Rubber bullets

Get over it, kakuta44 clearly broke the rules and was banned because of this. It does not matter if you think he should not be banned due to how much you think he 'contributes' to the forum, if you want to discuss topics with him then do it by private messaging - he was doing nothing but bringing up hatred on the most stupidest of things. Your not a mod or admin yourself and therefore you should not be trying to influence decisions on members. Trust me, as someone who has seen it on other forums that I've been in, you do not want to have a situation where members who are not admins or mods start thinking that they have some sort of power on the forums and can do anything they want or say what they want. A bit like players having player power and ruling the club themselves.

He better be good if we bought him for 5 MILLION at only 17 years of age.

About bloody time

Seems weird that our first game of the season will be on ESPN

He will probably still be used as an impact sub... I think Sturridge could be put up the pecking order if he starts getting a run of first team games and performers better then Kalou in terms of scoring goals.

If we get Kaka it would probably be a swap deal with Ashley Cole

According to this wiki - its yet to be announced http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_F.C.#Players

Ignore him, he is going back to his ultra negative thinking mode, which pretty much last the whole of a season until we win something.

He will give your precious Kakuta experience... which is what he needs if he is going to get into the first team squad.

One player replacing 4 older players who are giving their position to youth products.... yep sounds like an ageing squad to me.

Since he won't be able to wear his tradition nu.15 on the shirt, I'm guessing he will take no.10?

He will just be a squad player... so not a bad buy in my books, no need to get worked up about it just becuase it is not a mega-signing. Don't remember people getting this worked up when we bought players like Belletti.

Its just I thought every Briton wanted a British tennis player to win a grand slam since god knows when.

Video technology will only come into place once Blatter and the old dinosaurs at Fifa are replaced... but that seems a long while from now.

The problem was that England never suited Lampard apart from Euro 2004. He has always had to either let Gerrard be the one who ran into the box and attack while he had the act more like a DM, or was in a midfield that was congested with Gerrard playing at the left midfield and continuously running in centre midfield or had Barry come up and attacking himself which left holes in the midfield. Frank has always played better in a 3 man or 5 man midfield, not in a 4 man midfield which favoured Gerrard more in attacking terms.

Hahahahahah!

That might be not such a bad idea

Hopefully his performances will not decline due to his age.

Frankly with all the stupid rumors over the last two years, I just don't care anymore.

happy B Day Lamps... lets hope you legs won't collapse anytime soon.

Silva can play at both wings and in the traditional no.10 position, he would be the perfect buy for us, although I think Valencia would try all their best to keep him just after David Villa left.

Its quite nice getting no false hopes about a player.

Are you Hitler in disguise?

I highly doubt Kakuta is going straight into the first team, he needs time to adapt and he would only have 1 or 2 good games once in a while but would probably be a liability on the pitch due inexperience. Benayoun could be very useful utility wise, he is a hard worker who does not mind being used as a squad player. He is versatile and could be used as an attacking midfield, put at the tip of the diamond, as a winger or at central midfield - could give a versatile experience for the youngsters.
