hello guys its me with my weekly question (sorry for mossing last couple of weeks as I been at holidays and I am working hardly on dissertation).

Back to the quesion: what are your all time top 3 players which played in Premier League?

1.The obvious choice for me would be Thierry Henry. As he was joy to watch even though I didn't support Arsenal

2.John Terry - I may sound a bit biased but for me he is a perfect example of true Captain. Always gives his best, is a True leader and real warrior

3. Ballack - this is pure because I love the guy, in my eyes he was still too underrated even though he is classified as World Star.

Franco Zola the greatest ever followed by Arjen Robben and even though he's only been around a while Eden Hazard. All fantastic entertainers and I have blue tinted specs so don't vote or comment on non Chelsea players.

I haven't been following the Premier League for that long, so I didn't see much of players like Henry and Bergkamp. I'll go for 3 Chelsea players as well since I mostly watch our games but not many of the others.
John Terry is one. The way he organizes the defence, his positional sense and his determination are amazing to witness. One of the greatest defenders in the Premier League ever and we're blessed that he's a blue.
Second would be Essien. Absolutely loved him! A beast in his prime, he destroyed midfields on his own. Who could ever forget that goal vs Arsenal. Crunching tackles, great strength, endless running. He's like Ramires on steroids hahaha :)
Lastly, Eden Hazard. Watching him play brings a smile to my face. Fantastic little player and it seems like he truly loves the game and has fun playing it. I really love him.

Zola. always very special to watch
Bergkamp. was at the bridge for the Arsenal game when he first joined. Whole crowd chanting "what a waste of money" but even in that game you could see he had something special
Super Frankie Lampard. the guy is just pure talent absolutly love him a true Chelsea and Premier League Legend

(On a side note when Ruud Gullet first joined us that was something special. we hadnt seen anything like him at the bridge before. An absolute magician. Still can't believe he joined us to team up with the likes of Paul Furlong and Mark Stein. so with my blue tinted specs on. hello gullet goodbye berkamp) :D

It looks like that Pogba will be joining PSG. That means PSG will be forced to sell if they don't want to be banned from uefa competitions. The same goes for MCFC since they've already breached FFP.Plus Real Madrid and Barcelona are out of market.

As long as he doesn't join a rival club in England I'm fine with it. Give me Andre Gomes or Koke or Sanson (purely because I trust you're judgment on him Ed :-) ) over him.

Agree0 Disagree1

Hi can any eds shed some light on the filip luis situation? Second half of the season he hasn't been seen, is this because azpili has been playing really well or Is there more to it? I.e not settling in to English life ect? Does he want to leave in the summer and is there plans to move him on regardless? Thanks in advance

Ok lads, as you all probably know I went to see Leicester vs Chelsea game live (those who often goes to games can realise that TV doesn't show everything what's happening on the pitch), as I was sitting at home fans section (my lady gave me ticket as a birthday present so can't blame her much for trying her best), I wasn't able to sing our songs so I decided to look at play and work rate from our player. Here is a bit of analysis about the players.

Cech - played good game and made one really important save. As somebody mentioned it earlier he is true proffesional and always do his job when called upon.

Azplicueta - the guy never stops, always runs around and gives his 100%. Even though he slip for the goal, but it happens with everybody.

Cahill - Ok guys he played good this game but what scares me a lot is that he doesn't have that commandind voice and leadership in him, therefore he always need one player like this to be played next to him. I would be scared if next year Terry got injured and we would have to play Zouma and him as our CB's.

Terry - the guy is legend and his positioning is superb, but he is really really slow. I knew he was slow but TV doesn't show exactly how much.

Ivanovic - I really believe that after Terry retires we have to move him to CB position. He has everything, strong in the air, have a leadership abhilities and also have a respect of the team! wouldn't mind him being our captain

Matic - always strong in the middle, barely let's anybody past him but he definetelly ability to spot (and make) great pass

Fabregas - was really poor yesterday, even though he tried his best and always worked his socks off defensively

Hazard - looked a bit lazy to tell you truth especially in the first half. Played fine but could have done more I believe.

Willian - was the best player on the pitch. It basically looked like he was everywhere, on the left, right middle and even take ball from our half to bring it forward. I have to admit never rated the guy as much as he deserves it.

Ramires - superb finish on the goal, but was a bot sloopy

Droba - the guy is a legend and even scored the goal. But he was so poor, he basically nearly walked all the time, he is really slow and just can't play whole game. I really don't know why Mourihno is not letting our youngsters play.

Subs - can't really rate any as all of them barely played.

Leicester - just had to mention how well they played. Absolutely dominated us first half, and if they had Schlupp in their starting line up we may have struggled to win as nearly all our goals came through konchesky (or what the hell his surname is)

Sorry for long post lads just wanted to share something what I personally saw

Don't think Fabregas was poor I thought it was his creativity that kick started the second half.

Agree4 Disagree2

Here is where I have to disagree with you welsh. In my eyes it was Willian and his energy who was driving us to the win

Agree2 Disagree1

30 Apr 2015 17:30:18
Yes motm but fabregas's influence around the box helped us break them down.

Agree2 Disagree0

hey ed with both madrid sides facing a transfer embargo would that affect our chances of getting varane and koke respectively as they would not be able to sign replacements

{Ed002's Note - It makes no difference.}

If Chelsea triggers release clause for Griezman or Bale and player wants to move to London neither of those 2 clubs cannot do anything to prevent transfer.
So ed is absolutely right about this.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No, you are wrong.}

It seems some of our players like playing in yellow. Ramires, Drogba and Terry on the scoresheet. And I'm pretty sure they scored against schalke in the 5-0 win. Ramires also scored in the 6-3 vs Everton I wouldn't mind seeing his stats in the yellow kit. Here's a thought play in our yellow kit vs palace 😀
