lionsden 4,689 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Ramires - donkey ? Donkeys are by definition slow . What Ramires lacks in passing ability he more than makes up with other parts of his game ,there are different aspects to football it is not just all about passing and Ramires speed ,stamina and abilty to win you back possession is a massive positive ,him and Matic supporting our three AM's would be brilliant going forward but a massive kick in the teeth to the people at the club who decided to let Matic go and prefer Mikel . Jose will have got this spot on once again if Matic is coming because make no mistake he will be coming to replace the real donkey at Chelsea. Donkeys are also by definition hard workers who are known for their stamina and endurance and not much else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterfall 893 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I lol at the suggestion that just because we are going to play Ramires and Matic in the middle, we are suddenly parking the bus. Funny thing is I couldn't even care less if we do park the bus as long as we get the result.I bet some people wish we kept Villas-Boas and not replace him with Di Matteo who won us the CL because they are more concerned with the style of the play.

Phil Driver 503 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Donkeys are also by definition hard workers who are only known for their stamina and endurance. And by definition thay are very slow ,so your definition is by definition very wrong . There is only one donkey at Chelsea and that is the one who Matic will replace if this is true.

Stamina, hardwork and endurance is what the term "donkey" is used for in footballing circuit. everyone knows this so no need to be pedantic.

AndersonBLUE 819 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 This would be great. Who cares if he was an ex-chelsea man, that makes it all the better. He has vastly improved since his time here and has gained valuable experience. For £20million, which we could get with the sale from KDB, it's brilliant. It's a vast improvement to our pivot. It could really help us with a push for some silverware this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope a Donkey is someone who is very slow and not very good . Never heard of a fast donkey or seen one and certainly not one as fast as Ramires , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a sarcastic sally here. How about we mock every opinion with a sarcastic diatribe? How dare they hold different values. The nerve of them. God forbid someone simply states their opinion without fear of needless reprisal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 It's a problem for me because football is just as much about entertainment as it's about winning for me. if you are only interested in the end result then carry on.Well I'm sorry, but if you can't find enjoyment in watching the likes of Hazard, Willian and Oscar then I don't know what I can say. To me football is about the contest, about the tactics not just about sticking 10 Matas out on the pitch and seeing a 5-4 scoreline. There's great beauty in seeing a side execute a gameplan where they soak up pressure and then hit teams on the counter, like we do.I was entertained by us beating Man City and Liverpool at home, but I was also thrilled with the way we played against Arsenal despite some people accusing us of parking the bus (when we actually created more chances).It just looks like you're looking for something to moan about, a bit like those moaning about the game yesterday especially this one called lionsd......oh wait.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 It's a problem for me because football is just as much about entertainment as it's about winning for me. if you are only interested in the end result then carry on.I see your point, but entertainment doesn't always equate to winning. If winning isn't important, then why do we keep the score? "Playing the best football in the league" is a consolation title that doesn't compare to FA Cups, Champions League and league titles that are won regardless of the type of football, provided the result is in the bag. You get the same amount of points for winning 1-0 as you do 8-0. But I won't lie to you - I'm a goalkeeper - I prefer winning a game 1-0 than 5-4, and I always will.

But there as to be a balance though. the lack of balance and overly negative approach against the big teams all the time is what bothers me the most. i have seen the likes of Dortmund, Bayern, madrid et al take a pragmatic approach in some games when they are under heavy pressure from the opposition, they would sometimes sit back and soak the pressure for a couple of minutes during certain games but they never set out to just put 10 men behind the ball in any match. that's small club mentality.It's absolutely possible and has been proven time and again that success can be achieved while playing entertaining football.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 We need someone more dynamic than Mikel, forget 3 and 4 nil wins we need to become a unit.If Jose has identified Matic as that man who can do it, who the fuck are we to argue.Jose's happy, Iam.
