Falcao has signed a new deal with Porto. How embarassing, a player that wanted to join us and we wanted him, chose to stay with Porto, while we dragged our heels, yet again. New manager and backroom staff, same old useless transfer policy.

Spot on. If I were Roman I would start sacking people.

Haha yeah so much for waiting till the end of the Copa America

What a bunch of whingers. Is this your first experience with a summer transfer window? You realise that it's open until the end of August? Very few impact trasfers have taken place so far, and the players like Falcao probabl never had any intention of coming to Chelsea. All he had to say was "come get me Andre" and he got a nice new deal.

The fans are concerned for a reason, radical changes have to be made at Chelsea, Lampard, Malouda, Kalou ect ect, all cannot be first team players next season, they simply arent good enough anymore. If radical changes are to be made then the sooner the better as the new players need atleast a couple of games with there new team before the PL starts.

I realise that. Do you also realise that it is July 15th and the window closes in another 6 weeks or so? Take you valium and chill out. Huge transfers always take until the 11th hour. Like I said, you're acting like this is your first experience...

For the record, nothing would please me more than to see the as**s of Malouda and Kalou walking out the door, but I also know that there has to be interest in them from other teams. Other than small rumours about Kalou, teams aren't braking down the door for those 2 clowns. {Ed046's Note -

Let me get this straight: Chelsea want to win the league and champions league next year. But they don't want to spend £40m? Am I missing something? Look around. All the contenders are spending big.

There is no point spending £40 million on a player that is not worth that much.

We lack focus and aspiration If we want a player we go and get him like we did for Torres. We want a player because he will will bring in the winning factor.

I agree, Chelsea could of quite easily signed Aguero before the copa americabegan by simply agreeing to his wage demands. The guys a great footballer so he should be paid well for it anyway.

"simply agreeing to his wage demands."

Right, £200K a week. That would go over well with the rest of the squad...

Regards the rest of the squad, on last seasons performance very few deserved to be paid what they earn. Aguero is class bite the bullet and give him what he wants.

"like we did for Torres." that was 50mil wasted, and you think we should do it again? clown

Regarding Torres, that's a bit harsh to say that it was money wasted. Give him a chance this season. He came from a completely different system at Pooh. He came to a Chelsea group of fragile ego's and greedy muppets like Malouda who refused to pass him the ball.

At least Torres has Prem. experience with which he coped quite well until last season. Atletico's few CL matches against English sides isn't proof that Aguero can handle a whole season - especially with wage demands upwards of £200K

Listen person Torres had f*** all service last season. He will come good you mug.

IT FRUSTRATES ME SO MUCH WHEN OUR SO CALLED 'FANS' RIP AND GOAD TORRES. DO THEY NOT LOOK AT THE WHOLE TEAM AND PICTURE? HE RECEIVED ZERO SERVICE LAST SEASON TORRES CAN'T ALWAYS DO IT ON HIS OWN HE NEEDS THROUGH BALLS, CUT BACKS, TOP CLASS CROSSES GIVE HIM THIS AND YOU WILL BE EATING YOUR WORDS YOU IMPATIENT CLUELESS CLOWN. AND YER I SAY GIVE AGUERO WHAT HE'S ASKING FOR, THE OTHER PLAYERS SHOULD'NT CARE TO MUCH IF WHAT THEY SAY IS TRUE ABOUT NONE OF THEM HAVING BIG EGO'S. IT'S NOT ABOUT THE PLAYERS IT'S ABOUT CHELSEA FOOTBALL CLUB

You're right, it's about Chelsea - not the players.

But be honest - a handful of players were only concerned about their own self-interests last season? Malouda and Kalou are good examples of ego and "me first" mentality. If they had more concern for the "team", we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

I think Drogba secretly still has a massive ego.

Are you serious? We lost Falcao because we couldn't guarrantee first team selection? Who is responsible for our transfers? Postman Pat?

My source tells me it is in fact fireman sam.

Were they supposed to lie to him then just to get him to the club?

There is no way that you can guarantee any player automatic selection when they are coming to a club like Chelsea. Unless of course they are of Messi's standard, which Falcao is not.

Well, with Anelka, Kalou and possibly Sturridge out is the invisible man going to be automatically selected?

Yeah, I really don't understand why some people automatically believe that if we get another forward we're going to keep all of the existing ones.

If we buy another striker, I'm sure that at least one on our roster is leaving.

Nobody said that if we got another forward that all the rest would stay.

I believe that we don't need anymore strikers. I just feel we need a couple of wingers and a creative midfielder to feed the strikers that we have.

"Nobody said that if we got another forward that all the rest would stay."

Well, not being guaranteed first team selection kind of infers that there are more than just a couple of players who play in Falcao's position. He must have felt that he would be competing with Malouda, Kalou, Anelka, and Sturridge (let alone Torres and Drogba). He's not the only person who feels that Chelsea will be dumb enough to keep most of this impotent lot

all chelsea targets seem to be going in different directions look at this list below

neymar=santos/madrid
pastore-claims hes not leaving Italy
Augero=claims he wants to leave and there are loads of top clubs after him plus alethico owners claim hes not for sale.
Falcao=Interst seems to have gone done in him I dont know why

these players are only a few examples and this is the only one that looks to be heading our way Modric

Modric handed in a transfer request claims Chelsea is his dream team brillant player problem is the chairman Levy and the lub owners say hes not for sale

now look at other teams so far that have left and signed for other team like utd

David Da Gae=utd
young=utd
phil jones=utd
and now yes it is offical that sneijder has also joined them

look point is they are signing top p;ayers and we are sitting on our hole and not doing a dam thing yet we need new player get rid of the old and bring in young hard working players
and now essien injured for 6 months god knows he will be greatly missed

Official that sneijder has joined united? Since when?

Hes joined utd official yes today for 35.2m and has been givenscholes shirt number 18

I agree with the post you have at the top bar the sneijder situtation hes not moving to united calims Ferguson. Ferguson has said that United have no interest in signing sneijder. I do agree about our targets and that its taking its dam time and that other clubs have gotten a load of players already

(ace05)

Ashley young got then number 18

"Hes joined utd official yes today for 35.2m and has been givenscholes shirt number 18"

You really should provide links with a statement like that - and I don't mean the Daily Mail or Goal.com. Nowhere on the sane part of the internet is it reported that he's a Man Utd player.

why don t u like modric he is a fantastic player he would fot in perfectly i would pay lots of money on him and also he basically is totenham him and bale so we have to get him

14 Jul 2011 15:33:14
sneijder deal to mu almost done...just wages left to negotiate..i kno the club is carefully screening all the options but i cant help feel that man u have left us in their wake and it will take something really extraordinary to outdo them now....bt still hopeful...in AVB we trust(and in Roman too)

I realise that ol' red nose has a penchant for mind games, but he's publicly stated that there is no Sneijder deal in place. Could still happen, but trusting the tabloids is never a smart thing.

Anyone know how much playing time Daniel Sturridge may get next year?

Are you serious? That's like asking if Chelsea is going to go unbeaten next season. Not even AVB can answer that question.

478 minutes i reckon

I'm hoping alot, i think he and torres could form a pretty good partnership, but he could end up going on loan again, it all depends on what villas-boas thinks of him.

Right now, the only good partnership for Torres seems to be Anelka, as much as some supporters hate to admit.
