You expect Jose to win it all & may I ask when ?

i expect PL specially looking at the way other teams (city mostly) are playing. right now, our squad is only 2nd to city in PL but our manager is a 100 times better. he just earned us 3 points. on the other hand, pellegrini started with richards and clichy (out for 4 months and 1 month respectively), with navas and nasri on the wings against the best side in europe.

carling and FA cup - are very arbit and hard to predict but i do expect jose to go for one of them.

CL- dont think we have it in us to win it this year. maybe semis. barca, bayern, psg, rm, bvb are definitely better teams. but in a year or 2 with a WC ST and CDM, we will be there.

I wasn't serious when I said it but,

He is a very good finisher. The best goals to shot ratio in spain so far. (Better than messi)

He has almost dider drogba's strength and is faster.

He can dribble(obviously as a brazilian )

But he is a cunt though.

Overall he is better than torres, we could get rid of him to his homeland.

I just have this gut feeling that strikers that are "hustlers"(aguero, drogba, tevez, cavani, falcao, diego costa) are suited for chelsea than any other type of timid strikers.

that is true. specially with the kind of "small" AMs we have got, we need a physical presence.

but u know, in a year or two, lukaku will have almost all the attributes u just described for costa. i feel what we need now is rooney/ibra/tevez. "hustlers" (as u said) but WC finishers, who the defenders are scared to go up against.

Personally, maybe you have noticed, I do not care much about FA or Crawling Cups.

My priority is CL. The only true club competition & still the best.

Then, PL could be at Chelsea again. By the end of December, I might be able to tell whether Chelsea are capable of winning it this season.

Quite a few German internationals are playing for the london clubs.Now is the best time to attract some german talent.

Fuck we should sign Benatia for 15mio absolute steal, right now best cb in italy and still 26. I said we should sign him when he was still at udinese, but now his price will go skyhigh if roma wins serie a.

[quickpassnmove 924]

I agree on Benatia for quality. I'm trying to watch Lovren too. When I went to the Roma Chelsea pre-season match, I was struck by Benatia and Castan as a duo. they were easily the most impressive players on that pitch, but I am still surprised by how well they've begun their season in Italy.

Chelsea will likely keep on scouting for players with lower wages, but in terms of getting some dominant center midfielders with high level experience, things might be a little trickier.

I think michu would be a good shout, he is young, fast, good striking instincts, we have spent money on worse, think he would be a good addition

[mac.bo 48]

i feel next year, we will get back on some of the investments we have made.

marin - sold

moses - sold (or one of the current 6 AMs who are better than moses)

kakuta - sold.

ba - sold

mikel - sold (?)

torres- sold.

lamps - retires/free agent

essien - free agent

etoo - free agent

with the wages and the money generated by these transfers we can easily buy a high profile ST and CDM and bring back players like lukaku, josh and romeu. [/quote

Think Torres/Mikel will stay,Essien has another year so he will probly hang around,agree with others tho Moses looks a better bet than Schurrle,Cole might also be released leaving Bertrand/Pvh so a world class Cm/Striker for me to join Lukaku/Challabah

Every 1 man and his dog called spot can see Chelsea have needed a new Frank Lampard/Essien type of central midfielder the last few seasons and yet(dont know how good Van.ginkel/Romeou will end up?)we still go out and buy positions that we are overstocked in.We need a world class midfielder now ,not in 2-3 years time when probly we will overstocked in that position with the young chelsea talent breaking through,come on Cfc backroom staff do your homework and get your head out of your ass.We will keep on struggling to really control games without this type of player and kick on a rule the world.

as someone who loves all-round center midfielders in the world of football, after having chosen Chelsea as "my team" with Didier Drogba in 2005, I have to say that Makelele, Ballack, and Ramires are the only center midfielders I've really liked at Chelsea since that year. Essien was good at one time, but perhaps got run into the ground--I hope this never happens to Ramires, who has, IMO, taken Chelsea on his back since Drogba left (and even prior).

People might express the view that getting top players in your side can be difficult, but --really-- how difficult is it to see the opportunities? Juve do it constantly and are fully-stocked, PLUS their youth and young acquisitions. I have been in the "get your head out of your ass, Chelsea!" crowd for years now, so I know how you feel. thankfully, Chelsea HAVE gotten winger options after having only Malouda (I was not a fan of Joe Cole) for some time after Robben.

We don't need him. He scored tons of goals last season but he does not suit our style and he is not an out and out centre forward. A no go for us.

Yes, why would we want someone who scores lots of goals when we have the three stooges of strikers who can't get a goal between them. You are right why would we want that, hahahaha

Juventus president Agnelli admitted the club would have to accept offers for Paul Pogba.

Now sure of his value, but definitely gonna be a great addition.

Agnelli is an idiot.

[Pizy 18,417]

Wouldn't at all be surprised if City now made a move for him. They'd be getting a super talented kid and get to rub it in United's face at the same time.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Pogba- strong, can spray long passes, can tackle, high stamina, would make manutd fans cry

Sign him
