Where is the Nigerian defender we signed, and how is he doing?

Wasn't he only 14? I can't imagine he is getting any game time in the U21's, so you may need to wait a while before you can find out about his progress.

Melbourne CFC

Nkumu?

He's on loan at some dutch team doing very good.

peds

The Dutch team is ADO Den Haag, if he means Kenneth Omeruo.

yes melbourne, i read the sun,working class newspaper covering a working class sport,problem with that ?or is it below you einstein cfc,


common as muck rayzor

I get the feeling this isn't rayzor, but anyway, myproblem with the Sun stems from the Hillsborough disaster. That and they report utter rubbish. Didn't mean to offend you mate, although like I said, I very much doubt this is rayzor.

Melbourne CFC

I think he means its usually full of BS, I don't think he was insulting you or being classist in any way...

Roweycfc

I read the sun for the sport, and I read it with a pinch of salt, its quick its consice, and if they report some outragous story makes me laugh, but truth is they often speak truth because they get quotes and its from press confrences, like RDM maybe dropping Torres!
Tom {Ed001's Note - they often speak the truth? You sure you don't just look at page 3? Only one thing that rag is not known for, is speaking the truth.}

Evening Melbourne ,no offence taken,
(reply not mine ) good shout pr on the team tonight, fancy a draw and would take that now.

hello ed,

will there be a possibility of 2 strikers being purchased in the January window ... i feel so because there a possibility of Dan Stu being sold if an offer comes in ...
also with Torres likely to be sold soooner rather than later ... are we looking for 2 strikers in the Jan window ?

Derek

Hello Ed,

JANUARY xfer window - 2 Strikers Possible ?
with Torres or Daniel goin out

What do you think

Derek {Ed002's Note - Lots of things are possible Derek. Cheslea want to recruit two strikers but will not be forced in to buying if the players the club wants are not available.}

Hey Ed002,

i hear ya

we shall wait and see how the Jan 2013 window unfolds

Thnx

Derek

Anybody knows what really happened to bertrand traore?

taby

He was never gunna make it at chelsea

He looked as a really good prospect for Chelsea in a few years, but i am starting to have my doubts about if he wil be good enough. {Ed002's Note - There was a problem over international clearance for him and I am not sure the current status.}

Guardiola - Agree ?
Di Matteo - Disagree ?
Just wondering other fans' view.

RDM all the way but he must learn from his mistakes and relise luiz is a disaster waiting to happen every game and torres needs to be bombed out of the club as quick as possible with falcao coming in!

Hey Ed & readers. Does anyone know the defensive contribution of Marko Marin and how good he is at it compared to Hazard and Mata?

Cause i really think it is starting to be an issue when we have 3 players not defending, 2 is ok but 3 is a little too much when our defenders is struggling for the most simply things.

D.

Hazard gets back all the time!

You should watch cfc tv his fault for second goal not getting back.

During the pre season he tracked back well and also made lots of tackles leading to counters. he was our second best player all pre season.

cali

Marin is better at running at players. Brilliant dribbler. Poor shot on him though, plus he will hug the by line something our wingers aren't doing ATM they all come centre. Drop Oscar back with ramires. And play Marin!

i am a constant reader of this page and have never had one of my posts put live...but i have to say this and hope it gets through.........the overhaul of our first team is not finnished..we have all bombed out malouda,anelka,alex,sturridge,essien etc without many complaints but all of them have contributed a hell of alot more than the forever missfiring torres. i for one have been patient with him,and still think he is a hatrick away from coming good,but it aint guna happen not even close! i feel for him but he has lost his pace and thats it simples! we need give sturridge a run..a match fit sturridge would of converted 2 of his chances against west b at least.he is just rusty in the box but up front on his own he has to be better than what we have!..../ all said and done i think torres is on his way in january with falcoa coming in...if not falcoa it will be someone..ie benzima,cavani,bony,hernandez,dzeko sodding anyone please rom........but falcoa if you want the title and hopefully another cl final providing we are still in it come jan!! your thoughts and coments would be welcome....nick nc {Ed002's Note - The one way to get posts cat is to write BS like "have never had one of my posts put live".}

Well i agree with you that Torres has had time to prove he can change to something better, but it only got worse and worse with time and it hopefully gonna end his horrible time in Chelsea very soon.
I feel any attacker would be better than him and i hope RDM play Sturidge until we get something better, and leave Torres on the stands cause he is not good enough to be on the bench.
And i agree that Sturidge is rusty and he is only gonna get better, its the same with Romeu and Marin when his time come.
