End of an African era?

[Blue In Green 86]

Why don't we get more North American players?

...wait, I know the answer to that one...:unsure:

[Rambo 1,729]

Its not. Yesterdays game showed that. Machester with their colossal defense were humiliated by diminutive Messi...but some people keep talking about "power, stamina, agility, fighting." This four words means nothing if you don't have the right skills. Otherwise we could ask Usain Bolt or Lebron James to be our next player.

If used properly it could do very well, that's why we've been dominating Arsenal over the past couple seasons.

But aren't we lucky to have had the best of Didier - physique as impressive as any bodybuilder, skill as breathtaking as any artist.

Didier

[Henrique 9,133]

You said Brazilians sell more shirts than Africans. You haven't said who.

Henrique you are very close minded. Could it be because football is much more developed in Brazil?

Yes.

[eldo 868]

Yes.

Then think before you say something.

No.

Style of play also matters . At least it matters to Roman

He want the holy grail, thats the only thing he thinks about. By the way that should not be his job,

it should be the coach and the coach only who told Roman which player he wants.

No. Roman owns the club and should be allowed to asks the playing style he wants,

Obviously he hated the way we played under Carlo this season, and wants more attacking football - but i highly doubt the goal is to be like Barca.

[dave30 728]

i think the goal for him is to emulate Barcelona in every way ha ha

Did you like the way we played this season? Did anyone like it? I don't think so. We played 2nd division football with slow passing and no pace. There were only glimpses of what our team was able to do. No motivation, some mistakes, keeping in out of form players...is Roman supposed to let it continue?

It has long been established Roman Abramovich views the Champions League as a Holy Grail.

If the Russian truly believes Chelsea can play the Barcelona way purely by luring Pep Guardiola to Stamford Bridge, he is deluded.

I know, out of context http://www.teamtalk.com/news/2483/6958110/Fergie-fronts-up-to-challenge

[neel 257]

barca went 5 season without league and CL before reaching here. Roman has to hold patience. We can not play like barca overnight

i think he does wish for Chelsea to try to be like or play like their team or at least in their style

If we could start a British era, that would be great.

ps: the same goes for each EPL team.

So our African Era ends after the South African World Cup, now were building a Brazilian squad just in time for them to flourish for the next World Cup in Brazil? I see a pattern here
