With Ashley cole getting on a bit is Bertrand really a good enough replacement to fill the void in a team like Chelsea? I like the idea of another homegrown left back taking the reigns but I don't think he is title challenging quality.

Jose Angel looks promising but the ideal replacement imo would be Schennikov of CSKA due to his tireless work rate (much like Cole's). {Ed061's Note - Bertrand has a terrific work rate. He is still young and is learning an enormous amount from Ashley. He may not be as quick as Ash at 23, but he is certainly no slouch and offers something going forward. He also has a real passion for the club and after CL final he is as determined as ever to make his mark on the game. I think Bertrand could have a long successful career at Chelsea myself.}

Agree with ed every time he plays left back he plays very well.

why would you want too waste more money on a left back when we have a perfectly good one already once cole goes

Just remember guys.....yes there will be a time where we win 4/5 in a row , but there will also be times where maybe we go 2 or 3 matches without a win. From the performance yesterday, let's accept that in times of bad , we know the quality is there , and so will inevitably shine through.

Sry I don't accept that it has to happen and if it does then I will look at who we lost to(can't just be any team) and did RDM put us in a position to win(with team selection and in-game management) and we were just out-played or unlucky.

Well after international break.....
we have two tough matches ahead of us.....
Tottenham ( away ) and Man Utd ( home )......
well tottenham started playing well under AVB from last 2-3 matches .......
and looks dangerous on counter attacks........
well against tottenham the team selection will be key n RDM knows it so i guess he will start ramires and mikel in pivot role.......
against man utd he might start with ramires and romeu in pivot....
man utd are playing well upfront but still they are not able to control the mid field area and thats where ramires and romeu will be better options than lampard n mikel .......
i guess we will keep clean sheet against tottenham with 2-0 victory......
n against man utd it will be high goal scoring match with 4-2 victory for us......
its 2 early to say so.....
but i can sence it......
torres to score a goal against tottenham and will score double against man utd......
so wen man utd gonna visit stamford bridge.....
so we gonna fu*ck red hot a*ss and send it back to old fu*cking trafford......!!!!

Hi Ed ,do you expect Pedro Obiang to conclude his move to Chelsea in January? {Ed002's Note - No.}

What's this then? {Ed002's Note - He is just a kid who has been looked at.}

hi a leeds fan here can i ask a question that i have often wondered what did you guys think of ken bates when he was your chairman?

For me Ken Bates is a difficult one. While he was outspoken and showed at times a complete lack of respect to the fans (and everyone in general), he also saved the club from bankruptcy, secured the freehold of Stamford Bridge and undertook massive redevelopment of the ground. He is a massive part of the clubs history, and without him, I am certain we would not be in the position we are in now, purely because he made the club attractive for investment. He did nearly bankrupt the club again though with that loan he took out against the ground, and his slurs against fans groups and Matt Harding were disgusting, but in his 21 years at Chelsea he did a great deal of good, which I for one am grateful for.

Oscar wants Neymar at Chelsea.

Neymar says his Brazilian team-mate Oscar wants him to join Chelsea and is a "very good salesman".
The 20-year-old Santos star has been tipped to make a big-money move to either Barcelona or Real Madrid next season.
But he revealed Blues midfielder Oscar is doing his best to persuade him to pick Stamford Bridge over fellow Brazilian Dani Alves' Barcelona.

"Oscar messages me to tell me what a great club Chelsea is and what a great city London is" Neymar was quoted as saying.
"He and Dani are both very good salesmen for their club.
"When the time is right I will listen to to the right offers that my agent has for me. It is very simple: if Barcelona are interested you listen, if Real Madrid are interested you listen, if Chelsea are interested you listen
"There are maybe five clubs in the world that you know you must at least listen to."

DeLaRusso

Imagine if we got him...

I never thought i'd say this, but...

Where would he fit in?

OsgoodIsKing

Up front? Maybe In a few years him and lukaku rotating

Jordan

I'm kinda with osgood here. You can't drop hazard or mata. Unless you're confident of Oscar moving deep then I'm not sure where he fits.

Good News

1) Kevin de Bruyne playing well at weder bremen. he has played 7 games and scored 3 goals so far.

2) joshua mceachran is getting good first team football at bourough. he has played 8 matches so far. news feeds from bourough pages say that he is a crowd favourite. his accurate passing has surprised many pundits.

3) romelu lukaku looks like scoring everytime he plays at west brom. in 4 matches he has notched 2 goals.

these 3 players would be knocking for first team places next season. good to see them doing well.
