Exactly. Win AND bye bye. He fixed your post :-)

Well, we are a business ater all it seems. Now, I hope the board remembers a long term vision and football successes are needed to make it a sustainable business.

Lol. Not really, I enjoy the play in itself more. The link up, the moves, seeing young players flourish. That shit rocks MY boat :-)

I was in heaven. Felt like a drug :-)

I don't agree. The taste of the pudding is in the eating and Dries' pudding has always been delicious, so to speak. He creates, scores and is always there when we need him. He has not reached his ceiling yet, so I will be very curious to see him play in the PL next year (but NOT F*** Liverpool!!!!) All the rest is guessing and conjecture. I just enjoy seeing him play. For fun: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=51NBqZybiVw

He will. I feel in the preseason he was maybe not quite ready, but the german league (which is also quite physical) made him take huge steps. He got played in a variety of position, mostly on 6 and has performed in all of them. Now he also took the stp to the Belgian NT and considering his last games there, he is a regular. His progression curve is just immense. So, next year there is NO disregarding him any more. I am even betting he is going to be one of our best 'transfers'! No doubt in my mind. He is different, but on a par with Hazard. Seeing those two playing and connecting together last NT game (Witsel played a big role connecting the midfield and attak as well, I believe) was magical Ps! (makes me me a lil emotional even when I look at the highlights - - 10 minutes of sheer football genius!)

Nope, it IS gonna be the Hazard -Mata - Ba show. 3-1!

Lol @fellaini the ogre !!

Witsel. The human metronome our midfield lacks now.

I actually seriously doubt that random statement. Let's see in the future.

Remember the commotion on Hazards performance on his thread? I truly think we are being unpatient with young players a lot (btw agreeing that oscar did not really 'shine' this pl season). And I think thats what the 'youngens' need actually.

Naaaah, I am just in the thanking mood apparently after yesterday so I fear i might overdo saying thanks today to all :-)

Thanks Sinine!!

Reeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaallyyyyyyyyyyyy :-) Hence double meaning. I really pictured you playing in The Blues Kitchen, Camden .... Must be the pic :-)

Bluesmaster could have a double meaning .... Just saying :-) In my mind I could picture you with a blues guitar tbh. The gloomy moods? Lol

Aalst? Voil janetten?

Thanks, bluesmaster. Ps: do you play any blues btw?

Disregarding the potential result .... i missed a Chelsea midweek game. Please, let it be a good game. The NT experiences from Oscar, Hazard and Lamps 'us have done them some good. Also hope Ba's mask fits well :-)

Dumb question but what does this mean for the viewing time here in europe? I missed much of the US tour already ...

In just about every team he played they said he was too small ... He always performs, even in the NT he is one of the strongholders. Just look how he ripped the holland NT a new a-hole a while ago :-) I would not bet against him succeeding in the pl. he will play here (pl) anyway next year I think!

Talent yes, very much so! Fun to watch, very much so (love his moves)! Overhyped, very much so! Incredible gay hairstyle and diva attitude, yes, very much so! A good Chelsea investment for that price. Definitely not I think.

Exactly! :-)

As I said numerous times .... KDB is on a par with Hazard talentwise and he performs as well. He is the missing piece on our midfield! Great game also, but we belgians are often very critical bushman :-) its our nature

Id sign up for a game like that against Wigan and win 1-0 :-)

Thanks everyone for the votes! It does feel weird waking up this morning like this! Ps: i seem to be out of likes too so 'i like all the above'. Cheers
