A game of numbers

[Fearnley]

1 greedy frog, 2 players pinched from tottenham and a future England back four...interesting developments at Chelsea and some things that need working on!

Malouda has announced today that he wants to finish his final season at Chelsea before leaving for Brazil! Anyone with half a brain will work out that he is sure to play no games this season so his motives are purely money. With fascinating new signings and youngsters bracing themselves for call ups it is hard to see where flo will fit into our 25 man squad and there is no longer the option to play reserve football! In the long run it maybe beneficial to terminate the contract of this cretin and be done with the waste of space!

We have also worked wonders in stealing the likes of Marin and Oscar away from Tottenham and I am sure this is down to Emenalo and his team and of course the crown of European Champions! A lot of us have questioned the Nigerians role within our club as he seems to operate in the shadows but a quick glance at some of the talents we have brought in since his promotion and we are clearly taking a step in the right direction. Moving on to the players and for those who watched last night will note Marin was a contender for man of the match, his runs and combination play (especially with Hazard) have subdued any doubts I have had about this player. The news Oscar is close to completing a deal has also been very welcome news! This player was torte hams replacement to Modric, a player we spent much time and effort to sign last season only to fail to a stubborn chairman and what better way to repay the kindness than stealing their top transfer target. He has shown much prowess on the international stage despite his tender age and is a refreshing addition to a new look Chelsea side.

Finally, how good is it to know we could very soon be fielding Englands future back four? This obviously rests on quite a few variables but last night saw Chalobah and Kane given their first team debuts. This alongside the fact that Bertrand and Hutchinson are now pushing for first team places could see us one day with an all English back 4, proof that we are not incapable of developing players and bringing them through and the fact they are all English is testament to the time and money that has been put into the academy! How would any England manager be able to refuse a back four that all play together at one club?
