How about Norwich? I bet they would play him.

Game day - reasonable line up please jose.

would anyone really want him too though? (i have no opinion of him , but does not seem to have much hype)

Barcelona, ​​where he could go. "I do not think I could break more easily at Barcelona . When it seemed the ideal club for young people. But look at Barcelona now . You have Messi, Neymar, Suarez. It is for young players very difficult to break. (...) And you have to be realistic. Barcelona is the club of my dreams, but it is also the biggest club in the world , along with Bayern and Real. An intermediate step is required . And in terms of development between Chelsea is such a step . well that was clever, well said.

i really want to see him play.

zouma will sort him out. i think papy could too. but it will be a miracle if he makes the bench.

Who is your favourite pov? Mine is probably sam

i just trawl through my favourite chapters. namely nights watch ones. also you can listen to an audio version on youtube, if you are feeling lazy.

Is it your first read through?

"We have spoken to Chelsea, they keep in contact with us and really do analyse what is going on with their players. Early on [bamford] found it quite a step up as far as the tempo and demands of the Premier League plus the way we play and train. He had to adapt. But he also had a little niggly problem with his knee which has not stopped him playing but has not been ideal." "Without doubt he has got the talent - he is a finisher who pops up in good positions. He can score a goal. It's just whether Alan [Pardew] feels he can put him on as a number nine or as a 10 in the pocket, sometimes we want that pace to run in behind, which isn't really Patrick's game." "He's been a little bit unlucky and not done a lot wrong. It's just about the balance of players on the pitch because he can play number nine or 10. But it's been a good experience for him but shows the step up from the Championship. It's another level." "Chelsea will monitor it because they will want to see him having more game time." -Keith Millen; source: South London Press http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2015/10/15/9538131/crystal-palace-assistant-manager-responds-to-chelsea-concern-patrick-bamford

sell him with a buyback, that would probably be the best option.

can't tell until he's starting games. i think Saturday is where that begins. unless he's with cesc in a 2. then its probably game over.

According to the Independent, the Blues boss may have been keeping an eye on Dynamko Kiev winger Andriy Yarmolenko, who has attracted attention from a number of top clubs. The 25-year-old has been in sparkling form for club and country, following up his impressive tally of 19 goals from midfield last season with eight in his first 13 games for Dynamo this term. After Chelsea’s lacklustre start to the season, Mourinho maybe looking to improve his attacking options, with summer signing Pedro yet to settle and Eden Hazard out of form.

He is capable of a good defensive shift (liverpool) , has athleticism and technique. He is fast for a man of his size.

Best option next game imo is: mikel sitting , matic and rlc marauding. Proper fullbacks. Reintroduce cesc eventually.

A lack of a proper 10 and striker also caused that , and unbalanced fullback. Reckon luiz matic would work with those 3 things fixed

I'm not accepting this , he is a magnificent player. Our boneheaded manager needs to give us 433, a formation that benefits everyone , but we linger with the detestable 4231 for whatever reason.

Just terrible team selection and set up.

Bosnia , slovenia and Hungary , are the only 3 I'd envisage us having a good chance against. And I know very little about these teams

ah fuck sake. should have kept on long. hopefully there are some pub teams in the playoffa

thanks man , its been far too long without a tournament. as long as its a 2-2+ draw, and we are through!!

sanchez is a far bigger goal threat, and that's what impresses people more.

a hamstrung ivanovic is still the first name on the teamsheet.

fair enough. calling someone who is 57 , nearly 70. so rude does jose have to insult everyone?
