I couldn't bear to watch the Drogba pen, live especially after Moscow. I faced away from the screen when that kick was taken and boy, it couldn't get better than that. Perpetual joy for a true blue. Couldn't remember the rest of the night due to alcohol induced amnesia.
Lamps could be easily be a squad player next season. Not sure about Essien staying with us though. Also with Khedira out, we won't have a chance with Xabi Alonso as well.
He did say some time back that he's willing to come out of retirement and play for his country put the old pricks in the FA are too proud to call him up. #bunchoftwats
I'd like to see someone like Alonso as the short- term solution but we definitely need a world class CM next summer. Witsel, Gundogan, Pogba fits the bill perfectly.
Can't believe Cech's season is being compared to Hart's. That is just ridiculous. Agreed, he hasn't been in his best of form but Hart's having a fucking nightmare of a season especially in the WC year. And 'goalkeeper crisis'??? That is just bollocks. We don't have a steady performing LB, our first choice RB can't cross the ball, we have a leaky defense with our CB making tons of mistakes, our pivot sucks and Jose hasn't found him best attacking trio yet and our strikers are not prolific enough and yet we are in a goalkeeping crisis.... We have a truly world-class goalkeeper with all the experience in the world and a young lad who is even better. There is no reason to give him so much stick just cause the team is performing badly as a whole.
If Courtois signs the new contract which he said he'll only consider after the WC, i'd keep Cech on for another year and loan out Courtois. If Courtois feels he need the first team football at Chelsea or he'll refuse the new deal, then i'll be willing to make Cech our No.2. Cech hasn't been anything close to bad this season anyways and we wouldn't have even been making this discussions if we didn't have Courtois. The decision's up to the Belgian.
