-Kaplan-

That's unrealistic considering the way we are trying to go about our business now(i.e. buy cheap and grow our own players). We can't just buy buy buy. As for the game: WHY GOD WHY?!!!! *shaking fists at the sky while kneeling down*

Will be very surprised if Mata stays past the winter transfer-window. He's too good to sit on the bench for us. Hopefully Mourinho can actually clear things up with him(not that vague bullshit), like he did with Iker. Otherwise, bye bye Mata. If he did leave, he is well within his right. He deserves to start every game.

I was inebriated. I just meant it takes a lot more than just a sexy team sheet to make a great national side(which is what you have to be to win the world cup). Point in case, Brazil up until the Confederations Cup. Belgium is just starting to gel. While there have been other teams( Spain, Germany, Argentina, Italy) that have been doing well for the last couple of years. Finally, with Chelsea having a significant amount of Belgium players, it's understandable why everyone is getting elated over the Belgium national side. I just don't think it's warranted, as of now.

Can we put our emotions aside and actually pick a great national team? i.e. people who think Lukaku was great or had time to develop his potential. Just because Chelsea has Brazilians and Belgians doesn't mean Brazil or Belgium are the best. Take thought in to it. You are dealing with a large sample! 1. Spain 2.Argentina 3. Germany

Is Swindon a synonym for Tottenham? Based on the previous posts, it seems like it.

What if he mentioned Chalobah to try and push him even harder? Maybe Wilkins just wants him to achieve his full potential.

Seriously. A good amount of posters put him there in their line-ups when he hasn't even played there yet under Mourinho.

What is it with people on this forum underestimating every team, only to come back livid when the result is not a win. Did everyone forget that Schalke reached the semi-finals in 2011? Yeah, I think we're a better team, but don't get carried away so much.

Instead of spouting random dross, you should make your idea clear. He screwed up? No. He made a failed bid? Yes. He has Torres, Eto'o, and BA. I think Mou already had the failed bid in mind when he started the season. You just want to hate on Mourinho every chance you get without any worthy substance. 2/3 of our strikers have already won the UCL. Obviously they aren't there for show n' tell.

I don't blame Mata. It was like when Mourinho told ManU to make a decision on Rooney, and not just let him sit on the bench. Karma is a .........well, we all know.

That's a little fucked up, don't ya think

Can we stay on-side? geez

What was Dortmund's reputation before they made it to the final of the UCL?

This is just as stupid as those who thought we would swap rooney for mata. Use common sense people. David Luiz is just as important as anyone else. Mourinho has already reiterated that he won't be selling anyone.

He is so loved by CFC fans, that you just want to sell him? Really? Fucking sad. The guy is SO good and lovable, why would you want to sell him? Might as well ask Milan why they didn't sell Cafu and Nesta.

Just don't freak out if we lose. All I am asking.

Get the "latino" package; most of the "soccer" games get transmitted through that since the sport isn't that big here. They also have great commentators if you can understand Spanish. Best of luck!

You want to make it seem like there is such a bettter offer, but there isn't. Please, Challenge me, The offer was 20k!

Bet me 20k and we will see who is the idiot. We both hate him so what is the problem?

You get Rooney if you are a desperate bastard. How can you be so stupid? We need a striker not a fat fuck. This is a shit transfer! Wake up!

I would be really upset if DL4 left. He's just too good. Just look at his hair and tell me you don't want that around CFC.

The thought of a fat-overrated shit kissing the CFC badge makes me want to throw up. His focus is on being popular not being a good footballer.

I hope Guardiola gets stuffed.

Drake is Canadian.

Rooney only matters when there is money involved. He did NOTHING for United last season AND they still won the EPL last season. Chelsea needs a "traditional 9" since they have so many great passers and playmakers (oscar, mata, hazard, lampard). Rooney does not fit in with them. Chelsea needs a poacher.
