lionsden 4,689 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 On reflection. I'm beginning to think lack of creative players is responsible for our continuous shambolic display. when you see teams like Blackpool,Swansea and Lorient et al who have comparably lesser quality players than Chelsea and their combined squad value is a fraction of ours, play some wonderful, attacking football that makes our senior team look like a semi-professional team. then you begin to wonder why we play so poorly when we have better quality players than these teams. The problem I feel lies with the culture at the club which has been embedded in most of our players as we have always relied on Drogba's physical dominance in the final third and now that the Ivorian has faded, we have been forced to change our style of play which most of the players aren't used to. until our players grasps the concept of "appreciation of space" "timing" and "quick transition", we will continue to struggle to play well- create chances and dominate games . for example if we buy a Luka Modric, I doubt his addition would change anything as the lack of movement from our strikers and wingers in the final third would render most of his passes ineffective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeB 1,281 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I see that the club ants to try and bring the best youngsters to the club that is possible - with Lukaku touted as the next Drogba, doesn't neccasarily mean that is the sole reason why we are after him. He has stated previous times that he would love to plays for us, is it so bad to have a player want to play for us because of the love of the club rather then the high amount of wages?And i think the philsophy that the board takes is bring in any players that have been praised by the mdeia or who have a reputation to be a world beater/worl-dlcass player. I think if we want any more down-to-Earth players to the club, it would have to be AVB's reccomendation, rather then the club shooting in the dark.The main reason why he loves Chelsea is Drogba, it's like Kakuta, he said he loves the club because he used to play with Lampard & Terry on the playstation I think it's not the best way to improve the squad, Lukaku would have the pressure of the comparison all the time and we have no guarantee he would be better at 25 or 26 than now.

Hamilton 2,120 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Genk won the Belgian supercup with 1-0 against Standard Liege. Tozser scored with a beautiful free kick just before half time. De Bruyne was subbed 88th min. Not his best game, but that could be said about all 23 on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeB 1,281 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 He has already score a great goal like that after a corner kick during the season, I remember the video.I think he would be the perfect signing, versatile and very intelligent in the game with his diagonal balls or through passes, also great shot...

rantdeville 195 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 ^^ damn. Considering he'd def challenge for a spot above kalou and malouda. I'm also putting together that the lukaku and de bruyne transfers r somehow mutually inclusive, considering anderlecht wanted Chelsea to loan de bruyne to them AFTER we purchased him, and Genk stipulated that if we bought de bruyne, he could not be loaned to another Belgian club (i.e. Anderlecht). Maybe Chelsea has reached a bit of an impasse..? Or am I just reiterating common knowledge haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
