I'm not convinced that redeveloping SB achieves anything other than postponing the problem. Upgrading The Bridge will drag our stadium up to twentieth century standards for sure, but we can all see the deep, deep flaw in that situation. I believe that a stadium which is truly fit for the future can only be created away from SB. That said, you have asked the right question of course, and an acceptable answer to that question is now further away than it has ever been.
Speaking purely personally, I would be prepared to widen the radius of the search for sites, but I accept that the greater the distance from home base we propose to move, the fewer and fewer Chelsea fans would go along with it.

this thread is sort of pointless, never understood why it was opened in the first place... we've always discussed and followed EPL matches at the English Football thread and we'll continue to do so...
As for Chelsea matches, we do it in the match threads, so I really don't get the point to this one?

He really didn't say anything about Fabregas. This is what's so sad about the British media. Mourinho said nothing bad but because it's him the clueless hacks create a non-story using sensationalist headlines. It's just a sad reflection of the football culture in Britain, most especially in England. The players are bang average. The pundits are completely clueless. They know nothing about European football when compared to their European counterparts. "If it didn't happen in the Premiership, it didn't happen" is the mentality. The coaches are dire and antiquated, emphasizing physicality and "passion" over technical and tactical skill. The big, bulky kid always get's an advantage over the smaller more skilled ones in youth set-ups. This among many reasons is why England only have one World Cup to show despite apparently being a "big" footballing nation.

Go easy on them. Most of them only get out one day a week
Their oh-so-great Stevie G could be one of the big factors in them losing grips with the title. After all the huddle hype.

I'm reading the Diego Torres book on Mourinho right now. Of course I'm taking everything with a pinch of salt

Diego Costa for £32m IS A MUST MUST MUST HAPPEN. Or Rooney for £25m/Cavani £50m is OK too but I prefer the 1st option. Costa isn't fat and isn't a cunt who is money grabbing like Shrek. He also doesn't have the 'dream of playing for Madrid', I could always see Cavani fucking off from his club 1 day when Madrid come calling.
Shaw for £25-£30m is also a must, especially if Cole leaves(which he will imo). Sorted that for next 15 years? Maybe Ricardo R of Worfsburg if Shaw or Soton refuses to move
And the rest is spare change, don't really need anything else imo. Got enough impact subs like Salah, Schurrle now. GK sorted, even if Cortoius leaves. RB sorted, CB with Zouma now sorted. CDM DEFINITELY SORTED WITH MATIC and others. CAM is not even debatable. ST is a MUST.
So we could spend 60m in the summer on those 2 and that is all I want. Along with recalling Courtois, Lukaku. But I have real fears that we might sell both of them well I wouldn't worry about Lukaku because Costa would sort us for the next 5 years anyway while Lukaku seems not good enough for a club like our. But I would be gutted if Courtois leaves, one of the best GK in the world atm. Actually I would prefer us to sell Cech if it means keeping him.
Promise to be a good summer imo, but expect 1-2 big departures. Cole, Lukaku, Courtois and even Luiz(hopefully not now) could be sold. Also I wouldn't be surprised if Lampard isn't given a new contract if he picks up a long term injury in the next few weeks to the end of the season.

Yeah, I also can't believe he is only 1 year my senior. I can't even grow a beard yet
anyway I don't believe his passport is invalid or so. Look at Robben. he joined us aged 20 and already looked like being in his 30ies

As a someone who watches Milan Balotelli doesn't have the work ethic hes the kind of forward that will lose the ball and just stand there and start pouting we don't need that here at all..

Have you ever seen Rami playing as winger?
