Blue Colored Sky

It has 0:0 all over it then conceding with the worst defending of the season. WTF. Both teams created shit yet one is 1 up and it's not Chelsea. Terrible feeling.

He could play in the FA CUP.

Hopefully after their next game against Liverpool though. Need their luck and grinding skills at full force for now.

Can't stop laughing when I saw Zenith fans accusing Hulk and Witsel that they are going for the money and they sold themselves. LMAO. They went to East for money and now further East for further money. Soon they'll end up in Australia

No, seriously the wingback issue has to be addressed ASAP. I couldn't even celebrate Cahill goal too much when I saw Alonso down injured.

It's irrelevant. Cut off date has passed. They need to pick up 10th from now on. It's stupid but it's date that matters not matchweek, so some teams only have 18 league games before limit is increased. Proof: http://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/discipline/suspensions

Yeah, weird but 8 points is whole different story. We deserve more after second best half a season in Premier League history.

There's no one that wants that marquee signing on the right-wing more but I can't see club ovetcomitting here. No doubt though that we will go all out at this in the summer. I don't know what they figure out now. Because we need more than 3 players there. We have internal option in Musonda so hopefully he stays. But he has to convince Conte. He has good work-rate and his talent is apparent so I'm quite positive. Kenedy is different. I can see him as liability as well as great there. But he has to sort his attitude. Honestly I hope we buy that LWB and that fella from Monaco can come in and cover for Moses as well as displace Alonso. It's no-brainer.

It's made up rumour from a guy who I don't even know if exist lol. But nothing he wrote has come off yet which is amazing considering the pace he produces his bullshit.

I'm thinking about that January window and man it's tough. Our squad is so thin now that we need players asap but you don't want to overcommit now and have tied hands in the summer. I always say that our biggest gap is our right-forward side. When we desperately lack in quality. Now we lack in bodies. 3 players for half a season? City have Navas, KDB, Sterling, Silva, Sane, Nolito, Gabriel Jesus. 7 players. Not to mention that Willian is absolutely hopeless at the moment even by his standards. Leaving us with Hazard and Pedro. Yet if we can't get James in January then what? I don't want average dude who come cheap. We can wait till the summer and go all out on Griezmann (if Atletico ban is lifted) and Alexis Sanchez (baby) but what with this season? It would be biggest robbery if we steal the title from City with that forward line comparing to them. LWB. We don't have anyone else. I doubt Kenedy will be around. I'd love if we buy Sidibe from Monaco. Guy can play on either side so we would have cover for right-side as well, which we also don't have BTW. Absolutely wasteful would be buying another centre-back. My option: Kessie + Sidibe + Musonda staying. Or James + Kessie/Badelj (cheap) and bring back Baba lastly Kenedy if he figures out his professional commitment.

Not so sure. Look, here's Lukaku in under 13 tournament https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSvxIKhGyGXHO-P0VQ_ygcJleEtPowT0_GvlbRnYuagK3ZKGTHY And Lukaku was born in Belgium, he cannot be age cheat.

I've seen you tweeting about him. What's so wrong with Atkinson?

Their loan options would be blocked then. Would need to stay until the end of the season since you can only play for two clubs within the same season. I really doubt that Conte will play either to test water. If he fields one then it's definite "yes" for staying.

Forgot biggest of them all - Bernardo Silva. Guy who would improve us immediately. Sidibe + Bernardo and we'd be set. But any of them will cost fortune.

Don't you think he's 100% that? We agree that he has great athleticism but I see from limited footage that he's comfortable operating with both feet and can pass pretty opening balls. Yeah, sometimes very sloppy but the good signs are there.

I may be wrong but here's my take what happened. Oscar is really talented player, clearly. So many managers said so that I have to believe them. I also remember that from his pre-Chelsea /early Chelsea days. His game against Croatia at the World Cup sticks out. That was prime Oscar. The last game he was pumped up for the game. I think he just lost that youth freshness. As he matured it's hard to really see that freshness in him. He looked visibly unmotivated and hardly giving 100%. He looked like a guy who's made it, has wife and child and isn't that much more interested in improving and chasing every game. I'm not saying he didn't give a sh*t just he lost that sparkle and chasing the dream attitude. It may be hard to enforce that upon oneself as proven by many players who's career hasn't develop. So China. It further convinces me that he has lost motivation. He's made it and now he may almost retire. Though I think not such extreme change of scenery would do him good but now it's irrelevant. The only thing that bothers me is that there were signals that his career goes into this trajectory yet he was given clean slate every year. Too much time was invested here. At the very least we have money now to make up for that with quick fix buying made player and not another project.

Isn't he right-footed?

Who's this guy Bakayoko even? In other thread I said that within first 2 minutes of YouTube clips I can say if there's something wrong with the player - and he is such case. I start looking at him, on the videos that supposedly should make him look good and he looks so poor on the ball, his technique is average. Seriously, how can we contemplate buying such player for our title push? This is the guy that solidify us in the front seat? Guy who can't make opening pass?

I always say the same, I don't care about our young players as long as we buy clear world-class player/talent. I'm all for buying Busquets to block Nate's path. But this guy is marginally better copy of Chalobah and lacks experience. So 30m€ for a project who still needs few years to develop? Stick with Chalobah and spend on something we don't have. It can be even youngster as long as good one who offers something new.

James is married to David Ospina sister. Ospina can't move from London during Xmas so James and family go meet him there? James posted several pictures with Ospina in London previously.

Yep. Ffs, can see when we're about to solve RW issue we soon have one on the left side.

I like the look of him very much judging by Youtube videos. Within first 2 minutes I can say when there's definitely something wrong with the player and I was surprised not to pick up glaring flaw. I have not seen a minute of him in full game but I'm positive. Guy looks fast, great stamina, has natural hassle which is triggered whenever he has to chase the ball, decent technique and lastly looks able to keep momentum in attacks and bring others to the game. I'm charmed by whole 20 minutes I have seen of him. Potential issues? Right foot and hopeful crosses rather than placement.

What are you suggesting?

I'm dreaming? Could our 4 year struggle with right-winger/forward be over? After watching those last 3 games I'm even more assured that he is the player we need. We're solid like a brick wall, we need that one creative player more. We're that one signing away from being clear title favourite. We barely create, teams figured us out, we need special players to unlock buses. You can't do better than James in that regard. He is just through ball machine, every time he has the ball he looks for opening the space. He will find it cosy here having 8 players behind working for him. Does club want to leave the squad with barely 3 attacking midfielders?

We're as solid defensively as we have ever been in Roman era. Our formation relies offensively on the 3 front players, we can't allow one of them to be a passenger. The last 2 games we finished with Chalobah and Fabregas as our right-winger. Hopefuly it's an indication that Conte has enough of our current options.
