What a player

Terrible news...RIP Maicon

http://prosoccertalk.nbcsports.com/2014/02/07/newcastle-reserve-coach-sacked-for-allegedly-striking-player-after-conceded-penalty/related/ Newcastle's Under-21 manager resigned...after allegations that he hit a defender for giving away a penalty

I'm just happy that we completed the signing of Zouma....Tah is talented but he's at least 4-5 years away from playing as a CB at a top club

Other than Vidic, Nani & Kagawa...most of their players wouldn't really improve other top european clubs.

He's a striker, capable of playing as a winger if needed He's similar to Daniel Sturridge..in terms of pace, dribbling ability, likes to take longshots..

Moyes couldn't convince Otamendi to join United... Now Otamendi will join Valencia at the end of the season http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/newsid=2051876.html

I agree that everyone has a right to an opinion...but let's be honest, how many Chelsea were expecting Torres to become such a poor player after his goal scoring success at Atletico & Liverpool? As supporters of the club, you can live with a few poor performances here and there...but when a certain expensive player goes missing in MULTIPLE games throughout MULTIPLE seasons....you tend to get frustrated....and in the end, you let out the frustration by calling him derogatory terms like the one you mentioned.

You don't pay 50 million for a good teammate....you pay that amount of money for a striker that is capable of scoring 25+ goals in the EPL e.g. Aguero, RvP, Suarez He's a rubbish footballer, deal with it

So you get to decide which people are proper Chelsea supporters? This is a forum, plenty of players have been called names after pathetic performances....and Torres deserves his share of criticism

Perfect game to test our title credentials I'm hoping Chelsea win 1-0

Fulham need relegation....I think a fresh start would help them as a football club.

Moyes won't get sacked because he's the chosen one And let's be honest, the longer Moyes stays...the better it is for us!

Overreaction?

Brilliant performance from all players Such an important win in the context of the season

I just don't see the FA agreeing to B teams Right now, most EPL clubs have unofficial affiliates in the Championship or League 1...eg. Man United & Birmingham have an agreement about loaning out youngsters....Liverpool & Derby have an agreement...Arsenal & Sheffield Wednesday have an agreement ...etc  

To be honest, other than Southampton's current production line...most of the EPL teams aren't really producing that much youth.

So your point is that academies are useless? Even if you have the cash to buy X player, fans love to see a homegrown youngster break into the first team. It's a completely different feeling as a fan, when you see a 19 or 20 year old take his first steps with the main XI, as you know deep down that this kid was produced by your academy As for your example about Fabregas and Pique....from what I recall, it was Fabregas' choice to join Arsenal (even though Barca wanted to keep him) and Pique chose Manchester United when he was 16...because Barca could not offer him a professional contract at that age.  

I think this would be a much more realistic English lineup for Brazil: Starting XI Lallana - Rooney - Sterling/Lennon Gerrard - Wilshere Barry Baines - Cahill - Jags - Walker Forster

Will be interesting to see if Lukaku becomes a regular at Chelsea...he's still got a long way to go in terms of development I think we'll see Courtois and Piazon next season...with the likes of Zouma, Traore in the long run.

Wouldn't mind 3 years...if it includes a coaching role for JT. eg. He could play another year and then if he wants to stay at Chelsea, he could become Jose's defensive coach

Priorities for next transfer window: 1. Quality striker 2. Young LB (I'd take Shaw or Rodriguez)

@JayC, No need to be sensitive mate Let's put this way...Mata should help United improve and the 37 million should help us sign a decent striker Win win situation for both clubs?

Makes sense...he wouldn't start ahead of JT & Cahill at this point of his young career

Does Hernandez fit Mourinho's system? I'd much rather stick with our current 3...and then buy someone at the end of the season
