See ya around mate. Take care of yourself and I'm sure you will be back one day. KTBFFH! :blue scalf:

Im hopeful this year will be even better than last. Hazard is the 'Diamond' we should build our team around. I'd like to see him to play the 10 role in the center eventually...

I've always believed Oscar should play deeper in a box to box CM role or a wider midfield role rather than an AM. He would be perfect in a 4-3-3 formation on the right.

Really liked what I saw. He's actually very solid and seems to definitely be a Jose type player. Im expecting him to make our first team in a few seasons..

Arsenal are in good pre-season form and scoring 4+ per game. It will be a difficult game for us and we need to be very disciplined and try to be error free and take our chances. Both teams to score should be a good bet for this game..

He needs to aim for more pass accuracy as I feel he gives away easy passes. I want him to be more influential in the games and dictate the tempo and midfield. Playing a bit too much like a 'star' atm and needs to get stuck in like he did in his Arsenal days.. I want to see more this season..

We need to build this beast up and give him more game time this season. He has the raw potential to be a great CB.. Jose is probably the best coach to build up a young defender to be a great..

I like his directness and determination but he needs to improve his final delivery.

His still warming up to 100% match sharpness and fitness. Im expecting him to score 30+ this season.

We should have finished the game first half. Oscar hit the bar and Costa missed a great chance. Cesar made a rare error by his standards but all in all this is pre-season and match sharpness was not 100% so thats understandable.. A win none the less to carry the confidence into Sunday.

So cringeworthy frustrating to watch him fail so hard. I was literally laughing out loud at him today. Haven't done that since the Torres days.

What a fucking joke..

We're fucking hopeless. Playing like a kids under 6 team..

We play too compact and we're very predictable. Jose lets try a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 and mix things up. Keep our opponents on their toes.. I want a better 2nd half!!

Mikel has half a football brain. Can only pass sideways or backwards. When he tries to pass forward he gave away possession in dangerous situations. Must get rid of him..

Sell: Oscar £40Salah £12Curdardo £20Luis £15Mikel £8Moses £10Marin £5Piazon £5Romeu £5Total: £120+ Buy: Pogba: £65Griezmann £35Rodriguez £25Witsel £20Stones £30Netspend: £55 Time to win the treble. Total squad depth plus youth. Bench: Begović, Ivanovic, Stones, Zouma, Fabregas, Ramires, Willian, Remy, Falcao, RLC, Solanke

But we signed Cuadrado instead. Good job!

So do we want Witsel or Aranguiz. If we sign both players than we would need to sell Mikel I guess that could improve the squad dramatically...

Im optimistic we will sign him but it will be a protracted ordeal. I have a suspicion Man Utd will try as well if their pursuit of Ramos fails..

LOL

Subs: Begovic, Ivanovic, Zouma, Ake, Ramires, RLC, Aranguiz, Willian, Remy, Falcao, Solanke Sold: Oscar, Cuadrado, Mikel, Salah, Moses, Romeu, Marin, Van Ginkel, Piazon Possible Buys: Pedro, Varane, Pogba, Reus, Stones, Benteke, Bale

Just thought instead of purchasing Moses, Salah, Cuadrado & likely Pedro we could have signed Griezmann and Reus. Also sold Oscar, Mikel and not sign Aranguiz instead buy Pogba and have kept De Bruyne.

Ok this thread needs a 'Welcome to Chelsea' youtube video

Not another right footed AM. We need a strong left footed AM like Griezmann who scores loads of goals and will give us more options up front as well.
