Parky

You know why he is so frustrating. IMO he had the potential to be one of the best midfielders in the world. He has the physical and technique attributes but lacked the mentality. Apparently he was one of the most promising attacking young players before ManU and our club clashed heads to sign him. Maybe Jose tried too hard to turn him into the new 'Makelele' and stalled his growth.

Typo. Fixed

Petr you are a true gentleman. Thank you for your contribution to Chelsea. I wish you and your family the best for your future.

Dont worry Arsenal will never be a league winning side under Wenger even with Cech. Cech is classy man and he pushed for this due to family reasons. Family comes first, everything else comes second. I would choose my family over the club 100%. Only thing I would increase the amount to £18 million as they are a direct rival.

It would be a huge error to let Remy go..

Optimistic..

So is he taking a 50% wage cut? If yes than it's worth the risk. I'd say no automatic starters from Costa, Remy or Falcao. Let them all fight for a starting place. Keep them on their toes and hungry to score goals..

About to leave for the game. Super excited to see Hazard, Costa and Matic play..

@44 seconds she said "You come around mine for dinner, we'll celebrate with food ok". So what happened at her place bro?

FIFA seriously needs a major cleanup and clearout. Hope Blatter gets charged and incarcerated along with the 17 others.. Pfftt and to think they promote 'Fair Play'. What an utter disgrace...

Good let's get Koke and Griezman. Like we got Costa and Luis last year!

An ageing player coming back from major knee injury with an abysmal season at Man Utd. Why the fuk would we want him here with his huge wages? I see Torres v2.0 all over this! Dont get me wrong when he was at his peak he was arguably the deadliest finisher in the game but it would be a fatal error to sign him at present. I'd rather we have Costa, Remy and a young rough diamond as a 3rd option..

He should now aim to help us win the CL and the Ballon D'or for himself. He then could go on to become a Club legend....

Remy is quite underrated IMO. If we started him in as many games as Costa Im sure he would get 20 goals this season. Costa is better and suits our play overall but Remy gives us something different when we need that extra flair upfront.

I hope his going to be at the game today for the trophy presentation..

GK's peak later in their 30's. Cech is still good for another 5 seasons at the very least...

Can I please nominate KevinAshburner as a moderator. He is fair, objective, knowledgeable and always willing to be of assistance to the forum community.

Costa is better atm but Benteke has the potential to be an unstoppable beast like Drogba was at his peak. Unless we play 2 upfront we cant have both in our squad unless compromises are made...

Hmm that's interesting. I cant see we would just allow Cech to go without some kind of bonus for us. Maybe Di Maria for Cech + cash or more realistic would be a straight swap for RVP ?

What happened to the rotating player GIF's that sat in the top of the main forum page. I like that..

He is definitely not a Jose type player. I hope we don't sign him. He is overrated because he is English and plays for Liverpoo. For the price they want for him we can sign Grizeman or Reus plus Koke!

Congrats to Jose. Much deserved. Now please win the CL for Chelsea and become a great!!!

Would be a good option next to Matic. If we can sign him cheap might be good for 3 seasons...

Ibrah does not do #2 in anything and it is out of his vocabulary. He is either #1 or out. So this will never happen unless Costa becomes #2 which will not happen. BS rumor. Close thread.

Seriously hope he improves. He deserves one more season to prove himself imo.
