And everyones bench is probably shit because there isn't much reason to have money sitting on the bench... I just biy players who are the cheapest but should play, just in case, but even then, if you have to transfer someone, just do it...

Vorm is better than Krul, but Newcastles defence is better than Swansea's. So Krul will probably keep more clean sheets, but Vorm will make more saves and get more recognition in some games when swansea do keep a clean sheet.

Gonna be a great game. Really want to see hazard and marin together which is why Hazard will probably stay at CAM, which is fine by me though i don't mind seeing him on the wing. Hazard and Marin should start for sure, as its about giving our first team players time to gel together, so there is no point playing a weaker team, which is why this game will probably have less subs made and more of a real match in terms of the players used.

KDB, being loaned isn't too bad. I would have liked to see him here through the season as he has real potential, but if he gets lots of game time, then he will still be our player next season and will be better for him. Tbh him being loaned will be better than him staying here and be a squad player, as he has a lot of competition atm.

yeah but that is 96 points for a 4.5 mil player.... Hazard is more than twice as much so to get the same value he would have to score more than 200 points. Making Mikel a bargain. The only downside is it takes up on of the 3 alotted chelsea spots.

My team is looking better. 3-4-3, for me... I have the shittest bench possible as i hate wasting money on players who won't play that week especially as you get a free transfer every week doesn't seem logical. Hazard team captain...

Why not, his brother has looked the best player on the pitch when he has been on it, even if its been in 2 pre season games. If he can become as good as that then why not. Get him early for cheaper.. Could be great down the line. Definately should be loaned out though. Won't get a chance this season.

I think he should go, and not just for us, but for him as well. He will never be on our first team, and at best will be a bench player, which looks unlikely... We have so many quality midfielders so its time to get rid of the not-qualit ones.

I originally thought we should loan him as he needs the experience though i think, after seeing him in pre season so far, loaning would probably just be delaying the inevitable, as i doubt he will break through to the first team.

yeah torres and hazards link up play will be crucial to our season and we should get a first look at that tommorrow/thursday hopefully

Can't wait to see more of Hazard and Marin, preferably alongside each other.

This is gonna be a long ongoing. Whelan seems to think he is worth a lot more than 10 mil. He probably wants 20 or so.

No, just wanted to have another look at him, i would obviously play ivan in a proper match, but we have next to no cover at RB, so would like to see whether he is good enough to be number 2.

Its why some defenders are so expensive as they will definately start i.e. Kompany, Terry, Evra, Vermaelen etc. But even our defence. If i remeber correctly, Ivan, Cole Cahill, and David Luiz are all the same price at 6.5 mil, which is really expensive. Cole will start but only 2 of the other 3 will, making it not as easy to pick. Might go for a 3-4-3....

He knows... But seriously, i can't believe i forgot that... must have been a facepalm moment lol... Bloody olympics football, even fucking up my dream team, as well as having the shittest squad ever for team GB.

Mata, hazard, Mikel my 3 atm , though its subject to change. Did have Torres in there, but pussied out, and tbh if torres does well i won't care he is not in my dream team.

I want to see Cech Hutch Cahill Terry Cole Essien Lampard KDB Hazard Marin Piazon Unless torres is ready.

Why are people critiscing lampard for wanting high wages, he is the one who has earn't them the most over the years. If he puts in a good season he will become our all time top goalscorer from midfield. The amount we pay some of the players who give half as much effort as lampard, then give him 2 more years then a yearly contract after that based on performance.

chelsea website says torres will be back for weekend game though he will join up with the squad on monday, he may be able to play some part. JT only had one day of training yet played. " Fernando Torres's break following Euro 2012 and Daniel Sturridge's Olympic involvement. Torres will rejoin the squad on Monday in Philadelphia and may play in Miami at the weekend."

Already have... Everyone will have him, but he is a certainty..

If its hulks odds are 1/4, then it is highly likely he will come here, i would rather a squad player as a third striker if we can't get hulk as opposed to cavani, though to avoid another thread becoming a torres or cavani debate ill end it there...

That is what i have always said as well. Hulk fills a primary role aswell as a secondry striker. 2 birds, one stone.

lukaku will probably go on loan and we do need another striker, but it doesn't have to be some 40 mil player when it could be a useful 8 mil squad player.

Hulk could count as third choice striker, as he can play there, which would be useful as a backup.

Thats because Kakuta was playing there, but i agree in that i want to see hulk here.
