It seems that we have agreed new deal with Nemanja Matic.

You may agree or do agree with me but during his second spell at Chelsea Jose Mourinho made 3 crucial signings Fabregas, Matic and Diego Costa! He also signed Eto'o, Willian and Cuadrado, first two didn't really pay off, about Cuadrado is still to be seen.
Unfortunately Jose Mourinho also managed to chase out Mata, KDB and Lukaku. I haven't mentioned David Luis because that was fantastic financial deal.
Was Chelsea transfer policy so amazing as press is trying to present we will see in the future!

Getting 28m for lukaku wasn't a great deal? Getting 37m for mata wasn't a great deal? And with KDB absolutely nobody on this site was upset when he got sold with most complimenting the club on raising over a 10m profit on the player. None of these guys were a huge part of joses plan. In the meantime the money brought in from these guys has been used to balance the books for other purchases. Put it this way would you rather have kdb and 3m or matic, or lukaku and 4m or diego costa.


2.) 29 Mar 2015 16:14:46
Eto'o may not have been a world beater, but I don't think he was a bad signing. He scored some important goals and didn't do that badly for us. Indeed as you said, jury's still out on Cuadrado. Lastly, Willian is a nailed on starter most games, so can you consider him a mistake or a bad buy? You may not like his playing style, fair enough, but Mourinho clearly values him a lot so he was a good acquisition IMO.
Mourinho also didn't chase out KDB and Lukaku. Lukaku did something apparently to upset people at the club, that's why they decided to sell him. KDB made demands that the club wouldn't agree to, that's why he left.
Try not to make stuff up. I think the club's transfer dealings have been very good.


3.) 29 Mar 2015 16:23:33
I have just presented facts.
Answer to your question t.k.is I would prefer that we never signed Willian (32m£) and have KDB who is estimated on 35m£ ATM.I don't know have we made mistake with Mata and Lukaku.
Sorry I have forgotten to mention Schurrle.


4.) 29 Mar 2015 18:56:49
Dont no sometimes mata had agud last two week at united rest been shocking lukaku next not done nothing more happy having remy as back up. De bryne again not the greatest league and team is built rd him were as at chelsea not going to happen so not that interested in him also great wrk with luiz zouma great replacement don't see why everyone looking back all in all great wrk by the transfer people


5.) 29 Mar 2015 19:47:49
the success of the term is determined by how players work together and jose feels that these guys moved on weren't as good for the team as willian and I'm not ignorant enough to think I know more than jose. Also etoo came in on a free and was worth the price of his wages, and we managed to net a 4m profit on Schurrle so I'm not sure how you can't categorize that as a success.


6.) 30 Mar 2015 02:09:37
To build on what Jackson said, Mourinho didn't chase Mata out of the club. Mata refused to play the way that Mourinho wanted to and therefore wanted to leave for game time. If he hasn't been selfish and agreed to defend as well as attack then he would have had game time and most likely not been sold.

{Ed008's Note - How do you know this? Jose never gave De Bruyne or Mata a chance to establish themselves into the side.


7.) 30 Mar 2015 13:54:05
Ed008, I actually feel that Mata was given ample time and chances to establish himself in the side. He was not dropped immediately when Mourinho rejoined. He had plenty of chances be it from the bench or with starts. Either way everyone is entitled to their own opinion, however this is mine. As for Kevin De Bruyne, Ed002 explained that he made demands of the club that the club would not agree to, therefore I don't see how it was Mourinho that chased him out.

{Ed008's Note - 11 starts to establish yourself into the side? Mata joined the squad late after playing in the Confederations Cup with Spain, everyone is entitled to their opinion but when your best player for the last 2 years by a mile cannot get into the side something is wrong. The De Bruyne situation I understand Ed002 has explained it before, but he was not given a chance at all.


8.) 30 Mar 2015 13:55:43
Ed008, go and look at the number of games mata played under Jose, as your plain wrong about him. Both should've bided there time but both wanted out.

{Ed008's Note - Yeah so 11 starts between August and January is being given a chance? Of course Jose was going to accept a 40m+ bid when it was given he wasn't prepared to wait for Mata to adapt to a position he was unfamiliar with. De Bruyne wanted out as it got to the point where he wasn't even getting appearances off the bench just 2 starts under Jose, how are you supposed to impress with that? Both players were played out of position also. Both players are better then Oscar FACT.


9.) 30 Mar 2015 15:39:31
For me I always use to shout for debruyne to play. Watched him a lot and seen some peaches of goals from him. Luiz had to go for that money, same as lukaku. But mata and debruyne should be in our team right now instead of Oscar and willian.


10.) 30 Mar 2015 21:46:30
Imo I'd take Matic, Fab and Costa over Mata, KDB and Lukaku. yes I'd probably take Mata or KDB over Oscar but that isn't really how it works. Mata's and KDB's sale allowed us to afford Matic, I'm not sure selling Oscar would have generated the needed funds. Ironically I feel that if we'd had Matic from the start, Mata wouldn't have needed to track back as much as he was being asked to and therefore might not have been considered secondary to Oscar.

I also wouldn't say Willian or Eto'o didn't pay off. Eto'o scored some decent goals and he was 'free'. Willian, well everyone has their own opinions on him but if he was such a flop he wouldn't be starting 90% of games. Some of us may not like the role he plays but JM obviously does.

To Blueboy1, if we had another CM that was better defensively and we could play a high line then I'd take Mata nd KDB over Oscar and Willian but atm we need our forward players to be more defensive to cover the gaps we have at the back imo.


11.) 31 Mar 2015 00:01:36
Ed008, please don't get me wrong. I'm not even remotely trying to suggest that Mata and KDB aren't good players. I have fantastic faith in both of their abilities. However, as you mention it, 11 starts? Considering a premier league season consists of 38 games (League games only of course), 11 games is actually just short of a third of a season. I believe that plenty sufficient time to see if a player is what you as a manager want or not.

{Ed008's Note - IMO a player deserves a season under new manager to adapt to the new tactics, the style of play going forward and defending and the positioning. Oscar has been with Chelsea coming up to 3 years? Has he ever had a consistent period of games where he's dominating games like Mata did? Or better like Hazard has? He's had too many chances and now he's been dropped to the bench the last month or two because of it.


12.) 01 Apr 2015 01:16:02
Oscar is still only 23 years of age and it's probably something that the coaching team were looking to try and build within his game (Consistency). However when Mata was sold he was what? 24 I believe. Just about coming into his prime as a midfield player in my opinion and it can be difficult to change the way a player is on the pitch by this point. I quite like Oscar purely for his work rate, and when he does shine he is fantastic. However I honestly believe he will be sold in the summer and to be honest, I think that too would be the right move for the club. Whether it happens or not remains to be seen. Please don't get me wrong, I am and have always been a fan of Mata, however I do believe his sale was in the club's best interests.


13.) 01 Apr 2015 10:33:51
You need to remember that Mata was played as a winger where his actual role is AM. We sold him too quickly as Mourihni just didn't liked him. I am completely agree with you ED


 

 

28 Mar 2015 23:54:30
Banter please!
We have perfect squad to play 4141 and Mourinho is forcing 4231. We will face difficulty to win against lesser teams and that's the most important until the end of season if we want to win PL.
If we somehow manage to loose the title Mourinho must resign!
Hopefully that's not going to happen!!

nmill

1.) 29 Mar 2015 09:02:00
My god, good man. Mourinho should lose his job if we don't win the title this season? And who would you replace him with that has proven himself on the highest level?
Think before you send in a post. There aren't many (if there even are any) better options for our club than Mourinho. We're lucky to have him back, it just fits IMO.


2.) 29 Mar 2015 10:57:11
Dude that's not banter, it's stupid talk. You can't right loads of bs and tag it as banter.

Ps. Saw your post below about how Ed didn't know about Matic and Fabregas coming over and I just want to be the first to call rubbish. Although, I ll be honest and say Ed didn't give much away regarding Fabregas cause some meatheads were proven smart, but I can remember very well Ed mentioned Matic to Chelsea a week before he signed.

Like Jack said dude you should think before you post.


3.) 29 Mar 2015 11:46:57
Second that post. Ed mentioned Matic since about September 2013 as a possible target and mentioned Cuadrado as a target from the same time a year later (Sept 14). Fabregas like Remy seemed to just come out of nowhere, but I trust the input of this site over Sly Sports or the Daily Fail or BBC gossip for that matter.
Ed002 in particular is brilliant at sharing itk information and nearly every time is proven right. It's just a shame some people still spout abuse at the Eds because they don't like what they hear.


4.) 29 Mar 2015 13:31:47
Deary me Nmill, you sound like a Liverpool fan, and this is where She comes to take a break from the absolute Melons over there, please stop.

You're worse than me (if that's possible ;) )

I also wouldn't pay too much attention to formations, it's the tactics that matter.

Mourinho has his flaws, who doesn't? He's the right man.

And woah! Ed2 said we weren't interested in fabregas? Things change mate, situations change, targets change ect. From what I remember, that's the only time Ed2 has been wrong on something, only other time was when he said Lucas was Definetely leaving Liverpool, however, this was before he was getting game time, situations change buddy!

We love you Ed002


5.) 29 Mar 2015 23:25:10
Nmill have you recently taken a knock to the head mate?


6.) 29 Mar 2015 14:35:10
OK just for information, ed denied any interest in Fabregas and about Matic he was so certain that Matic is moving to Dortmund until few days before Matic signed for Chelsea.Perhaps he knew something and maybe he was told not to share information, but I very well remember what he was saying at the time.
Didn't quite understood connection to Liverpool.
We are in pole position to win PL and must not miss the title!


7.) 30 Mar 2015 12:09:44
But if you don't like or agree with the information you get on here then why come on here?


 

 

18 Mar 2015 20:31:43
Ed002 I have a question for you and perhaps you know the answer. When UEFA is calculating FFP do you know in which currency they calculate EURO or POUND?
Appreciate your answer!
Thanks!

{Ed002's Note - It is in euro.}

I wasn't expecting that! A good win tomorrow and we're flying.


 

 

14 Mar 2015 18:25:25
We have to change the way we play ATM.Our players cannot simply walk into opponents goal.

nmill

{Ed018's Note - it certainly would be nice to see some shots from the 18-25 yard range}


1.) 14 Mar 2015 19:05:01
That's why I miss Ballack and Lampard. there's only Pogba around who is in that category but his price tag is too high and I'd prefer us to give Loftus-Cheek a go.


2.) 14 Mar 2015 19:48:22
We need a player like essien when he was first bought, someone who will drive forward & bang a 25 yard screamer in like against arsenal & barca in champions league one of the best goals I've seen personally. only player I can see that being is pogba who's much better than essien was technically


3.) 15 Mar 2015 00:26:48
I am 100% with you Zola, Ballack was a beast, and in my eyes he probably was the most underrated player of the decade. Yes I know he did get some applauds but come on lads, if he was English he would have been 100 times better than lamps and gerrard wasn't he?


4.) 15 Mar 2015 00:41:45
Need someone that can carry the ball forward, something Ramires was supposed to be, we need a better ball carrier though
Ramires is good, but worries me and his constant sprinting like a headless chicken around the pitch frustrates me

Aron we don't look good last two months and I am worried!
My comment has nothing to do with ed002, my comments were about targeted players IMO none of those names is not good enough for Chelsea.
There is absolutely no reason for ed to be offended!
Each of us is entitled to have different opinion, it doesn't mean that we are enemies.
And ELI you don't really remember very well.

Well ed018 ATT according to ed002 Chelsea had no interest in Matic & Fabregas but look where are both of them now. I really hope he is wrong about our targets, since with names he pointed out we can expect to end up between 5th and 10th position at PL in the future. Very much hope he is totally wrong about resigning KDB.
Both Pogba and Koke would be great signings but if I have to chose it would be Pogba.
What we really need is left footed winger midfielder but really the world class one.
