Soton fans think they're gna get Lukaku for 8m lol

Believable0 Unbelievable0

They do have some deluded fans, one talking about going for hazard and another said the only two players they would want is lukaku and hazard haha and saying they should be going for better players than what arsenal are going for, where do they get this stuff

Agree0 Disagree0

Could it be that we know you love dishing it out but can't take it?

No sense of humour, you lot.

Agree0 Disagree0

We 'dish out' realistic transfers e.g Shaw. Lukaku and Hazard etc aren't realistic in the slightest.

Hi eds, I've heard a lot of rumours about Nathaniel chalobah going on loan to newly promoted Yeovil Town? Any truth in this or is he off somewhere else or staying?
Thanks {Ed002's Note - He has not even returned from loan yet.}

If we sold David luiz it would be an absolute joke, if teams like Madrid and barca want him it must show what a class player he is.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

23 May 2013 10:00:52
Barca's system will suit Luiz more perfectly than ours. Even Madrid will be better for him. He's replaceable.

Agree0 Disagree0

I remember reading on tv that last season when luiz played we won something like 60/70% of games and when he didn't play it was about a third. replaceable?

jscottjr

Agree0 Disagree0

For me David Luiz is one of a small handfull of players who is not replaceable. For one I think he is a fantastic footballer, underrated by most and criticised by the press mainly because the press are simply lazy. Some of his performances from CB have been flawless, Vs RVP he has been consistantly brilliant.
Secondly his attitude and personality are fantastic, one of the only players who really wanted to win the Europa League when we were first put in it, and one of a few who wanted the club world champ as well, not to mention the fact that people at CFC love him. Fot me he is the obvious candidate to lead the side once Terry and Lamps have moved on and I would be very happy to see him at the club untill he hangs up his boots. It would be a real loss to the club if he was sold.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 May 2013 14:23:49
he is pretty good in Midfield. but can't trust at all in defence. he is a special character. can hit some wonder strike out from 30 yards.
Still can't digest how is he a center back for brazil?

Agree0 Disagree0

Same shyt we said about Sturridge (doesn't fit our system), and he wasnt half the player Luiz is for us. We cannot get better by getting rid of to talent.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sturridge is and over confident big headed ego problem. He had to go. He scored a few last couple weeks where he had a point to make. Last few games Liverpool fans were acting him again, and guess for what greediness.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi eds we got along time yet till transfer window opens but it just seems that all the clubs a round us, who will be challenging us are already involved in transfer talks with the top footballers and were just sitting back, not saying that's what is happening just seems like we're stud still and I've got a crap feeling we are going to miss our main targets. In my eyes we don't need loads of changes so the couple we do need let's get the best in those positions it just seems slow at the minute with us. Many thanks {Ed002's Note - Why not read the posts?}

Ed002 french media say Moutinho and Rodriguez are in Monaco to undergo Medicals after sgreeing a fee is that correct? {Ed002's Note - They will be moving, whether or not they are being asked to cough at this minute I cannot say.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Im guessing Monaco won't be stopping there spending anytime soon!

I know a lot of people don't want chelsea to buy Schurrle. But he undoubtably has huge potential. Maybe he hasn't lived up to it yet but I think he could be a massive player for us in the future. Remember he's only 22-23 years old (correct me if I'm wrong). Looks like a player mourinho would like as well, hard worker and excellent on the counter

Believable0 Unbelievable0

People on here doubt a lot of players younger than this. Like no other online.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think he could definetly add something missing to the squad but I also think his price tag and the potential repercussions (kdb) are a little worrisome.

Tk

Agree0 Disagree0

Maybe KDB will be sent out on loan, that's true. But I don't believe Chelsea intend to sell him. If he ends up sold it will be because he himself wants to move on. I wouldn't worry about that all too much

Jackson

Agree0 Disagree0

In my opinion, Schurrle is not a better player than KDB, infact, KDB is better so I see no reason why we are offering KDB and big money for Schurrle, it's a crazy thing to do.

Agree0 Disagree0

We aren't offering kdb and money for schurrle

Frank is a Chelsea legend but the club should have moved on from him instead of caving to media and fan pressure because he is British. Now he's talking about wanting 3 more years and 250 goal club he seems to be just for self and it has reflected in his play the last 2 seasons and most of this season where he wasn't working hard for the team or in defense and it seemed he just showed up to look for goals. I think Rafa called him on it after a stretch he didn't play and the last couple months I actually saw him trying on defense. Its just becoming clear he's more of a me first player, the anti-Gigs, and my concern is that younger players and the club in general gets held back.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Mate you're a belle*d, obliviously not a Chelsea supporter. Do one.

ed018

would u expect one of Falcao, Lewandoski, Cavani to sign for chelsea this summer? {Ed018's Note - at this point it is impossible to say}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

22 May 2013 13:08:34
If Cavani really is on his way to City and Falcao to Monaco, I think all of our efforts should be put in getting Jovetic. He, with the three amigos should combine ridicoulousy well.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

22 May 2013 14:53:30
jovetic has agreed terms with gooners for 25 mill so as higuain. this is a make or break seaosn for wenger. he is going to ripp the transfer market.
12 years in charge 9 mill nep spend. he is having enormous amount of money to spend.

Agree0 Disagree0

Jovetic's goal record is a bit suspect. 12 in 33 games isn't that good.

22 May 2013 12:28:46
Next season:

Cech
Azpilicueta Cahill Ivanovic Cole
Ramires Luiz
Oscar Mata Hazard
Lukaku

3rrwd

Believable0 Unbelievable0

How exciting

Agree0 Disagree0

No no no! Oscar needs to go deeper,

Agree0 Disagree0

Not sure about the central defence there, would prefer to see a really stand out center back which I think we have been missing at times this season, especially when Luiz in in the middle.

Agree0 Disagree0

Cech
azpi papadopolus ivan cole
khedira luiz
oscar mata hazard
lewandowski/cavani/yilmaz/etc.

^i hope its possible

jscottjr

Agree0 Disagree0

22 May 2013 11:58:35
So these are the players that chelsea have being looking at and look likely to join (not all of them):

-Cavani
-Khedira
-Schurlle
-Falcao
-Yilmaz

I believe this would be the best players to bring in:

-Varane
-Khedira
-Schurlle (versatile player that can play with another striker)
-Cavani (Talisman and prelific goalscorer and his wages is about 60 000pounds a week lees that that of falcao)

Bring back from loan:

-Lukaku
-de Bruyne

Move on :

-Torres
-Ba

Believable0 Unbelievable0

If we're going to buy Cavani we might as well just give Lukaku a fair shot. I think Lukaku would be able to do the same things fairly well. Cavani is lethal on the counter but does he have the technique required to play when teams start parking the bus against us?
And let's try to get Markovic before someone else does

Franco

Agree0 Disagree0

To be honest with some of these positions we have the youngsters. Lukaku, mceachran, de bruyne and challobah or ake. It's the perfect season to bring them in and they are ready.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 May 2013 11:30:00
Ed, do you think Yılmaz would be a good buy if Chelsea were to get him? 32 goals in 39 games for Gala is a good rate, but do you think he could play well in the Prem? I've never watched the guy myself. {Ed018's Note - I've only seen him play once or twice in the Champions League this season and I really don't remember much so I can't comment. It's hard to say how someone coming from the Turkish league would perform in England. If we miss out on some of the other forwards I'd rather just see Lukaku stay at Chelsea and get the playing time.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

22 May 2013 12:20:43
Exactly what I'll want Ed018. Lukaku deserves a proper chance.

Jose Mourinho to depart Real Madrid with the worst record for any manager who has been with the club for 3 or more years.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

LOL! He's got the highest win percentage out of ANY previous managers that have managed over 50 games at RM! 72%. Bye Bye Troll!

Agree0 Disagree0

22 May 2013 12:03:17
ronaldo, benzema, ozil, alonso, khadiera, conetrao, kaka, higuain. a blind man can manage 75 % win rate any game with that team.
with no previous top level experience. vilanova has managed almost 90% win rate at barca.
dude. with ronaldo and messi in your team. you don't need to add any tactical appraoch. they are sure to score 9. 9/10 times a oal each match.

Agree0 Disagree0

They've always had BIG STAR NAMES! R. Carlos, Hierro, Zidane, Raul, Figo, Makelele, Ronaldo (Brazilian one) Backham. Could go on and on! I would pick most of these players over the ones you've listed! Again bye bye troll!

Agree0 Disagree0

22 May 2013 13:14:35
so what's your point mate?. they had super stars and the managers who lasted for more than 3 years have won more than what jose has acheieved.
cant u read it properly?.
and what you think jose gona do this time. you seems living in 6 years back. when spurs was just a team and man city was just a city. ?
with out 100 mill to be sepend. can jose take this very own current chesle team to top of the league?
now that's what you call it the very special one. o

Agree0 Disagree0

Name me a manager that has lasted for more than 3 years at RM?

Agree0 Disagree0

The problem at RM wasn't the manager it was the players, there player power puts anything in the prem to shame, and that not even mentioning the fact that (allegedly) players leaked info to the press, which will always cause huge tensions and a lack of trust!

Agree0 Disagree0

^^^^Again in English please!

Can you not wright properly?

Jose has the highest points record in England, Spain and Italy. Enough said!

Pellegrini spent 200mil the season he managed RM. What did he win? That's right sweet f. a!

Jose is coming home and your all pooping your self! FACT

Agree0 Disagree0

22 May 2013 14:55:19
Pellegrini spent 200mil the season he managed RM
in-correct. it was perez who spend 200 mill and sold sniedjer vander vart and robben.
he too was sacked by the club as jose. simple

Agree0 Disagree0

22 May 2013 15:00:17
Jose has the highest points record in England, Spain and Italy. Enough said!

Check his teams and the amount of money spend. he has won nothing in europe with chelsea.
In england. he was backed by the most powerful owner in the world RA. In spain he manged a team who cluld always have 90-100 points every seaosn.
in Italy he was again backed with the owners.

You are sure to win 2 out 4 trophies in an year if you manager milan, juventus real or barca.

IN England its diffferent.

HE WAS HUMILIATED BY DORTUMAND AND WOULD HAVE RIPPED APART BY BAYERN.

AVB has won more points than any other manager at spurs in maiden season. with an average squad.

Lets see how much he is going to spend this time. to win the 20 mill prize money EPL.

Mate just check carlo anchelotti and his achievments. you would probably faint.

carlo anchelotti won the double in a seaosn and got sacked.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 May 2013 15:02:24
Jose is coming home and your all pooping your self! FACT

My question remains still wide open. Can the special one. take this cheslea side. from 3rd to 1st. without spending?
NO. and FYI. EPL is not the same it was 6 years back when jose left. man city was just a city 6 years back. so as spurs. arsenal and everton.
You won't even make it to top 4 next season with ths team.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 May 2013 15:04:03
Name me a manager that has lasted for more than 3 years at RM?

But the special one should have lasted?

Agree0 Disagree0

So Pellegrini flopped with 200mil of talent at his disposal in 1 season. How much did Madrid spend under Jose in the 3 years?

The fact remains, who ever Jose manages, they win! And so will Chelsea. simple, simple, simple.

Agree0 Disagree0

My question remains still wide open. Can the special one. take this cheslea side. from 3rd to 1st. without spending?

^^^LOL! Of course he can! He's the special one!

Every team spends money, Chelsea just have more than others, hence, we will spend more than others (may be not as much as Monaco, psg and city). You jealous by any chance?

Agree0 Disagree0

So when Pellegrini spent 200m is was Perez who spent it but when JM spends the money it's his fault?
Chelsea always spend money. We're not going to stop spending money just because JM is in charge. Also we were expecting to spend a large amount of money this summer regardless of whether JM is in charge or not. This transfer window is likely to be the last of our transitional period. We're going to need to bring in 3-4 quality players which is likely to be expensive.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 May 2013 17:37:38
y u wanna buy expensive players.
the entire revenue you get from PL and Cl is close to 100 mill. pay that to FA and UEFA. simple.

By doing all these. you are destroying a culture known as football.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why do ALL teams buy expensive players? To improve the team. Duh. The only teams that don't buy expensive players are teams that can't afford it. Simple.
I assume you blast Real Madrid for their spending too then? What about Bayern? Or Utd?

Agree0 Disagree0

Also even if we were to pay the FA and UEFA the 100m we'd only win the title for one season. Would rather invest the money in players and win it several years running.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 May 2013 02:15:21
Are there any teams that are untested in demba Ba. Like u say his value is zip and his had trouble with medicles before. I'd rather keep Torres and sell Ba but Torres more clubs I feel would be interested to take him and his wage bill will be worth getting off our books.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

22 May 2013 08:37:33
Yes. Chelsea Reserves is interested in Demba Ba

Agree0 Disagree0

It would be a lot cheaper to keep Ba, and I can't see him being as moody when he is on the bench

Agree0 Disagree0

Torres' wages means he has to go. I wouldn't mind keeping torres as backup if he was willing to sign a new contract that gave him an enormous pay cut, but no sensible human being would do that.

22 May 2013 00:33:06
Ed the chances of jose coming back look good, and now it looks like we are stalling on Falcao-Cavani and there agents now offering them to other clubs, are we looking at Ranaldo Ed is this why we are stalling? Cheers ed. {Ed002's Note - No.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Gareth Bale valued at 50 mil pounds for having 1 good season? While a much more accomplished Van Persie was sold for twenty something less than a year ago. I honestly believe that if Daniel Sturridge (who many of us couldn't wait to get rid of) was sold to Loserpool last summer, the way they use him he likely would have scored more than Bale. Is DS worth 50 mil? Would he have won player of the year? Lukaku could have done that for W Brom if they started him over Shane Long. I could be proved wrong but I just don't see anything special about Bale to be calling him 'the best player in Europe'. Time will tell but I think he's had a good season but will not produce 20+ goals per season going forward.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Bale isn't a striker thou so comparing him to what Sturridge and lukaku do is pointless. Bale has the plaudits because he is a winger or as AVB moved him as a second forwarding mata. And it's his goals and type of goals that have carried spurs. You need to think if bale was playing with a van Persie or top striker how deadly that would be. Bit I do agree he is far from best in Europe and comparing him to Ronaldo is a cringe.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think you're wrong, he really has carried tottenham this year, he has scored some blinding goals, he's lightning quick and good brilliant crossing, he really is a damn good player

Agree0 Disagree0

Bale hardly plays as a winger. If anything he'd be classified as an Inside forward or second striker. If we classify him as a winger then he's had a sh*t season. Something like 4 assists. Rubbish. Suarez has more assists and he's an actual striker. I certainly don't think he's worth £50m. £40m tops. And certainly not the best in the world.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 May 2013 07:35:36
He is an excellent left attacking winger. he can ease past any RB in the world. his goals are just magic. 20 odd goals with 13 outside the box probably 25 yards out makes hims special. still at 23. rightly trained the guy will become world class.
But he won't do any good to chelsea sice. hazzard plays in the left side.
but if he ends up at UTD replacing valencia or nani. with RVP kagawa and Bale. they are going to be almost untouchble.
He is the type of player who can change the game at any instant. 93rd min. 25 yards out. this guy can hit 9/10 times top corner of the net. makes him similar to ronaldo.

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't know about any of you guys but I agree that at this moment in time, Bale is the best in the prem. However, next season I think that Hazard will completely outshine him. I personally think Hazard is a better footballer than Bale, just he hasn't played near his full potential yet

Agree0 Disagree0

22 May 2013 10:19:44
yes I do agree. it will be between hazzard and bale next seaosn. both are cracking to watch and both are supreme talent.
but I can also see him ending up at real madrid if they sell ronaldo, coz. he is the perfect LW to replace ronaldo at real which is availble.

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm sorry but what do you expect from wingers? Assists! If Hazard/Mata/Oscar etc only managed 4 assists in a season you'd slate them. So for everyone saying OMG for Bale to get 20 goals playing as a winger, that's amazing. He didn't play as winger but more as an inside forward/second striker. He's still an amazing player though.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 May 2013 23:51:14
To everyone on here saying we will be ok and we have players like mata Oscar hazard who are class and have scored goals for
Us. Well difference between us and its is they have a
World class striker to score and
Out games to bed, we cannot rely and attacking midfielders and we shouldn't have to. We should be thinking that WITH a cavani or falcao and mata hazard Oscar how dangerous we would be. , hard to see many 0-0's with a world class striker on same pitch as what we got

Believable0 Unbelievable0

As someone else already commented, we scored more goals than man city who have 3 good strikers. In fact only united scored more. While we could use another striker if someone left, I think we should concentrate on allowing less goals by spending to get better in our back 4 and our defensive mids. A good true winger with pace is even more important than a striker because spacing was a big issue in games we dominated possession but didn't score such as against Swansea.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hard to remember us not scoring in a game. Although you must be missing something, which I can't really understand. I'm turning into some advocate here and it's irritating, already. Imagine how Ed's feel, haha.

Club were to bring Cavani to Chelsea last year and made a firm offer. Then the Italians pulled a leg and started shopping him around the world to no effect. It took time and effort. Chelsea have informed Napoli they maintain interest in Cavani and would happily bid for him without the repeat of last season's circus. Now what is your problem exactly?

Chelsea also remain interested in Falcao and if neither of these two deals pull off, will likely turn their attention to Lewandowski. It is goddamn clear the club wants to add a top striker. Again, what the hell is wrong with you here?

And we'll be alright with or without either one of these. Trust me. Fon't panic, or spread your worries. Enjoy the offseason.

JG

Agree0 Disagree0

As if we don't know we need a striker, in the prem we've been playing with 10 men, 9 if mikel plays.
