Z-25

cadenza666 is right, it's a fake pic made by TNC to show that the tweet related to Zaha moving to Man U was faked and that you can use "element inspection" in Mozilla Firefox to tell the it was faked. However, on the Falcao transfer, everyday we seem to become more distant from signing him and Cavani as well. All this managerial instability is damaging our reputation and what is more important is that we possibly have the best young talents in our squad but still we play with no philosophy.

the latest blog from Guillem Balague stated that At. Madrid chairman Miguel Angel Gil is in london to negotiate a deal for Falcao for the summer here is the link to the blog: http://t.co/hXUir07c dont know whether it's true or not, just want Torres far away from our club. edit: apologies for the double post.

That's my point, I'm not against Luiz but I'm against the role he is being given, it can't be that the coaching staff are that stupid not to see the difference! and like you said, Mata is the best player to dictate the play. We even won away games I personally thought we had no chance of winning (spurs and arsenal) with Hazard and Oscar playing wide the same as tonight.

exactly! that's what we should have done, play as a compact unit because it's way too early to depend on oscar and hazard who are still in their early 20's to lift the team by themselves while Mata has done exceptionally well to be playing on the same excellent level from the start of the season for a player who's been playing non stop for 2 years. you are right, 4th place looks like an achievement and it will won't be an easy task.

all I'm saying is that Luiz is being given far too much freedom, which affects our build up and most of the time render mata and hazard trivial not to mention we have a striker who doesnt know how to create any proper movement off the ball. so it is a lost cause. all this being said while losing to two teams we should be beating with style, no big teams yet. also, it is a real shame that after acquiring all those creative players, only to ask a CB who is playing as a CDM to create chances for the team. sadly, the team has no strategy or plan when playing just depending on individual brilliance from either Mata, Hazard or one of the CB's to win us a game. pre-season was just a waste of time

ok, but what's the point of playing long balls when Torres is the one upfront? because that was the whole story of the game against QPR, either long balls or shooting at row Z plus, the meaningless playing from the back with all the unnecessary dribbling from Luiz and Iva that was far far indisciplined performance to be happening in a big club

we might be going a transition but not when we are two games away from a final. anyone who watched can see we sat up poorly (tactically) with Oscar and Hazard pushed so far on the wings. I'm not gonna even comment about torres, his fee explains his starting for the team every game for us. Roman needs to swallow his pride and kick him out. the only positive side is that we are in January so we should get real and strengthen our squad we need at least two more strikers and 2 actual CM's. there is not enough competition within the squad, while the other issue is the lack of discipline, specifically shown by Luiz and Iva. we spent £££'s last summer to have this quality collection of medfielders only for Luiz and Iva to play long balls straight into the opposition, makes no sense at al! If Roman planning on sacking Rafa, Torres should be going first. At this rate we will end up mid-table at best.

We would be lucky if we sign Fellaini, he has a dominant presence in the middle of the pitch while having the ability to run up and down the field and a good finisher. Also, many are talking about signing him may compromise the youth chances of breaking into the first team, which is not true imo, because our younger players look like they gonna need 2-3 years of loaning to develop into individuals who are worthy of representing Chelsea. Another point, when you look at any of the squads of our rivals, they have quality players all over the pitch without the need to experiment and use players out of their preferred positions like we are doing with our midfield. plus, all season we have been using around the same 18 players, while we could have made use of the available 5 slots. Finally, Oscar was never thought of as a pure AMC before joining us, he either played as DLP or CM during the Brazil friendlies last summer.

lol he could've just shaved his afro instead of moving houses, less logistics! fair play for the car though

Fellaini bought a house in Manchester last month I believe.

Feruz, Piazon, Bruma, Patrick Van Anholt, Chalobah (looked like a first team player in pre-season) and Pappoe (not sure about the spelling). I'm a believer that we will have one of the most exciting young teams within the next few years, once we get rid of the deadwood.

ditching Torres and his wages would open so many options in rebuilding our squad that will allow us to show the real quality we have in the three AMC's

exactly my point! £11m can be considered reasonable when the other option represented in Willian who will set us back £20m+ and he is not even the main player in his current team.

Cavani would be my chelsea dream signing even over Falcao he offers width when needed and can play with another striker the only issue with any potential deal is that he has one of the worst agents around.

Taison signing seems to address the issues concerning our squad depth, as we have one of the smallest squads in the league. Plus, players like Taison, Marin and Moses should be squad players on lesser wages replacing the current rubbish bunch who are refusing to leave the club while sitting on big wages such as Malouda and Yossi, who are costing us around £90k each per week. There £180k per week cleared for more new players to be signed.
