Badboy

I don't even want to watch Ross Barkley play! I grew up playing football with him and now he's the next Ballack.

We're top of our group though and practically already qualified with 19 points. We haven't lost a game and only drawn one game ! 16 million people in my country and we'd wipe the floor with the English national team !

Doesn't matter you're still a shit footballing nation !

He's going to a club that expects to win most games of the season and that is much better then the no pressure scenario of West Brom all over again. This loan will aid him in his education and he'll be much better for it hopefully !

Best thing for everyone because he'll get another season under his belt and he'll start most premiership games. Demba will stay and Eto'o will start most games so its ok !

this is getting comical !

They've looked at our situation and figured out that if Hazard isn't dribbling with the ball then we're fucked because we don't have another ball carrier. You can't just pass the ball into the goal you need dribblers ! Oscar and Mata will offer little of that and Shurrle or whatever his name is 18 million down the drain !

The other team that has put in another bid is PSG.

Hazard really pissed me off in this game. He's was the only dribbler in the whole side and the onus is on him to take the ball on and to commit their players ! He didn't do that at all and I think its down to him choosing not to. We can't go a whole season with a team full of static playmakers that don't want to run at players unless they arrived from the championship last month.

I think they've signed him because only Hazard from the three we have behind the striker has any sort of pace. Oscar is no slouch but his pace is different its more of a midfielders burst but Willian has sustainable pace and he has a good cross from the left flank he can also see a pass. At the end of the day we are going to play an absolute shit load of games and we all know what the Christmas period is like ! Kevin and Oscar are both versatile enough to play in the pivot next to Ramires..... Willian can play right across the 3 behind the striker. Imagine if we lose Hazard to injury ? He's the only player we have who is fast behind the striker we'd be easy to defend against. Moses is on his way in my opinion !

I think Oscar could be doomed. I know Chelsea football club.... when Chelsea sign a player for 30 million they make sure he gets games no matter how bad he is. Mata and Hazard are on a another planet the only player who I can see being replaced is Oscar....

That is exactly what i don't understand..... Why are we buying a player for a position that we are very rich in ? This is a weird transfer and it doesn't make sense. I think they might think that we need a player who will open up that right wing because Oscar comes in field too much ?

I think they want Oscar to play next to Ramires in midfield.

^ I would love for Torres to even try and undermine Mourinho at this club.

The only issue I have is the fact that they have strikers that are scoring and we made the mistake of starting the season with Torres. I think if we go there and keep our shape and keep organised then the worst that'll happen is a score draw.

Torres just ain't on hazards wave length.

What a ball from Ramires

Errr ok

Torres to start apparently

Lukaku has to start upfront for me he's our number one striker and we have to back him like we backed Drogba !

Explain the other clubs then without dodging it. Bertrand did well in the CL final but he's still a bench warmer and at 24 years of age the only experience he has is Championship football. The other clubs have at least 3-4 other players who have made their mark in the last decade ! Your point of having the youth academy revamped isn't even a plausible argument. We've seen at least 3 to 4 generations of youth fail at this club with probably the most expensive youth system in the world.

No its not though because we have spent much more then any other and we've constantly failed at this club. We actually brought it into fashion to spend millions on youth player who are 16-18 years of age its ridiculous ! Last 13 Years since the start of this century players that are home grown or bought at very young ages who played for the youth academy before breaking through.... Man Utd Darren Fletcher John O'shea Danny Welbeck Tom Cleverly Man city Micha Richards Joe Hart. Nedum Onuoha Liverpool.... Raheem Sterling Martin Kelly Jay Spearing... Tottenham Andros Townsend Ledley King Jake Livermore Danny Rose Kyle Walker ( Kyle Walker is debatable but he still started off in the youth academy then broke through) Chelsea Bench Warmer oh sorry I meant Ryan Bertrand John Terry broke through in 1998 and if you say Ledley king broke through at a similar time he never because it was his performance at Anfield in November 2000 that got him into the Tottenham first team squad.

My problem is also with the youth signings who have been bought for silly money at 16 17 18 years of age like Franco Di Santo, Micheal woods, Tom Taiwo and Gael Kakuta and each of them failing. We missed a whole transfer window because of Kakuta.... Micheal woods and Tom Taiwo was signed for millions when the had only just finished year 11 in school. Frank Arnesen done a horrible job when he was here and our youth scouts are shit.

I hope he doesn't because he won't get a game and that will stifle him. Goalkeeper in a horrible position because there only 1 in the starting 11.

I think he'll be one of the player Mourinho will have a massive influence on in the coming years.
