Pacquiao

no we haven't! players like JT, Ash, Torres, Miereles all came back late and are not at the same levels as the rest of the squad! they need minutes on the pitch more than other players who have been here since the start.

because its pre-season! its not about picking the strongest team its about getting everyone fit and ready for the start of the season.

still doesn't mean he has to justify Chelsea paying £50 million for him! all he has to do is make sure when he leaves Chelsea he wont be seen as a flop.

Turnbull is a creep!

so! its not Torres who declares how much he's worth! so he doesn't need to justify any inflated price tag!

if thats the case then Lukaku will start and Torres will come on for the last half an hour.

I would like to see this team start Cech Ivanovic - Luiz - Terry - A.Cole Essien - Meireles Ramires - Hazard - Marin Torres with Luiz, Ramires and Hazard playing at least 70 minutes.

So if Torres scores 20+ league goals for the next 5 seasons for us and plays massive roles in us winning many many trophies he still wont be a good signing? are you serious?

only thing with that team is how many of those players are going to score you 20+ goals a season? some of them will really need to step up in the goals department for it to be a success.

Hazard has been very impressive so far and will only get better! people saying he hasn't shown much creativity yet but what has he had to work with in front of him? he has had Lukaku who's movement isn't exactly great is it! just wait until he plays with Torres and people will see how Hazard can open up defenses!

seriously??? why does Torres need to justify his price tag??? he wasn't the one who said he was worth £50 Million! the only thing he needs to justify is whether by the end of his Chelsea career people will see him as a flop or a good singing! if Torres scores 20+ next season and plays a massive part in us wining trophies then he will be seen as a good signing! he certainly doesn't need to justify being bought for £50 mil because that had nothing to do with him.

for me its 1. Falcao 2. Benzema 3. Ibrahimovic 4. Cavani 5. Aguero

just give up.

Wow some delusional people! Mikel is shit??? that is just ridiculous! anyway i really hope Arsenal dont sign Cazorla! he is one heck of a player!

100% agree with this! its crazy that anyone can think it wasn't AVB's fault!

yeah sorry i know Hazard has already signed for us! I was supposed to post that in the Modric thread! my bad!

More like Alonso-Modric Di Maria-Ozil-Ronaldo Benzema

he is getting old he can play in the double pivot.

I think he would be a great signing but i think he wants to go to Manchester!

In terms of CM coming in this would be my preference out of the ones who we have been linked with or could be a realistic signing. 1. Modric 2. Martinez 3. Schweinsteiger 4. Sneijder 5. Cabaye 6. Fellaini 7. Tiote

At least this friendly is at a much better time than the last two i attended against Palace and Pompey, as they were at the start of pre-season so there wasn't much to shout about! but this one is after the tour of America and a week before the Community Shield final so the players will be in much better physical condition! and will hopefully put on a show!

HAHA!!! what a hater!!! what team do you support? let me guess Arsenal right! but your here because Chelsea win trophies right? I bet you must have been so angry yesterday seeing Torres make people like you look stupid! Haha! get a life!!!
