AntrimBlack Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Great player, Merson, but he hardly knows what day it is, never mind making informed comments. I do love him on Sky Sports Saturday, though, unintentionally hilarious.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Merson trying to get Chelsea interested, does he hate us or something? I'm sure Mourinho often takes the advice of Paul Merson for transfer dealings. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Think he recommended Fabregas and Costa to him as Mourinho never heard of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted May 25, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 25, 2015 At least it looks like he has a little Villan! Im getting pretty sick of pictures of Sterling! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Well if Benteke is going to go to a premier league club.....I hope it's Chelsea 1. It will be good for us in terms of fee 2. It will be good for him in terms of salary and players around him 3. It will be good for Chelsea, because I think he would shine. ....but I would prefer us to build a team around him.

TRO Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Merson trying to get Chelsea interested, does he hate us or something? It's just a job...he has to earn a living.....I' m sure what he says will have no bearing on either party Wished we had a player anywhere close to him with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorset77Villa Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Benteke to Chelsea is going to ruin my summer! Neighbours are Chelsea fans and it's all they've been going on about for the last few weeks. It was the main rumour all over Stamford Bridge yesterday from all accounts. What makes it worse is the bloody champions flags displayed all over there garden, has anyone got a lighter I can borrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Nah not Chelsea, he needs to go abroad when he leaves us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 He's a fool if he goes to Chelsea. One more decent year and a good Euros and he will be the main man at a top European team. Join Chelsea in the summer and that could all fade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arj Guy Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 He would be another Remy at Chelsea. A very good striker who doesn't get much of a chance despite scoring in the few games he plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) He would be another Remy at Chelsea. A very good striker who doesn't get much of a chance despite scoring in the few games he plays He's much better than remy, i think he'd step up with ease personally, i think he'd flourish at chelsea Edited May 25, 2015 by sir_gary_cahill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Dogg Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 It'd be extremely unlikely he'd oust Costa or be played in the same team as him at Chelsea. But then Chelsea can spend a fortune on a substitute without blinking so who knows. Also when Chelsea want a player they tend to just pay what ever is asked with very little arseing about.

BOF Posted May 25, 2015 Moderator Share Posted May 25, 2015 Chelsea don't need a whole lot but they do need something up front. If they bought Benteke then it would be as much to strengthen themselves as it would be to stop a rival from getting him I think. As for his opportunities. He'd definitely play second fiddle to Costa but I think he'd play a far bigger role in the squad than Remy has. He's potentially the new Drogba. He has it all.

Zatman Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Costa cant play everyweek and Mourinho burned him out pretty early last season as didnt trust Remy and Drogba Think it be a good move for all parties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tell Roman Loadsamoneyvic to cough up £60-70m or we sell to one of the other big 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 He should not be a squad player to give Costa a rest when he needs it. He's far too good for that role. I would imagine after playing every week that would be a difficult one to be happy with. Think it would be a big mistake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) Lambert had his opportunity to join us and that bird (and our then manager) has flown. I really do not want to see Christian at Liverpool, Chelsea or at anywhere else next season and I hope Tim can persuade him that B6 remains the place to be for him next season.
