For fuck sake why is Lampard starting again?? This is really starting to piss me of. Criticise me for it but I wish he never got a new contract

I really dont want Lampard to start but I have a feeling he will start

27

Thank God for the 3 week break I do not think Etoo and Willian are properly match fit. It will be like a mini pre season for them to get up to fitness with the rest of the squad

Excited about this transfer as this is an upgrade from Ba and Torres who both have terrible movement in the box

25 million is a bargain I guess for him in this transfer window

Wow what a group Basel??

Phew we dodged a bullet by not getting Dortmund

Torres used to be one

He used to be a world class striker just like Torres used to be one. Its either going to be a hit or a miss this transfer

just no Lampard in the starting 11 then I am a happy man, also would prefer Mata starts the game too

I think this year Torres will miss out unless he starts playing well again he wont be starting many games at Chelsea

For a world Cup year Torres does not look like a player who wants to go to the world cup, he is not even showing any signs of being an actual striker

Exactly what I have been trying to say. Mata's lack of defensive capabilities is outweighed by the positives he gives us in attack. He scored 20 goals and had 35 assists meaning he had a direct hand in 55 of the team's 141 goals last season which is over a third of our total goals. Surely a player like that deserves to be starting every week and can be excused fo his lack of defensive work.

Hahaha like he was ever goin anywhere lol

Looks like its working for Bayern, also it gives us width especially against teams like Villa which will park the bus against us

Yep it accomodates an extra playmaker which would solve the Mata and Oscar issue in my opinion, Oscar is good at dropping back and whilst Mata has the eye for a pass so its a win win situation I think

I put van ginkel in the middle to give us more strength in the midfield. The team formation is what I would love to see goin forward so that we can accommodate both Mata and Oscar who are both great #10s but with different qualities

Chelsea i believe is a better team without Lampard than with Lampard IMO. By the way I still havent forgiven him for the mistreatment he gave to AVB, to br honest AVB may have done it in the wrong way but he was right Lampard can no longer hold a place regular place in the starting 11. He saw the future, I believe his goal scoring covers a lot for some poor decisions he does in a game even poor England realised that a while ago. his poor in position he slows down the counter attack, he shoots too much. Look at Casillas the guy never got a game but he handled it like a professional and did not sabotage the Manager like Lampard did with AVB ie before Napoli game

I know Mourinho is too conservative as a coach but I would like us to play a 4-1-4-1 formation with 2 play makers. Cech Cech Cech Azp Luiz Terry Cole Azp Ivan Luiz Bertrand Ivan Luiz Terry Cole Ramires or Ramires Mikel Willian Mata Oscar Hazard KDB Oscar Van Ginkel Hazard Shcurrle Mata Oscar hazard Lukaku Lukaku Torres

He did a Ramos to us

Not a fan of the signing would hv loved to see the money invested elsewhere but since his now a CFC player I will fully get behind him unless we lose Mata because of him because I think that would be treating Mata like shit whose gone from a potential wage rise to being put on the transfer mkt indirectly

Can we close the thread already??

Please no loan just sell him. What is the point of loaning a 27 year old player??

I am really worried about his continual presence in the starting line up. He just does not cut it in big games anymore for us. I hope Mourinho realises that soon enough. For a player who has had a pre season disrupted by injuries its really surprising that he has played over 270 minutes of football without being substituted. I hope Van Ginkel starts on Friday. The kid was impressive in pre season and deserves his chance.
