ChelsTransferGossip ‏@ChelsTransfer 30m Chelsea hope to secure Colombia midfielder Fredy Guarín from Internazionale for around £15m next month. (Guardian) #CFC #Inter Tancredi Palmeri ‏@tancredipalmeri 9m BOOM! Chelsea have raised their bid for Inter's Guarin to 18m €, deal close to be reached what a shit deal would this be. 18 m wasted, I cant believe it. wtf is Mourinho doing (if this is true).

Draxler more physical than Willian? not at all. physically he is weaker than Willian.

he doesnt seem to affect pools dressing room that much...

he aint no B2B at all. his favorite position is the AMF behind the strikers. defensively he is way too weak to play as a B2B and also he hasnt got the lung to run that much. he is more of a creative player with a good technique and good finishing skills but not a B2B or CM at all. would be another dumb transfer, because we dont need no AMFs. only if we sell mata+ another one maybe.

I agree with you, but you have to consider that in the last weeks, we havent played good football compared to our standards. some people of course are overreacting, but all in all, credit where is due and atm, the team doesent deserves the credit- and neither does mou. maybe after monday, a lot will change. Monday will be a huge game and a win would be massive.

if you talk about big games, than ok, I dont care taht much if we play good or not. but against freaking crystal palace AT HOME, a fan can expect that we control the game and not have to be nervous until the last seconds of the match. if not for cechs and Ivas block, they would have equalized- we are talking about the 18th or 19th league team, you do realize that? nobody is crying out for 5-0 or 6-0 wins against them, but is it too much to expect a normal, stable and controlled win against a probably soon to be relegated team? if yes, then you should go and support west ham united or fulham or teams like that, if youre standards are that low .we are playing shit for weeks now and its normal that people criticise this. if you are happy with the performance, fine, but not everybody is happy with everything the club or the players do.

diego costa has a release clause worth 38 m euros. rossi would be another 20 if not more. would be 58 million alone on strikers. futhermore, we arent playing with 2 strikers (at least atm) and Rossi surely wont come here to play the 2nd gear. I think one top-class striker is enough, hold on Lukaku and than maybe sign one older striker (like pizarro), who can still score some goals. that woudl be a good mixture. but I think Torres will stay, so we only will probably buy one striker. futhermore we need one LB, maybe one CB and also one or two CMs/DMs. so we need to spend huge amounts of money in the next summer, and I dont know if it is worth to spend 40 m on 1 player. its also questionable if Diego Costa can play as a lone striker because at Atletico they often play with 2 strikers or even put Costa as an RW. Rooney would be the PERFECT player, but I dont think United will sell him. DailyMail reported today that they will offer him a 5-year contract :/

I thnk that we need someone who can dictate the game from the deep. someone like alonso/modric. this type. Pogba shines at Juve because he has Pirlo to his side, who dictates the game for example. Witsel is not really someone who dictates the game. also he isnt really shining for Zenit at all. he stagnates in his development.

so in fact we would lose 1 midfielder (mikel), we would have one, who is 1 year older than now (lampard), one great B2B (ramires) and maybe one good midfielder added. and futhermore a talent, who hasnt proven anyhting yet...sounds not so good, eh? futhermore witsel is not really what we need. he is also kind of like a b2b, and we have one in Ramires. witsel is just physically stronger and has a better passing-game.

what a shit performance and line-up. why the hell apzi is playing as a LB? he cant attack on this position and hazard always has to play against 2 or 3 players on his own. azpi on the left is like a death to the left side. and ivanovic on the right was horrible once again. essien was just ugh. mata invisible, willian MOTM. torres beside the goal shit too. ramires good. our defense awful. I am afraid of the game against Arsenal...they could tear us a new one... Mourinho should stop talking and start doing something. he is talking bout meritocracy and then benches Schürrle wtf? and his substitutions were horrible. We are now 4 months in with Mourinho and he hasnt developed anyhting- in contraire, we are even worse I would say.

well, spanish media was also saying Ronaldo would leave blabla and than he renewed. I think if Xabi decides to stay, there wont be a big problem to renew his contract. Carlo is a big fan of him.

if monaco dont have to pay the 75% I think its even more unrealistic to get Falcao...surely if they join the CL they can cope with their squad without selling him.

AS Monaco won't pay 75% tax while all other clubs will be forced to pay http://www.spox.com/de/sport/fussball/international/frankreich/1312/News/as-monaco-soll-doch-keine-reichensteuer-zahlen-ligue-1-bernard-cazeneuve.html

it was the same with real madrid. they conceded tons of goals at set pieces. we are playing quite well. controlling the game and getting some chances. the goal was clearly cechs fault.

Willian couldnt create anything at all. all he did is getting the ball and playing backwards or to the men standing next to him. and Mata also couldnt create any chance at all. and in the 2nd half he was a total passenger. futhermore we cant get any width to our game. azpi cant attack as a LB, and Ivas attacks are mostly just embarassing. he cant cross properly and his passing game is also limited...if not hazard, we would not have created anything today I think.

how on earth willian was excellent? i cant remember one good action by him. always played the ball back to the defender or to our DM. he really couldnt create anything the whole game and drifted in to the centre far too often. he has no clue how to play with our team at the moment.

hazard amazing. torres, mata and especially Willian awful. and our defense...no words. Hazard won us this game, without him, we probably would have lost it.

Falcao better at dribbling? what? Lewandowski is amazing at dribbling and far better than Falcao. Dribbling isnt even Falcaos strength. Positioning both are great, dont know how really anyone can say that Falcao is so much better than Lewandowski. Lewandowski ripped Real Madrid a new .. on his own. and Falcao misses big chances often too. Lewandowski is far far better for our play than Falcao. FAlcao depends on his players, while Lewa can create something on his own. his technique, his dribbling and his way of keeping the ball are not comparable to any other striker atm (maybe beside Ibrahimovic). Falcao is great, but Lewa is definetely better for me. And in terms of passing Lewa is much, much better than Falcao. Falcaos first touch at times is freaking horrible and his passing either. Technically I would say Lewa is much better than Falcao, while Falcao is more clinical at finishing. Now you have to decide what you want...either a more clinical striker, who needs players to set him up or someone who can hold the ball, get your players in position and even score goals (maybe not as much). In modern football surely the second type of striker- and also Mou wanted that type of striker in Rooney.

he would suit better than falcao and cavani. he is the perfect striker. ibra is too expensive and only short-term. but smh at people believing in this haha

only two played and arsenal has a much, much harder group than we have, so nothing special. @Barbara well, having a better balanced defense while dont creating ANYTHING isnt much better neither. maybe mata would have taken some pressure of the defense, by contributing more to attack and holding the ball better and spreading it? who knows? you say your argument, that Basel would take his non-existing defensive work-rate as a big advantage as if it is a fact...its just another thesis. maybe they would have, maybe not and we would have got better? I think Mata definetly would have been playing better than the players on the pitch and could have at least created something. I rather lose 1-0 or 2-0 while having chances on my own instead of being embarassed looking at the statistics afterwards...

yeah, frankfurt manager knows it because they have signed his player (rode) too. and surely a german bundesliga manager knows more than all of us in here, doesnt he? you dont get, dont you? BVB WANTED to sell Lewandowski to another club ALREADY in the SUMMER. but he didnt want to leave. he only wants to go to munich and he already made his decision. he will announce it in january. its Bayern Munich, I dont even know why this thread is still open. really everybody knows that he will join Bayern beside some deluded fans in here it seems. Why dont we open a thread "Messi to Chelsea FC"...?

frankfurts manager confirmed on sunday that lewandowski will join bayern. people still thinking we could get him ist just pure funny. like the whole last summer. but yeah, dream on

until the goal we was bad. after that clearly better, but west ham is awful. oscar MOTM so far.

its simple: we indeed did get what we wanted. mou is a simple counter-attacking coach. get used to it, that if we win this games, we'll win them through individual class and not by game patterns or moves or learned attacking schemes. the team has absolutely no clue how to attack, when we have the ball and the opponent is sitting deep. every chelsea fan in this freaking board was knowing that we lacked a creative DM, who can acutally build-up a play but Jose who was satisfied with his options- his fault. Mou is and probably never will be a coach for the long-term idea. he was talking alot of stuff, like getting in young players etc, changing the game. I cant see ANYTHING of it. just bla bla from Mou. futhermore, thanks to him, Hazard is playing s#it, Mata is playing s#it. so, not only we play as bad as under Benitez, but futhermore two of our best players look destroyed by Mourinho- especially Mata. hopefully we will be able to turn this around or otherwise, we should be happy with a Top 4 spot. we've been laughing at United with Moyes, but if they win tommorow, they'll be 1 point behind us. and that without a good midfield nor a great defense, nor a great coach. thats kinda embarassing. Mou should stop talking and start acting. you talk so much about meritocracy, well, then actually go by it. why is Ivanovic playing as a RB? why is Lampard playing? why is Oscar playing atm? So many questions. And I am afraid of the future. the pressure is immense. everybody thinks Mou will turn us into beasts...in fact, he hasnt got a clue what or how he wants us to play as it seems.

RDM is not a coach for a big team like we are. and benitez was just an interim, so he clearly didnt give a f about installing a offensive play. look how napoli is playing though...great football.
