I can see us signing him now and I'm not happy about it. I just have a feeling that he's going to force it through.... I don't think this lad has much left in the tank...

There's going to be massive competition for midfield places this season. We have many players that want to play in the middle and I think we'll probably have a double pivot this season meaning there's 2 slots. I don't see anyone at the moment who is a definite pick for the double pivot ! No stand out player to be honest ! Van Ginkel has a great great chance !

Yeah but my question is why isn't he up for the fight ? Rooney was always a far superior player to RVP when they were young and it just seems that Rooney has gone backwards in his development. He should show that he's the best striker at the club like Drogba dominated Shevchenko when we had signed him.... Why isn't it upping his game like it did to Didier ?

He was the one who threatened to leave Man Utd the season before ''because of a lack of ambition'' because he wanted better players to be signed. Alex Ferguson signs RVP who is the best striker in the league at that time after winning the golden boot with Arsenal and what does Rooney do ? He can't constantly pick and choose and hold his club to ransom.

Rooney wanted to leave when Alex Ferguson was still the Man United manager and he handed in the transfer request which Ferguson admitted in public. I think he see's the fact that United have RVP and Hernandez and he doesn't fancy the task ahead in all honesty and a few former players like Micheal Owen have said it in the past few weeks. If he thinks he ain't gonna get major competition from a confident Lukaku then he's mistaken.

The thing that worries me with Rooney is why is he so scared of competition as if he wouldn't get that at Chelsea ? He has an inferiority complex against RVP and it just shows that everything has to revolve around Wayne Rooney and do I really want that type of player at Chelsea ? I really don't know ! At first I was looking at this transfer and I was excited but Iv'e started to take other factors into consideration and started to use my head more then my heart and I've got reservations at the moment and those reservations are not going away !

He didn't want to leave first time ! He left because he made a silly comment about omelettes and Roman felt that he hadn't appreciated the money he'd spent in the past most of it being under Ranieri by the way. Roman stopped spending all of a sudden and we started to struggle with free signings like Ben Haim, Sidwell and Pizzaro ! Look at what happened to Mancini at City !

Sam it does seem that you have a problem with him that runs deep because you have criticised him to no end ! You are constantly highlighting his failures when in all honesty its not easy to find any manager that has been as successful as him at his age. I respect your opinions though !

How can he be overrated by anyone... Drogba is the greatest target man that has ever played the game in my opinion ! The art of playing with the back to goal was advanced by Didier !No player has been able to play with their back to goal as good as Drogba and he was probably the most unselfish striker that I'd ever seen in his first 2 seasons. Drogba was the difference when we were under pressure and when players like Lampard and Terry were getting outplayed by players like Xavi and Ronaldinho.... Drogba was the man that constantly stood up in semi finals and finals and dragged us from near losses. I don't care whether he got a little lazy after 2010 or whatever the amount of knee injuries and other injuries he's had in the past at his age made it lucky he could even walk. There is not one striker in the world I would of traded for Didier ! no striker has the fire and hunger of Drogba !

Yeah I agree.... Don't know what's happened to Josh ? Classic example of good player being roasted because of no stability.

That 04-05 side never had Champions in it though. This Chelsea side has a lot of players who have done it before and they don't have that barrier !

He doesn't want to come to Chelsea and he's made that crystal clear, what don't you guys understand about that. Even if he does arrive we would of been wayyyy down the pecking order..... I don't want him any more he's treated our club like a toilet and we're better then that !

I wouldn't mind getting Tevez for 15-20 million and starting Romelu upfront. Think we should give up on Cavani to be honest it's too much money for us to dish out !

Lets be fair to Jose now because that 07-08 season was unfair on him because he got no money and he could only sign shite like Sidwell if I remember correctly. SWP was a horrible signing but a lot of the shite jose bought was the rotten eggs he could only afford when he went on his rant... he never really wanted them !

I think it was probably what the club needed though Roman was a cold business man and he did it for the benefit of the club. I remember we all wanted him to stay because we felt sorry but you have to admit he's not on Mourinho's level. Would he have won the league the next season probably but not as clinical as Jose !

I would agree if you said players who are easy on the eye like Robben then i'd agree but Mourinho is the ultra manager for efficient no nonsense players like Drogba and Essien. Mourinho bought winners like Carvalho.... Ranieri bought players easy on the eye like Veron and Crespo !

He said he was like Tom Jones in one of his interviews lol but Roman shit all over him..... everyone wanted him to stay because they felt sorry for him but Roman was cool and clinical and knew Jose was the future. I remember that season because I went to the opener against Liverpool and Veron scored then Hasselbaink my Dutch brother smashed one into the kop end and we starting singing its a new dawn a new day ! Never forget that season oh and we were destroyed by the Spanish king Fernando Morientes in the Champions League after possibly the worst tactical decision by Ranieri after Monaco went a man down.

I don't really expect better from the BBC in all honesty.

You don't get as many goals as he does ''lacking a technical ability''. His passing has improved greatly since he's joined the club too !

This lad who had a blinder for Nigeria last night is a Chelsea player lol didn't have a clue. I don't listen to the commentary so I wouldn't have known !

I think it's nice to get the hard away fixtures out the way early.

I think Lukaku is already a better player then Sturridge and he's a lot more rounded and he'll prove to be the better player in future. As for Kakuta.... the biggest waste of talent in Chelsea's modern era what a waste !

My friend who I play indoor football with from Spain has been going on and on and on and on and on about this guy all season.

Kinda don't even want him now the figures being talked about is just silly and we're not desperate. He's a brilliant player and In my opinion the best finisher in the world but there are other options available.

I hope Brazil lose every game they play. How they never picked Ramires is beyond me !
