Hutcho

Its a waste of time imo, he won't have a role to play at all next season, as we have so many midfielders and more possibly coming in. I cant see him staying tbh unless he wants to sit in the stands all season. And instead of experimenting i ould like to see the 16 players that will have big roles for us this season given the chance to gel together and and become better as a team than playing players who won't feature as an experiment.

Should be a great game. A few of our youngsters have gone back so we will probably see a more senior team for a longer peiod of time. Hopefully hazard gets at least 60 mins and Marin gets more than the 45 he got vs seattle. And Please, please, please DO NOT PLAY BENAYOUN.

Its possible but it will never be exactly the same, and they like it to be different because otherwise you wouldn't buy the new shirt if it was exactly the same as the previous ones. Home kit is definately quality.

Chelsea is a team.. I get behind all players when they have our shirt on. Its not helping torres if his own fans are on his back... I am sure he knows better than anyone he was pretty awful last season. He wasn't bad on purpose... He didn't demand a 50 mil pricetag... Give him a break, i think he will come good this season. He also was pretty awful in the season which was one of our best in terms of what we won. So in my eyes he can start again. If he doesn't do good enough this season then the people in charge will seek a replacement etc, but i think this will be his time... Fernando Torres Chelsea's Number 9, Na na na na na na na na, Torres Torres.

Great.. I was thinking we could also make it more interesting by having it with a 5 pound buy in or something... Although thinking about it we would need someone who is trustworthy and willing to accept the money, also being from different countries exchange rates etc... Whatever just an idea....

Yeah, there should only be one otherwise the whole idea is a bit stupid... The best way of doing it will probably be for a Mod to create one and then that can be it. which we can all join. No point having two different ones. Ignore that tbh, its only a league and as long as we have one it doesn't really matter who created it. I am fine with this one being the "official" one if thats what people want as it doesn't bother me at all. If we can just decide that or whatever everyone wants soon then it will have enough time for everyone to join who wants to. If a Mod wants to create one and be official then fine. Just as ong as we have one...

Really looking forward to this one... Hazard viewing no.2! And Marin.

Is it A)Just me, B)the photo C) Actually true, but doesn't that pitch not look very long to you. looks more square than rectangular. Probably just me, but anyway.

TBH, i would rather see we develop oscar to the CM role and let marin be in the 3 with mata and Hazard, he has pace, is young and would be great for torres. He is also a winger, which Oscar is not. Oscar could play the center of the 3 but i would much rather see Hazard there as he was amazing vs seattle.

Oh ok thats what i thought you meant, we have the same view then, the only good thing about team GB is that he is now our star player and should be able to show what he can do against the very worse teams in the olympics. TBH i was mainly watching the game yesterday for oscar...

He was not as impressive as Hazard and Marin atm doesn't mean he won't be in a couple of seasons, and he should still get some games if the season is a long as it could be.

Whats stopping Cavani from having a similar record. Torres is settled, we now have an excellent supply line including one of the best youngsters i have seen in a while, so i still think we should give fernando another season, with backup from Lukaku and Sturridge, don't think we should spend that much money on another striker. Rather have a cheap RB and maybe a squad striker just in case Romelu Lukaku goes on loan, so we have 3/4 strikers for the long season.

He had to drop deep, because he was playing with a bunch of players who are not exactly good. Our 3 over 23 players, are awful tbh, we used up one spot who didn't get in the england squad (wrong in my opinion but still), bellamy is useless and Giggs can fuck off.

I did make one with that intention that 2 days ago and 2 people joined in the general chat section... This is the one i created, ideally we only have one, but what the hell... http://forum.talkche...team-2012-2013/

Quick question, i thought we were playing brazil tonight in a warm up game... Yet the bbc are saying we are playing sweden. Have the bbc fucked up or am i missing something? Don't worry about it i checked bbc online and it says vs brazil so its just the tv guide on virgin media that thinks we are playing sweden... Other than to see sturridge and bertrand the main reason i want to watch it is to see Oscar and Hulk etc.

My only motivation to want to buy him is to piss off arsenal, but i would rather him just leave arsenal, and don't particularly mind where he goes.

Will ibra have had enough time to start on sunday? TBH, its a team that if its in the champions league then we will be a wary of them, but as its preseason, i am just looking forward to seeing Hazard and co again. We won't play a full strength team until the community shield most probably...

PSG won thier first game 9-0 against some austrian team...

Also millions and millions is shirt/merchandise sales, sponsership and advertising for the team, as well as attracting other talented footballers to come. So Yes it probably was worth it.

That is just beautiful to read..,

I was joking... about him starting...

If he is cheap then what the hell, tbh if hazard can perform at a constant high level then if he wannts his brother here, why not... And two hazards in a team would scare everyone. We could have a hazard on the left and a hazard on the right.

Agreed, everything is far too often made to seem like there are no human factors. For example people always say, buy him, send him on loan somewhere without taking into account the player might not want to go there and there are lots of occassions were people don't leave because they like it where they are etc.

People are leaving ramires out for 1 simple reason... We have players who look like they are better wingers... i.e. Marin, and there are people that are better in those 2 DM roles, i.e. Lampard etc. Ramores is the best box to box player we have though in a 4-2-3-1 we can't really have a box to box CM unless the DM he plays next to is unbelievably good... I.e. Makelele esk. And whilst Mikel is improving he is not good enough to hold on his own while we have 5 attacking players ahead of him, as we would be done on the break a lot.

I mean't more in talent and how Portugal heavily rely on him... and yeah, he seems to not have a really huge ego which is key.
