Guest justin_3d Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 "as announced yesterday by the French and Italian press" They are just reporting what Sky Italia started yesterday. Oh did not noticed that. Just went by the headlines. :unsure:But even then, for Italian press, french press to be reporting that, and turn out to be fake.....

MetsajCFC 1,255 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 One of which won't even be playing for us for 2 years!And one who'll have to replace Essien, who is injured for half a year again... we're back to nothing if you think about it in terms of additions to the squad.

Term-X 7,891 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 16 days until the premier league season kicks off, and we have the exact same squad as last season, minus Essien.Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadavTKL 1,787 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Right now we are weaker than we were last season(with our squad). Its not that hard to figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest justin_3d Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 16 days until the premier league season kicks off, and we have the exact same squad as last season, minus Essien.Sigh.But yeah Chelsea improve last season with Torres and David Luiz...and that's even with out Torres doing much of nothing.If he gets going this season, then it might not be bad, with Yossi back in the team, Josh getting more action and as well for Kakuta getting chances.If Josh and Kakuta don't get chances, and Torres still sucking mid way then i will get worried.

MetsajCFC 1,255 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 <br>The exact same squad that finished level on points with a Man City side last season, minus Aguero.<br><br>Sigh.<br><br><br>Not just Agüero, also Clichy and Savic. Mancini said they want 2 more - I'm guessing Nasri and someone else. Barca bought Sanchez (God save us all now), RM bought Altintop, Sahin, Coentrao etc, United bought Young, Jones, De Gae, Liverpool bought Doni, Downing, Adams etc. Arsenal believed to sign Mata and Jagielka and we're still doing nothing in terms of IMPROVING the squad. I like the thought of giving Josh and Kakuta more playing time but please be realistic, they are NOT game changers yet. We'd go down the same old story for third season, moan and read about the articles of "Abramovic's plans to totally revamp the squad with his £100m warchests" and in the end we just fire a manager, get new one in, sit around, go on a pre-season, talk the right things but do absolutely nothing till we get our asses kicked in January, panic buy (thats a big maybe) or just wait till June to fire another manager. We need (and thats an understatement) changes in the squad, just bit more than 2 weeks to go till new season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. 2,742 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 lets be honest guys and girls if we dont sign players thats can improve our current squad and not go stright out on loan i really cant see this season being a good one with both manchester clubs buying good players already LIverpool getting a good squad and Arsenal reportedly going to splah the cash aswell, AVB chelsea board whoever buys players does the deal whatever pull your finger out and do someting otherwise Euorpa Leauge here we come (we might win that tho lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Drog 1,110 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'm not one for pessimism but it's bleak we haven't actually improved a squad that finished with the lowest point total since roman arrived and our rivals have significantly improved how can anybody be optimistic about that. Those are the facts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 where is problem ? In all fairness, I don't see much of a problem! I believe Mikel and Ramires combined can have enough strength as Essien has in midfield! Ramires has the speed, while Mikel has the defensive capabilities. What annoys me, is the fact we have no playmaker, and people who believe Benayoun is the answer to our problems in the long run... he bloody well isn't! Just look at his age! Furthermore, he's hardly played any games for us because he's been injured the whole time he's been here.Looking at the Pastore situation at the moment, I think it's optimistic that we will sign him now. From some of the articles that are coming out from Italy and France, it sounds like PSG have a real stronghold, and it's our bloody fault that we haven't capitalised on it. Instead, Ron Gourlay and Bruce Fuck have been with the team in Asia soaking up some sun! On the other hand, Ray Wilkins said recently, Chelsea could save themselves shitloads of money if they allow the opportunities that Josh McEachran deserves.Otherwise, I'm expecting a £30+ million bid for Modric after the Asia Tournament!

manpe 10,861 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'm starting to think that maybe AVB sees a problem, but he's been told that there are no funds available for big money signings anymore after Torres and Luiz. I don't think he'd go public with it, hence the "good enough squad" talk. I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,442 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 16 days until the premier league season kicks off, and we have the exact same squad as last season, minus Essien.Not exactly. This time our youngsters will actually have a role in team as opposed to cameo appearances like last season.. This might not seem encouraging, but it's definitely a step forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadavTKL 1,787 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 The thing is that even one player, one signing can change it all... its so frustrating our board and AVB cant do, or even worse dont want to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
