Lost all respect for AVB after what he's saying about Chelsea. Maybe the club didn't treat him as well as they should of but he's slating the club something chronic. Can't wait till we beat spurs and watch the little man cry like a girl.
TcBlue.
Let him say what he wants. He is just a wounded animal. Thinking about it Levy and AVB are a perfect match. Levy's mission in life is to prove that he can do better that Abramovich without his money and AVB's mission is to do better than Jose without his man management skills.
Compare scolari and carlo even claudio with him. they still love chelsea. his statements sound like he is targetting club. we are a 107 year old club with decent collection of trophies in our lockers. top players don't like spurs (modric not happy for 2-3 years) and big names do not wan't to come to them. they are like a batsman who always scores a duck every season.

Agree with you both. I just hate the fact he's acting like a spoilt kid because he didn't get his own way. So Glad he's gone. I really like Robbie. So what if he isn't as good as manager as pep, Jose etc. ( I know he won the champions leaugue buy for arguments sake) the bloke loves the club. The I want people/players at the club because they play and live the club. Not for trophies and money.
TcBlue.
It's really sad and pathetic to hear the guy moaning about Chelsea still, move on mate!
I wished him luck before the season regardless of the fact that he's coaching spurs because I thought there was some merit that he was made the scapegoat by the execs. That being said these recent interviews have been very immature and unprofessional. Agree with whoever said he's a good match with levy. You cant live life with a chip on your shoulder.

Hi Ed (i think this one will be better for Ed 001 as you will see why)
Is there any interest from Chelsea for Derby wonderkids Mason Bennett, 16, Will Hughes, 17 and Kwame Thomas 16?

spurs are a run of the mill stereotype club that has a perrenial habit of not winning any trophy. their new boss is a flop who never kicked football professionaly.
kings xi punjab chelsea brisbane roar
I know Avram Grant never kicked a football professionaly and he took us to a CL Final if you remember, i dont like Spurs personally but thought id make it a fair case
ChelseaL
AVB didn't try to make it proffesionally did he?
Grant has loads of experience and due to his age people also respected him. even after he was not continued, he never spoke ill. take avb, won everything with porto in a league with only 2 teams(porto, benfica). if am a player caped for my country, played 400+ games for club, scored lots of goals, junir players idealize me...i will be flabbergasted if someone who neva scored a goal tells me what is rite/rong.
You don't have to have played the game to know it
trueblue012
Jose was never a decent player and you can argue he's the coach of his generation. Coaching is a combination of skills.

2 youngsters we should definately go for are Luke Shaw, 17, James Ward-Prowse, 17, (both Southampton) and Viktor Fischer, 18, (Ajax), watching them now in the friendly on Channel 5. All three look impressive especially Shaw who has looked dangerous at left back since coming on. Think these would be brilliant moves for the future, especially capturing Shaw who could be mentored into Ashley Cole's LB spot when Cole retires.
ChelseaL
Sorry i mean 3 youngsters in the first sentence
ChelseaL
Betrand has the potential to be just as good as Ashley!
NWBLUE
What is wrong with some people trying to find a new left back we have bertrand and van aanholt
Tbh i have a feeling Bertrand will end up as a winger or left mid, and has anyone heard anything good about Van Aanholt? after going on loan to Vitesse he seems to have gone off radar.
ChelseaL
Bertrand will make it, van aanholtim so sure.
Van anholt hasn't been looking that good, he is a few years younger than Ryan thought. So till plenty of time and hope.
We were linked with Shaw, and i would like to see him brought in and loaned out, with Cole getting older it would be nice to have a few options coming up behind him.
They both have huge potential bertrand more than aanholt
chelseaL you could be right about him becoming a left mid he played there biggest game of his carrer however with the likes of oscar hazard and mata at the club i would imagine he will stick to left back
curt
Does anyone else know if there has been other pre-season games on Channel5, was shocked to see that game on there today as there is never any pre-season games live on tv.

I think the striker situation should be left until Jan. This is because I believe that Torres is gonna rutrn at least close to his best and Dan Sturridge is a more than good enough back up. He got somthing like 11 goals from the wing in 1/2 a season for Chelsea. He got 8 goals in 10 matches or somthing like that for bolton in 1/2 a season. He is definatley prolific enough.
Because he is so selfish and frustrating to watch people forget how good his record acctually is. I agree he must pass more and be taught by somone that this is a team game, but there is no doubt over his quality. He is so skillful that the amount of chances he creates is so high he should put far more in the net. But when you compare him to other strikers/wingers he is still up there.
He needs to pass more and not shoot on sight but if he does manage to do this he could become on of the leagues most prolific strikerrs. And in addition the fact that he is english makes it even sweeter if he is a success.
In January re-asess the situation with Torres and Stude and if re-inforcements are required then bring them in but at at least give them a chance. This is why Hulk would be perfect IMO(forget about the price for a moment). He could play right wing for us and the slot in centerally IF needed, that way we dont have an unhappy big name on the bench but we do have plenty of back up to Torres. The Hulk deal seems to be becoming unliklier by the day although i still feel he would fit in perfectly.
If Oscar is deployed in the '3' i see the possibillity of Hulk joining as 0%. If not there is still a small chance.
What are your thoughts fellow Blues fans?
AG
Agree with the striker situation, however I can't lie that I would like Falcao at the bridge next season, but I don't agree on Hulk.
Fair enough
AG
But its about building a squad, so it doesnt matter if sturridge is capable, 2 strikers, considering lukaku is likely to loaned out is not enough, its not about the 11 men on the pitch..
Still think we are gonna need a more experienced (about 26/27 years old) striker whos scored a lot of goals in Europe as back up to El Nino.
ChelseaL
Post below my last one makes no sense.
AG
I think the first poster is right, a player who is versatile enough to play upfront and elsewhere is the best bet, someone like Hulk, Jovetic or Cavani (who is more flexible than some think)
The problem is keeping them all happy. i cant see cavani or falcao being happy being num 2 and sturridge 3rd choice. cuz sturridge wont be playing hardly if it all. i dont wana see him on the wing either cuz he aint gd thr. BLUEBOY1
BLUEBOY1, i think you have misunderstood my post. The whole point was to keep them all happy.
AG
If they get upset with a bit of competition for places they shouldn't be at a club like Chelsea.

44': Barcelona 2 - 0 Chelsea (with Terry sent-off).
87': Bayern 1 - 0 Chelsea. What was on ur mind on these occasions?
1. The Europa?
2. Players not signing for us?
3. Top 4 Battle?
4. The boos frm rival fans?
5. The financial implications?
6. The managerial post, RDM?
7. The players that flopped cum AVB perhaps?
8. The aged players who shd have had a chance to lift d trophy?
9. What exactly?
Against Barca I was cursing and swearing at John Terry and wondering what kind of a captain is he?!
Against Bayern I had a feeling of, 'oh no not again' coupled with the feeling of 'If anybody is going to do somthing it wil be Didier Drogba.(I promise I am not just saying that). As soon as he scored I simply knew we would win it.
INCREDIBLE SEASON
Against barca i stayed relaxed against bayern i was like FOR F**KS SAKE always happens to us and walked out the pub then we scored haha
How can someone disagree with what was going on in my own head?!
Against barca i thought the ref was a mug, then i seen the replay and just kept my mouth shut. against bayern i thought at least drogba will stay for another season or two
trueblue012
People disagree with everything for no reason at all mate
I know this sounds stupid but once ramires scored i believed we was gunna do it. munich to be honest was thinking no CL football for us. but i was disgusted how we approached the game. extra time we played better with torres on & Knew it was our year. then after drog finished them all i could do was celebrate and laugh at the yids lol. that made winning the CL so much sweater. BLUEBOY1
I think just about all of those things ran through my mind at some point.

28 Jul 2012 15:29:42
A poor corner from mata and all of a sudden bayern win champions league
It wasnt really a great corner, it was just Drogba making it look good IMO
Wasnt a great corner ? if mata floated it then drogba would not of sent it goal wards like a bullet leaving a rifle and the keeper would of saved it

Hi guys,
I first mentioned the idea of Chelsea bringing N Sahin in about a month ago. He is an outstanding player almost Xabi Alonso/ Pirlo esc and I think he could add something to the deep lying midfielders that we currently dont have. Seeing that he is available for loan I feel it is no brainer considering if he doesn't impress this year then he could just return to Madrid the next. I doubt he would mind sitting on the bench much considering he only played around 5 games for Mardrid last year, and I expect him to play more than that at Chelsea. He is a young and hungry player that has a huge talent. If he impresses we can look into the possibility o purchasing him next summer for a cut price.... What do u guys think?
I think he's pretty much the same type of player as mceachran, it would be a waste of time and money
trueblue012
Yer i too am happy to give mcechran that role. i have alot of confidence in josh. BLUEBOY1
Yet but there is no doubt that he is better than josh now but we don't have to keep him after one year.
Think your missing the point wether hes better than josh or not we all want to give josh a chance to improve
I think your missing the point Josh won't be getting many chances this year; hence there is talk that he will go out on loan again.
No your still missing the point
apart from anything else we dont need ANOTHER midfielder
Rather play josh and give him time, any way who would sahin be playing instead of in your mind? lamps, ramy, essien, mikel? oscar? or just another poinless signing where we are packed out already?
28 Jul 2012 13:36:23
Hey guys, are you happy with Chelsea's recruitment so far this summer? And what positions do u think need strengthening? and if so who do u think should come in? please comment with your views.
ChelseaL
I for one am very happy with the deals done so far, players like hazard and marin are what we have been missing ever since robben left the club. I would still like to see azpilicueta come in and either cavani now or falcao in january depending on what happens between now and then
trueblue012
A right back-azpilicueta.
right wing-iker muniain.
i dont want a striker because most people on this site convinced me sturridge could be good up front so i decided i want him to have his chance, even though i think he will fail. but lukaku could be recalled, and piazon was quite good thr against psg. and if were really gt injury problems play luiz thr haha. BLUEBOY1
28 Jul 2012 14:21:33
agree with everything you said true blue
lol at luiz upfront blueboy might aswel try it
curt
I've never seen iker munian play right wing in his whole career, good player though
trueblue012
Iker plays mostly right sided cuts in on left foot uve obviously only sedn him play zero times then
Munian is right footed.....?
Who I want:
Azpilicueta and Hulk
Who I think we will get:
Azpilicueta and Victor Moses
Haha what a tool, munian is not messi, he plays on the left and cuts inside on his right. are you watching upside-down by any chance
trueblue012
He can play both wings i thought. versatile like we like it, no need too argue bitches BLUEBOY1
He is just as capable on the right Wing as Marin or Oscar ....?
28 Jul 2012 13:11:45
We have Hutch as cover & we can't just bring in players based on "IFs".
Always Blue
Hutch isnt good enough
He'll never be good enuff if we dont give him a chance. can't stand the attitude some chelsea fans have.
We saw what PSG did to him..... He will be a good squad player as he is versatile and homegrown but with our new philosophy of playing out from the back next year he is going to struggle.
Hutchinson is 5 times the player at central defence than he is at right back.BLUEBOY1
And remember guys hes only really had half a season of football (i should add that its was only reserve football) that this Hutch has had since coming out of retirement, gonna be a while till hes fully back into the game

Could one of the eds explain the FFP rules please and whether Chelsea should be worried. {Ed002's Note - When time allows I will.}
Should we be worried ed?
aL {Ed002's Note - No.}
Simply put this is what the ffp aims to do
to introduce more discipline and rationality in club football finances
to decrease pressure on salaries and transfer fees and limit inflationary effect
to encourage clubs to compete within their revenues
to encourage long-term investments in the youth sector and infrastructure
to protect the long-term viability of European club football
to ensure clubs settle their liabilities on a timely basis
i don't see this being a problem for chelsea
trueblue012
Also make no more than a £25m loss each year. That's the bit I'm worried about...
28 Jul 2012 12:58:03
if some rumours are correct we could have two Fernando Torres' as strikers next season as Fernando Llorente's full name is Fernando Llorente Torres, found it quite interesting
ChelseaL
28 Jul 2012 05:35:08
Hey Ed,
With Oscar, Hazard, Marin and Mata all capable of a starting berth in the 3 attacking midfielders behind Torres (or any other striker), which 3 of the 4 does RDM have a preference to start with? {Ed002's Note - I really don't know.}
I think that's a question that should be asked to RDM.
ELI
Did u not see oscars interview yesterday saying he will play any where? plus he can play centre mid quite effectively
I like this dudes attitude already hes just happy to play even if its not his favoured position good lad

Exactly kurt but people still disagree because they dont actually know. oscar even played cenre mid in the olympics when ganso came on any of u even bothered watching. BLUEBOY1
Hes the sort of player we need mate happy to be on the pitch and wont complain if hes not attacking mid
its curt by the way not kurt ;)

28 Jul 2012 02:50:25
Mata, hazard, marine, Oscar, Ramirez, Moses (probably) to feed killer balls to Torres. At least he should now be scoring regularly. Otherwise he should be ready to pack. His bags.
