Chelsea are a team that make you comfortable
A month ago people bothering EDs about how we arent signing
In 2 weeks we signed courtois, lukaku, mata, davila, romeu
And now in the last 2 days we are connected to alvaro perreira, van der weil and modric
People give them a break...
Be thankful... Look at poor arsenal who are just fighting to sign a 3 million pound park chu young

I think fans are sick of seeing teams like United run away with the title and Chelsea not being able to compete with them toe2toe. Last year they knocked us out of the CL and also the PL You did name a few gd signings there granted, but Mata and Lukaku are the only 2 for me that can bring something to our squad this season. We still need a couple more creative attacking midfielders, but for sum reason we still insist on going for players like Meireles, these gritty box to box midfielders. We need some class now, more players like Mata Tevez and Modric These would be awesome for us We dnt have a Rooney or a Silva, Magical players lyk that really strike fear into teams Its time we started going for them nw and stopped looking at these hard tackling gritty players that only offer so much going forward.

Dont worry about Torres , I would be more concerned and worried about a current snail paced midfield that pass sideways and backwards 99 % of the time. If Torres gets the service he will come good , but not with the current service he his getting at present .

I wouldnt say complete waste of money but 50 million was a bit much for what he has done so far maybe he will get on form soon and repay it in goals
Agree0

Torres will come good, already looking sharper and fitter than he has for years now we have a creative player in mata watch Torres score for fun, top scorer by end of season, I'm putting big money on him scoring a brace next game
Agree0
Disagree0
I hope you're right :/
To be honest, yeah I do think he's looking sharper, and I'm sure he'll get us a few goals this season, but I myself am not sure if he was worth £50m.
Only time will tell I guess.
Terry

U got to think about the increase in advertising and endorsing he has brought in. it wont make up 50mil but it will lower the actual cost.
Agree0

And how much time is needed to tell if he's worth his transfer fee? he certainly not paying any of it back with goal's now is he
Agree0

Yea I don't think we can really wait much longer. We need more that just decent performances we need goals, lots of them
Agree0

People are not sure if he's worth 50m, how can you not be sure? You people are great, I have an 02 plate golf gti here looking for £150000 for it, no doubt ill get my hand snapped off at that price

Its rumoured Lille are lining up Kalou,much rather cah in on Torres,his last 12 months performances for Spain,Liverpool and now us have been crap,definite weak link,get shut.
Agree0

If our new gaffer is serious about challenging for honours he should cash in on Torres and break the bank to land Tevez,look at Man U,and Man C forward line,no weak links,all capable of scoring consistantly,AND theyre much younger,Tevez could be the difference between also rans and winners.

Chelsea Possible Squad at end of Transfer Window for the season ahead:
Cech
Bosingwa Luiz Terry A.Cole
Mikel/Lampard
Ramires/Lampard
Ramires/Modric/Moutinho
(possibles)
Sturridge Mata
Torres
Subs: Lukaku, McEachran, Ivan, Drogba, Romeu, Anelka, Malouda (if both still here, personally hope malouda gone) Peirara(possible) provide cover for LM/LW/LB. Is a creative player that likes to take players on and has terrific skill get past players one on one.
There has been alot of talk that a player was given a sturn warning by the club over his attitude. I can assure you the player in question is Josh Mc. From what i have heard he got a bit of a big head after preseason and AVB was not impressed. The kid is quality and AVB is well aware of that but needs to send a clear message to the developing player.
He will get his shot in the near future i guarantee you and I believe can put a strong case forward to see alot of minutes this campaign. He himself asked to go out on loan to AVB to which AVB reassured him it would be best to develope at Chelsea this year as he will get ample minutes.
Lampard and Mikel slow our play down tremoudly and I believe with an addition such as Modric or Moutinho we would have the midfield creaitivy to match it with anyone. With either of those players coming in and teaming up with Mata, Ramires, McEachran you will see a completely different style of chelsea play with creativety replaces our stagnant movement and sideways passes. Obviously Frank would protest to being a bench player but vying for the spot with mikel while essien is out is what i believe would suit him and chelsea best.
If the possible targets do come I believe that Torres will flourish for Chelsea. Our play would become creative and fast through the midfield with the deliver Torres needs to really show his worth. I do not think he has completely got his touch back but this is completely down to confidence. The signing of Mata has already boosted his confidence tenfold.
Come on the newblooded AVB's Chelsea.

the scouting staff under arensen made a lot of blunders. They ill advised roman. How could you miss dzeko, who when at wolfsburg could have easily been signed.
Torres has few months to impress at bridge. If he does not score in premier league and champions league, the he could well be packing his bags. I think in that case, chelsea would go for pato. Torres performance would be measured on goal per game ratio. Let us hope, he fires sooner than later.
If chelsea do sign modric, next year there would be no frank lampard playing at bridge. there would be a midfield of modric, josh, ramires, mata.
i suspect chelsea would also sell essien next summer to milan in player plus cash for pato. Essien never really lasts for a full season due to injuries. He is like robben.
Chelsea would sign subotic next season.

I know Youtube isn't the best source of assessing players but watching Joao Moutinho, he is exactly what we need. Can pick a pass, runs from box to box, not afraid to tackle, has bags of skill and has a fierce some shot. Another note is watching Man City yesterday, the way Nasri, Aguero, Silva and even Dzeko pinged the ball around so sharply and quickly was admirable and should be the way we play. Stick Mata on the left with Moutinho in the middle and Sturridge or another winger on the right with Ramires and Essien sitting behind them and Torres up top alone. Lampard is too slow on the ball and no doubt about it he is a great player but his style is something we should be moving away from. Rather than looking for that final pass, he always is looking for a shot. If we have El Nino up top, we need to let him feed of the through balls and Lampard isn't supplying him.
Scotty.

Dear Ed can you clarify please what does it mean never meet salary demand of Snejider ? Does it sound more expensive then 40 millions for Modric, publicly bow to Levy very greedy estimation of Modric and his 85+ p/w then just pay maybe only 32 millions for Snejider and well give him 120+ p/w salary. Snejider is much much better then Nasri and Fabregas. Never mind Modric. Snejider is experienced. Why were pay silly amount of money to Spuds for players who is very average ? {Ed001's Note - it was 200k+ p/w salary.}

Gentlemen, why can't we skip the sneijder or Modric comparisons here? Firstly they are both great players. But some might like one over the over. Sneijder looks wonderful on the pich, when he doesn't need to care about defending ever at Inter or the Netherlands with TWO holding midfielders sweeping behind him. Seriously - have you seen this guy takle? Ever?
Further, has he ever stated a desire to come play for Chelsea, or rework his salary to an acceptable club terms? Do you know how much is 200.000 K NET in Italy and how much would that be if staying on the same terms in England? And what about him being 27? His resale value at the end of a 5 year deal will be 0. Other than that he is a fine fine midfielder.
Modric. He is an option and the only beef towards him i find is the price. Well, has there been anything cheap in rival transactions? Mr. Arneson, anyone? United paid 30 mil for Berbatov and clearly overspent, but that is the nature of these kind of deals. There aren't many top class creative midfielders available or burning with desire to come to Chelsea. Seriously how many of top playmakers are there available, at all?
Pastore is gone, Xavi, Fabregas, Ozil, Iniesta all unavailable. Goetze and Eriksen are kids and might look good on those manager games, but not today or next year in EPL. We have to realize, that not only there ain't many options, but also other factors come, such as clubs willingness to sell, players willingness to move, terms to be accepted, various 3rd party ownership things, agent fees, etc. It rather more complicated than here's 30 mil pounds, what number will you wear?

Looking at how the two Manchester clubs are doing right now I'm not sure if our current squad can win the league. In the last 3 games we have struggled against opponents we used to thrash 6-0 or 7-0.

Look at how many 6-0's and 7-0's there's been over the last decade in the PL or old division 1 and you'll see what an anomoly(spelling) there are. We beat Man United 5-0 in '99.. does that mean we should do it every year?

Bosingwa should deffo stay, i've said tht all along and have never understood fans avin diggs at him all the time as on his day he is the best right bk in the PL. Mikel I think would have been moved on a long time ago if it was'nt for his stature. Kalou and Malouda I thiok should be moved on yes but Anelka provides great cover upfront.
