Uhm yeh.. so? Where do i not rate Juninho? I just said the amount of freekicks he has gotten was prolly more than beckham had in his time + the oposition GK's weren't that good as those in PL, primera division.

Well you get more as a team + weaker GK's, ive seen some going in that couldve been saved by a bit better GK , especially those at longer distances

Well it's prolly between Juninho and Beckham, Juninho scored more (against weaker opposition also tho) but Beckham has even more quality in his FK's if you ask me.

He's better

Hazard with the playstyle of dembele!

Heh i dont really see anyone writing him off tho We were just a bit dissapointed by his passing in that game, something thats usually (very) good. And he even didnt have such a bad game tho, wasn't the worst on the pitch on our side, was working hard to make up for it prolly, which is a good thing!

If they board decides to sell him (which i think would be extremely stupid but well), they really should include a buy-back clause, fe sell him for 15M , be able to buy him back for 20/25M within 2/3 years because theres a high chance they will regret it if they dont.

Well yeh defence is very important ofcourse, but i saw some games at atleti/NT this years where any non topkeeper wouldve let some in, thats why i also think he would prolly be able to avoid to get in 70 and only 55 orso at southampton compared with their current goalkeeper, but this is difficult to discuss anyways. He's an amazing fella tho, as said in Courtois topic, he has 24 clean sheats out of 41 games, and i know part of that is due to him only since athleti defence is not that good, for instance our away game with NT against macedonia(out), serbia(out), schotland, any non top keeper wouldve let one in there prolly, thats why i think this. Sometimes you see keepers having a very good/lucky day and keeping some impossible shots out to get a clean sheet, Courtois has this in like 1/2 of his games, ive seen him getting bombarded at genk and still manage to get away with a clean sheet, the saves like de gea vs mata in manchester game (with his leg) , courtois somehow manges to pull that off regulary... Its hard to judge goalies from youtube compilers for this exact same reason (it can be down to luck) but fe this compilers is from one/his first season at genk as 1st goalie, the amount of amazing saves in that one already is quite impressive, same in athletico after one year really...

You will be great at telling bedtime stories to fall asleep.

Oscar seems to be in high spirits for next weeks! http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/oscar-ready-for-chelseas-important-week-8550917.html

Yeh he needs players that think fast with him/have good technique to execute that, KDB-Hazard could be immense for Belgian NT, and especially if you add oscar/mata, we could have one crazy midfield in a few years

Source mentioned is actually Fanatik, no idea if that's trustworthy

Yeh but his passing was also unusually sloppy, didn't have a great game, made up for it with his workrate tho

Already discussed something similar some pages back + he never said that.

At this rate his top 10 goals this year will be impressive He also hit the bar, else 2 beauty's...was motm for the first time for Belgium i think.

Heh its as if he's ready to fire up one there

I doubt that was the reason,it was just a friendly, and if so he will have to get his act together for the WC in Brazil, pressure will be waaay heavier then, nothing comparable tho this.

Yeh wouldn't do any good for either Cechs or Courtois confidence, but the plan was/is to loan Courtois till 2015 and then take over... unless that changed.

Think its rather impossible for Courtois to concede 70 in one season unless its the worst defence ever

25M offer rejected, gala wants 40M http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/galatasaray-reject-chelsea-bid-liverpool-target-yilmaz-3892551

Ain't he too good for backup? :/ (prolly even 3rd in a year or 2)

reminds of hazards penalty's

Good game by the Chelsea players anyways!
