Well the month is over ... must say it ended with the frenetic last day of the window ,, Not sure how Blue Lion intends to organise the next member but I know really altho Jim wont approve ..It really should be Jim for the work he has done on the new format ... I was honoured to have the title for an exciting month ..
I am sure something must have happened on the pre season tour of Asia ,,,He had a brilliant game but after that nothing ... Strikes a chord of the incident with Wilkins and our Board.
I think the problem arises in match day threads ...members do tend to use emotive phrases when things are going wrong . It happened a lot with Ballack in his last two years .. Most players get stick on here when things are going wrong in games . We have relied a lot in the past for Frank or Drog to dig us out of a hole At one time a Frank free kick might be a point winner. I think when there is a lack of respect is when things cool down and people use expressions such as "he is shit". Incidentally I think the "Kalouda joke " is past its sell by date .. Seems some members find it a must use phrase in every thread.
Well said . Seems too often we see vitriolic criticism of our players . In truth though we have missed the pre injury Lampard. I had hoped a long summer break would have solved last seasons problems , alas that doesn't seem the case. I hope I am wrong but I worry that his career is in decline . No longer have I the confidence that in a tight game "Frank will save us"' Still he will remain a true Chelsea legend and his goal scoring from midfield probably will never be seen again ... Don't mean this to sound like an obituary ..just recognising age does catch up eventually.
it was the usual knee jerk reaction to the failure to land our first choices . I must admit I find the loaning out of Yossi baffling .I assume he had a major falling out with AVB ..or it has a board (Roman) decision , Im sure we will never find out. things will look better if we win our next two games..
we have spent over 60 mill in this window ,,,Mata is a big hope ... perhaps Lukaku ...but really we havent addressed the needs we have. looks more of the same ...depressing
