What is it about the English FA that they reward failure. Did they not learn with the Capello farce. Do any of the English here think this is a good move for your under 21's. My link

This is the first time I've seen this. Like everyone else Loz, wishing you all the best and hope everthing gets sorted soon, and we seeing you posting again.

40 I think would be excessive and if it went to that I hope the club don't go through with it. I can see the firgure being 30M in the current climate. Modric is a player I like and had hoped we could have got him last season but we shouldn't be held to ransom by dirty Spurs.

Or is the club saying, "he's for sale, but we are not letting him away dirt cheap."

Who would agree to this? Bollicks

This is the one signing I wanted us to make last summer, and if not him, then Benayoun. Hopefully Yossi can have better luck with injuries next season. According to 'arry Moric is going nowhere. My link

That was quick Mod. Thanks,

Mod would you have the total votes in the season handy. If it's too much bother don't worry about it. My guess would be that Ramires and Cech would feature highly.

I'm going with this. Don't much like him but that's hardly important. I think he'd bring a good balance of flair and steel to the team.

Would agree Andreas. Although I think he made a meal of the Del Horno incident, generally I think he tries to keep on his feet. Two of the worst I think are Alves and Xavi, hate both those cheating f**ks.

'arry may bring Robbie with him. Enough to give you nightmares Scott.

Don't really rate him. Good patch at the start of the season but I'd hate to give Arsenal money for what would be a Chelsea squad player.

How long ago did Wenger make the statement about 2nd not being a disaster for Arsenal, 2/3 weeks, backing it up about the money other clubs spend. He assumed that either 1st or 2nd was theirs; arrogant fool. I think he is now in a fight for 4th. Would he consider that a disaster. Mr Wenger, at least eight seasons between silverware is a disaster for any so called top club. I really think he'll go at the end of the season but I hope not. I enjoy too much his scowling face when his team once again crumble.

Are we really the home team here. looking very nervy. Fear an equaliser coming.

£12M, there's not a f**king chance. I'd say 6 would be tops should he go.

Essien looking something like his old self. JT give his usual steady performance. Kalou run his heart out the first half and caused them trouble. Luiz; what a breath of fresh air to the club. MOM Ramires, tireless work in midfield and added much needed pace in attack, all rounded off with a superb goal.

Good player, but is he really that good. Had a few big games in big matches but I think he has been greatly over-hyped. If he came at around 25/30, then OK.

Bighead :D

My vote to Luiz. Ramires was excellent as well and I thought Yuri give us that extra pace down the left when he came on, which we have missed this last while.

Not that impressed with our first half. We should be distroying this team. Very laboured and too slow getting the ball from our mid field to the attack. At least we are 1-0 up and Torres looking lively. Hope his touch comes back soon. Really need a win and hopefully a comfortable one.

Several things have impressed me with Josh the few times I've seen him play. The way he finds space, control, acturacy of pass etc. What he has in his game which I feel we are really lacking at the moment is his speed of pass. It's usually quick control and a sharp pass. At the moment we are so laboured in mid-field and be the time we get the pass away the other team have read it. So I'm all for Josh starting on Tuesday night and lets see some urgencey in our passing.

With his experience I doubt he's going to change now. In truth Chelsea are now playing like the AC Milan team he left.

Probably between Ramires and Paulo. Give it to Paulo as he done well considering his lack of football.

I think whoever is managing next season will have their work cut out for them. Old palyers will have to go but it may be difficult to bring in new with our current form. A new manager I believe would also be reluctant to use are own young players, setting them back for another season. If it was RA intension to change manager I would rather he done it now rather than wait to the summer.

Awful performance. I'm now beginning to think that there is something wrong inside the camp, all does not appear well. Just no heart shown out there and for all the pocession we do not create enough clear chances. Why are so many players off form. Lamps, Essien, Drogba, Malouda, Nico?, Ash. It's all very depressing and must hinge on Carlo. Hate to say this but we are beginning to look like Liverscum.
