ED002 Falcao dropped another hint today which looked as though he said he wants to join Chelsea has nothing at all changed? {Ed002's Note - No, nothing has changed. What are you expecting?}

Where did you read that?
Link it please :)

Ed do you think we may look to send Piazon on loan in january {Ed018's Note - the only way he will be loaned is if it is to an English team, he can eventually be considered home grown. i'd expect a loan for next season}

Ed, I have concern and don't get me wrong love way were playing and we are looking good but my concern is we go out and really want and get players like Marin, Moses, Azpi but have yet to make any kind of effort to get them in. If we suffer any injuries they are not game/match fit and ready. I know its a long season and competition is fierece to get into lineup but we could at least have them sub in from time to time and get match fitness. Even against the buds with a lead we bring in Sturridge, not Romeu or Moses..... Not sure how they will become ready if we don't use them at all?

Dude i'm not sure what type of reply u expect from ed for that question that is up to RDM. I agree with what ur saying, instead of bringing in lamps, who's already proven, for token minutes why not prepare a young player to step in at and important position like rb or dm. But we have a good sqaud and cup ties upcomming and have seen those players along with piazon get to play in those matches, we just haven't had many of those matches thus far.

Chelseas most underrated player has to be Mikel, works so hard for the team and does all the work that others don't/can't.
Problem is when his level drops we suffer. Our weakest 20 mins Vs Spuds coincided with Mikels weakest 15-20 mins, he lost possession cheaply 3-4 times in a short space of time, and struggled with his positioning.
My concern is when he goes off to the ACON will we cope? We have Romeu but he has never been fully tested against stronger opposition, I am certain that he will step up but will he manage it in such a short space of time?

Romeu is great he played last season against man city when we won 2-1 so he's already shown that he's more than capable of filling the role.

Blue con

Honestly can't see how he could be worse. Worse case senario is he plays the same inconsistent game but imo Romeu is more active, better in the air, better passer and at least a threat to score.

Underrated? we paid alot for him and hes probably worth 10 million at most. he has more poor to average games than he does half decent. he does run quick or make breath taking tackles, if he does he gives away a foul. he cant head the ball or run with it, ramires makes him look better. very rare he passes forward, when he does he gives away goals, (juventus & spurs) no ergency and lacks a football brain. eveyone says he has a good game for making a tackle and forward pass. yet lampard makes 5 tackles and 20 forward passes hes claimed to be past it. i suggest watching last few season reviews he is nothing on romeu,

Last poster i was with you till u brought up Lamps who is clearly not a DM and would imo be much worse in that position than Mikel so please just stick to the subject of Romeu.

Right this soft approach to Torres needs to stop. He's 28 he can take some criticism.

We spent 50 million bloody pounds on this guy, and for a season and a half he scores about 10 goals. That, for a striker considered to be world class, is just pathetic.

So we build a team around him and make him our main man. Now he is scoring a couple here and there but he has completely lost his composure in one on one situations when he has time to think.

Also he drifts all over the place way too much. In this system he doesn't need to create anything, he's got the 3 behind him to feed him. What he is doing on the wing and outside the box when we have the ball, God knows.

And he goes out to the press and says last season he didn't care if we won, because he was mistreated. The only reason he was mistreated was because his goalscoring and general play was appalling!

He's the highest paid player at the club and he's our record signing. You don't pay 50m quid on someone who will 'show signs' of playing to their full potential. You pay 50m on a guy to score goals, in any system, no matter what.

Be it Neymar or Falcao, we need to replace Torres.

Oh and before you lot say not to get on his back, it's just so frustrating that this guy is finishing so badly and says the things he does. I've just had enough of him.

Tim

Agree entirely. £50M and you expect one of the best lplayers in the world. He's been a real disappointment. As a Man U fan, I see Chelsea as the major force this year after some quality signings...but you lack a quality striker. So pleased that Drogba left.

AJH

Why havent you gave a mikel speech hes been rubbishe for 8 years

Tim, you're a bellend, im happy with torres' scoring this season.

You won't be so happy when we play against top quality opposition and Torres lacks composure enough to score a vital opportunity.

When he is in behind the opposition defence with open space and just the keeper to beat, he does look like a rabbit caught in the headlights. At the moment it's not such an issue as we are winning consistently regardless. But it could and probably will cost us at some point.

Pretty sure the club can see this and will look for another striker in January. Efforts will be made to sign Falcao, and I think we all know who would start out of him and Torres.

Chelsea will want to be the best that they can be, currently Torres just isn't good enough.

IB.

Haha to that unnamed poster. Happy with his scoring? How about all the missed chances? Against the better teams he simply won't get as many chances, and with his poor chance conversion rate he won't score. IB is right, when he has time to think he is just shocking. Really don't know why you lot love Torres so much.

Ed 061/002 Is there any truth in the rumour that Frank might be going to the MLS in January?
I would have thought the summer would be more likely.
Thanks {Ed002's Note - I have dealt with this on and off over the past year. I expect him to go in January or the summer.}

Ed061 and 018 yesterday did you see the Man u match ,whoever were the commentators were jacking off throughout the match.At the end they even said that the Trio of RVP,Rooney and Welbeck are the best attacking trio in the world and Man u has the best attack in the whole of Europe.Common ed,the bias towards them has to stop they are a pretty average team.Agreed they beat Stoke 4-2 at home ,but this is ridiculous. Ronney and RVP are playing well right now.Welbeck is a very average player.
But to say that they are the best in Europe above Us ,City,Barca,RM,Munich,Juve is just bonkers.Time and again they have been smashed by Barca but the shameless people have the balls to say that they are the best every time.I hope we smash them in the next two matches.
roan {Ed018's Note - not a whole lot anyone can do about the commentators. Maybe they are United supporters. Take a deep breathe Roan. As long as we take 3 points next Sunday I don't care what they think}

Not a fan of Chelsea or united, I also noticed the commentators getting overly excited should I say about them, I agree that uniteds defence/midfield ain't the best but attacking wise they do have real quality up front, Rooney will always score 20 odd goals a season same with persie, I don't rate welbeck very much but he looks like he can score 10-15 goals a season and same with chicho, Chelsea on the other hand have without doubt the best 2 attacking midfielders in the prem at present in hazard and mata with Oscar still learning, Torres I feel lets u down though, I would take Rooney or van persie any day over him, now if u sign falcao then u will be pretty much unstoppable, for me barca and real m are the two best teams in world football

Barca maybe but Real just on paper atm because their form this season so far hasn't been great. Maybe include a Byern and we'll see where we stand at seasons end.

Ed's in your opinion, what Chelsea players won't be offered new contracts once there's expire? You mentioned Cech previously what others are there.
Thanks
One Bomb Tom {Ed061's Note - It will be assessed on a case to case basis, if the player is still playing too a high standard they will be offered a deal. If we feel that they are no longer required we would not offer them a new deal. You can expect that in next 3 years that JT, Frank and Ash will more on, as well as Cech and possibly Ivan.}

Didn't like the way walker acted out against mats yesterday, I can Understand him being pissed off by mats giving him the run around. However there is no need for the agression he showed towards Juan. {Ed061's Note - I think Juan got him back mate. Juan is a very very calm character, Walker is n arrogant flog. Juan wouldn't of given it a second thought, was too busy winning 3 points.}

Yeah I saw how he reacted and it was commendable, I don't support Chelsea am an lfc fan but I watched the game and couldn't believe how petty it was! {Ed061's Note - You have to realise Walker is an arrogant, overrated flog. He was being taken to the cleanest and didn't have the mental strength too keep his calm. Mata would have known that by walker doing that, he had wiped the floor with him all day and Walker finally blew his lid. It was a disgraceful act nonetheless.}

21 Oct 2012 14:44:53
Walker was just being the kid that he is. Shooting the ball at Mata and at point asking Mata to come and score - hmn, very childish. He simply wanted to out-muscle Mata but should have known there's more to football than just physical strenght. Juan was simply a thorn in his flesh.
Bas!cs.

The game against spurs showed our quality and how much fight our team has. Two things have changed this season 1) Our style of play is more elegant. 2) We have more desire to win when have gone behind.

Torres works hard for the team, we can't expect him to score in every game. Plus we have goals everywhere in the team.

Mikel comes under to much fire when he makes a mistake, but doesn't get praised enough when he plays well.

Mata has taken over Drogba's role of inspiring the team to play better and keep fighting till the end.

Oscar is probably one of the most important players in the team, he tracks back more than the other forwards allowing Mata or Hazard to stay up at times and he links up play well.

Hazard, Mata and Oscar will get better the more they play together, Hazard and Mata are already in sync, Oscar as well but not as much as those two.

Our defence is good but we need to be better, close down people more often and track players better. Luiz is fantastic but needs to be more stable at the back.

All in all our team doing great under RDM if we can maintain this form through out the season the sky is the limit for us.

GO BLUES

Zen11

Oscar doesnt speak english yet so once the comunication is 100 percent everyone better watch out

21 Oct 2012 08:35:39
It's been already 12 games we have played in all competition's.......
and we have already "13" different goal scorer's....
but still JOHN OBI MIKEL is not on score sheet........
well i am backing MIKEL to score a goal.......
come on MIKEL !!!!!

SAMRAT {Ed061's Note - Hahaha I like it Samrat 1 goal every 5 years would be a decent return IMO}

He is tall but i wonder y he is not been use in a box during corner..

Because he has to stay back due to Luiz, Cahill, terry and Ivan always in the box as they are better headers. He waits for the clearance from the opposition or can attempt to break up a quick counter.

Melbourne CFC

More chance of Cech scoring!

No one will sign in january as roman is saving up for a mega summer. The Falcao rumours sre mot true, just a detour fir our real target who us Neymar. Roman will offer 55m plus malouda. Second big buy will be a DM. Busquets, Vidal, Sweisteiger, Khrdira all being considered. Only cole will be iffered a new contract. Lamoard and terry will move on. Expect a small bid for Ganso {Ed061's Note - I wouldnt expect one word of this to come true in all honesty mate, except MAYBE cole to get a deal and Lampard to move on.}

As much as I'd like it to be true, I doubt it very much!

21 Oct 2012 02:52:05
I think we should sign HESKEY.hes doing great at Newcastle jets

BILLY {Ed061's Note - Is this the real billy having another crack at comedy or someone taking the mick and trying to make billy look a fool?}

Billy is a fool. He doesn't need to be made to look like one. Oh and you ever heard of pgp, hidemyass, vpn's ? {Ed061's Note - Heard of what?}

21 Oct 2012 00:43:09
Our most important game is not against man utd next week, our most important game will be the one directly after our first loss

Jm10

Who said were guna lose? UNBEATABLES
I aint being funny but this team would have beaten arsenal when they done it so why cant they do it?
Carefree {Ed061's Note - We are unbeaten at home in 2012.}

Newcastle , back end of last season, 2-0??

Jm10 {Ed061's Note - Hmm I swear I watched a press conference with RDM who said it, sorry Jm10 my mistake. Once at home in 2012 isn't all that shabby hey mate.}
