Lane

meh, everyones been expecting it really

What in gods name are you on about?!! If you arent on the 'anti Torres bandwagon' then theres something wrong with you, or you just like to see Chelsea fail 19 league goals in 105 apperances. Thats inexcusable . . . or is it still Maloudas fault?

The Palace game was the straw that broke the camels back and finally no expense will be spared when it comes to getting a new striker

I dont think our wide play is a problem at all. Azpi is a decent crosser of the ball. Willian, Hazard and Schurrle can put in good crosses as well. The only weak link is Ivanovic who is a hit or miss, but a good striker will convert some of Ivanovics crosses into goals. Our main problems are keeping possession in centre midfield and obviously, our strikers.

Costa himself can activate the clause, so el Atleti still have no say in the matter

Because theyre in a poor financial situation Even if they dont want to sell, Costa has a release clause

My answer would be the same as everybody elses, Shaw and Barkley, so im not even gonna bother responding

Why are some people obsessed with this? What top team still plays with 'traditional wingers'? Thats stone age football, something the likes of Moyes is striving for

No one is forgetting that

I think this performance has really tipped the scale for Jose when it comes to certain players Mainly Luiz and Torres. I doubt those 2 will last the summer

Mihajlovic scored 3 free kicks in a single match

So? Are we just gonna disregard 9 good matches prior to this one?

If anything we have too much grit

ouch

A striker in form, young, reasonable price, fits our playstyle . . . such an obvious choice. I keep imagining starting the next season with him leading our line and it sounds too good to be true. SOmethings bound to go wrong

Huge mistake! 5 million more and we wouldve had HIguain.

I never said we dont need a striker. Anyone with a brain can see theres a gaping hole upfront for us. Plenty of people have said our midfield is good enough to make up for our poor strikers though. Its not. Even after buying a striker, we could use a midfielder or 2.

If we had a proper striker we wouldnt be in a situation where a surprise loss to Palace completely derails our title challenge. Every week im watching our title rivals' strikers singlehandedly win points

Nasri, Coutinho and Eriksen are definitely better than Oscar. They maybe dont defend as well as him, but i think wed be a better team with any one of them playing instead of Oscar

i cant believe what he did there Turning around and attempting to chip it over the keeper . . . his confidence is non existent, for ours and his sake we need to part ways ASAP

Woul you be so kind as to put me on ignore and dont ever reply to my posts again?

Yes, I do, that why i so explicitly said it, right?!

Lampard is past it Luiz is not a natural CM, and it shows Schurrle cant do anything against teams that defend deep Oscar is overrated For me, Matic and Hazard are the only midfielders who are good enough to start week in week out

jesus f**king christ there still 40 minutes to play
