CECH PUNTS....

Ronaldo said Neymar is Barca bound next season.

You guys can complain about the ref, but we got some decisions...... Mata getting the ball back when he fell down to minimal contact from Lucas that led to the corner, which Suarez handball and ultimately Hazard scored on penalty. Also, Torres did flop against Jamie C..... However, I blame this game more on Rafa taking out the three amigos....

Watching Daniel play today makes me wonder about Lukaku... If Sturridge wasn't able to get playing time on Chelsea, how in the world is Lukaku going to....... As of right now, Daniel>Lukaku, however, even when we were playing with one forward (Torres and no Ba) he was unable to get much playing time....Next season, with Torres and Ba and maybe someone else, how in the world is Lukaku going to get playing time here...

Am I the only person that thinks we didn't play well?

I guess we can lock this thread up permanently now.

3-2 Chelsea Suarez Stevie G Oscar Mata (Sub) Torres

Cavani Winger CM. I'm happy....

More than Benteke???

I would of put at least santi and michu before hazard....regardless, I still pick rvp, without him, the title race would of been closer... Also, how old do you have to be to be considered a young player?

Your right... Fergie could be lying just to save face since he was unable to get them 3... But sports in general, especially in America, with agent fees being uber high, I would not be surprised....

Anyways, the main point is that I was agree with BlueLyon that Chelsea do indeed pay inflated rates for players because we are Chelsea. In the future, we can obtain young assets for fmv, however in current times, players like Cavani or Mout, who are well established names globally, that would not be the case...When you have 3 top clubs gunning for one prize possession, it will never be FMV. Also, with FFP in place in the future, Chelsea mindset might change and numbers might not go out of hand, however, I don't know what position Chelsea will take concerning the finances of the club.

I don't know his wages, hence questionable.. However, with incentives, you don't really know to the full extent of the wages.... Also, sky sports had a quote/article from Fergie saying how ridiculous agents fees were and how that was one of the obstacles involving Hazard and even Nasri.

I said Lucas went to PSG, rather than Man U cause Man U didn't want to pay the agent fees. They prolong the transfer cause of that and eventually PSG came in and the rest is history.. When did I say anything about your knowledge on Brazilian transfers???????? Also, you should please tell me when I say 80-90 mi.... Stop smoking brah, it's bad for you...

NO, MAN U dropped out. Hazard didn't pick Chelsea over Man U. Man U didnt want to give into the agent fees/other fees (player wages are questionable), similar to what happen with Lucas and Man U. (It was pretty publicized) So, you honestly think Chelsea pays the same amount of transfer fee as a team like the Spurs? You honestly think Napoli is going to sell Cavani to Chelsea for 35mi and Porto Mout for 20 mi. It's ok, I love your bs valuations brah. Keep smoking what you do.

Keep coming up with these bs claims brah... It's simple, Chelsea pays more, cause we have the resources too and money is not an issue for us... You said Chelsea is a global brand with high reputation, blah blah blah.... I guess Eden hazard coming to Chelsea had nothing to do with money right???

That's a great explanation of a Russian's team bid for Oscar... Now, I wonder why Falcao and Cavani are being valuated so high? HINT HINT, guess who link to them...

Please link me to your claims... Also, you mean Roman's other club???

Who are the many Russian teams???? Anzhi and Zenit? They pay a tax too... Look at Hulk and Willain...

Ummmm. did you see the Spurs offer? Did any other team offer for Oscar??? Chelsea pays more for players because clubs know they have the finances/resources too. It's a pretty simple concept.

Look at what.... Where is Damiao???????

So, what is Fox soccer going to show now?????

They don't understand the "Chelsea Tax." Perfect Example, Oscar.

Marcelo or Fabio would be fantastic buys for Chelsea. They could provide width and depth at multiple positions.
