Term-X

That's good to know, Hazard is a Hip Hop fan.

You've taken my post slightly out of context here, I was responding to Kojo’s ‘comparison’. Even though Mata was competing in the best league in world football, at the highest level. Also, by 'raw talent' I essentially mean 'potential', as you stated yourself when referring to Oscar, unless you were contradicting yourself. We had a Belgium fan on here saying similar things about Lukaku, yet.. when we saw him in a Chelsea shirt he looked like Heskey. The same posts about how we’d never pay such an insane fee and just let him rot on the bench etc etc.

The club have proven time and time again, that they are not good at 'gambling', for every good example, there are a million and one bad examples.

The two signings are incomparable. The Oscar deal is very much in the mould of Lukaku, insane fees for raw talent.

Hugh?, that never happened. 95% of 'this' forum & fans in general were satisfied with the Mata signing, it was unanimously perceived as a smart signing.

Agreed, this thread should be edited so that this^ is the first post people see. Embarrassing article.

Oscar = Lukaku II and we all know it, stop kidding yourselfs.

£18m is a lot of money for a sub... Oh wait.

David Luiz also missed a penalty for Benfica in the weeks leading up to his transfer, he seems to be rather hit & miss, his conversion rate isn't all that great.

..and as capriccioso stated, his penalty in the CL final was either going into the top corner or row Z. 2012/13 Penalty takers: 1. Lampard 2. Hazard

Mata is a poor penalty taker, it's not just because of the ones he's missed, it's his technique.

He doesn't have a squad number? Imagine if he took the 11 shirt, we know what he's like..

No, I never said that.

Lmao, that's a rather limited prediction.. He could have a decent season, not great but not poor. It's impossible for a 21 year old to flop like Torres did, I shouldn't have to explain why.

Carlo Ancelotti could have done more to facilitate Kakuta. He had impressive cameos in games, but found himself mysteriously benched afterwards, it happened both here and at Bolton.

^ This is the strangest post I've ever seen. Of course it matters, as it undermines his argument. Supporting another PL 'rival', yet still calling yourself a Chelsea 'fan' is ridiculous.

Yea, just what we need, another number 10, who can't/won't play on the wing.

We signed him last season, so I suppose you could say that spell post-january was 'essentially' a loan. With Kalou gone and Malouda on the way out, we will need the squad depth.

Sloth will be able to back me up on this, you were emotionally invested in City winning it, attacking me.. and having 'panic attacks' when QPR were leading.

I remember you having a fit and going into meltdown! when QPR were leading City on the final day, so we can discredit your opinion on this matter. Justin had a mental breakdown in the 'english football thread', when it was looking like City might lose the title.

It was an awful season, worst United team of the Ferguson era, and THAT City squad only managed to win it on goal difference.

I don't care how you pronounce it, I'm still calling him Hazard, sounds better.

I addressed that issue in the first post, next time try 'reading' the thread before posting. Silva signed a new contract with Milan until 2017, only a few weeks ago, yet!.. he's now off to PSG.
