  1. It's time to cash in and sell. The biggest spender for him will only have this Summer as their opportunity due to the looming transfer embargo. Sell Hazard for £30-40mil (his market value has gone right down this season due to him being rubbish). Let's buy lots of reinforcements ala Tottenham style with the Bale cash. We need squad depth.
  2. I don't understand your post. Can you write it in English first? I hope that we will get a decent result tonight, but I can't see the team doing it on the current forms of both. Perhaps the best we can aim for is a sneaky set piece own goal that gives us a fighting chance at the Bridge.
  3. Our form this season has been nothing short of horrific, and an unbeaten run under Hiddink is doing nothing to paper over the fact that we are terrible. I always said that if we were to draw one of the European heavyweights assuming we progressed past the group stage, we would be embarrassed. PSG are in another class this season. PSG 5-0 Chelsea Better to go out now rather than play Barcelona or Bayern. I also believe that Terry coming back is going to be a burden. I would rather Ivanovic got shifted into the middle with Dave playing at right back. The team looks better offensively when Ivanovic isn't running up the wing and doing nothing with the ball. Hazard is also terrible at the moment. If we are to get anything out of the game I'd rather we see this team: Courtois Dave -- Cahill -- Ivan -- Rahman Loftus-Cheek -- Fabregas Willian -- Oscar -- Pedro Costa Give Pedro some time as he'll be sky high after his performance on Saturday, although he still needs to learn how to finish properly and control the ball. Mikel has to stay out of the side if any of us want to see any kind of urgency. Hazard will be better coming off the bench than offering nothing for 90 minutes. Terry will be looking slow coming back from that niggly injury.
  4. The biggest regret is most definitely allowing Cech to leave for Arsenal. I fully agree that he was entitled to move to anywhere he wished after the outstanding service he provided the club, but allowing anyone leave for Arsenal borders on heresy. I wish I could wish him all the best for his career, but I hope he fails miserably now.
  5. Has Drogba taken his coaching badges? The club could do worse. He knows football inside and out and the club especially so. A management team consisting of Drogba, assisted by Zola/Lampard and eventually Terry would be good. Why should we conform to having one manager? Chelsea should buck the trend and have multiple managers to share the burden.
  6. Is he the answer to our striking needs? With Remy, Pato, Falcao and potentially Costa all leaving come the end of the season, our striking options go from mediocre to non-existent in the space of one season. In reality, Chelsea have been crying out for a real striker ever since we lost prime Drogba. Bebé has pace and drive, and in addition to a real quality signing to be our main striker, he could be a decent backup to be brought on once a game is under control. He's going to be cheap and will want to make a point in the Premier League after his first stint. Ideally next season our front line would consist of something like: Costa, Carroll and Bebé. A striker for every style.
  7. Just because it happened once it doesn't mean it will necessarily happen again. I've already stated that it would be hard to get Levy to approve the transfer, but Kane is young and even if Tottenham get CL football next season and we don't, Chelsea are still a bigger club. Plenty of players have gone to lesser performing clubs for £.
  8. Why we always seem to struggle against Newcastle I have no idea, but I suspect it'll be another lackluster performance with us inevitably conceding and going on to lose the game 0-1. Hiddink's run will have to end soon. The unbeaten tag doesn't paper over the fact the team have still been awful. Why is there no urgency? The top 4, whilst incredibly unlikely, isn't out of reach for sure. Anyone can beat anyone in this league. The teams above will drop points. A few wins can see us approaching the top 6 with ease.
  9. Because Kane can be tempted by money, even if it will be a struggle to convince Levy to part with him. Valencia look incredibly unlikely to get into the CL under Neville's tenure.
  10. He should come back. Twice Player of the Year and his link up with Hazard and Oscar was a joy to behold. Say what you like about Benitez, but the style of play between those 3 under him was verging on orgasmic at times. Oscar to right mid, Hazard to the left, Mata in the middle. Willian to come on as an impact sub and tear tired defenses absolutely ragged.
  11. Here is a list of players that I think can help the club stand on its feet again: - Negredo - Isco - Modric - Yaya Toure - Kane - Mata - Varane - Andy Carroll
  12. To add to the above, I also think we should pounce for Negredo from Valencia in the Summer too.
  13. I expect come the end of the season, Pato, Falcao and Costa will be leaving. The lack of CL football next season means none of them are going to want to stick around, and with the first 2 only here on loan it means the club will be severely lacking in the striking department. I think the club should try and sign Harry Kane. The team desperately needs an injection of pace and urgency, and the fact he's English will also be great.
  14. I would love to see great players back at the club in a coaching or managerial capacity. Babayaro would be a good start.
  15. Good luck, Ramires. Always tried his hardest here and obviously will always be remembered for the chip. Rewatching that goal against Barcelona, the assist from Lampard still befounds me. Perfect weight on the ball, great vision to see Ramires running down that line, great technique and he did all of it whilst going to ground. Superb.
  16. We're still yo-yo'ing up and down in terms of form at the moment. I don't fancy us against an in form Arsenal team, but I'd donate every organ possible to make sure that Arsenal lose. They have the smuggest, most arrogant and cuntiest fans in all the land and need putting down. They're even worse than Liverpool. Hopefully Costa can continue his goal scoring form and we can nick another draw.
