Carlo is getting quite annoying in the sense of him sayiung one thing and then not meaning it. Sturridge DESERVED to be started, and he plays Anelka instead?

Why the fuck is Anelka playing?

How can we disscuss having tyhe player if he is set to go somewhere else? We held talks with him and failed, better to pack up the briefcase and move on to the next one on the list rather then moaning about what could have been while the window shuts.

Sturridge is class! Not world, but he defo has a future here if given his chances. In the end, that's what it is all about - Carlo's confidence in Sturridge's abilities and the amount of game time he should have.

It's Daily Mail - wouldn't surprise me if they just wrote the 'quotes' themselves to try and lure more then there usual 4 readers.

I find it funny how a discussion about Mikel's role in the squad can deter into the same arguement over Kalou (a player which i have spent my two pence on more times then i want), Kalou is at Chelsea and his role is above those like Sturridge, far enough. I accept that Kalou is a member of the Chelsea squad and that his talent is somewhat substantial to the amount ability which many of us think Chelsea should have, but he is a persistent player that give his all, albeit sometimes it causes frustrations at least he tries! Mikel is a young player but is also an important player to Chelsea, and like i have said, it wouldn't be the wisest of choices to let him go. If Mikel prefers to play a more attacking role then it is a matter of communication between the midfeild and the defence to sort some kind of system in which Mikel can go forward but doesn't make us prone to the counter attack. You have to remember his devevelopment is still continuing, even though he is one of the best defensive midfielders in the world.

problem with this though is that he has only recently joined the club. I doubt very much that CSKA will just let him go for such amount if he is such a decent talent, especially at that age. But then again, maybe Roman can use his Russian connections to swing the price down a bit

From that video all i know about him is that he can score a penalty. So, is he worth 19 million euros because he can score penalties?

Welcome! You must have felt weird with the 3-0 win that Sunderland did over us

I would like to see some kind of signing in the next week or so, something to ease my tensios that we won't have someone until the ed of the month, something which would be to less beneficial to us in the League. Hell, signing a 17 year old would at least show that we are looking into buying people, instead of quotes that could lead to nowhere.

He is on the right side of the 20's, and give us some depth. If we do nor if we don't is something that is up to the club, but personally i wouldn't mind him coming here.

He has his moments of magic for Everton but isn't really the type of Midfeilder we should be getting, and with the source, which i thought was banned, i am somewhat dubious on the fee. Pienaar isn't the type of player to take us forward, and i would rather have Hamsik, even though the chances maybe slim.

Sturridge to start for me!

Very sad to here that he will be leaving, even more so for the amount! I wish him all the best back i his native land, and maybe we can see him become what he has the potential to be. Hopefully, this could mean that Marko Mitrovic steps up to take the role he should have gotten.

Eden Hazard over De Bruyne any day!

Sturridge scores 5 and he gets a start. Borini scores 5 and he isn't even on the bench!

Could be describing Hamsik or Pastore?

Kranjcar, Pastore, Young and Hamsik for me

Carlo, the man for me. Maybe he needs to tinker with the starting eleven or the tactic, but there was a reason he was brought into the club, and there's a reason why he should stay. We may not win the league this year, but whose to say we can't build the squad to win the league three times in a row in the next three season? It is a matter of patience. It is January, the window is open and we can finally add the players we need to our squad to fight for CL place, and for the FA Cup.

Bruma and Sturridge starts, i'll faint!

Is this how the football ebay works? Because i am sure the person who is trying to sell the player has got the wrong web address.

Whose is to say he can't move up the feild when we have possesion or when he has the ball? He just needs to be disciplined enough to make sure that everytime he does go forward he can backtrack enough to break down any counter attacks.
