Magic Lamps

Demba Ba was no. 19 Eto'o had 29. Now I think about it him taking the pen for himself despite not bein gour primary taker obviously was because he wanted to celebrate his kids birthday with a goal... well I guess everyone knew he would be missing it, prolly even himself. Doesn't matter. Score a hatrick vs City on Sun and everything will be forgotten.

He would give Fabregas, RLC and BArkley a proper run for their money. Now i think of it now better player for the Hamsik role in our mid 3 as long as he gets a truckload of cakes for birthday.

So he will probably be out for City. I hope he will play RLC instead and not Drinkwater...

We usually lose the CS (last win in 2009) and also usually lose vs City so no high hopes really but I got know idea how far City are in their preperations so maybe we are further ahead. Also do we have Hazard back? No the Belgians and the Frenchies will not be back by then so I expect we will play exactly like we did vs Arsenal

would be for that but only if we sell Willian and really cant get Bailey

The thing is how good will Courtois still paly when he knows he will leave next year? He will not go on strike but he will surely not be at 100% so I'd much rather replace him now. Courtois is playing a risky game only wanting to go to Real.. Maybe Real Madrid find a flashier goalie next year or Tibo sulks so badly that they drop their interest, all top clubs like Atletico, Barca, Bayern, PSG, Mancs are set and he ends up at a club even farer away from Mdrid as no one else will pay his wages. Would be hilarious.

He IS a decent fullback. He is not worth what we paid for him but he is not mroe of a liability than Alonso. Really curious how no manage rever here has rated him. Really strange move to splash out 20m (30m with bonuses that will never be paid tf) on a really young player and then never give him a chance... but then again this is a very Chelsea thing to do.

Meyer is a completely different player than drinkwater. Meyer IMO is a pure no. 10 who can be deployed deeper if needed. Götze would be the player most similar. But both are short and slow and I have always hated that player type because they just need to drop a bit of form or gain weight they are basically useless. I can see them still being in for drinkwater. Actually the only deal I can still see happening this window for us is like a Drinkwater to Westham/palace, maybe Bakayoko out on loan and Vecino in. Tibo is defo gonna run down his contract bc Madrid told him to do so. Apart from the mandatory panic buy of some tosh player on deadline day I could also see our transfer window shut already.

Yes he's been shit, but that's odd. Torres vs. Dinamo Bucarest e.g. was worse, or Theo Walcott vs us in the 2015 CS or Wayne Rooney vs Iceland.

Still the club made the right decision to ditch Cech for Tibo. No one could have known he wohld turn out such a braindead babbler.and cech has his fair share of errors too. Apart from that we have ourselves to blame for not signing Leno ourselves whonis better than both cech and willy

Still cant finish to save our lives. Morata with a torrid treble miss. Othet than that great half. Completely bullied them and defended superbly. I hope we put them.to bed in the 2nd but i am sure we will co cede instead. Does not matter tho its only preseason Abd who tf lets Morata take pens

Lampard style goal now doubt. Even tho Lamps himself would have finished it without taking a touch for sure.

The future of Cfc everyone...;) A video of errors from those two would make a film for thr whole evening. Thank god they are both not gonna play much.

Cho is a lw tho. Sarri really needs to have word with the board tho. It can not be that they deny him any more signings and then loan the shit outta his squad. We have a variety of players, sarri should be allowed to take his pick

I am pretty sure Fabregas will start alongside Kante and Jorginho at least in the beginning. Even though i would rather see Barkley or RLC and Fabregas as Jorginho upgrade, cesc dormes not need to adapt much and has hit it off with sarriball and jorginho. They really have found each other blind with their passing like when Deco joined and he and Lamps were harmonizing perfectly midfield. Just with more goal threat ofc. Tha being said I think we should stop with this Hamsik role bullshit. Sarri has his philisophy but that does bot mean we mist match his napoli side 1 on 1. The system is fine tuned to the players we have and nit vice versa.

If he is indeed not here bc of passport issues it is not AWOL as he obviously has an excuse. Anyway quite a coincidence...

He will have one or two nannys for sure. I doubt this will be too big of an impact.

Deserved. I called for this and one time ppl are listening. him and azpi should be top earners

Oh come on we all know this is not gonna happen and we are gonna end up with another Djilobodji also why should we even consider doing business with Juve again. They are clearly not taking Marina seriously. Pogba, Sandro, Rugani we all know how it ends one thing I noticed abou Caldara tho is that he is quit a goalscorer for a cb. Roughly a goal every 5 matches in Serien A. Maybr we want to have Alonso and this guy as our goal threats bc Hazard, Morata, Willian et al just dont cut it up front

Good shout. I think i wanted us to buybhim afteri saw him outpacing Neymar a dozen times in the olYmpic final. Klosterman is really a solid fb but has regressed since then I hear

I thought alonso but much bettervthan emerson today even though the opposition was better. Got a feeling both will strugle come season

So much for that

I agree. Cesc is not the wc players we all hiped he would be, not a leader or a runner but he is a great option from zhe bench and for the odd start. Can’t blame his attitude too. Has won it all and still raring to go and help the team

He is American and already a huge star over there. His marketing potential is immense. 70m will look like a bargain and he is not worse than William who might bring in the same.

There already is a precedent. Mata to Utd when after he wad our payer of the season. Played out good enough and Willian is older than Mata was back then. Woth the risk imo provided we upgrade
