Papillon Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 showed tonight why they'll win the league, wont lose at home, will very rarely lose away and it will take something special for one of the other contenders to score let alone beat them still think they need another striker, ba and torres are shit and schurrle isn't an out and out striker tonight made the willian signing even more perplexing to me, schurrle needs to drop back in to the attacking midfield 3, that gives them schurrle, Oscar, de bruyne, mata, hazard, moses and now willian, moses will leave on loan, cant believe they'll sell mata but at the same time cant see what else they'll do with all of them I wonder if Mata is just unfit or if there is any truth in any rumors about him not being a favorite for Mourinho. I mean, what about his output? Oscar had 4 goals and 7 assists last season, Mata had 11 goals and 18 assists. Before that 6 goals and 16 assists. Oscar is very young and will only get better, but he is more of gentle passer of the ball and takes little risk. Mata has great set-pieces and a smartness to his game matches by very few in this league, so letting him go would be moronic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 see I don't think they need sturridge, same as I really don't see how rooney fits in to that team, in my mind they need a striker who just stands up front and smashes in anything that drops to him, sturridge and rooney both end up here there and everywhere, they don't need that with 3 attacking midfielders eto'o would be prefect for them, plenty of movement and pace but a proper striker, he'll be in the right place at the right time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 You don't win the league without a consistent goalscorer. Manure and Citeh are still more likely, unless Chelsea do some serious transfer business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) de bruyne hazard lampard ramires Oscar van ginkel willian chalobah mceahran schurrle moses mata mikel essien new kid coming in from porto, Luiz could be classed as a DMC and kakuta, marin and romeu are out on loan, taking the piss chalobah needs to get out of there as soon as possible he's not going to get a sniff, mceachran will end up a decent championship player at best, hasn't played enough football Edited August 28, 2013 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) 0957: Ben Smith, BBC SportFOOTBALL "Chelsea expect to complete a deal for Anzhi Makhachkala striker Samuel Eto'o in the next 24 hours. "The 32-year-old will join the Premier League club on a free transfer and sign a one-year-deal. Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho made his move for Eto'o after seeing two bids rejected for Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney. "Earlier this week, it emerged Rooney was not prepared to force a move to Stamford Bridge by handing in a formal transfer request, effectively ending Chelsea's hopes of signing the England striker. From the BBC, have a feeling he isn't going to cut it. Edited August 29, 2013 by Tamuff_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 might be past it but will offer more a goal threat than BA and Torres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 29, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 29, 2013 I think he could be very good in front of the many faces in their midfield. They need a poacher; a finisher. It will be put on a plate for him by those behind him and if he can do anything it's put the ball in the net. I think he could surprise. He won't run 10 miles per game but he could be Line-acre mark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I don't see the point in signing Eto'o, they may as well just get Drogba and be done with it. Feel worried for Lukaku, think he needs to orchestrate himself an escape plan, he's good enough for first team football and not getting it could lead to bad things.

TrentVilla Posted August 29, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 29, 2013 Plus seemingly the manager wants E'to'o. He is a player I always wanted to see in English football, shame it is so late in his career but I will enjoy watching him for year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voinjama Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I would have liked to see Lukaku given a chance, but it appears he is 4th choice forward now they have the signed the Cameroonian hitman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted August 29, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 29, 2013 Yeah the thinking seems to be that Ba is all but done there and will be one of the first names out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I bet they wish they had Sturridge back. Easy to be a star at Liverpool and nearly impossible to be the same at Chelsea. He was the exact same player there, he had lots of good games, but we are talking about a team trying to win the Premier League and the Champions League, not trying to win the Carling Cup and finish 6th. Sturridge isn't good enough for a top 4 team and that's why he is thrown out, he is too hot and cold and is easy to mark out when being handled correctly. Not very smart in build-up, not a poacher and generally too limited IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
