I actually think Ash has been poor this season and would prefer Baines, I like Shaw but he could be a flash in the pan, Baines has proved consistent year after year at LB

Yeah but I don't want Spuds to qualify, so I'd rather them be loosing too! Sick of hearing about Bale wanting to stay, blah blah - would love to see him leave in the summer a la RVP Actually hate Spurs more than Arsenal...

Take age out of the equation - we are talking about building a squad to win the EPL next season... You got 1 pick... Baines or Shaw - age doesn't matter in this hypothetical sense...

if you're good enough you're old enough is used for kids, but the same applies for older players. Baines has at least 4-5 TOP CLASS years in him yet... Most contracts are 3-4 years So remove age - is Shaw better than Baines?

Well Real saying he won't be sold... But that means little... Hope the guy that laid out £300 in bets is still confident

Shaw or Baines? Both appeal to me....

If they mean Monaco then yeah no way he going City

Gotta say great post by @Shogun - completely agree with what Moyes has achieved on a NET SPEND of 16million - that's just unbelievable. A couple of mates are big Everton fans and I always look out for them, probably because of their nickname, I love them I think it will be a tough role to take over - I actually think it will be harder for the next manager of Everton than Moyes at Utd, you can all laugh at me now - but seriously - watch that space... I hope WE do beat you guys tomorrow - I know it will ruin your highest points finish - but I really hate Arsenal and Spurs, so want to finish 3rd.... If Arsenal are losing 2-0 and Spuds too - with 4 mins to go - we should let you win

Ok let's look at this... His transfer value with 2 seasons remaining is going to be around 50million GBP His merchandising alone could generate upwards of 10 million globally per year If we signed him on a 4 year contract, amortise the 50, fee could be covered by merchandise alone - yes hefty wages, but that's marginal and could be covered (expecting 200k week) The BEST players want to play with OTHER GREAT PLAYERS - those saying Ronaldo will marginalise HAZARD/MATA/OSCAR - seriously? If anything it's the EXACT opposite, it takes pressure of them and they will enjoy playing with him. Every great footballer always says how much they enjoy playing with other great players - so I just don't get the concern? Yes we also need some other players - but CR7 at Chelsea - what a statement of intent!!!

Yup - Dutch league hardly mentioned in UK though - so no surprise his performances have gone under the radar! Get him in, straight in with Iva at the back

Him and Rooney could be good though

I'd take Robben instead if the price gets too high!!! Can't see us getting Cavanni - think he's off to City!

I like him... Not sure if he's a flash in the pan though - don't think so.... Don't know if he's related ? Would be a good buy for under 10mil - or swap them for Moses

Lol HARSH!!! I will never love the guy like former Chelsea managers (except AVB) I kinda put FSW + AVB together - grudgingly respect them... FSW has delivered Top 4 and Europa Cup - so fair play to him, he benefits we benefit all is good - the extra money will come in handy too

Ok what a night! First - lets not slag off the players shall we - Ramires gave everything and I voted him MOTM - he was often the only out ball and if the ref would have booked there players he would have been more effective and it was his smart thinking that won the corner, Ramires is rarely credited with smart decisions - so this time I give him max credit Second - Torres had a much better second half, well played Finally - yes he's a FSW - but fair play Benitez, I will never love you like Hoddle, Ruud, Vialli, Tinkerman, Mourinho or Ancelotti - but you have my respect for delivering a Top 4 and a European Trophy, with a depleted side and 68 game season. Good luck in your next job, except against Chelsea That's it - lost my voice in Czech and have to do a company presentation tomorrow

Seriously? they are overloading the midfield - Frank doesn't have the legs, Mata and Torres are NON EXISTENT up front... It's the fucking formation it's just shit against a team like Benfica! We haven't fucking learnt anything from Ateltico! This is what they did, but they had Falcao and not some fucking muppet up front!

I'm just so sick of 4-2-3-1 it DOES NOT work against teams like this - everything is disjointed and shit 4-4-1-1 would have been better!!! Fucking Benitez and his tactical fucking genius my arse! That cunt couldn't win FM with City and Sugar Daddy investment!!! Fucking hate the way we are playing! It's embarrassing!

Hmm we are playing shit again If they didn't try and score the perfect goal we'd be seriously fucked right now! Lampard and Luiz doesn't work 4-2-3-1 doesn't fucking work either! #come_on!!!!

I'm still not so sure - he might use Lampard but he has Hazard, Mata and Oscar available, maybe KdB - Ramires, Luiz, Chalobah and Mikel available - not to mention some other signings we might add? I don't know for sure - nobody does (except Jose) - but one thing I know is that Jose is a Winner and Winners don't deal with sentiments for long if it means losing!!!

I've seen you post the same comment in a few threads... I cannot see that happening, why did he favour Essien + Carvalho at Madrid? Simple, because HE knows the players and due to the in-fighting he needed allies in the dressing room and on the pitch! Also Carvalho is a good defender! I would swap him for Cahill in an instant... And Essien has done Well at RB... So why would he be moved to CM... Think you are being a little paranoid and probably need to chill

Hmm I dunno - I see him as a more timid player now - he seems to have lost some confidence? Maybe he can't adapt to the rotation policy or its just not working under Benitez? A real shame - hopefully a new manager will kick-start his Chelsea career, still think he has a lot to offer - if we can progress him mentally...

Thank God - Moses has been shit since AFCON - are you sure we got Moses back and not his brother or something? He was amazing Pre and soooo bad after!!!

Yeah it's been We Hate Scouse - he mentioned this, just after the Dinosaurs became extinct

Ouch - sounds like a real shit line-up... Oscar and Ramires would be better in the pivot - I love Lamps but him and Ramy fuck up together too much! Fucking Cahill - he needs to up his shit and leave Luis and Ramires in midfield!!!
