Jackson . you are like a gliding eagle high in the sky.
you have a view on everything, do you hold coaching badges?
He's keeping this page alive, you can see the progress, it's being revived. Fair play to all of us :-P
Jackson, Jackson, Jackson. :'). They grow up so fast.
In other news, we are about to go for Messi. In what would be the deal of the century. Personally don't see it happening, so here is my question if we could get one of this deals which would you guys opt for and why?
WARNING: THE PRICE QUOTED IN THIS DEALS ARE IN NO WAY ANYTHING OTHER THAN FIGURES SPECULATED AS SUCH EDS OR ELI SHOULD NOT BE BLAMED OR DISSED IN ANY FORM WHAT SO EVER :)
Messi 200mil
Reus 22mil
Bale 85mil
Talisca 30mil
Sterling 35mil
Ronaldo 35mil
Just for fun guys see where peoples heads at, can't wait to see your views.

Ridiculous ELI! Ronaldo only 35 million?!? You are a silly guy!
In all seriousness, I'd take Ronaldo for them prices. But say that ronaldo was 70 million (more realistic), i'd go for sterling, English, potential, great player, as well as weakening another team in league in the process :)
Bale would be lovely as well :P
For those prices, Reus all the way! And apparently there's some journalist in Argentina who's supposedly pretty damn reliable and he's said Messi is indeed looking to leave and Chelsea is definitely an option. I don't see it happening myself TBH but you never know.
To the original poster, that's a nice description to me. 'A gliding eagle', I like it. And no I don't hold coaching badges, don't think I ever will. I've got enough work as it is with my studies at university. But I like to believe I know something (admittedly very little in all probability) about football. So if you disagree with me on anything that's fine. And please don't think I don't notice sarcasm when I read it :)
Thanks boys!

Messi or ronaldo all day but it would definatelly upset hazard which is world beater in the making. So I would go for reus as he is something special
{Ed001's Note - personally I would agree with you, Reus would be the best choice. Messi and Ronaldo are at their peak, so you would pay a premium and both come with baggage. Reus is still improving and would have a lot more years, plus his game should be perfectly suited to English football. If not, he would have time to evolve to suit the game. Bale has improved beyond all recognition in recent years, he works extremely hard at his game but, and it is a big but, he spends far too much time out injured. If he was cheap, it would be worth it, but at the cost it would be, I just don't see the value in it for Chelsea running to a budget.}
Rues is way too god like! But like bale, he seems injury prone.
Messi would be amazing, but he's an person. Don't like him at all.
Ronaldo, who is an absolute extraordinary player, is also an person. But like I said, best winger in the world, and will make us a much bigger club (income and popularity wise) than rues ever would.
So yeah, sterling or rues (injuries are a worry)
{Ed001's Note - I was thinking Reus's injuries would be less of a financial burden due to the lower cost, hence why I never mentioned them, by the way. With lower wages, signing fee and purchase price, you can afford a player to miss games more easily than one who is top dollar in all those 3 aspects.}
Well, someone pointed out that before his big injury last year Reus missed only 6 games due to injury or due to being ill in his entire career.
And the injuries he's had since then probably are caused in some part by Dortmund rushing him back. And the injury he suffered now obviously has nothing to do with being injury prone as it was a horrendous tackle.
So I wouldn't call him injury prone just yet. Maybe if he took the proper time to recover he'd see the pitch more often.

Fair points 001
Let's hope Madrid can't get him, if they do, I hope for us to get Isco, he's the odd one out of ronaldo, bale, and Rod.
He's spanish though, so not sure if they'd be willing to sell
Well thanks for the replies you too Ed001 mate, but really Ronaldo turns 30 next year any team that pays more than 35mil or there abouts for him is sick and don't forget that's without his wages. That was my thinking though but good point across and I agree with Ed001 and LRDlt Reus all the way.
{Ed002's Note - I wouldn't hold your breath.}

But ELI, it's Ronaldo? :-P
Reus would be first choice due to price/age/potential.
Bale I'd pass on for a couple years 'til he's shown he can get past his constant injuries.
Ronaldo is almost 30 now, and given his price + wages, I'm not sure would be worth it.
Talisca, I'm not sure he's worth 30m yet. I'd give him a year or two more development before he'd be worth that amount.
Sterling, I'm undecided about. He clearly has potential and he's English but he'd need to show more consistency before I'd bid for him.
And finally Messi. On the one hand I'd love him as he's such a great talent but his price + wages will be astronomical. Not sure he'd necessarily hinder Hazard but it'd definitely spell the end of Oscar's career at Chelsea. Not to mention for 200m plus his wages we could likely bring in Varane, Pogba + Striker and probably Reus/Sterling.
