Stop overpaying for donkeys like Sterling, Mangala, Depay, Schneiderlin and everything goes back to normal. Fucking foreign clubs if they want to rip English clubs off then they should fuck right off and sell elsewhere for peanuts. Fucking small time wankers. Such a top top observation. I recently noticed the same. But for the case of Bayern, the CEO Rummenigge breaks Fifa protocol evey time, and talks to the players beforehand to force the move. Its why Bayern were able to swoop in and close the deal with Renati Sanches in 3 weeks even though Man U were negotiating for the kid for like the past year! This guy on twitter explained it perfectly two days ago. *Also, there's a lot of envy towards the PL and all the revenues that it generates. Teams like Swansea, West Ham, and Tottenham have leapfrogged all the other mid-table teams across Europe in terms of capital prowess. Get this, Swansea were able to sign Andre Ayew from OM in large part because they gave him a signing bonus of £70K. And those clubs I mentioned are lining up offer in the region of £30M for Ligue 1 strikers Batshuayi and Lacazette. Insane! Throw in the fact that the EPL doesn't know how to turn all that money into proper football in the European competitions, And it's understanble to see the hate that is geared towards English clubs. Whether I believe that's right or wrong doesn't matter, but I can definitley understand the contempt that mainland Europe has towards BPL.

!Hazard! 3,394 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Looking at the Saints game simultaneously with our game against The Champions, one player stands out from the Saints. Virgil Van Dijk. Solid, solid defender with technical abilities, strength, speed and apparently he even takes the free kicks nowadays. Possible target in the summer?

Blue_Fox_ 2,086 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Now that the season from hell is over: Loudmouth (Bego) Azpi-New CB-Zouma-New LB (Iva)-(JCS/Tomori)-(Terry)-(Aké) Willian-Fabregas-New CDM/B2B-Hazard (Pedro)-(RLC)-(Matic)-(Kenedy) Diego-New ST (Traoré)-(Tammy) Think it's reasonable.Get it done as soon as possible.

Dont think it would work at all. Higuain benefits from quick passing at Napoli, Hazard and Willian stay on the ball too long. Lacazette would be alot better if you ask me. If we play with two strikers, we should definately go for another creative AM, someone to supply them with balls. Willian distribution is still poor, Fabregas gets pressed easily, Hazard is more of a dribbler and all fullbacks we currently have are quite terrible in offense. Ake had good season, but IMO is just example of grass is greener for now. No doubt he is good player, but he wont simply start for Chelsea right away. Either Baba or Ake plus experienced LB. And think Azpi should just stay in LB, he defends much better there. It could be that he just needs to adjust to right side again. And can people stop with Cesc as our captain? I know he is one of ''realistic'' options, but I would prefer a captain that is physicaly more imposing and doesnt hide in big games.

Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Piotr Zieliński will move to Liverpool in the next few days ! He is by far my favourite Polish player, he is such a rare breed, absolute wonderful touch and vision, truly wonderful football brain, how the hell these players are not appreciated more ? Even in the national team he is preferred behind of some donkeys who are bigger and tougher but certainly not smarter. I think this move is too soon though and feel that may end like many before who moved too soon and looked completely out of place like Markovic for example. Here is hoping that Klopp will do his touch on another Polish player and make him one of the best in his position. But I'm a bit scaried but also excited. If Zieliński will play in central area and cope there, in the Premier League, with his frame, that would be some achievement. Also it probably ends Liverpool chances of getting Goetze so maybe Chelsea have a chance of landing him ? Last Sicarius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen that Stuttgart got relegated and thought about asking this. The way my friend talked to me about this three players in particular made me think they must be really good. Kostic is one of the better players in the Bundesliga in his position, your mate has got a point there, however, i wouldn't buy him. Sure on his day Kostic can be the decisive factor, but 2,3 good matches from him in a row are enough for him to start talking about the Europa. A lot of games, especially when it's not going as planned (take a look at the last couple of weeks) the boy goes hiding. Yeah, he's talented, but a bit one dimensional (does next to nothing with his right foot), he's pacey, runs away with the ball, a bit like Robben, always doing the same, but not that good, his crossings are the worst, nonetheless the boy is fit! More than once Chelsea decided to buy a new talented attacking winger, we've already got the likes of Kenedy and Musonda. No matter how much slack the likes of Pedro or Cuadrado (Juve) had to take, i can't see how Kostic would be the better player. If and only if Chelsea are looking for a new toy on the wing, talented and not too expensive, Julian Brandt from Leverkusen has the higher ceiling, imo. For some guys Pato was a high risk and high reward signing, in my point of view Fekir fits the bill nicely, but we've already got the talents in this position, only buy a top class guy, someone like Sanchez and concentrate on developing Kenedy and Musonda. But with Roman, you'll never know... More or less the same goes for Werner. He's fast, but his decision making and his touches, i much rather have Traoré around. On the plus side, he's young and already playing in the Bundesliga, but please stay away! Ordinary player, nothing special, nothing for Chelsea, imo. But he's is still earning more than me these days, so i've gotta give respect where it's due! Rupp seems like a top lad, interesting player. Could marvel here if the system's right, i think he would be cheap. Cheaper than the aformentioned guys. He doesn't have the top name, first season in Stuttgart, reminds me a bit of Papy, but if Conte wants him, why not?! The boy can play in the pivot.
