Just seen the lineups. Would have personally gone with Lukaku up front. But happy to see Schurrle given a go up there. He seems the sort of player who could do well there. The one game of the season I will miss and have to listen to on the radio but oh well... Come on the Chelsea!

Well it's official now. So welcome, and I hope he does very well. Picking the team just got harder. But hey I would rather have too many options than not enough.

His wages could still be high. But Eto for 2 million is a bargain in terms of a fee. Eto and lukaku looks good.

Going on holiday for a week, so will probably be on a bit less. Leaving in 4 hours, so should probably sleep. But i normally sleep at 2AM, so i find it hard lol.

Yeah maybe. Oscar on the right doesn't work for us definitely, as Hazard comes in of the left Mata stays central and oscar doesn't really provide much width as he is always coming in central or dropping deep. I think KDB could have worked on the right with his crossing and pace on that wing. But we may have 6 players for 3 positions but only one of those (Moses) you would say is an actual right winger. Willian arguably isn't either as he can play all over but i think he probably is more so than what we have. Really do hope he gives oscar a go deeper in a central midfield role as he has all the attributes and even works hard in defence. If we could adapt him to occupy one of those positions then all of a sudden this transfer doesn't seem as overkill as it originally looked.

Very good points there. Willian definitely does have attributes more akin to a proper winger rather than the AM that have been adapted into wingers which we currently have. Against most teams it probably wouldn't matter. But we do lack width especially on that right hand side at times. And i remember from the shakhtar games he was very proffecient when out wide. I admitedly have seen exactly 0 of the games he has played for Anzhi but i can't see much has changed over the year.

I'm just loving having Jose back. If he wants him, then thats fine with me. Still doesn't make any sense to me, but then i have no power to change that so all i can do is back the player. Hopefully we bring in a striker. And if all else fails we can always call it a 30 million prank on spurs...

Was out. Anyone got a link of the presser for me?

Great SIG @Ankit,

I like the way you missed out the most important part of the sentance.

It's going to be highly annoying when we have the likes of kdb Schurrle and Oscar sitting on the bench and Fernando Torres is still up front. He has got to be thinking about pushing one of them deeper.

At least Jose said mata isn't going anywhere. And no one will complain about squad depth (well in the AM positions anyway). But picking a Chelsea team on fpl just got even harder lol.

Yeah, you won't know til you try them out.

Oh i am not happy with it in the sense i would much rather seen the money used elsewhere and it makes 0 sense for us to sign him and it raises a lot of questions, but i have seen worse transfers.

Thanks will check it out.

Nope. But i loved the 1960's tv series, and all the films.

Oscar is younger with more caps for brazil, and willian is more expensive... So essentially we are over paying for a player we don't need in a position we are stacked in. So i can't see it happenning as all logic deems this to be an unecessary transfer. And i would put oscar in the pivot whether we get him or not. Rambo Oscar KDB Mata Hazard With Schurrle and Moses for cover seems the right balance for me. We get added depth from Oscar being obviously able to play more advanced and the likes of Essien Lampard and Mvg who can play centrally.

Awake i don't think i have seen. Falling skies is good if your a fan of post apocalyptic humans vs robots. Not my sort of thing really but its pretty good if you like that sort of genre.

Well considering the huge success of the previous ones, its probably gonna be a major let down.

I kind of am... But only because I'm intrigued of how that would work... And when you said bale I immediately thought of the Madrid player lol. Still in football mode.

How is a batman/superman combined film gonna work. Let me start by saying batman is the greatest superhero bar none. It's not even close for me. But batman is just a guy with a lot of money who has spent a lot of time at the gym and has a variety of gadgets and fighting skills. But superman has actual powers. Anything batman could do superman could probably do as he can fly and is a man of steel. Is it gonna be batman fighting 3 blokes on the floor whilst superman flies round blowing shit up. EDIT: apologies on breaking up the shoe talk...

Exactly, hence the confusion.

You do know that he doesn't play on gameweek 3...

Starting to think theres a definite chance that Abramovic would throw away 37 mil buying Willian just to fuck off levy.

6/4 on Willian to spurs. He is definitely going somewhere. Going to chelsea makes no sense. So surely its spurs. Tempted.
