Magic Lamps

http://www.footylatest.com/chelsea-spanish-target-will-remain-with-his-club-for-the-coming-season/31260 he himself sets his sights on staying with OM. So a) test the waters with increased bid and convince him to come spot some alternatives c) stick with Paulo and Sam The question is in case of a) Can we actually provide him a decent perspective in terms of 1st team action. As for Think there is no alternatve to Debuchy then c) In case Iva gets injured, is Sam good enough to fill the void? I have seen every minute of first-team action the boy has played, but i answer that.

Generally to say s.o. is overweight by his BMI is utter BS, as individual anatomy can differ from standards. U can be overweight with muscles, heavy bones or fat. Hulk is simply muscular and naturally sturdy. Hulk has at most 10% body fat. he might be not ripped but his fat% is that of an athlete

No way. Romeu is mediocre. not only every manager will play him only reluctantly as he wants back to Barca asap. There is a reason, why he's not played under RDM: He simply is not good enough. Mikel, Meireles and even Lamps are better DMs.

??? Meireles was poor for portugal, as poor as for us.

Well in times of "revolution" and a "new era", u have to make changes. When Mou came in, we signed 10 players in Summer 2004. Fifa 04 had actually such a retarded transfer system, i never could bought that many players...

dude, u unfo misunderstood me. We need one of RW, CM or ST. If i were manager, I would buy 5 or 6 players, an expereinced, solid back-up keeper, a regista and/or a proper defensive midfielder, a Right winger, a Striker and a right back.

This game was proof, we need s.o. to take us to the next level, a world class striker, midfielder or best right winger. Everything we produced on the right flank were pathetic crosses from iva or ramires, whereas our left flank was inexistent as a.cole and hazard had more fun crowding the middle.

We are in deep trouble now

OMG Meireles.

equaliser, poor defense and goalkeeping

there it is, the intelligent move that was required. Lamps with clever finish, just looking up seeing the goalkeeper diving and just slotting it down the middle

incredible defensive display by brighton, nonetheless we must be able to break that team down

We seem to have lost more energy last season and at the euros than usually.

Brighton by far the better side, shocking. we are not getting together 3 passes

Most of our players look completely off pace. Ok, its preseason, but we should have the necessary fitness level by now

this is team who should actually beat most teams in the world, so i expect a bit more of precision

Read a report in a German newspaper confirming Bremen plan him to be their new no. 10. Great, IMO, for him, just don't know i in what position he will fit in at CFC. Mata, Hazard, Oscar and maybe Piazon (who I actually see as a striker) will all be ahead of him. Perhaps we should convince himt o become rather a CM/DM/regista, he surely got the potential

Don't think anyone will offer Ashley Cole higher wages. IMO should step back at 31 he will not become any better probably. Bertrand will increasingly replace him and maybe ven van aanholt who is a maybe a shade faster and more attacking than Ryan will become back-up. At LB we are very much covered, so there is no real argumetn for being too keen on Ash,.

Think Sahin has been robbed the edge that u need to get the chance in that Real Madrid Team by the injury he had in the early stages of last season. He generally is injury prone. His other porblem is he is maybe physically and defensviely a bit inferior to Lass, Khedira and Xabi Alonso, also because he is way younger then any of those. Anyway, in terms of ability and potential he is superior to all of them bar Xabi Alonso. Sahin is simply made for the slick, intricate passing we intend to play next season, has a lovely left food, can swiftly fit in in every position in a a midfield 3 or double pivot. In his last Bundesliga season he outshone Bastian Schweinsteiger by lightyears' distance. Would absolutely love to see him here but can't see it happening before we get rid of Essien or Meireles.

Don't know what the fuss with Cazorla, Arsenal, the predicitons adn our midfield is all about. 1. Arsenal can have a team as good as you like they will fuck up in the end anyway 2. Cazorla, Giroud and Podolski are okay but nothing more. Would have NONE of them in my Chelsea team. 3. Lamps and Mikel are vastly experienced players, they'll make sure they wont get caught off position in a counter. 4. Some of u might have forgotten what Super Frank Lampard is all about. He is an excellent passer, shooter, can read the game as good as anyone, has excellent positioning, is still one of the best midfielders out there, even German media had to acknowledge that. There are players who will struggle adapting to new position, Lamps won't be one of them. 5. Who the fuck is Liverpool or Arsenal? Don't give a shit about their fans predicitons. We are the Champions of Europe. We have nothing to prove. They have a combined title haul of one mighty Caring Cup since the end of the pre-Roman Iron age. Whilst they apparently try to affect their chances by farfetching some barmy predicitions its fare more interesting to see what our club actually does to shape its own destiny.

Heard at the time we signed de Bruyne choice had been between him and Shaqiri. The Club opted for de Bruyne because his better English... personally would pick Shaq any time... Bremen is probably a good side to be for him, although they as well as the league are utter crap. . Not sure about his chances here, far too slow for a winger, better prospect as a no.10

All worth nothing if RvP leaves this summer. Nonetheless they have somehow broken with their own - unsucessfull - policy and signed some established, experienced players as Giroud, Cazorla and Podolski. Though not convinced with the latter.

Courtois is - even though only 20 - by now one of of the best goalkeepers in the world. He would be absolutely wasted as only a back-up, he will challenge Cech next yyear. Anyway, the problem with Turnbull and Hilario is not they are average or not so good, its they are utter BS. How Hilario dances in the box, being always 5m off his line, when a shoot comes on target u already know its going in as was the case against Seattle lately. As poor as his positioning and bad ballhandling is Hilarios kicking, he misjudges about any backpass, can't kick a moving ball, we conceded numerous times because of that. Turnbull is simply a classic British goalkeeper, strong and good on the line but awful by judging shots, always good for an error and a joke as a footballer. U simply cant have back-up goalies as these adn it does not get any better when u have 2 of these. Any Bundesliga and most 2nd buLi side has a better back-up goalie. Even if its a short-term solution turnbull or hilario will cost us titles when cech is injured.

Agree, Mikel lacks effort and commitment and is not really persistent enough to be a world class DM. The frustrating thing is, he does not really lack the ability. He is by no means slow or has no sense for spaces niether is he a bad tackler, IMO Mikel seems to have a high standing within the Team and the way Lamps, who might have the most intelligent footballing brain in the world, rates him, makes me thing he is doing sth right. http://www.kickoff.com/news/29612/frank-lampard-says-fellow-chelsea-midfielder-john-mikel-obi-is-underrated-by-outsiders
