Magic Lamps

Hazard not even on the bench. Oscar, Lamps, Mata really need to perform today.

Unless you are Oliver Kahn of course, whose roar could uproot nearby trees when he was upset by an action on the field... Luiz is the obvious choice, cos he has the right age, attributes and quality to be regular starter (other than Mikel or Cahill)

Gonalons and Capoue are indeed pretty similar. For me Capoue is a tad better. he is a bit bigger, really dangerous from headers and the fact that he does not play for the NT amkes him even more underrated and cheaper as a consequence. Anyway, one out of these two + maybe Cabaye would solve our midfield problems with less than 30m spent. The question is rather, when will we be able to let our youth take responsibility. We don't know whether Chalobah and McEachran are ready but we will never know before we give them a chance.

these strengths and weaknesses from Who scored are a joke. They are never complete and usually wrong. How is long shots not one of Mikel's weaknesses?

BVB would be dumb to let Lewa go to Bayern this year, when there are other non-domestic clubs in for him. Watzke might be naive but not so naive to strengthen a domestic rival when he easily can evade it. About Götze they could not do too much, cos BAyern were the first to activate his buy-out clause but Lewa has one year reamining and they want to cash in and can pick the team for him to go to.

yup, also noticed that. but in 600 games for Chelsea things can repeat themselves. But it was also really clever from Lamps in both situations, as Essien and Luiz where far better positioned for a shot and the lay off was inch-perfect for both players to hit.

he is too slow. Luciano Narsingh would be great. Incredibly fast and accurate. Also hie is originally from India, which means awesome merchandise potential in the soon-to-be most populated country of the world...

lol. this one is great. His showing was not only good but amazing. to score 4 goals in one game against one of the best sides in the world is not done very often. Also reasons for buyng Lewa is not one "good" game but 37 goals for club and country. I'd actually have rather Higuain than Dzeko. More technical, faster and more skilful, fits us a bit better. Dzeko is very similar to Ba and Lukaku

Thx. Can't comment on it in that thread, so I do it here: had to chuckle when I read: 'ManU fan since 2008 but not so much into football back then'

Classy game between BVB and FCB now. We will see. Bayern are the epitome of corruption which is only possible in a so sovereign federal state as Bavaria. I am quite sure they got so many skeletons in the closet that one could erase the whole club if one would only dig deep enough.

walcot would be perfect for our right side. Wish we had gone for him more seriously

the playoffs will decide

http://metro.co.uk/2013/05/04/chelsea-ready-to-open-transfer-talks-with-schalke-for-kyriakos-papadopoulos-3712936/ Rumoured to be in for him. I can only say PLEASE, NO. this guy is class, but he is more injury prone than Torres has been in his Liverpool time. he had 5 major injuries, all in the area of his right knee in the last 2 years.

and suddenly spurs defend as cool as it gets. Bale drives u to madness, but he is so fuckin class, 3rd fuckin best player in the world. Said so months ago and he proved me right.

this bale guy is a fuckin cheat

shit just got real

ricky lambert and adam lallana have some wicked deliveries in them

southampton are givin spurs quite a hard time

They had 11 points conceding 89 goals. Relegation was mathematically fix in early april. all epl records

what an error by the watford goalie

Chalobah is just such a class act. We really have to keep hold of him. He will be ready for us next year but his contract runs out 2014, too.

If Iva and Luiz are available, neither JT nor Gary should feature. Henrique would not be Henrique if he would not quarry out one like this every once in a while^^

But he usually loses the ball on the flanks or his passes are to unprecise and he is not really much faster than Ba.

But with good scouting and consideration which type of defender and which individual characteristics would fit his defensive partners, these 10:1 can easily become a 1:4 or 1:3. I bet one of Sean Morrison, stefan Savic and Joel Matip will turn out to become better than Subotic, without having seen much out of any of these.

Torres is especially suited for shit teams with shit defenders. There is not really ONE thing torres can do better than Ba. Every striker can run behind defenses and if Torres had done that with decent enough timing, he would not have struggled for goals against any decent side with Lampard, hazard, Mata and Oscar behind him.
