Magic Lamps

what a beauty of a header

Torres with a Torres quelle surprise.

WErder themselves have only 2 or 3 first team players here, we have our first team playing bar 3 or 4 players

Fabregas doing a Lampard far too often. playing a side pass and subsequently walk into the striker's position

matic not as sharp as usual today.

how come this is a penalty? it is neither in the box nor a hand ball

HOly shit what a save by thibaut

Letting Lamps, Cole, Bertrand and Lukaku go looks pretty fuckin stupid considering we will once again have a pretty thin squad this season. Unnecessarily.

Bremen are really crap. A good example how having too much stability in the management can fuck a club. They had the same manager in charge for ten years and after initial success declined rapidly. Also lost their best player in Aaron Hunt, who is not even an international

Ribery and Robben are declining further. Kroos their best midfielder left, Schweinsteiger will never be as good after his injury. But true they have a hell of a squad and a league that rolls over to them so they can save energy. They are defo favourites for the cl title just before real and barca.

maybe Aubameyang, who is a CF even though he has played more a RF role recently.but he would be a great acquisition if we could make way for him and his heart works

http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/2014/08/01/wolfsburg-target-torres-time-mourinho-cashed-in-to-fund-cavani/ Too good to be true, but one can dream.

It was the club's choice to let him go. He is the biggest Legend Chelsea has, our greatest ever player. Why should someone who devoted more3 than a decade to this club and put everything he had on the pitch each fuckin time, scored the more goals for us than any other player somehow dimish his status by signing for a team some of us obviously don't like? So Melbourne is ok? For some also QPR would be ok. So should he hand a list to every Chelsea fan for them to put on which Club he could join and which not? Ony because he is a legend here does not give us the right to judge him and his moves after he left. When Pirlo was cast out by Milan and joined Juve, most people, also people here hailed him for his courage and determination to carry on. Now Lamps takes a similar, but not even that grave step cos he only joines on a short-term loan contract, people are going mad at him? Talking about double standards. He is our greatest ever player. Top scorer, Champions League winning captain. Nothing can eradicate that, not even playing one or two matches for Manchester City who only are current rival of ours, but not even a historic one we grew up hating, just another recently successful club. Be disappointed. It changes nothing.

In short, Lavezii would be too old, too expensive and too much a winger, to be our 2nd striker. The ones I'd realistically consider are Jay Rodriguez, because he is Egnlish. I don't rate him too highly though but these are really bad times to be in need of a homgrown striker. The others would be Lacazette, who is cheap and clinical and Loic Remy, who is not as clinical but nice aerial ability and pace. All three would complement Costa decently enough. Though I would rather not start a CL quarterfinal with any of those. Jose must have seen something special left in Drogba otherwise we would never go into the season with that strikeforce

Amazing player, so glad we FINALLY see him play for Chelsea and not lose him too early like KDB, Rom and many more. Though I could imagine he should put on some brawn and train explosive strength. In Germany keeper always get trained on these 2. When a goalie is physically imposing and not only tall but big and strong they don't just have advantages in the air. You have seen it with Neuer at the WC, players were too afraid to take him on, just because of the respect his appearance imposes. They would not go up to the header and risk a collision with him because they were just too small. Also his explosiveness made him great coming off his line and in the 1vs1. Courtois said himself, in the prem, the refs do not protect the goalies as much as they should.

Realistically there was never gonna be a chance he would leave before his contract runs out. Honestly, if you could stay at a club where you are most likely to win several trophies and earn shitloads of money or switch to a club where you earn significantly less and won't win that many trophies, what would you do? The one say he just wants to milk the club and has no ambition anymore, others say he wants to stay and give it yet another go to repay the faith we inested in him? Depends on the point of view. Though I am afraid on the scenario of Costa picking up an injury or a ban and us having to play Torres or Drogba in a big game.

Steven Gerrard was one of the worst england captains ever. How did he actually convince the whole country that he was a great leader? He ruined the season for club and country not for the first time, has an awful winning percentage as a captain, continuously slips or plays awkward backpasses to opposition strikers. Steven Gerrard could not even lead a group of lemmings to the next cliff....he probably would be jump himself to quick for anyone to follow

88 on his regular card about deserved after having one in form after the other. Though lucky that they don't do downgrades after march.

Yup always the same with fuckin EA. Chelsea players have been underrated in FUT since its inception. Anyway. we wil have a monster team next season. btw don't mind Fabregas going missing in big games. He has been bought as a flat track bully. His ability to smash the small sides is what we have been missing. Haven't we won almost every single big game without him last season?

Even though I still don't get why we did not simply give Cole an extension instead of splashing out 20m+ for a 29 year old player. On the other hand, 29 years is no age for a left back who has just started to hit his peak. Funny how the arguably best LB in the world did not even make the WC squad above Maicon. Our gain, as he now comes here fresh and untraumatised.

I am actually not too worried about the WC flops of our players, most did not even get a proper chance and are not at fault for the dismissal of their team. It is only the fuckin WC, the frist WC for most of our players, no wonder they have not set the world on fire. In the end, club football is why we are here and why our WC players are footballers. Even if my team wins the final on Sunday I will be really happy and celebrating for a few days, but in the end a WC is only a nice way to bridge the summer pause and does not give me remotedly the thrill of seeing Chelsea play. I guess it is the same for most of our players, esp those who never reall yhad a chance to achieve much in the WC. They should be professional enough to shrug off those disappointments, you always have. Not every Chelsea player can be World Champion, no reason why they should be in crisis because of that.

I hope this transfer is off now. he was Hummels's bitch yesterday.

Admittedly we look quite stupid for selling him atm but. We lost a great player and character. But he is miles better with Thiago Silva next to him. The semifinal where he will partner Dante, it will be clear why we would have been stupid to not accept the 50m.

Does our youth system really make profit? I reckon we got more than 50 players on loan and they generate loan fees, but how does that compare to the big contracts offered to youth prospects and the fees paid for players like Piazon, Kalas etc. we would not buy youngsters that expensive if our plan wasn't to integrate them in our team some time. If so, we would not gamble that big and simply produce decent player with low funds and decent rewards. So I would disagree with comments saying it just generates profits.

I like the player at Fifa, but not exactly convinced with his world cup. Yes he is rather fast and strong, attributes i love at strikers, but I honestly don't think he is chelsea material. He belongs to the EPL but not here. I don't see much he offers over lukaku who will still grow. He is already 27, too. Keep in mind what signal this would send. We got loads of talented youngsters, still we will rather sign a 25+ year old, who is already a matured player.
