LOLZ surprise surprise Mata is slow and does look unift. Why did we sell him again?

Read numerous rumours that he would join us next year on a free. I could actually see that happen. He would give us some cover and I'd approve his signing if he was on low enough wages. But I also agree we don't actually need him now. We got MIkel and Ramires as backup both are only marginally worse than Khedira if at all.

The one is a pre-season game where the intensity is naturally lower and more changes are allowed. If I could chose, I'd definitely play Burnley monday.

Why the actual fuck do we play on a monday whilst Utd of course get their game out of the way at first. btw didn't they also play Swansea in their first game last season. Random computer my ass

Seldom heard such BS There have been clubs before there were fans. Everyone is free in their decision unless it inhibits s.o. else's freedom. His committment to the fans and the club has ended with his contract. Also we do not know if the reasons for his decision were personal ones. So personal life and football decisions go hand in hand. You argument is wrong in itself.

Also damn psyched for the EPL to restart. We have no doubt the best team since 2010. We should easily win against Burnley, when we are at our best, so I would go out full strength and set out a marker.

This is not gonna happen. He just started his life in London, bought a flat, found a girl, befriended the rest of the squad and has become a World Champion. Why should he take a step back and move to a smaller club.

I think it is a hypocritical to judge people for their life choices, even if they have nothing to do with your's. Good luck to Frank to finish second behind us in every competition. btw that eroded baby light blue does not become him at all.

I can see the decision to make Shreck captain badly backfiriing, he is a whining boy who would drain the club for any money it has- or in Utd's case has not. All he cares is is personal benefits, he does not give a shit about the club.

Remy is a quality 2nd option, so I'd say get him. I have been in Liverpool once and the mere sight of the place triggered such a strong urge to puke in me that I almost had an heart attack even though I have never had any kind of heart disease. NO way I would have accomplished a medical there. So if we spare him this trip, he might be fine.

Considering he would be expensive as fuck and not homegrown so we would have to make space for him, why not simply sign a homegrown CB with some EPL experience? We only need a 4th CB with some experience who could be solid when called upon. IMO we would be far better off with an a cheap but homegrown and proven acquisition like James Tomkins, Ryan Shawcross, Onouha, Ashley Williams and even STeven Taylor. Above-average players in the best age, who know the epl inside out, are more or less in the form of their lives and would not mind sitting on the bench as 4th choice. Recent experience has taught me, big money centrebacks are often not worth what you pay for. People in football pay extra money for players who are popular and do eye-catching things. This might be because of special skills which a CB usually does not require see Luiz or are at a high level in a particularly young age like Rio Ferd. Either way they overpay, cos you can easily get a cheap, experienced CB who never attracted to much attention and suddenly at a top club they make a big step up just as it has been the case with Dante, Sokratis or Cahill. IMO we are in a position where we can easily afford to take that gamble on a 4th choice CB.

Why couldn't Torres be the one to pick up an injury....ah yes he does not even make enough effort to get in danger of injuring himself.

How many positioning errors Zouma has to make until JOse acknowledges he is not good enough yet. Can' believe he was a regular starter for a ligue un team.

when my girl told me Drogba and Torres both to start I thought it was a joke. I hope this is the first and only game when this actually happens.

The shit is, when we have to use Costa all the time, he will be too tired for the end of the season and the big games, picking up injuries every time like he did last season. I can't stress enough the importance of us getting rid of Torres and/or getting another (homegrown) striker.

Yup I also don't get why people want our domestic rivals out of the CL. I wish them to make it as far as they can in the CL. They will not be as focused on the league + when we win the league, the argument we won the best league in the world sound much more legit when there are some EPL teams in the CL semis. Also I'd much rather face Arsenal or City in the CL final than Bayern or Real.

Wenger is such a blowhard. Bracing himself with giving his German players extra holiday. HIS German players did either not even play or were so shit that we'd better play without him and had to carry them all tournament so they should be fresher now than before.

He has to stay.He is one of only 3 HG players. So he is like a bonus. We don't need him, but we can bolster our squad with him. He has decent pace and strength which in combination can work wonders + he tracks back and defends. Also he can play as a second striker. Not too long ago he was the player with the most succesfull dribbles in the whole Prem. There is something left in him which is more than enough for Carling Cup or the first few rounds of the FA Cup and those odd away games agianst MK Zilina and Macabi Haifa in the CL group stages. those games I'd play neither of Hazard, Oscar, Schürrle, Willian but which you also lose when you only play U21 players. If you ask me if this worth the 2,6m he earns per year here according to Google, then I would say yes. He is exactly the player to hold his head high ad give is best when playing shit teams and the arse-end of the world. This keeps the first teamers fresh, us in the COC and in the end ehnances our chances of winning titles on all fronts at least for a little bit.

Frank himself has to acknowledge that this is weird. It looks weird, it feels weird and I am eager to hear what he says about that City situation and why he even signed for the fuckin Sheikh and his City group when his carreer ends. I hope those 6 month will be over fast.

But all in all we got better keepers, a superior defence, midfield and attack. That is why we will smash them again. This time they won't get away with a 0-0 at their Emirates

How come, no one has snapped him up. The best German player for only 25m ?

I can proudly confirm I made some personal attempt to get him out of Chelsea. Went to the Wolfsburg game in Constance today and tried to convince them to buy Torres. tried everything from screaming to preaching and I am pretty sure their management heard me.

Went to Wolfsburg pre season match vs St Gallen today. What a boring match .So I did not lose any time and screamed "Fuckin buy Torres" towards the men I assumed to be their management. AlsoI got autographs of Luiz Gustavo and shit. Great we did not buy him, he looks so fragile and small in person, as if his limbs would break at the next challenge. That's maybe why he is injured right now. After we left, I caught the Wolfsburg team entering their bus so I asked KDB why he left Chelsea in Dutch then in German,English and French, but he did not answer me. But when I asked Rodriguez if he would join Chelsea next year he smiled in my direction.... Anyway I would not read too much into that. Esp now that we have Filipe Luis.

Considering Bayern recently snapped BErnat up, our chances to get him are rather slim. I guess Ake is kinda ready. He had somem impressive cameos and even played some matches in the Europa League. But is Christensen ready, too? Never seen much of him. He will probably not be needed. But Jose tends to loan out the players he will probably not need. The question is. If JOse really considered the possibility of us being in need of a 4th fullback as likely, why the heck should he loan out Bertrand and force himself to rely on the far less experienced Ake then? ACtually i still don't get why Bertrand was loaned out. He is homegrown, so he takes no spot away, is on low wages and does not moan when he does not play. Ergo the Ideal squad player.
