Hutcho

Great news, another quality youngster, also has premier league experience and can speak english which will make his development much quicker, and it shouldn't take long to adapt to us and he should be ready to go in no time... Can't wait to see him running at some defenders.

It was clearly on side... Video technology cannot come quick enough...

Just logged on to see what happenned in the last game against Sh0nexs' team, and he went 1-0 up and in the 88th minute i had my first chance on goal, it flashed up goooaaal and then it came up, goal disallowed, dountful offside.. Denied of my first ever goal...

Happy birthday Layla... Don't get too

Welcome...

Torres, number 1 sturridge 2 and moses will be the 3rd option even though his primary position is on the wing. Should mean that sturridge will be able to be risked a bit more as we have a bit more cover, though it could spell the end of his hopes of starting RW, as it would appear moses and ramires are all ahead of him in the pecking order, so he may have to outplay torres and become our number 1 striker to get serious minutes, though it is a very long season and he should get quite a few games especially in the league cup, fa cup and all the other various things we are in.

Good to know its finally done, get him in training and then lets see what he can do... Probably the player i know least about or have seen the least of that we have signed, so will be interesting to see what he is like... Might be one for a supercup appearance or maybe 10 mins of the bench vs newcastle.

I completely agree, i assume you are referring to all his doubters in the last sentance, but yeah they seem to be looking for excuses and see that there is a 34 year old in our midfield. He isn't as good as he once was... But he once was WORLD CLASS and now he is simply CLASS.

Yeah noticed that about swansea so i put danny graham in. Gutherie for reading will also miss that gameweek, so he won't score any points... Fabio should start for QPR and mcartney definately starts for west ham as he is on my bench as well. You could then play 5 at the back, 3 in midfield (can't play Gutherie or Hazard) and 2 up front (can't play torres) All use your wildcard and have a complete changeabout...

If we sign hulk now, i won't be dissapointed but definately confused, as it seems illogical to buy both, so i assume the talks with porto have broken down and now we have gone for moses as the alternate option... Only way we get both is if the board feels moses is really one for the future, and end up doing something like loaning him back to wigan, which seems to me unlikely... Azpi will probably be our last signing of the window is my guess, though with our club you can never be certain.

Another positive is that he has a lot of re-sale value if we ever don't need him due to him being young... hopefully it won't come to that and he will be very successful here, but at 21 its not like its 9 mil just completely gone for him. Looking forward to seeing him alongside Hazard and mata... As many others have said, more pace and crucially width on the right hand side as well, which we haven't been getting from rambo atm... Rambo still has a big role to play in this squad but i just don't see it being at RW. Also should give di'matteo a lot of attacking options in games... Loads more than he did last season.. We have moses marin ramires and oscar, all of whom can impact the game in different ways and should make us less one dimensional.

I officially apologise to everyone for that, i promise it won't happen again...

i Cech'ed and it does.....

It should come with a hazard warning... :tophat:

I am in a similar boat like most. I have 3 chelsea players and a reading one. Basically i planned ahead and have offloaded mikel who was sitting on the bench anyway this week, also had to replace aguero as he was injured. One free next week will remove POG and then i will play a 4-4-2 instead of a 3-4-3 as some of my cheap subs start for thier teams (so i have used 4 points to avoid the situation and still keep them all with mikel being the exception, though he was on my bench anyway)... I wouldn't sacrifice 8 points though as you will get back 2 per player then need one of them to score which could happen but is a big risk... you could use your wildcard though you don't wan't to get rid of them as you obviously want them back the week after. It depends... Who do you have on your bench? (i have all my money in my starting 11 so my bench consists of 2 4 mil defenders and it did have mikel). If you have enough starters on the bench then i wouldn't do anything except bench them for the week and hope your bench sitters can get you a few points, if they don't start then you can start the week with 9 players, lose 8 points (pointless if you are transfering out chelsea players as you have to put them back in the next week), or just do one transfer, or wildcard it and change your bench sitters so that they are all cheap starters and then you can have a full fielded team without having to get rid of your Chelsea players.

I highly doubt it would mean that... We now have 2 strikers and a backup 3rd striker... So unless cavani all of a sudden turns up i doubt we will be selling him.

Its seen the future.

Will probably be the end of the Hulk deal, but glad to see him here. Did well against us and will be extremely useful. Hopefully spells the end of putting ramires on the right...

never get tired of watching that video...

considering the amount of decisions that go against us we are owed a few... but we can all do the if, but, then x y z would have happenned... If it was ruled offside we would have gone at it even harder to get the winning goal and would have had more chances.... If rambo had passed the ball early on torres should have scored and we would have been further ahead. If cech didn't spill it... etc We were the best team on the night and deserved the win...

Lol just saw this, http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4500508/David-Luiz-transfer-Chelsea-reject-Manchester-City-bid.html

Why? We have played two games this season, and there is a 3 week break including one match vs athletico madrid...

If we are talking about what i would like to see then that would be: Cech Ivan Cahill Terry Cole Mikel Lamps Oscar Mata Hazard Torres Oscar is better central but i don't think he will be given the nod there any time soon... No way is mata going to be rested this game as if he was gonna be rested yet then it would have been against reading, also as i said previously doubt torres and danny will start at the same time because of the lack of striking options.

I agree, he should definately play instead of ramires at RW as he offers much more in an attacking sense... We should also get him to watch our 4th goal yesterday over and over again where we passed it to the better option, even when he could have shot and probably scored... Realistically though he won't play there as it will be pretty silly to play our only two striking options at the same time as it gives us no options to change anything up top, not until we get a 3rd striker.

No hazard is gonna end the season: 0 goals 50 assists... First ballon d'or winner not to score...
