Should have signed Lukaku tbh

Was just thinking that there used to be a repeatedly-banned cretin on here who used to go on about signing Carroll. Say, I wonder if he's here currently under a new guise?

David Squires is a hack

ShiningLight is genuinely a horrendous poster. The only time he (she?) seems to post is when his alt account has been banned, and he only seems to look like he's put in a decent performance because his competition on the same forum are posting terribly. I for one can't wait until he/she leaves the forum. Hopefully he/she'll join splishsplosh in internet purgatory.

Maybe it's because you are gloating in defeat... which is more or less what you'd expect from a WUM / non-Chelsea fan.

Bolton legend Ivan Klasnic is also out of contract

They need replacement centre backs either way, they've already lost Distin and Alcaraz in this transfer window; their only backup to Jagielka and Stones is Brendan Galloway and Tyias Browning, who are 19 and 21 respectively. It's not as if the transfer market is swimming with decent options at centre back either (as Man Utd have found out). I'm wondering whether they'll sell us Stones, but keep him on loan for a season while they sort themselves out at the back.

SkyBet are now offering 2/1 on us signing Cambiasso

It's all a smokescreen to cover our quiet pursuit of Varane.

Well Benitez has previous with Real, I suppose that might be a factor. Presumably they are gunning for another Champions League win, they won't stand much of a chance in La Liga with Benitez in charge. Then again Ancelotti is hardly a master of league football (despite the double with us); I guess the same logic applies.

Friedel? Vorm? Schwarzer? Hamer? Hennessey? Half the teams in the league have backups who are better than Green, Tottenham have f**king two! We have the added lure of actually being in contention for trophies.

He's been consistently pretty poor in the Premier League, goes through patches of good shot-stopping but that's about it. Our game against QPR was a pretty good illustration of how his all-round game is lacking. Plus we will be playing at European level too, where he has no experience at all. We will have an unreliable backup goalkeeper with a history of errors. Simply not good enough for a team that wants to be challenging on all fronts. If Courtois got a serious injury we would be f**ked. He has definitely not been tested at international level, he has a handful of caps and one World Cup appearance, and was so awful that he was immediately dropped. We won't get anyone as good as Cech, but I never actually said that did I?

He's not really proven at this level I think the key word there is 'hopefully', Green is not good enough for Chelsea

You've just described John Obi Mikel
