Magic Lamps

I also thought it is kinda ironic that an Arsenal fan thinks a Chelsea player is overrated. Didn't they want to buy Torres a few weeks ago?

He might be an overly expensive scumbag, but as is Rooney. But Zlatan's swag has kinda style, Rooney is just a chav. Both would thrill the fans in their respective ways, but Zlatan is the way more spectacular player. He has scored shitloads of amazing goals 99% of player are not even capable of scoring.

Zlatan is probably the most complete striker to ever play the game. He would win us titles, no doubt about that, but at what price. His salary, his ego and the effect it would have on the development of our younger players in his position might just outweigh that.

van Ginkel, Schürrle...we do not sign those players to play 4-2-3-1. We will surely be returning to 4-3-3 at some point. It may not fit Mata, but it does fit Ramires, Lamps, KDB, MvG, Mikel better, which in the end is more important. Our best player is not Mata, it is Hazard. Technically he is just as good as Mata but much faster and younger. His as well as Oscar's ceiling is much higher than Mata's. Even though Juan Mata is a brilliant little player, we can and should do better in terms of star man. Mata is a worldclass player, but he won't get any better, Hazard is the future. Hazard has ability to impose himself on any opposition with his speed, Mata will always go missing against strong defenses like Bayern, City, Real, juve.

Yes, that's what I said.

&Kalas is a damn pacewhore for a defender. He is even faster than Azpilicueta and David Luiz

I am pretty sure we have toplay 4-3-3 in the big games. Nowadays all big teams except Barca teams play 4-2-3-1. We only can beat them when we have one man more in midfield. Mata will be useless against Real, BAyern, City, Juve anyway.

I really like this vid: http://www.fanatix.com/news/video-chelsea-star-petr-cech-showcases-brilliant-skill-in-training/127177/

NIce piece of business. Offloading an average defender for 3m after having got 500k from hamburg for the loan. He was purchase for abou 120k. Investment paid off.

BVB are probably the only bundesliga side who play attractive football. With their hard-working mentality they always let look players better than they are.

No he is not and never will be. But Imagine one of the three is out in a big match. Would you play Moses in a CL final? I'd rather go with Schürrle. With him and de Bruyne we can rotate Mazacar more often without downgrading the team too much. With less fatigue, their performances will become even better. Also is a player who really can change a game coming from the bench.

Yeah, German footballers love to have those 20 000 € websites. Marko Marin also has one...

NO it's just pressed against his latissimus. Cahill, even though rathr average as a player, has an amzing physique one has to admit.

This. It takes so long, cos De Rossi is on vacation and will only sign the contract once he is back.

depends on the opponent and on the style. Your choice is good and surely will feature next season but mine simply scares the shit out of any opposition just because it is so fuckin lethal.

I think he is wrong. Everyone who knows Roman sees how much he is into football. His knowledge of and love for the sport has been great before he bought Chelsea: in the end there is nothing Putin can do about Roman's wealth anyway so there is no real need to protect it and I also do not see the benefits of owning a football club that costs u 700m when you want to "protect" your money. Even for Abramovich 700m is a huge sum he won't give away if he has not emotional attachment.

nice pic lol. But great we do not have to promote such an ugly sign like AON. SAMSUNG is a much more classy. I do not like him as a person and I would not be concerned if he didn't come but I can't deny being thrilled at the possibility he might. ----De Rossi---Lampard-- Hazard----Mata----Schürrle -----------Rooney------------ would freakin rock has every ageclass in it and quality in abundance.

I am pretty sure not. We have many players from Brazil. Our match in Singapore is supported by the government of Singapore. They will make it as easy as possible for us.

I actually wanted us to buy Hazard, 2 years before we actually did. I knew we would land him last summer, cos he was exactly what we were missing. I wore those stylish linen scarves,double-rowed button jackets and pilot sunglasses years before it became mainstream.

Who cares if it is another Kakuta. We won the Kakuta case in the end, so we ahve nothing to fear. Actually we are not involved by now. It is a problem between him and Sporting and it looks like Sporting are definitely gonna lose. So their loss is our gain. Also I do not see any resemblance with the Mikel case, cos he has not yet signed a contract with us. The case goes to FiFA at first.

Nice pic. Is this london or are the guys in Singapore already? The people around look so asian.

We should try to get DDR before contemplating Marquinhos. Esp with Romeu departing we only got Mikel in DM, so DDR is really necessary. Actually I could well imagine a return to 4-3-3: DM: Mikel, (DDR), Essien and maybe Luiz CM: Lamps, KDB, Oscar, Ramires, MvG, maybe Josh or Chalobah (even though i expect both to go out on loan) so we got at least 8 players for 2 positions in a 4-2-3-1 ?

this would be a nice signing. Taking him on a free would be even better as it would be a slap in the face of these Portugese clubs and their ridiculous 100mio buyout clauses for every chump.

Unfortunately I got an exam (for which I practically have not learned anything yet ) exactly at the time of the match. Really sad not to see Mou and the team in action, so I hope you will make this an interesting match-thread for me to read after the match. Pretty sure of an easy win, at least 6-0. Schürrle will schurely score one or two as will Lukaku.

never seen it that way but good point. Indeed most of this also applies to Roo.
