Chelsea thread

yea there were 12 or so mins after the reading game where cech and cudicini got injured but you dont see that alot at all

poor drogba, hope he recovers quick, that looked bad

so we signed Usiles Davila. admittedly i know little about him. hes a mexican under 20 international, can play attacking mid or as a forward.

North London - w*nk, w*nk, w*nk...North London - w*nk, w*nk, w*nk.  You live for weekends like this! Jose's Dog2011-08-29 08:56:47

stupid international break now, dumb. still, gives cech time to recover, should be ok in time for man utd. david luiz resumed full training last week so thats a positive too. if we had a game this weekend drogba too may have been in doubt

what did others think of drogba and torres up front together? there were some positive moments i thought, i think, given time, it could work. and the thing with our other strikers is that they can play in a front 3 so gives some more options off the bench

la la la mata is boss.

 
yup. his passing was nice, accurate and most importantly it was quick. quick passes in the opposition 3rd is what we have been lacking so i think hes guna bring alot to the team.

his speed to pounce on the loose pass and finish calmly was real impressive

Heard from my son who was at the game Saturday...... rumour has it  that Anelka and Malouda may be moving..????????????

 

 was so nice watching both games

Rumour has it most of the Arsenal squad are now for sale - on e-bay!

righteo, here we go

Meireles; Reasonable addition, not overly excited by this but good to add a bit more depth to central midfield.

Yossi; Not often you see loans between the top four clubs, he was quite unlucky last year, started well but then injured his achillies. had he been fit he would most likely have played a decent amount given our lack of depth in midfield last season.

Kakuta; Very good move for him going to bolton. will hopefully see some decent game time under owen coyles attacking system. sturridge did well there last season so hoping kakuta does the same.

Van Aanholt; A loan move to another prem outfit is ideal for him. has been loaned to championship sides in the past and done well but its a big step up to the prem league. im sure at wigan he will have lots of work to do on defense as well.

Davila; Off to vitesse, where we send a lot of youngsters. needs to acclimatise to european football so a good move for him.

got to say i was resonably happy here, got some more depth and a great player in mata. makes us look lots strogner

yes depth is something we were sorely lacking last season. we had the likes of maceachran and kakuta on the bench for quite a few games and whilst very talented it was asking alot of them to come on in big games and help swing the result.

hearing bosnigwa is going to be benched tonight

well, we are quietly going about our business. another 3 points.

was really good to see sturridge score, i get the feeling hes going to really take his chance and cement himself in the team. his energy and work rate looked really good too

....agree,   ....big test on Saturday will show us where we are at...!!!!!!

So apparently Torres has come out criticizing other players in the squad. Hes hardly in a position to be doing the criticizing is he. 

good lad, agent fernando.

its been a while since a team without JT and Lamps, like what i was seeing early from mata, torres and meireles before i had to leave for work. 

really happy with that result, look forward to watching that tonight.

mata is just the man.

yea i only saw the first 10 mins or so before i left for work but he was already looking very impressive 

those 2 goals were lovely. really nice work from luiz in the lead up to his and a really top finish. mata was good throughout and really did deserve a goal. stoked to see torres set both up, will do his confidence the world of good. mata's goal especially was a nice assist, could easily have shot himself, very unselfish.

....yes ,good result, Torres did play well but Germans had a few good chances score [ Ballack miss a sitter].....Only TEAM from England to win in Europe this week

great to get Luiz back, him and terry should play together tonight.. hope we can get a result. thinking a draw.. but going to be a really hard game

fifty million dollars.... can't score a goal a five year old would!!!

Lol Torres

is that Lampards last game......way off the pace today

that was a strange game, best we have looked all season and we somehow find ourselves down 3-0 at halftime. the smalling goal should really have been called offside, was pretty obvious but that happens.

Gutted I missed the game just because of this^

unbelievable. I actually just feel sorry for him. How the mighty have fallen...

Apparently they are making a new Mr.Men book based on Torres. It's called Mr. Sitter.

What's the difference between Fernando Torres and Wayne Bridge? John Terry appreciates Wayne Bridge's missus.

I'm going out tonight dressed as Fernando Torres. I'm not planning to score.
