Sounds like we are close to signing Carroll lads. oh dear oh dear oh dear.

16 Jan 2018 23:18:10
im losing more interest in football by the day depressing.

Cannot believe that disgusted
Our signings are pathetic who makes these decisions we don't seem to have a vision of what to do next.
I cannot for the life of me see what Carrol brings to the club are we going to play like Wimbledon 2 strikers up front and long ball it up to them because there good in the air we will be a laughing stock.
I don't see why we don't sign Phil jagielka Jonathan Walters Charlie Adam and Peter crouch to go with it.
That will definitely scare the crap out of Barca
Ffing fuming.

16 Jan 2018 23:36:33
With Carrol being considered my hi-ball glass is definitely half full.

17 Jan 2018 03:17:12
Peter crouch? Seems like a good idea actually. He's young, English and can score with his head.

Sign him up roman!

{Ed0333's Note - Crouch has a better goal celebration than Andy Carroll.

17 Jan 2018 07:39:27
Carroll doesn’t score enough to have to worry about a celebration,

{Ed001's Note - which is lucky as he once missed 9 months out after falling off a bar stool drunk, I dread to think how long he would be out for if he tried a knee slide!}

17 Jan 2018 09:33:55
Don’t joke please ed001.

{Ed001's Note - I was being serious, when Liverpool signed him he was out injured after he fell off a bar stool drunk. Yet Comolli still thought he was the right choice!}

17 Jan 2018 11:24:06
Comolli also said Sissoko at Spurs would become as good as Steven Gerrard! He is obviously a stand up comedian disguised as an agent/ scout (whatever he does)

17 Jan 2018 15:44:15
No Commolli is good at what he does.

17 Jan 2018 07:26:04
Positives just keep coming, heard he's a funny bloke, also.

Whether we like it or not, it looks like we are genuinely making a move for Andy Carroll.

I'd much have preferred us to have made a move for Vardy, simply because he offers something completely different to what we already have.

Carroll is an Injury prone, one dimensional player, capable of a few good games a season.

Obviously if we do complete the signing I'll be fully behind Carroll, as with any player we sign.


Our standards have seriously dropped in the past few years though. A few years ago we would have laughed if we knew our team would include Carroll and Drinkwater (with all due respect to those players) .


Lets just hope we can manage a top four finish this season, otherwise Hazard and Courtois could well both be off in the summer.

With all that being said, we still have a very good young squad (Musonda, Christensen, Ampadu to name but a few)

So the future is not all doom and gloom, and as we all know big names do not always mean success.

So let's all get behind the team for the rest of the season, because you just never know what can happen in football. C'mon Chelsea!

Tbh I have been hearing musonda hype for so long now. He has to first be given a chance before he retires lol.

16 Jan 2018 15:38:10
It wasn't too long ago that Mourinho's summer signings included Steve Sidwell, Tal Ben Haim and Claudio Pizarro (2007), and we signed Michael Hector, Papy Djilobodji and Matt Miazga in 2016. The point I'm making is that this is nothing new - we really need to sort out our transfer policy.

16 Jan 2018 21:08:53
I know it's not ideal, but if we're raiding west ham, I'd go for Hernandez over Carroll.

16 Jan 2018 11:47:03
Looking like Sanchez to United almost complete now mkhitaryan agreed to join. chelsea falling further behind rivals. Arsenal will be next with aubameyang.

16 Jan 2018 09:26:51
If the cost of the stadium is at £1bn then we (the fans) needs to brace up cos things will drastically change at Chelsea for the time-being cos it is expedient that the club will seriously cut costs- which will reduce their spending power in transfers.

God help we don't suffer what Arsenal did when the Emirates Stadium was under construction.

16 Jan 2018 10:03:43
We’ve got a fantastic youth team obinna maybe this is the only way we’ll get to see them and if they’re are good enough like we all hope and believe.

16 Jan 2018 11:47:30
The difference is that the Arse is not owned by a multi-billionaire - and the eufa financial regulations do not include capital expenditure.

Miss Darren Wood, Arsenal’s owners combined wealth is higher than Abramovich’s.
