the table and see Liverpool within 2 games of us and that is a scary thought.

Oh yeah, lets make sure we can get top 4 before thinking about Top 2. But city are coming back towards us and I can't see United dropping that many points. Also I cant see Fergie retiring this year so that's one less top manager that may have gone there that hopefully won't.

Top 2 is on...

Lol that's what I would think as well. But they are the market leaders to get him...

Its not like just because of 1 transfer window of minimal expenditure we have become arsenal. I can see the argument for waiting til the summer though it is a risk and we absolutely have to get top 4 or we are screwed... I still expect us to sign someone an OUTFIELD player on deadline day... We normally do.

I'd rather he went to city than arsenal. They have quality strikers so it wouldn't be that much worse for us, whereas arsenal would go from no strikers to a beast upfront, and that would be worrying. Or he could just go to us and we would be beasty...

Swansea absolutely dominating sunderland.

They will probably beat the ivory coast just cos we want them back...

I think if he is bought it will be because courtois is going to be leaving, than any sort of competition for future no 1 now.

Basically its either cech or courtois and i can't see us getting rid of cech who is world class for coutois who is very likely going to be world class. Which is the fact of the matter, even if it is more logical to go with courtois in the long run i personally cant see cech going anywhere and why should he when he can be world class for at least another 5 years. So either courtois is no 1, at the end of next season, or he will be probably be sold because he is too good to sit on the bench... Jack butland is better than turnbull and hilario but isn't too good at this stage to be sitting on the bench every game with the exception of maybe a cup game or two. So wouldn't be a bad backup and potential successor to cech.

He probably is, but not because of ffp but because he doens't want to sit on the bench for 5 years which is fair enough. I just hope if he does go we at least get falcao coming back the other way.

i think we have seen that with lampard and ramires we get caught out, so whichever way we go we are gonna have to rely a lot on pur back 4 and the fact we can outscore them. Unless we do something like putting Cahill in there to just sit in, and then let oscar ramires mata, ba and torres try and get the goals with the help of our fullbacks, whilst ensuring we don't get too ripped apart on the counter.

With the distinct lack of choices we have it could be worth a go, i would probably change the midfield a little bit though Lampard Oscar Ramires Mata I think Ramires is best in his 4-3-3 position to which this is similar and lampards better long range passing would benefit more from deeper. Yes he isn't a holding player, and doesn't like to defend that much but then neither does ramires who can still drop back to support because he will run forever. And Mata plays in his best position and can try to supply to strikers as opposed to one.

oh please don't get injured....

You can have Torres... I'll drive him for you. But you can't have lamps and Oscar.
