Special Juan

LvG was raging after the game and Scholes was like "Much better"

I'd like to see this.. Tibo Ivanovic Zouma Terry Azpilicueta Matic Cesc Pedro Willian Kenedy Costa I think Guus will go with Oscar central behind Costa, Willian right side and Pedro left.

See if this is correct this is the outlook that pisses me off with the board. It's quite plain and clear that Ivanovic is struggling, not only struggling but actually is very poor in quite a few aspects of the game. This isn't difficult to see, yet we are potentially wanting to extend a contract and allow him to continue playing. I have said before and will say again...You will not see pure fluency from Chelsea whilkst we continue with a RB at LB and a bloke who struggles to defend, attack and actually be consistent for a good period of time. Paul Scholes said the same as I have been saying for ages....stop square pegs in round holes, stop shackling attacking players, stop shoe horning players into positions they struggle in and let fluency and rightful players positions happen. Branislav Ivanovic is a very average player, and that's the problem right now, we have too fucking many.

Still time, lets just hope we do bring someone in but most importantly a player with quality and in an area that's needed.

BT absolute wanking over United but they obviously get better treatment than us and are allowed to be 2-0 down to Newcastle and still not win, like us. The fucking praise heaped on them from the pundits last night was nothing short of laughable...

Not sure what's the thickest..the board or Roman's wallet.

Wouldn't touch that Newcastle and United game with a barge pole....

Never heard of him, I bet Emenalo has though. And if he has anything to do with it the deal will happen.

12m fucking quid As for Liverpool and Caulker, who do they think they are? us? Chasing no mark defenders

1:15pm today mate. http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2016/01/manager_s-conference-live-on-chelseafc-com11.html

Doesn't surprise one bit with our board

Hauled off at HT was no surprise, went missing in the mist again, selling him is the right thing to do he's a passenger.

Don't think we will have a problem in this game, a very straight forward 2/3-0 win and on we march.

Limped off apparently.

Great interview, he speaks openly and I think that reflects in the players and play. He's a people's man, not a yes man but demands respect and he gives it back. He's a great guy, I really like him and I did before.

Another win, a goal from a fringe player, players smiling and now time for a few cold beers. Cheers.

3 for Bale tonight

Not even a farewell, he ain't playing.

Rooney has just saved LvG job by the way.

Ah sorted, nice one.

Bottom right hand corner in black?

I said a few weeks back I would raid Everton for both Stones and Barkley.

wes- Can you at least put a bit more content into the opening post please? A link is fine but you could also copy and paste the write up into the first post. That way people are more likely to post debate about it, where as they would click the link, read it and then leave without posting. Cheers.

No Falcao, no Remy...there's a surprise.
