With 19 years old, he should be much much better than he is. If we want him to be our senior striker 4 or 5 years from now, he must reach the same level of Drogba/RVP/Aguero/Cavani/Falcao. He just does not have the talent, it is not something he can improve, he wasnt born with it. People get so angry when I say those things about Lukaku becvause they want us to have made a great deal and that he turns into a new Drogba or Ronaldo (real one). Well, I want it to, but that just aint gonna happen!

Yeah, spot on! I just belive a bit more on the "trying to send a message" rumor because I dont think Mourinho is that naive to bench the biggest symbol of Madridismo of the present time. Unless he wants to get sacked, but I personally discard that theory. He wants to be remembered as the best manager of all time, and for that he must conquer Spain (La Decima, in specific).

RADAMEL, PLEASE COME TO CHELSEA SO SOME MEMBERS CAN STOP CRYING FOR STURRIDGE!

Arsenal and Spurs are being linked with several players (not looking good)... We definetly need a top striker to keep the gap between them!

LMAO -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here are some managers who can be viewed as better or just as good as your so beloved coach: Guus Hiddink Some achievements: PSV - 6 Eredivise, 4 Dutch Cup and 1 UEFA European Cup; Chelsea - 1 FA Cup and UCL Semifinal (vs Barcelona); Netherlands - 1998 FIFA World Cup Semifinal (vs Brazil); South Korea - 2002 FIFA World Cup Semifinal (vs Germany); Russia - 2008 UEFA Euro Semifinal; Anzi - Currently 1st at Russian Premiere League. He has only failed at Real Madrid, but all of his other works have been outstanding! Hiddink is one of the most complete managers, he was excellent at clubs and national teams. Carlo Ancelotti Some achievements: Parma - 1998 UCL Qualification by Serie A; Milan - 1 Serie A, 1 Copa Italia, 2 UEFA Champions League and 1 CWC; Chelsea - 1 EPL and 1 FA Cup; PSG - Just wait... He has shined in Italy playing beautiful football, that is more than difficult. He gave Chelsea its very first double, also playing great football. He is a very classy manager and will have much more to do in France. Jose Mourinho Some achievements: Porto - 2 Liga Portuguesa, 1 Taça de Portugal, 1 UEFA Cup and 1 UEFA Champions League; Chelsea - 2 EPL (back-to-back), 1 FA Cup and 2 League Cup; Inter - 2 Serie A, 1 Copa da Italia and 1 UEFA Champions League; Real Madrid - 1 La Liga and 1 Copa del Rey. Jose never had one bad spell at any of his clubs. Even if he gets sacked from Real Madrid, he will leave them in a much better position than when he first arrived. He is arguably the best coach of the modern era! Alex Fergunson Some achievements: Alberdeen - 3 Scotish Premier Divison, 4 Scotish Cup and 1 UEFA Winner`s Cup; ManUtd - 12 EPL, 5 FA Cup, 4 League Cup, 2 UEFA Champions League and 2 CWC. I absolutely hate this mother fucking cunt. If I meet him in person I might even punch him. However, you cant deny he is the most successful manager of the 90s and 00s. Maybe even the best manager in British history. Pep Guardiola Some achievements: Barcelona B - 1 Terceira Divison; Barcelona - 3 La Liga, 2 Copa del Rey, 2 UEFA Champions League and 2 CWC. He was part of one of the best football teams to have ever existed and (as much as some people dont want to see) he did a fenomenal job. Barcelona`s movement and possession immensily increased once he took over. He is a tactical genius and is only begining. I personally dont like his style, but no one can deny he is a hell of a manager. Maybe not for every team, but definetly a great coach. Vicente del Bosque Some achievements: Real Madrid - 2 La Liga, 2 UEFA Champions League and 1 CWC; Spain - 1 UEFA Euro and 1 FIFA World Cup. I agree that his job at Spain is a bit protocolar, but at least he showed he can cope with the clash in the dressing room. His spell at RM was superb though, they had as a trouble team as they do now and he isnt having the same problems Mourinho is having. Joachim Low Some achievements: Stuttgart - 1 DFB Pokal; Germany - 2006 FIFA World Cup Semifinal, 2008 UEFA Euro Final, 2010 FIFA World Cup Semifinal and 2012 UEFA Euro Semifinal. He is also a young manager and his time at Germany has been great, despite the lack of trophies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rafael Benitez is a very good manager and his time at Valencia and Liverpool does prove that. However, I think he is too one dimensional to be considered one of the best managers out there. He has never thrived with a different set of players, formation and style of play. It is always the same way of coaching, with the same qualities and weakness. His time with a winner suqad at Inter is to be taken into evaluation. He either gets it right or the team is doomed, there is not much variation or second plan. Why he didnt get any offer from a big club for nearly 2 years? I wonder why so many owners and president are really that stupid to let such an amazing manager on the market. He did say so many times in his interview that he was waiting for the right job, I guess an interim 7 month spell at a club he hates is an excellent oportunity. Again, still a good manager. Just cant be placed into the top2, laughable. FSW!

Source?

You might be right IF no other team makes any offer (which I find it dificult to happen). Inter is not in its best financial days and it makes much more sense to get rid of his entire wage and make some good money...

Will they be willing to pay such high wages?

HAHAHAHAHA, I LOVE YOUR POSTS! A very bad job though, should have bought something that is actually good!

@rafafan, your name gives it all... You seem a Benitez fan, not a Loserpool fan!

You are not alone, you have TC!

@Kieran., where have you been dude? Hope you are alright!

COME IN AND GIVE US A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE!

Onyl if you completely dont know how to shoot... What Oscar really needs is to concentrate not to miss the goal or to kick straight at the keeper. It is not like he doesnt know how to bang it. He is in a great position, he can learn with Lampard (who does it really well), train and gain experience at a big club. As I said before, apart from the close range shooting, he only needs to adapt to play against defensive teams, get familiar working in small spaces (compat teams) and improve his body.

All the other players that failed had a portion of their own fault and over loan time, you are indeed a bit right. However, 1 or 2 years of loan for a 18-19 year old (Piazon, Chalobah, KDB, Lukaku, etc) is necessary. They all need playing time and a starting routine, it gives the players experience and teaches them how to handle with certain situations (on and off the pitch) they would not be having in our reserve team. Some really top players dont need to be loaned (Messi, Neymar, etc), but they are pure exception. All young players that belond to a top club, need to develop where they will have an important role. Just because we did big mistakes with our Academy in the past, it does not mean loaning a player is wrong and harmful. Piazon (also applies to other promissing youth players) is a great gem, who is being treated very carefully. He is spending time at Cobham (to get a connection with Chelsea and learn with our Top Players), he is getting minor roles at professional level (to get used to it when his time comes), he is also training and playing with our Under-21 Squad and he will ultimately be loaned (so he can comeback as a better and more experienced player). Everything is being thoughtfully planned. Also, Bertrand has been loaned to Reading and Norwich in the past, so I dont know where your argument comes from...

I BET IT WASNT OSCAR WHO WROTE THE NOTE!

Alright then, couldnt have made it more clear!

Yeah, but he is more like young Pirlo and Lampard than Iniesta... He also needs to learn how to get enough curve on the football so he can bang those close shots in front of the GK.

Yeah, I have said this many times... I do think he let the manager do his job, I highly doubt he demands for anyone to get a starting position. Also, we really dont know what he does in his visits, so we cant judge. Maybe he just comes to give some talks and see how things are going and making sure everyone is doing their job, it could be viewed as a routine CEO visit to one of its offices. Anyways, this has nothing to do with Benitez.

Lukaku will never lead our team. He does not have the talent to do so... He will become a good second option, never world class! We definetly overpayed for him, let him stay on loan until 2014, best for both sides.

Yeah, no huge worries! Typical game we are responsible for making it easy or difficult...

Yeah, neither of them played together at pro level though! Oscar got into a contractual fight with the club and left for Inter and Piazon was sold before getting first team play so SP could get money to buy Luis Fabiano.

I know, he was great yesterday and he doesnt like to score easy goals, LoL! Oscar still needs to learn to play against compact teams and to have a better ball control. Nothing major, but he is not familiar with such deffensive and physical teams...

Is there an important Norwich player?

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE AT TALKCHELSEA!
