Reddish-Blue

United have 4 players.

Decent player but I just don't see him making it into the Chelsea first team. He might end up like Sinclair or Jack Cork in terms of leaving Chelsea for a Championship level side..and then eventually getting the chance to play PL football at some point in his career.

Good to see Moses proving his doubters wrong.. Hope he gets the chance to start a few more games as the season goes on.

Wouldn't mind Papadopolous (mind the spelling).

I dont know why we made the complaint in the first place. Referees will start giving 50-50 calls against us more often if it's proven that Clattenburg didn't say the word monkey.

I don't get it. Would of been more appropriate if Bolton and Spurs held a Muamba tribute friendly at WHL.

Hopefully we can offload Torres and bring in a better all round striker.

Imagine Bony & Lukaku playing together up-front. The sheer strength and athleticism, that would be awesome to watch. Bony for anything under 10 million would be a bargain..but I agree with DanishBlue..signing him would affect Lukaku's chances of breaking into the first team in the next 2-3 years.

Both good young midfielders..I like Strootman but PSV won't sell in January unless we pay 25 million. Also, there would be competition from Fergie if we tried to sign Strootman, cause he's been on United's wishlist for 2-3 years.

Yea, I remember a few good matches by Bosingwa (before the major injury) but the rest of the time, he didn't know how to defend. I'm glad he went to QPR, hopefully he can help them get relegated from the premier league this season

Not entirely convinced about RDM just yet. If he can get our shaky defence sorted out, then keep him as the manager for the long term. Would be awesome to see the Special one back at Chelsea at some point in the future.

Cahill needs a more disciplined CB alongside him (eg. Terry or Brana). Luiz is a good player, he knows how to defend..but he needs to seriously improve his decision-making, I mean you can't just run half way up the pitch whenever you feel like it.

If only we could play Sturridge more often..and get him to sign a new contract.

The sooner Torres leaves, the better for Chelsea.

Just hope we win. I wanna see Cahill-Brana at CB. I just don't like the idea of a pest like Suarez going up against Luiz.

Definitely agree. Barca's defence is pretty weak but it's covered up by their excessively high possession of the ball. I mean if you can retain the ball for 85+% of the game, the other team has limited chances to break through & score a goal.

This. I remember the first game between Celtic and Barca at the Camp Nou, they only managed to win by a goal against an organised defence...then in the following league game, the Rayo boss hits out at Celtic, decides to play an open game against Barca and his team gets rolled 5-0.

Hazard's help for Bertrand was exactly what you would expect from a CAM/winger. Bertrand just had a very poor game, thats it. Hopefully, he learns from this game & shows his true ability in future games for Chelsea.

Well..if you were on the bench for 80-88 minutes nearly every game and you saw the person ahead of you in the pecking order, do nothing on the pitch apart from link-up play, you would be expected to have a bit of an attitude.

If Azpi develops in the next 1-2 seasons, I see Ivanovic being played as a CB more often. I liked the look of Cahill-Brana at CB against Swansea, they look like a better pairing than Cahill - Luiz. I'm not gonna hate on Cahill or Luiz..but clearly there is a lack of understanding between them, which just makes our defence look open and extremely vulnerable.

Good work by Celtic, particularly Fraser Foster (in line for England debut as GK) & 18-year Tony Watt for scoring the winner against Barca.

Marin's a winger, I remember when Bremen tried to play him in the CAM "Ozil" role..he looked out of his depth. Willian is like our attacking trio..he can play at CAM or on either wing when needed, I just hope he doesn't join Spurs in the summer.

Bertrand definitely isn't ready to play against the bigger teams. He looked out of his depth at LB...hopefully we give Cole a new contract.

Well Torres is the most likely reason why Sturridge has yet to sign a new contract. He knows he's just as good, if not better than Torres atm...but what can you do, we're sacrificing a talented young striker who isn't afraid to shoot in order to keep the hopeless Torres as our main striker. It's clear that Torres should be the one to go first..but considering no club would be stupid enough to pay him 175,000 a week...the chances of Torres leaving in January are very low.

http://www.weaintgotnohistory.com/2012/11/7/3611600/chelsea-fc-transfer-rumours-wallace-fluminense Apparently we had 50% rights for the talented youngster as part of the Deco deal...it's great if we have signed him (our RB spot will be solid for many years to come with Azpi and Wallace) but I'm taking this with a pinch of salt. Need to wait for some official confirmation.
