oh we'll struggle

Theres no way id be satisfied with Mandzukic as our first choice striker

heard he was on +150k

I think hes on some obscene wages though Not to mention PSG wont let him go

f**king twitter . . .

id rather see a 'kroos signs for chelsea' headline

Id really like to hear who these AMs who dont cut inside are Valencia? Downing?

As soon as i read the those first reports, blaming chelsea fans, i knew it had to be PSG ultras kicking it off. Its always like that. My hometown regularly hosts europa league teams, and i have yet to witness a fixture where home fans arent scouring the city searching for opposition fans. I have no doubts PSG fans are like that as well

no

This is a Willian thread, and naturally he will be the most discussed player. Hes not a 30m player, for me that much is clear. Im not really blaming any player for our poor form, because i think theyre all trying their best (except for Torres maybe). And i was the first one to question Oscars ability, and i dont really think his form has dipped. I think he was a flash in the pan at the start of the season.

From my own experience, in football journalism, where theres smoke theres fire. I know most of us want to disregard this story completely, but i genuinely think theres something in it. Yeah theres no legitimate proof, but these things leak from the dressing room and travel quickly. If we get Costa, im inclined to believe Jose would let Lukaku go.

Can a player be criticized on these boards without being labelled a scapegoat? You said it yourself, hes not earning his price tag. Why are you blaming Willian for our poor form? I think the problem is the combination of Willian+Oscar. 2 of our 3 AMs are basically work horses. Neither of the 2 are very creative and dont seem to be capable of unlocking defences on their own.

are we just gonna disregard the fact the ukranian league and the premier league are miles away (figuratively, and literally)?

I have a very hard time believing this

yes

We got gypped

Why did he spend 30 million on Willian and not on a striker? Willian is barely worth 20 IMO. All he has is workrate. Offers nothing in attack

shouldve brought off willian whos on a yellow

PSG have notorious ultras so if there are indeed any large scale incidents id think its more fans v fans clashes, rather than just chelsea fans going around rioting unprovoked

I think its great we can have a gk whos making the saves he should be making, for the next 15 years

Muscle injuries very rarely leave lasting consequences. It probably wasnt a tear because there wasnt any bruising (or at least it didnt appear so), so he'll most likely be completely fit in 2-3 weeks

did you really?

Id rather have Azpi than Zabaleta or Alba, without a shadow of a doubt.

i dont see what the argument is about obvious dangerous play
