Ed018 needs to take over this page {Ed018's Note - No, no , no. Believe me we all benefit from Ed002 knowledge. I can't stress this enough}

Gd reply ed018. Ed002 has some info that ed018 doesn't and that is no dig at him/her. They will admit it themselves.

Are we still stuck with Malouda

01 Sep 2012 21:00:51
Sturridge will now get a chance to play centre forward...he has qualities needed...he can finish, has pace and is selfish...he may just surprise us...

Can be too selfish sometimes though

Looks like City will be our main challengers.
Good performance by them Silva was just magical and Tevez looks lean and mean.We also need a Yaya Toure kind of player in order to win balls and release all our attackers .
But I believe even if we are lacking in some parts in the midfield if get our act together and play as a team then we are in for a hell of a ride.I believe we will do very well in all competitions this season.We may not win them all but we will be close.
Guys here is something funny:
The shi*e commentator in last night's match said,"Chelsea's real strength will be shown when they play big teams like Liverpool,Man u".
I mean Man u is ok but Pool seriously!
By the way anyone has any idea who was the commentator during last night's game. He was literally abusing Chelsea through the match.Shocking really.
Also the haters are out in full force.One former Man u player said this of City buying Sinclair"Not sure about him I mean he did not even make it at Chelsea".
I mean now that we are not playing I reckon they will be hosting parties celebrating our Super Cup loss.Well my message to them is enjoy while you can because we will be back with a vengeance.That's what we do don't we.
roan

Martin tyler and alan smith were the commentators

Ed i don't understand why we don't just have a log in to be a member, it takes 10 seconds to input an email address and a password, it would stop persons posting as much and would be a lot easier to ban people, all these fake impersonations are also becoming a problem. Im pretty sure 99% of us would welcome it. If its good enough for eBay and Bleacherreport then its good enough for chelsearumours.

PB

Very good point PB, it would stop a lot of trouble. I've started using forum.talkchelsea.net, its a very good sight, none of this rubbish on there.

Rowan

Agreed but think yourselves lucky your not the one getting impersonated

curt

If you weren't so fun to bully no one would impersonate you curt

Chelsea forums is rubbish. Ppl just posting random crap. Crack on if u like the opinions of fans without a brain.

I'd much rather listen to curt. Hang on, he hasn't got a brain. Chelsea forums here I come haha.

Ads

I dunno Ads, its basically the same as here. There are occasional persons, but on the whole people are good for banter.

Rowan

Lol bully ??

dont be silly i laugh at the pathetic people making there snide comments thats not bullying

hey ed is it true that drogba and anelka have been released....is there a chance that super drog could return? {Ed002's Note - No, not yet but there are issues about payments that would mean the club may be in breach of their contract.}

01 Sep 2012 18:02:31
cech dives in with his feet everytime, goalkeeper training says go in with your hands, why isnt this being taught to CFC goalies?

Because its the wrong thing to do you make yourself big and then throw yourself towards the ball his feet naturally slide out to make the goal smaller

curt

Oh too add if cech dived with his hands he would be doing a klinsmann everytime ... thats just silly

curt

I think Cech is very paranoid to go in with his hand because its alot more dangerous to get it in the head, I talk from experience as a keeper, it hurts when you get it in the face! Still he is definatley one of the best keepers in the world and dont just remeber the drogba penalty, remeber Cech saves!

Peds

Peds

I have played keeper for 14 or 15 years and was the starter for my high school and I will second that it hurts like hell to get kicked in the head be you are suppose to come out, cut the angle, and make your body big while trying to get your hands down. I was always told feet were a very last resort.

The fact they haven't won a game this season is really funny.

Can Falcao still be confirmed as a Chelsea player or is he definitely not moving? I'm remaining very optimistic about it......
Thanks
RT {Ed002's Note - Is this something on Twitter?}

The only chance you got RT is if we signed him some time yesterday and the club is waiting to spring the surprise on to the fans

curt

No sorry Ed its just that after the rumours last night about the 'release clause' and a lot of people were saying that some of the deals could be confirmed after the window was closed I was just wondering if the deal was still pending and he could still possibly sign
RT

I think this may happen and Chelsea may wait until mid-week to announce it, just a sneaky feeling

He dropped points to a bottom table team at home in the last 15 minutes of the game.

My first choice team for this season,

Cech
Azp. Luiz. Cahill Cole
Oscar rami
Moses. Mata. Hazard
Torres


Subs-

Terry
Lampard
Bertrand
Sturridge
Meireles
Romeu
Marin

Deano
Blackman

Marin over moses

01 Sep 2012 15:10:48
At least Ash has the balls to apologise, dont see Torres, Mikel, Luiz, Ivanovic, Cech and Lampard saying sorry. Only Hazard made the effort last night and Cahill. scott m.

To be fair to luiz he has sed sorry. I'm sure all the players are gutted, I think they took it as more of a holiday than an important game. Shame as we could of had another super cup. I'm just glad we didn't have to win last night to get in the club world cup, that 1 is a biggy for Chelsea.
Marley

01 Sep 2012 16:43:39
Luiz did on twitter

Luiz cant say sorry for every game.........and he hasnt anyway

Well Torres has nothing to say sorry about cos he worked his nuts off along with Oscar when he came on!

LF07

^What?? Where you watching the same game as me and millions of others?

01 Sep 2012 14:32:20
This is the team that i would like to see us play against QPR:

Cech

Ivanovic*Cahill*Terry*Bertrand

Meireles*Mikel

Moses*Oscar*Hazard

Sturridge

-Sturridge ahead of Torres because QPR have a slow defence they won't cope with Sturridge's pace)(And Torres has to know he isn't the only CF at the club.

-Just to maybe freshen things up a little bit.

I'm hoping you left mata out so he could have his 2 week rest.

Azpilicueta at RB, i though Ivanovic was awe full last night, threw possession away so cheaply in the first half.

No rami, no cole, no mata, as well as keeping in the worst player yesterday (ivanovic), and no Torres either. That's a balsy lineup.

Tk

Torres hatrick last year?

You can't just look at one game's display from Iva. he's been brilliant,To shake up your defence with a player who hasn't played for the club yet is stupid,Mata needs a rest,Ramires might have picked up a knock wouldn't wan take a risk with him seeing we already loaned out our other box to box player,Bertrand,Oscar,moses and Sturridge are raring to go play!Torres scored a hat-trick against a different QPR and note LAST SEASON...This team i picked is not the strongest just a revitalized one.

01 Sep 2012 12:50:36
Would quite like to see all the older players shipped out next summer, and a loanees brought in to replace them.

My Team 2013-14
GK: Thibaut Courtois
RB: Cesar Azpilicueta
CB: Jeffrey Bruma/Chalobah
CB: Tomas Kalas
LB: Ashley Cole (i know he's older but always top class)/ Ryan Bertrand
CDM: Nathaniel Chalobah/Oriol Romeu
CDM: Ramires
RAM: Victor Moses
CAM: Eden Hazard
LAM: Juan Mata
ST: Torres/Falcao (any experienced striker to lead the team)

ChelseaL

I'm sorry mate but Jeffrey Burma ain't good enough. And it's not like luiz and Cahill are older lot. Stupid post that team would win f all

By loanees i mean, courtois, bruma, kalas etc etc. Players who are currently on loan from us.
ChelseaL

Awful team selection. Cahill would only be 28, Luiz would have 2 more seasons experience and hopefully be more defensive minded. Ashley Cole would be 33, Bertrand should be starting. The rest isn't too bad but what about Oscar?

Whilst it is a nice idea....it is far too early to introduce all these kids at once....and really...would we pick either Chalobah or Romeu over Oscar who we've just invested in heavily for the future? This team would really struggle to make top 6

By that time we would have bought another 5 players at least

01 Sep 2012 11:45:35
Lets not forget that victor Moses can play up front.

01 Sep 2012 11:11:43
Why didn't we just make a straight swop for Essien and Diarra?Wouldve loved to see Diarra back at the bridge.

Would rather swap for khedira we sold diarra to arsenal because he wasnt good enough

curt

And yet since then he's gone on to play for RM which would indicate he's improved since we've sold him.

I think we sold him because of his poor attitude and conduct off the pitch when Mourinho was manager hence why he has never been flavour of the month at madrid either, an excellent footballer though

Real madrid or not its irrelevant because hes still not playing for them either and hasnt for ages

curt

01 Sep 2012 10:48:11
Why are people suggesting michael owen as a back up striker? i would rather have a youth player given the opportunity, as they would do just as well if not better..

Maybe Patrick Bamford?

Chelsea

01 Sep 2012 10:15:08
Cant believe we let ME join madrid! We need him back right now!

Clever buisness sending him there in my opinion if anyone will get him playing well again it will be mourinho

curt

01 Sep 2012 10:13:47
I am really diappointed that we couldn't buy a striker.Why we always go for a famous one - that cann't bear the weight of their price in our field! There are many 15/20 goal a season strikers for £5m /£15m and will have drive to be a star. We should learn from Arsene Wenger and apply this to our team. If loan window is still open let's get some one on loan otherwise I can see trouble ahead. Is it that Roman or other chealse highrachy wants DM out by not allowing this to happened!!

K Zaman

I agree why do we always go for the ready made superstars. Look at Everton 6million for Jelavic and about 5 for Mirallas. What we needed was a back up and a different style of player to give us a plan B.
And as for letting Essien leave without a replacement we will regret that, look at Mikel last night.

Yeah let's follow arsene. How many trophies has he won in the last 5 years by chance?

You're clueless.

Tk

01 Sep 2012 09:52:30
Well the good things about last night's result was that it is a wake up call for the team.Reading some of the tweets by the players atleast they have realized how poor they were and will definitely work harder in the upcoming matches.All the players know just how poor they were and that the fans deserved a better showing.
Lets not forget all the positives so far this season:
1)We have brought many class players.
2)Torres looks sharp and is hungry.Even in last night's match at times he looked to take on defenders whenever he got the ball.
3)Hazard has the potential to play as well as Messi and Ronaldo.
3)Oscar looks to be a very very composed player just the kind if player we need in the middle.
4)Mikel is improving and is actually running just needs to tackle and make some challenges to win some balls.
5)Marin is still play.He is a very very good player.
6)Cesar and Mosses both have bright future and look very promising.
We can only get better.
Let the haters hate and underestimate us ,don't we just love that.
I am sure when we gel and the team comes together we will be one of the finest teams ever.
It is all up to RDM now.He has the resources and only has to use them well to succeed.

01 Sep 2012 09:28:02
Is it me but I really don't get the essien deal... Leave us short of def mid cover! Any thoughts guys n eds?
Wheelycfc

01 Sep 2012 08:09:18
As we've missed out on a top striker I think a good option would be micheal Owen, he's free and as we've seen at Manu he's happy to warm the bench. He's lost most of his pace but still knows where the goal is, could be a good striker for the lesser games and competitions which would give us chance to rest nando, he would also keep injury free as he wouldn't play that much!
Maybe a good option?

01 Sep 2012 07:53:38
Jeez, you lot are as bad as the United fans on the United site. I think Chelsea and United have both bought well. Chelsea are light up front, United are light in the middle but both teams have strengthened well. City have bought poorly (other than Garcia) and Arsenal have gone backwards. I think United and Chelsea will be back fighting it out this year. Who knows, in January, you might but a centre forward, we might but a centre midfielder and then we'll all be happy.

AJH (in peace)

01 Sep 2012 07:06:12
Id say it's man city for the league

I say swansea will win.

01 Sep 2012 06:59:55
Ed I think you have the right to ban shed lower remember he said if we don't sign REMY he told ed to ban him {Ed002's Note - We will give him another chance.}

01 Sep 2012 06:51:34
Well I for one I'm glad the transfer window is closed. Yeah we didn't get a striker but we got a handful of priceless young talent in our team. I mean Marin, Hazard, Oscar, Moses and Juan. With players like that its almost Certain Torres would score in every game. At least I know I would :).
As for the CDM role Mikel looks to have read this site cause he has improved though I would still like to see Romeu given a chance, Lamps for me is past his best. Rami has to move there or Meireles has to start, perhaps that's were our problem lies, just hope RDM can see what we see.

Its still gonna be a good season, we have the players to push for the league to the last day, so let's support the team and hope for the best.

ELI

01 Sep 2012 06:18:57
For those of you thst are slating mikel i think its high time you stoped.mikel was brilliant the problem is LAMPA0r0d.he does nothing other than running around the field but mikel was the best player of the night and some tools arte slating him.i will rather have meireles partner than lampard

Beachcruiserf

Are you Di Matteo in disguise?

01 Sep 2012 03:29:45
I know its great for the site that its very populated with posts now but i have to admit that seeing a lot of these negative is very off putting and makes me think about how the site used to be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but there's a line between supporting the team and being unreasonable. It used to be all chelsea related things with some friendly banter and a bit of stick with the liverpool fans, but now its filled with arguments about spelling and that friendly banter is generaly abusive. Get behind the team, and be thankful that our club is in the financial position to buy world class players like mata, torres, hazard etc.

01 Sep 2012 02:14:18
i remember one part of the game where i was laughing out loud at mikels poor attempt of a sprint to get back and help out the back 4! if i didnt laugh i would of stuck my foot threw the plasma! it was pathetic HE WAS PATHETIC!!! Its getting to the point were if i see his name in the starting 11 the tv is going off i just cant watch the pathetic creature no more! his performances warrent the sack!


kevinCFC

Kevin its getting to the stage when I see your name I just skip past. You obviously love the club... I think but a handle on yourself mate.

Melbourne CFC {Ed018's Note - Ya know Kevin, Melbourne has a good point. You by far have been the most negative person on here. Things aren't that bad and Mikel played much better than Lamps tonight. The issue still is, neither one of them is fast. We play with two slow center mids. They need Ramires back in the center}

So it wasn't just me who thought this, I thought maybe I was reading something there that wasn't. I think he needs to think back to when things could have been much worse than missing out on a player.. these are good days to be a Chelsea fan and many more will follow. Now the window is closed we can all think about football and football alone.
Marley

Ed018 while everything u said is true i think you and Melbourne are missing an important point. I know Kevin was going on about a player or players(That'snot my thing, i sincerly believe we have enough tallent right now to compete and win every competition we're in) but the real issue is- what evidence is there that those in control (RDM &staff) see the same things we see or even agree that they need to change?

Example, from the meaningless summer tour games some of us could tell that the holding mid duo didn't fit and yet it those are our starters. Haven't u seen comments from last season about Ramires being wasted at RW and still no change.

TBH even in our 3 win start we haven't played 90 of good football mainly because the pieces on the pitch are not a good fit. So when i hear stop moaning and its only 1 game, i'm thinking - what will be different next time.

Although no reasonable fan expect us to go unbeaten, these frustrations have been building because we didn't have to waste an opportunity to take our 1st Supercup.

FloridaCFCFan

Wot stupid comments! if ur well and truely happy with mikel and lamps then ur not watching the same game as i am! ur just turning a blind eye to wot is the biggest problem at chelsea football club! did u not see how easy it was for them to counter attack! am not happy with it its embrassing to watch! do u think some one like fergie would keep playing 2 players that clearly are not good enuf keep playing! chelsea need to move on! and one last thing ramires cant play wide right another thing that is clear to see by everyone! so tell me wots the point in signing all these wide players when hazard and mata are definate starters and rdm plays ramires wide right so that leaves bout 4 players fighting for 1 spot! if u cant handle the obvisouse then ban me from this site, i know am right and that all that matters! i couldnt care less weather ppl skip past my post!


kevinCFC

Melbourne i think its debatable wether he actually supports chelsea in all honesty

curt

Clearly the only fan above is Melbourne! Let's get some stuff straight:
1) if you don't want to watch your team because a player who you rate is playing then you're not a proper fan! I sit and watch every game they play, regardless of who is in the starting line up, such as last night where I sat and watched the whole game even though they were getting hammered!
2) Roberto Di Matteo won us the Champions League last year, so for me, I'd take his football knowledge a fair bit more seriously than yours Kevin and Florida fan! He is also a legend at the club from his playing days!
3) Mikel at the end of last season was fantastic! If he hadn't been playing then we wouldn't have won the Champions League...........which means..........no Hazard, no Oscar, no Azpilcueta!!! They're all players that probably wouldn't be here if we hadn't won the Champions League......won by Di Matteo!
4) Remember last night was a glorified friendly!

So unless you stop whining pathetically you might as well just get off the site as quite frankly you're talking s**t!

Chelsea Nick

Plus FloridaCFC I presume you're not a real fan and probably one of those fakeys since we got all the money, as any proper fan knows we won the super cup in 1998! So we already have our first!

Chelsea Nick

Back off nick, how have I ever come across plastic or fake. Jog on u fool! And curt is more of a fan than u could ever be.
Marley

Wind your neck in Nick

01 Sep 2012 01:00:47
Hey, if we can take anything from this, it's that we won't be held to ransom by anyone, for anyone. We have a very very bright future, and at present, Falcoa, Hulk and everyone else the Eds brought us updates on will settle for Europa and smaller league titles for now. All in all we did our business early, and good luck to the squad for the coming season!

01 Sep 2012 00:07:57
on the night we were poor but Falcao was on-fire and would have dominated any defence playing like that. 4th goal was a bit unlucky but poor defensive planning and a triad of brilliant goals won the game at half time.
EH17

31 Aug 2012 23:57:09
I'm glad it's over. No more "Will we get Cavani? Will we get Hulk?"

Sturridge now has 4 months as our number two striker to prove himself and I have confidence that he'll improve as a player because of it.

SurreyBlue

Dont forgot Torres has to prove himslef aswell, i know he is the main man this season but what if worst comes to the worst and he dont score no more goals till january...I aint having ago or a dig at torres, in fact in a massive fan of him, but worst case sceanrio

Peds

31 Aug 2012 23:53:03
Can someone tell me why 'Gigi Salmon' told us to keep tuned in till after 11. Has something happened yet (preferably on the news of the Falcao buy out clause).
Also if there is no news on that tonight could it still be confirmed tomorrow. Really hope we got Falcao. I adore him.

It was to inform fans of Essien's loan move and probably to increase ratings.

Rowan

31 Aug 2012 23:51:22
Find it funny how we had cavani remy shurrle as targets and failed with all them

31 Aug 2012 23:39:27
what a game 2nite......
our defenders were all over d place.....
the passing of mikel n lampard is so fast and forward that even attacking midfielders of atletico madrid able to walk back and cover the goal post.....
lampard was passing ball behind and sideways and running forward......
as it if he goes in goal post its gonna b goal.....
was never in position of holding midfielder......
ivanovic when he lost the ball he even didnt tried hard to get back in defence......
luiz very well talented but RDM needs to remind him that he is defender not attacking midfielder to go forward all d time.....
falcao was gr8 2nite.....
we must give all d credit 2 him.....
but at d same time we should realise how many goal scoring opportunities torres had......
did he get d required service.....
i would say absolutely not.....
there r few changes i am in favour...
1) dont play lampard and mikel together
2) bring ramires back in pivot role rather than using him on right wing or even play meireles with mikel.
3) use romeu in place of mikel
4) use oscar in central attacking midfielder role rather than on left wing
5) if RDM continue playing lampard and mikel together then its gonna cost him his job one day


samrat

I didnt understand 50% of that.

31 Aug 2012 23:33:33
RDM u have just pulled the trigger to ur downfall! not only u cant see how bad mikel and lamps are in holding mids u just let go the only decent holding mid we did have in the bison! if he good enuf for madrid he is good enuf for us! very disserpointed in chelsea the way they acted in the transfer market all the players play simular roles apart from ceser! dnt look to have no plan B. torres gets injured we are doomed if u class sturridge as a striker bloody well play him as a striker instead of wide right. RDM looks scared to sub torres!


kevinCFC

Always the optimist eh Kev

Jm10

Where can you take any optimism from that game and not signing a striker, fair enough being optimistic but after that sh*t tonight and not signings its pretty hard to be confident of beating any team of any real attacking quality

31 Aug 2012 23:26:53
Wow ! Just Wow. I have to say this is one of the most disappointing nights of my life. We lost the game and didn't get that back-up striker so I guess its all up to Torres.

Well we still had a pretty successful transfer window Marin, Eden and Thorgan Harzard , Oscar, Azpilicueta and and Moses, brilliant signings I say. So chin up guys, its still gonna be a great season, you'll see.
thanks ED for the brilliant job.

ELI

31 Aug 2012 23:06:03
Yet again..chelsea disappoint...we have Torres ,& sturridge until Jan at least. I'm a cfc fan and pissd off...not a chance winning much then..
