Maybe it would be better to instead of buying an overpriced striker, make Lukaku 1st striker and save the money for 60m Bale. He scores a winner out of nothing every 2nd game, we would pay almost as much for Cavani or Falcoa, but Bale is younger and used to the EPL.

done the double over Everton. Torres scoring first epl goal in 2013, 3rd place secured

lol at ManU-WBA it is 5-5

yo 3 rightbacks on at the same time now

no if mata's right foot was good for anything except of standing on it it would have been a goal.

omg how horribly scraggy Jelavic looks.

Ba is just so shit. Every striker seems to fail here. just play lamps up front

no it will not. we are 3rd due to one more goal scored

Every game Ba seems tohave about 10 clear chances and wastes them all unless he gets a tap-in

everton are such clowns in defense. really should finish them off

Luakaku is better than both, Ba and Torres. No matter who we sign, simply let him stay with us next season

as soon as demba ba controlled it so weird i knwe he would shoot wide

our wastefulness costs us victory again

ake is good at interceptions

lol Oscar

Torres should be subbed, really dangerous with his yellow card and his über-motivated play.

We should have signed Farfan two years ago, when we were also linked with him. He is just like a faster, more skilled, more experienced and more mature Moses. He would give us great balance in the attacking team, surely more than Schürrle or whoever. Sadly he is already on the way down and won't get any better. He would probably need some time to acclimatize to the EPl and at his age he does not have that time.

Bertrand has played 150 games on loan, lack of experience is not his problem. Why take a player out who is already a part of the squad and replace him with s.o. who is not?

No it is not, cos opposite to Paul Scholes, the numbers speak for Led Zep. No awards, no stats, no videos... just some warm words... sry when that does not convince me. I'd say legacy is a completely different story. Lampard incented an era of success at Chelsea, he captained the club to both big European titles, is topscorer of the club...scholes, well there are at least 2 guys singing his praises on a Chelsea forum... Scholes as well as Lampard has been a box-to-box midfielder. For me a box-to-box midfielder is all about his effectivity. 271 goals and more than 150 assists speak for themselves. So whatever these feats of your Stone-Age-Scholes might be. As there is obviously only folk memory left of it (ah that's what you call legacy), I struggle to retrace...leave it at that.

MOTM at the greatest of stages against one of the best teams in the world. What are we waiting for?

"your are the best player in the world" Mourinho to Lampard "Frank Lampard is currently the best and most complete player in the world" Matthias Sammer "myvote for World Player of the year award will go to him" - Luiz Felipe scolari about Frank Why did I not include these quotes into my argumentation? Cos they are no arguments themselves. I could dig out quotes about any dork in world football that make him sound like he had achieved division by zero. When many experts come together and vote, the outcome is intersubjective and hence way more valuable. It is nothing special to play the pass to assist. Lamps does it often enough, too. Scholes might have been a good player for some years in his career. But I see nothing in this "complete" compilation of him, what a hell lot of other player can't do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3AHuFCoybo

what about reading the whole post?

As Lamps did for Chelsea on soooo many more occasions AND he got on the stat sheet. So if Scholes play never was about goals and assists, why did he lost his starting spot when his assists and goals became fewer and fewer. If he never was about scoring, why did everyone in English press always hailed him for his 1 goal every 4 games average? If scholes did dictate the game so well, why did he win a lot less titles than Lampard in an comparable space of time? If Scholes was ever so great why did he never collect the awards like other great midfielders did?
