I would have added Kalas into that group but he has obvioisly gone out on loan. Lol. What would you suggest? I would be reluctant to buy as we already have fantastic young defenders. (Kalas, Ake, Zouma and Omerou) and buying a proven, £100,000 a week player will just block their path.

A season long loan at West Ham would be fantastic. A season of Premier League football under his belt will do wonders for his development and experience. Definately hope this happens. With West Ham or any other Premier League club for that matter.

Even worse than Lucas Neill choosing West Ham over Liverpool? The decision by Sanchez might not be the greatest but to be fair to Arsenal they have pulled off one hell of a coo attracting this fella.

Fantastic signing for Arsenal. They will definately be stronger for that.

You cannot expect to run away with the title in this league. It just doesn't happen. Look how tight the league was last year. Do you honestly think we have moved that far forward and everybody backwards in one summer? I don't think so. It will be tighter than ever IMO. I think we have a fantastic chance though. We have improved in crucial areas. We have a striker (finally!!) Fabregas (who i believe we have bought to partner Matic) with his vision and creativity adds something we have not had in the centre of our midfield. And a world class goalkeeper. This makes us favourites IMO. My expectation is to win the league. I am quietly confident we will do that. Any cups would be an added bonus. Having said that if we don't win anything again then calls for Jose to go are ludicrous. We are still rebuilding our team here. It is a slow process, one that needs time. I'm not saying we require another 'transitianal' season. We are almost there. Stay patient. But with what we have and can do. It could be a memorable season.

Why no Cahill?

I really hope he gets his opportunity with us this season. No loans. Give him his chance and watch him fly.

I have never heard of this guy before.... can anyone shed some light as to what type of player he is etc. I apologise for my ignorance.

Fantastic performance tonight to match his one against Algeria. Has to start for us next season.

:tophat:

Is there an award for best returning member??

That Liverpool kit is fucking hideous!! The United kit is laughable. The 'chevrolet' may be one of the tackiest things i have ever seen on a football kit. Disgusting!

Tbh we don't necessarily need 8 defenders. With Iva and Azpi able to play in two different positions i can see 6 being fine. JT, Cahill, Iva, Azpi, Luis (assuming he signs) and one of Zouma or Omerou.

Shall we leave that one with you

Finally got round to watching this. Very impressed. In recent seasons the club have got very sloppy in making these. They seemed to have been rushed out without much thought. Just the goals of the games and nothing else. Much better this year. I agree the actual match commentary is far better the the usual Chelsea TV. I like they are actual highlights (near misses etc) rather than just goals. Post match reaction unlike recent reviews and the in season snippets of interviews i also really like. All in all a fantastic review. Much improved on the last 3/4 seasons. One of my favourites :-)

I hope that is the case. All we seem to do with our younger guys is loan them until they reach 22/23 then sell them on. So, so frustrating.

Serious question - will he ever get a chance to prove it at Chelsea? Because i can see him being the same old story.

Now that would be fucking fantastic!!

Sepp Blatter is a cunt.... 'nuff said.

:woo:

Bye Ash.... thanks for everything
