LOL.. Chelsea material.... There a reason why Liverpool and Arsenal were after Ki prior to last season.

Mancini and Champs League don't usually work out well...

Melo used to be one of the best dms, however, ever since he left Juve and was dropped from Brazil, it feels like he disappeared from football.. Is Hamit the other CM these days? DO you guys plays 4-2-3-1?

Besides our draw, I think the City vs barca draw will be the most competitive/interesting.... Yaya returns to Camp Nou and CIty have 2 Barca targets in Silva and especially Aguero. CIty might be able to actually pull it off and I wouldnt really consider it an "upset."

Melo use to be such a good DM....... I wonder if he is as good as 2010.

Does this mean Spurs players are for sale??? Getting Willian really f up AVB. Bid up for Capoue.

Drogba aside, how are their other players? Havent seen Melo since 2010 stomp and Wesley since his Inter days... This is a pretty difficult draw IMO...

So many cheap options at CM that came or currently in Ligue 1. Are we going to expect Witsel to be our Mikel? Or is Rambo going to be our Mikel long term? Dont think Witsel and Rambo would work as well as people are thinking it would..

Ki might not be starting material for Chelsea, but as a squad player with our current options he would be. I dont have anything against Shaw. I said Mourinho might not favor breaking the bank for him judging upon how hes playing our full backs right now... I prefer Alaba, Marcelo, like you said attacking fullbacks, however, that doesnt mean Mourinho does as well... Also, why not Michu?

When they showed Jack doing it... They showed it for a split second, than went to another player.. I was thinking did Jack just give the finger..

So, Witsel is box to box right? Your going to pair him up with another box to box CM?? Your right on the champs league fixtures. But I meant to say European games... Also, Ki going on loan was mostly due to personal issues he got himself into, rather than football reasons...Their a reason why Landrup didnt sell Ki and only loaned him out. Asia WCQ may be easier than Europe, however, Korea and Japan have always done decent -well in the world cup.. (You know the same Japan team that beat Belgium in belgium for a recent friendly). Is Shaw strong? How so? In the recent game, he didnt look awfully strong..

Man United won last year looking like crap and RVP brilliance the whole season... Fergie's been winning 1-0 all the time these past few seasons..... Cant expect to be like Barca, Madrid, or bayern and consistently destroying teams 4-0 in their respective leagues....

Nothing Wrong with Witsel... However, Im just saying most people keep saying Witsel without ever seeing him play...... Unless, you guys enjoy the russian league.. Nothing wrong with Witsel. However, I doubt a lot of people actually watched him play. Its one thing to play in Portuguese league, however, its another thing when u play for the russian league, unless you guys sit down and actually watch Zenit play. Also, all three are cheap, realistic alternatives.... MVilla was the hottest young CM until he became a knucklehead, Cabaye is a stud and Matuid plays for a great PSG squad.... They would all come about a quarter of what Witsel supposed price range would be... Why would Ki flop here. He played well for Swansea, Korea, and Celtic prior to Sunderland. He's played tons of Champ league matches and he is currently Sunderland best player (even thought they suck). He has good passing range, height and strength, positioning and a good shot.. If you think Essien 2013 is better than Ki, you gotta be kidding me. Obviously, Bison was one of the best cms in the EPL, but Ki is a better DLP than anyone on Chelsea atm...

Maybe not in Europe... But, in the states... Also, Shaw not really know for power and strength... With Mourinho selecting Ivan all the time and having Dave play pretty conservatively, Im not sure Mourinho would break the bank to get a player like Shaw. But than again he did get Fabio Coentraeo at Madrid......

people keep saying witsel, I bet half of them never seen him play (excluding the Belgian contingent). Should of taken Ki on loan this season... Would of been an adequate squad player or more... Even though Sunderland sucks, he's been their most consistent player since the arrival of Poyet. Covers the backline well and can attack forward. To me hes an upgraded version of Mikel or what Chelsea envisioned Mikel to be. Than their the french contingent of MVilla, Cabaye and Matudi (Pogba unrealistic still). Also, you guys think Mourinho would want Shaw?? Shaw seems pretty weak (granted hes very young).

This is old news, but did Mourinho really say that Cole, Terry and Lampard were getting contract renewals next season?

I think his head is in Camp Nou.

Aguero-Negredo-Dzeko has happened to Jovetic... In addition, Silva-Nasri-Navas... Prob would had a better chance at Arsenal. But than again, Arsenal probably would not have signed Ozil.

You cant rotate 6 ams.... Should of swap him for Shurrle in the beg. to lessen the transfer fee and used the additional funds on a French CM

City scored 4 vs United 6 vs both Arsenal and Tottenham. Yea... A draw would be a very good result at their stadium for us. Scary part about City is that they dont even have all their players on the same page yet... (Jovetic, Dzeko, kompany, nastastic, etc)...

True. but so is the board...

Isnt this the douche that said Cavani was a Chelsea player.

Why do I bother responding to you and bushman.

Just cause we were 4-2-3-1 on paper, doesnt mean we play that during the game most of the duration. Anyone can see, Chelsea 2013-2014 is mostly 4-3-3 during the game. Jose knows his pivot is shit, why would he play 4-2-3-1. There a reason (one of many) why Oscar starts over anyone else in the middle and why both KDB nor Mata can get any playing time for Jose...

I can get 1000x likes If i write KDB is god. Hazard is uber. Oscar is uber. Doesnt really take much to get the approval of kids these days.
