Chelsea FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 10/11 (mod warning in post #7124)

A Chelsea player stood on Heung-Min Son's foot yesterday and broke his metatarsal. 2 months out.
I hate you guys now.

Good luck on Sunday though.
Anyone but Man Yoo.

Panthro

not one to put a downer on the Blues, but was reading on Goal.com that Carlo reckons we are still a good 2weeks from being ready for the start of the season.
hopefully, the pre-season games will not put a dent in the team confidence.

Ryan Bertrand has joined Nottingham Forest on loan until January.

Some reports in the press that now the Ramires deal is nearly done, negotiations are on-going with Benfica for David Luiz.

Blackburn lost all their preseason in 1995 before going on to win the league. The results of these games are meaningless, its all about getting players match fit and ready for when it does matter.

DazMarz

It really doesn't matter when the Chelsea players start to play... until 14th August!!!

Or even 8th August, as I wanna see them lifting the Community Shield!!!

smuckers

Chelsea team confirmed for Sunday

Hilario
Terry
Ivan
Cole
Ferreria
Lamps
Mikel
Essien
Kalou
Malouda
Anelka

Panthro

not a bad team there.
can we put Terry in goal though?!
Oh how i would love if Hilario had a fantastic game for us.

Fiskar

Put Terry in goal if Rio does likewise.

Don't hold out for much with Hilarious in goal, might be his last chance to shine.

Eamo87

Just wondering lads, where do yee stand when it comes to the community shield? Do you feel its important to win or is it just a friendly?

Gonzovision

It's a game against United, so it's a must win for me

Fiskar

Has to be won to set a precedent for the season ahead and the unbeaten run.

Barr

Betfair have chelsea favourites at 2.74. Utd are 2.92 to win.

Joe Cole -> Yossi Benayoun
Michael Ballack -> Ramires
Deco -> ?

Do you think we'll replace him or will he be replaced with one of the youngsters?

Gonzovision

I've a feeling it will be youngsters

Johner

Yeah I reckon no more signings.

Lukker-

If Carletto is to believed I think we are looking at 1 more player especially if Carvalho leaves

The whole affair is quite depressing, it hurts to have Chelsea weakened so much this summer, when there are players out there that could offer us so much

Gonzovision

Disappointing result. To be honest I'd say we are about 2 weeks behind United in general fitness. Cole and Terry looked well off the pace. Ivanovic was solid. Becoming one of the best defenders in the world. Ferriera shouldn't be playing at this stage, great servant for the club,but his time is up. Horrible positioning from Hilario for Uniteds 3rd.

Mikel did alright first half. Played a great ball through to Kalou. Essien is really looking to come back to his best. Lampard looks short on fitness too. Malouda was one of our best players.

Anelka didn't offer much. Kalou bar his goal was poor, lost a lot of ball. Drogba is still not fit. Sturridge looked bright. Very direct and effective., should have scored though.

Not sold on Yossi, hasn't done anything yet but it will take time.

A good win next week and all will be forgotten though.

Hopefully Ramires deal will be sorted soon. I think we have to forget about signing anyone else and just get behind the squad we have. Will be a tough season.

I came in here expecting that monkey fella to be in the midst of a nervous breakdown. I'm a bit disappointed.

Wouldn't worry if I was ye lads, it was barely above the pace of a friendly for the most part and all the substitutions made it a bit of a non-event. I'm glad to get the win and all that but it'll be forgotten by this time next week. Ye're still favourites for the Prem.

I am not worried at all. We were second best today, fitness did not look right especially lamps, terry and cole. Every single player except hilario in the starting lineup today was at the world cup and have only been training for less than 2 weeks now.

I thought we were good when we upped the tempo, we always looked like we might score.
The need for ramires isobvious in midfield.I think he will fit in like this. Drop mikel.

essien

----ramires---lamps---
kalou---drogba---malouda
We are only going to improve from here as eveyone gets fitter and ramires joins.

I also think we need another defender if carvalho goes.

bah ! worthless trophy tbh ....
put it this way if 4 months ago someone had said : Chelsea double winners but only RU in the Community shield --- I SIGN!!!

Just hope we can cop on for next weekend, we reached a peak at the end of last season, if we continued from there we would have been unbeatable, but this WC 2010 (Damn that tournament to HELL!) has traumatised our english lads....

Gonzovision

I wouldn't say drop Mikel at all. He's doing a decent job in that position and his passing has come on a lot. Hit a few lovely balls today that split Uniteds defence open, only for it was Kalou on the end of them. I have a feeling it will be a good season for him. Essien offers more from the position he played in the first half.

Although I admit that line up you have Musiet is very probable when Ramires joins. Mikel will still get plenty of game time.

Johner

The better side won today, thought Kalou was very poor.

MUSEIST

Sturridge was more effective than anelka, althought sturridge was up against evans, nuff said.

Essien pass for sturrige was epic, thats what we missed last season.:D

Ancellotti said we would sign 2 players, ramires is one, any ideas who the other is or might be?

Gonzovision

Make or break for Soloman this season. Showed what he can do at the end of last season, but has to do it on a consistent basis. Mentally I'm not sure if he's good enough to make it. Poor decisions and lack of concentration ruin his game.

Johner

Kalou was playing great stuff towards the end of last season, but today he was back to the Kalou of old. I'm really hoping he has another good season but he is not one to rely on. Anyway with Ramires coming in I don't think Kalou will be starting a lot.

Was just taking the p*ss out of the article - it mentions his left foot about a million times.:pac:

Gonzovision

I'd say he has a good left foot though

The only positive I can take from it is that it shows we can't expect to win the CL with the current squad (after letting so many people go) without making another signing. I just hope Roman is paying attention.

Essien

Just getting the losses out of the way.
