Wrong priorities

[capriccioso 2,545]

Actually fuck it, you've really pissed me off - get a fucking grip it's JT, at least 2 more seasons in him!

Ah, yes. ENGLANDS BRAVE LION MR CHELSEA CAPTAIN LEADER LEGEND CAN DO NO WRONG, HE HAS 2, NO 52 IF HE WANTS, SEASONS LEFT IN HIM. The 'its JT he can do what he likes' argument makes as much sense as Tottenham fans' arguments last season when we requested to move the FA Cup tie. It consisted basically of "WE ARE TOTTENHAM SUPER TOTTENHAM FROM THE LANE FROM THE LANE WE ARE TOTTENHAM SUPER TOTTENHAM FROM THE LANE FROM THE LANE."

He has declined massively, and he will quickly turn into a liability a la Carragher in a year or so. We missed a huge trick by not getting shot of him for 40 million in 2010, that is an enormous sum for anyone, let alone a defender. 40 million pounds for a 29 year old centre back, we should have taken it then and there and lol'd all the way to the bank. We could have gotten Modric for that money. Or 4 great young centre backs. Anything we wanted really. That was before PSG turned up and made it harder to compete.

I agree with @Sheva, we said we were on the rebuilding mode and the UCL made that process a-hell-of-a-lot easier by 10 fold. but people are being picky and spilt. Last year all we heard: bosingwa, kalou, malouda, no striker (till drogba showed when it mattered) a real rw not studge on the wing, no skill, old. man all of that and we expect i to be fixed in one winfow?!

you dont go from 6th to first in one season, people say it but dont really mean it becuz they are hell bent when signings aren't what they want.

on the current squad i have never been fan of the 4231, but i dont think RDM will ever veer off that. if we play 433 then we will be fine, and a double pivot takes away what ramires can offer frommidfield. we need a 3 man midfiled, it has worked before and would definately work with the new found WINGERS in squad. thats what i've always believed but hopefully oscar can be that deep playmaker we want/need but if not we just have to be patient and wait till next window. Oscar signing is the key to our future troubles. wherever he plays his best the other position will be our need come next window.

[Henrique 9,133]

Our priority is to bench Mikel. DM imo is the most important position in midfield. Mikel is a DM from 15 years ago, all he can do is fouls, win some balls and mark. I've been saying it for years: Mikel is awful. I dont know how this guy is still around and now as a starting XI.

We also have work to do in the defence, I dont know how a RB is not a priority. In this window we basically bought Oscar and Hazard, the other guys are squad players. Both are attacking players, but imo our defence is where we have a lot of work to do.

We're not a selling club, so that was never even an option. Man-City's bid for Terry was more politically charged than anything. What a statement that would have been, 'Mr Chelsea', heart & soul of the club, the captain, a homegrown club legend. And for him to be sold to Man-City, a domestic rival who aim to cast a shadow over the Roman era at Chelsea. We made a £40m bid for Modric anyway, so clearly a high profile sale wasn't necessary.

[Spike 12,049]

I think our main priority should be getting back to basics. I reccomend scoring more goals than the opposition, but that is just my opinion.

[AndersonBLUE 819]

Sell Terry are you fucking serious LOL.

[Manuf 1,448]

Lol. We're not Real Madrid? So? Don't know if you remember but we are THE BEST TEAM IN EUROPE and maybe soon in the whole World so I give fuck all about a team from a league similar to SPL from previous season.

I guess Mikel had a lucky game, right?

[╫rue Blue 47]

and mikel show in wigan game

what he doing for the whole match ??

nothing meaningfull, for god sake

- he is slow

- hardly to make meaningfull pass

yes, we need midfielder play some safety pass, sometimes

BUT in mikel, what all i saw is he just can't

he didnt have skill and quick thought

what he can to do with the ball, than just pass it to CB or simple sideway pass

and sometimes

his passing is as badly as meireles

if meireles pass is sloppy and too rush

mikel passing is, sometimes looks hesitate and wrong decision

- mikel isnt player who can pressing opponent

- he can't marking opposition player movement

- sometimes he looks not even can covering the space/area in midfield, becasue his mobility very lacking

he like just there to fill position

[xPetrCechx 13,578]

Just attack and hold the ball.

Why are we not even looking at Sahin?

[Liquidator 5,176]

People can criticise Terry all they want and say he is in decline (which he is but he is still a very good defender) but we shouldn't forget that nobody, arguably in the history of the club, has put themself on the line week after week for the club like he has

[DYC. 7,542]

Why are we not even looking at Sahin?

It's weird isn't it? Available for a one year loan yet 0 links. I'm sure Mourinho would like to do his former club a favour while Sahin would love playing with the likes of Mata, Hazard and Oscar. And if he were to regain his Dortmund form, he'd be a starter for sure.

After a year, we get (a hopefully improved) De Bruyne back.

So because he has a great history we should keep playing him despite being bad?

Alright then, lets call back Zola!

Exactly, the main priority this season is playing better, having a better balance and getting back into that top 4.

The fact Sahin would only be here for a year and won't be able to play against Madrid should be the least of our worries.

Modric? Fuck off he's nothing compared to JT...

So he's declining, from World Class to just Class...

It's not just the work he does on the pitch it's in the dressing room etc - we always play better when he's around.

40 million is fuck all to Roman, I'm glad you're not in charge of the club we'd be fucking relegated!

What a stupid thing to say. I am not saying we should play him week in week out but he is still a good defender and still good enough to play in this team. Cahill and Luiz struggle to play together and it is likely that ivanovic will be playing right back more often with Bosingwa gone. Some people on this thread are like spoilt children saying how we need lots more signings. Yes we need one or two but you seem to think that as soon as Terry is in decline one of our best ever players should just be sold in an instant. He is still a good player but it looks like Terry is becoming a scapegoat figure because he is not as good as he once was

It was a power move from City, politically charged, nothing good could have come out of it for 'brand Chelsea'.

I don't think Terry should be sold, likewise Lampard.

Those two can continue to be good for quite some time.

But I don't agree that they should be playing every game when they are not as good before.

If they want to stay till they retire, they should follow the Schole, Giggs model.

[Tomo 21,751]

Terry never had any intention on going to City, he was using their interest as a bargaining chip in talks for a new contract.

AMEN... All this hate for JT is crazy, proved today he is still our most solid reliable defender... yes he doesn't have blistering pace, but i am a hell of a lot more confident with him in our defence than anyone else. And i am glad we told man city to fuck off when they offered 40 mil. Proves we have player loyalty, and JT is truly a LEGEND.
