Ed if a Falcao hasn't played a minute of Europa League this season would he allowed to play for us? My guess is no because he was registered with another team? Whereas if he wasn't registered he could have.

Walcott is a great option, i must admit. Obviously first and foremost due to being homegrown. On the other hand i think he's definitely an upgrade over Sturridge. If one replaces the other it's perfect.

2) Fellaini
3) As i see club's focus is on Falcao, not Cavani, then Falcao it is. Don't get me wrong, Falcao is a superstriker. I'd be delighted as all of us seing him in Blue.

Totally agree... Just hope he dont flop like Torres, as there will be a huge amount of pressure on him ... N at the end of the day he's only human!

Wheelycfc

Agree4 Disagree0

Im certain he wont flop. Torres was out of form when we got him

Agree4 Disagree0

An he'll be out of form when we sell him lol

BenCfcWxm

Agree1 Disagree1

The reason why Falcao wont flop is because his top attribute is based around finishing, finishing he has shown over 5 to 6 years in various leagues and competitions. He doesnt rely on having blistering pace unlike Torres did. If he comes to Chelsea he wont lose his finishing touch, class buy if it happens.

PB

Agree3 Disagree1

Chill guys, I agree with Wheely " he is only human" and any thing can happen. No one could have predicted what happened to Torres I mean even if he wasn't in fom when he signed for us no one could have seen him slump this bad , look Don't be to sure Falcao would be a success you might just jinx it yeah? This is football we are talking about,Let's hope we get him but if we don't it might be a blessing in disguise.

Out of the Leeds game:
Terry
Ramires
Cahill
Mikel
Sturridge
Romeu

This means the team we will have to put out is.

Cech
Azpilicueta-Ivanovic-Luiz-Cole
-------Lampard--Bertrand--------
Moses----------Mata-----Hazard
------------------Torres--------------

PR!

Believable1 Unbelievable6

Cech
azpilicueta ivanovic luiz bertrand
lampard oscar
moses marin piazon
torres

Mata, Hazard and cole need a rest. Not very defensive but i don't feel we will need a defensive mid, no disrespect to leeds

Jordan

18 Dec 2012 16:43:29
My team for the leeds game

Cech or Turnball
azpilcueta Ivanovic Cahill Bertrand
Luiz Mikel
Marin Oscar Piazon
Sturridge if fit if not Torres

I hope George Saville gets some game time aswell!

Peds

Believable5 Unbelievable2

Agree4 Disagree0

Cahill cant play either

Agree4 Disagree0

George Saville Love him .. would love to see Ake fill cahills spot tomorrow.

Agree1 Disagree1

Ooops is cahill suspended then?

I thought he'd be banned by fifa and not be affected by the fa within the domestic compettitions :P

Ake it is then!

ED002 Premier League club chairman have today agreed in principle for spending controls this is not FFP related but is all this about? {Ed002's Note - It is taking the concept of the FFP and applying it locally where clubs would expect to be fiscally responsible.}

According to Pipi Estrada a Spanish journalist Falcao is already signed for Chelsea....Any Idea Ed?

BlueFox {Ed002's Note - I assume Twitter or something - try sending him a message saying the transfer window is shut right now. I really do not have the time to deal with posts like this and will start cutting back responding to messages.}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Ive seen this too. been trying to post a link up but it wont let me........Try Pipi Estrada - Falcao in google and hopefully the link will come up. DJ

I doubt it is true. The article also says van persie will sign for real madrid

I know it was only reading , but I saw more from theo Walcott in 90 mins playing through the middle , than I've seen from Nando in the 2 years he's been with us. Movement , electric pace , finishing ability , holding ball up laying it off and getting in the box.
If there's any chance of getting theo in jan then I say sign the lad up.
It will give the 3 playing behind so much more space to play as teams won't be able to squeeze us up the pitch which gives us no room to play, as we'd have pace in theo to stick the ball over the top or down the channel for him to run on to.

Believable7 Unbelievable0

He would be a decent replacement for Sturridge.

ED have you been tld if we were actually scouting Gomis? {Ed002's Note - From the verb "To Scout"? It really does not work like that and I told you what I know.}

Do you guys think we can beat leeds? If we don't we won't win nothing this season. They will be up for it and we are really poor at the moment. I'm worried!

Believable2 Unbelievable3

So with a game played by us yet, you have completely given up on the FA Cup?

I think we will be fine against Leeds. They will try and bully us by being physical but I expect our class will prevail. I think we need Lampards experience and hopefully him and Rami can lift their level. Back 4 of Azpillicueta, Bran, Luiz, Bertrand should keep us solid at the back. Rami Lamps in the defensive mid roles, and give Hazard and Mata a rest by playing Moses Oscar Piazon in the attacking 3. Then FT up top, as we all know he loves to score against the weaker defences. Someone mentioned down the page this may not be the best game to give Marin his first 90 minutes and I agree. Could be too physical for him, and although the same could be argued for Piazon, I think he is less of a risk, with Marins recent injury problems.

Ramires is suspended to to accumulated yellows

Agree2 Disagree0

Does FT love to score against the waker defences? LoL N1... He can ONLY score against the weaker defences, he hasent scored against any strong and well orginized defensive team this season and that is prolly the main reason why we need a new forward. We cannot go into the big games with a forward that is unable to provide anything for the team cause the oppositions defenders actually know how to play.

Agree0 Disagree0

To be fair he put one in against arsenal when they had the best defensive record in the league.

If you miss him puzzled by all means take him to the liverpool page!

What's everyone's thoughts about possible line-ups for Wednesday? Mine would look something like this:
Cech
Azpilicueta Ivanovic Cahill Bertrand
Luiz Lampard
Marin Oscar Piazon
Torres

Believable1 Unbelievable2

There's a lot of players we will be without tomorrow but my team would be something like:
Turnbull
Cesar bran David bertrand
Rami lamps
Marin Oscar piazon
Torres

The fact that Cahill is suspended and terry is injured handcuffs your back line and then mikel being suspended while Romeu is hurt handcuffs your midfield.

Tk

Agree0 Disagree1

Cahill is banned, piazon nowhere near ready especially for this game. It's going to be tough and physical, tough game for Marin to start aswel, as bad as he was other day Moses to start as his got strength and needs to redeem himself
Mattm

Agree0 Disagree1

I hadn't realised that Cahill was banned. I'd move Luiz into defense and start Ramires. Mattm you say that Marin and Piazon aren't ready to play but who would you play instead. You only said that Moses should start which leaves one place left. I think both Mata and Hazard should be rested.

Agree0 Disagree0

Rami is suspended due to accumulated yellows.
