Start

Any news on who we're fielding?

Been quite impressed by Mikel in the confeds. Would like to see him go forward to see us next yr, especially under a 433 system.

I'm still right then, you said 10 minutes. He came on in the 79th, that's 11 minutes. Plus added time. :eyebrows:

Agreed, most play coming from him and Chalbs from the back of midfield.

He's played more than 10 minutes, lol.

But he's been shit in what he's played...

Nath has probs been England's best midfielder in this tournament tbh, just the team as a whole has been shite.

Either 4231 or 433, I have a feeling Jose will play 433 (attacking) a lot, with Mata just behind whatever striker we have. Oscar will go deeper for sure this season I reckon. Oscar - Ramires Mata Hazard - ST - KDB ---------------------- Oscar - Ramires Hazard - Mata - KDB ST

I'll be keeping a close on on Josh and Nath in today's game, hoping Josh has a top game, since he's failed to perform in the tournament.

I'd take Rooney anyday tbh, what a player.

Rather us spend SILLY money on him than City, could be what separates us from the Mancheser bunch in the title race, especially with RVP not guaranteed to have the season he did last year, and the thought of City grabbing him instead of us scares a lot, him and Aguero. Just spend the money and bring him in Roman/Jose.

I like him tbh, he isn't great but like a few people said above he's a good squad player. And he's rather good at tracking back from the right side. Just needs to learn how to cross, since he had the worse cross conversion rate of any player in the league last year. (Well, I go told so anyways) And he's only young, time to develop into a better player next season. Especially under Jose.

I really want Josh to go on pre-season with us for sure, hope Jose can give him a kick and give him that confidence he has drastically lost. I agree with The only place to be above about him having the talent, he just needs to show it. And who better to show infront of than Jose Mourinho and the players that can improve him drastically, I'm sure if given the full pre-season, play in the majority of the games, him being with Mata, Hazard and Oscar will benefit his game a lot. No doubt in my mind that if he puts his head together there's a place for him at Chelsea.

Mark Schwarzer could be ideal, decent keeper and we'll need one. (have Blackman as the other) and Schwarzer, don't see why he wouldn't be interested fair enough he wants full first team football but we're offering the chance of the title, CL, FA & League cup, Supercup medals.

Don't know how the above mentioned Super Salomon Kalou, the amount of times he saved our arses coming off the bench.

I wouldn't mind him moving either, but I aren't jumping with joy over it. Every player has a few bad games a season, to me he's just a quiet player (till he tackles aggressively) who I don't really notice, a good thing? I aren't sure, but somebody has to start the ball from midfield either it be a simplistic pass or a switch from one side to the other. I can't see us using Romeu either, i'd rather see Chalbs given ago, Ake or even Cheek for the lower games of the season.

...A lad from Wales, few say he's up there with the best, others say he only has a couple of things to his game, I am sure once (and only if) he moves from Spurs, we'll see either the explosive up there with the best Welsh number 11, or just a 2-3 dimensional player that failed to prove himself in a much bigger side.

Few of you seem a bit too overjoyed about the thought of Mikel leaving, crazy. You're saying it like he's a terrible player :banghead: He's a decent player IMO and if he does leave I wish him all the best.

As good as Bale? It's not like he's far off, or if he's even off Bale's standard at all.

My expectations - Top 2 in the Premier League. Semi's of the Champions League. Win the FA Cup. Semi's of the League Cup. Win the UEFA Super Cup. With how Eden, Oscar and Mata performed this year next season they're only going to be better as individuals and as a trio. Jose at the helm, and if we bring in a consistent goal scorer to feed off the Mazcar trio's passes and crosses then there's no reason we can't hit my expectations.

Is it quite scary how much potential Eden actually has and how good he is already, the guy is still only 22! And him saying about scoring like Messi and Ronaldo isn't as ridiculous as a few people might think.

Cheers, and I will try. Don't worry.

Thanks mate Oh i'm sure I'll enjoy my stay round here, was about time I found a decent Chelsea forum instead of regular forums. (I come from http://thefantasista.com/index if anybody was wondering, I didn't appear from the blue ) Yeah, i'll be an active member for sure. Aren't the busy kinda guy at the moment.

Nath was good tonight against Italy, i'm looking forward to seeing him he does in the rest of the tournament. Same goes for McEachran (cept' he was shite tonight)

I'd rather have Lukaku than Dzeko tbf.
