i think we should get pato (if he stays injury free he has potential to be world class and is only 23 )

He's either joined corinthians or just about to.

With all the strikers talk (Ba, Falcao, Cavani Etc.) Imsuprised we havent been intrested in Lewandowski, fantastic techniqal ability, young and scores goals, the only problem (as the eds have mentioned) is the price, however Id rate him below Only Falcao or Cavani, any thoughts on Lewandowski anyone?

Lewandowski is far better than the apparent current target, negredo.

I'd very much like him to come join us. He is a realistic target at Proper market value. 27 years old. Perfect. If the report of possible 15 million pound valuation to be believed, that is a Anelka money for a striker. A very good deal, IMO.

JG {Ed018's Note - should at least mention what player you are talking about}

My Guess would be Demba Ba
Tom

I was thinking he meant Negredo?

Roweycfc

I'd say Negredo with the 15 million pound evaluation

It's Solado?

I am a huge fan of lampard and cole but the way things should work are:
If they both really do want to end there careers at chelsea then they should accept the one year contracts offered at lower wages. When they where at the top of there game thats when they got rewarded with a huge contract. Now they will become squad players, i mean is 50k a week so bad. But on the other hand with only having probably 3-5 years left playing then maybe they are looking more towards life after football and need a final payday.(cole-psg.lampard-la galaxy). I personally would like them to stay as long as the club is not held to ransom over wages. At the end of the day its not a managing game this is real life. I think we have enough cover if frank was told he can leave but i dont think betrand is quite ready to fill coles boots just yet. If cole does go i would like to see contraeo replace him. I think he has more expierence and would be a lot cheaper option than baines. Also i think we have a lot of midfield players at the club but no real muscle so i would like to see fellani added.
We all know a striker is needed and would all love falcao or cavani but lewandowski would be a cheaper option.
Options between now and summer:
Out; benayoun.essien.malouda.ferriera.turnbull.hilario.
Back from loans; lukaku.de bruyne.courtois.
Added: fellani.contraeo.lewandowski.

But we havent even offered lampard a 1 year contract thats whats so ridiculous

Coentrao was bought for £30m two summers ago. Say it gets cut in half and that's what Everton have thrown around.

my chelsea team

cech
ivanovic cahill/luis terry cole/bertrand
marin fellaini ramires
oscar lucas mata hazard
falcoa / cavani/ neymar


(my chelsea dream team)

david cfc forever

That is 13 players

Jordan

You have way too many players, and you don't half sit on the fence do you? And what is Marin doing in that position? I know it's a dream team, but no offence mate, I think the greenery might have got into your dream.. Cut out Marin and Lucas, and then you have a decent and somewhat realistic team.

So apparently the Daniel Sturidge 'injury' was a mystery!

01 Jan 2013 02:32:49
I will only say one thing all the hate thrown at the team especially the manager is ridiculous and is harmful to say the least.As for the comments made by Rafa at that time, he was perfectly within his right to say what he did back then, he was the opposition manager what do you expect.I would expect the same from my team's manager and would any day support his views as they are meant to hurt the opposition side not praise them.
We are also acting like pampered children
, remember we as club had no where near the amount of respect or trophies that Mn u , Arsenal or Pool had.
We did not even dream of having the players we have now or the power and respect we command now.Now that we have all that, we have forgotten what supporting the team is like.
All day we are barking out sell that player buy that.No one is asking the question why the player is not playing well and what is wrong and how that can be improved or is their a solution for the problem.Instead of saying that, we are now saying he is gone , sell him spend another 60 mill buy another player, JUST BECAUSE WE CAN AFFORD IT.
As for the firing of Di Matteo, he had lost the dressing room and it is never a good sign when there is fighting among the players.Because this is a team that was doing very well till the Man u game , something happened there that changed the way we played and Di Matteo as the manager was unable to correct it and the situation grew worse.The moment their was discord between the players is the moment you know something is wrong.I agree with Abramovich with every sacking he has made and that is why he has won so much.The man is a billionaire and is so successful for a reason and each one of his decisions has made perfect sense.
Lets not be blinded by the media , follow the logic and you will know he has been correct each time.

Even though you may not like the situation, you have to suck it up and move on as what they are doing is for the best of the club and is not harming the club in any way possible.Show your displeasure when the club is being harmed or is on a real tailspin.

Of the list of managers only Jose left that too by mutual consent and in the rest of the situations either the players were not playing for the manager , there was discord in the camp or the club was going no where.

Do not worry our stupid behavior now is only strengthening the opposition and harming us.Talk about creating a mess for ourselves and we are.
Suck it up and just support the club and the players.They are trying their best to do well and we should do our best to support our team and just enjoy the game.It is a game after all, you lose some you win some.Just do your best that is what the club officials are doing.

Billy

( ps, not saying I don't want FALCAO Just stating a point. )

I hope it does not harm you Billy when I say 'good post'

Puzzled

Obviously

Is it true that Chelsea are looking into Pedro Obiang as a possible signing?
