Liverpool supposedly trying to get Gary Cahill

http://twitpic.com/80vddv

Just to add as I've said in the Liverpool thread I think it's a load of bollocks.
Sounds like an agent ploy if the personal terms with Chelsea have stalled.

I'd say Chelsea are still odds on to sign him.

Apparently he is wanting 100k a week and we are offering 70K. Outrageous but Ferreira is on 90K himself and he hardly ever plays himself. I'm sure they will find a compromise based on appearances etc

and he doesnt fancy it down south! Well feck it, Pool can have him.
Another Carroll waiting to bite them I reckon!
Sure we might have to pay more upfront, but I reckon we can get the same or better quality for 70k a week!

Isn't that what clubs are trying to get away from paying 90k a week to subs?

Why are you assuming cahill would be a sub, I think the idea is to pair him with terry as the two work well toghether and put ivanovich to RB.

I have never been a huge fan of cahill but chelsea do need a new CB badly, the good thing about him is that he won't need 6-12 months to adjust like a foreign defender might. Chelsea need a player that can go straight in and he fits the bill. He won't be everybodies cup of tea but IMO it would be a clever signing.

I'm not assuming anything.

I'm on record on this thread several times saying Cahill would be a good signing for Chelsea.

The Sgt said Ferreira is on 90k per week and that's what i was referrring to.
And he is a sub more often than not?

IMO Cahill will slot right in to play next to John Terry

Yeah, ferreira is crazy really, I think he has played only a couple of times this season. Crazy to sign him on a long contract but thats chelssea for ye

AVB made a very good point in an interview that, yes Cahill had been part of a collective that was bad, but that at Chelsea it is hoped that he will be part of a good defensive collective that would allow the individual to shine. You shouldnt really have bad defenders as you are supposed to defend as a unit.
It could be Terry and Carvalho all over again, but this time with Terry as the seasoned old pro showing the young Cahill the way to go.

Like many chelsea, i am on the fence with Cahill, but we should be positive the bloke hasnt even joined yet and we are writing him off, but it could be the beginning of a beautiful partnership!

He's young and probably the future of england, and hopefully chelsea.
He will get a fair few games I reckon - could be a bargain, and last season was held in high regard, just this season Bolton are ****e all round!

Said it before - but this is exciting -we are finally building a new chelsea, better than it was before, better, faster..etc etc........:D

Yes, in my shock I forgot to mention the big good news story of the day. Delighted for him.

smuckers · 31-12-2011 3:37pm

Delighted for Sam.

Think Torres will start Mon. c'mon you blues!:)

Sgt Pepper 64 · 31-12-2011 3:55pm

after Utd result, must take 3 points today

Gileadi · 31-12-2011 4:10pm

Any decent streams for the game lads?

Johner · 31-12-2011 4:23pm

DROGBA 150TH GOAL! LEGEND!

Johner · 31-12-2011 4:23pm

Keeper should have saved it.

smuckers · 31-12-2011 4:25pm

Fuck sake

MUSEIST · 31-12-2011 4:31pm

I didn't see that coming, oh wait no I did, in fact I was sure it would come. Typical of chelsea this season:(

Sgt Pepper 64 · 31-12-2011 4:31pm

and that's why we need cahill

Sgt Pepper 64 · 31-12-2011 4:35pm

cmon chelsea, get a result and let me enjoy Utd losing!

abelard · 31-12-2011 4:35pm

Conceding almost instantly after we scored. Again.

Probably just grind the rest of the match away now to another 1-1 draw....

That's pretty much this season so far anyway.

Johner · 31-12-2011 4:42pm

Romeu is playing well. That's about it.

MUSEIST · 31-12-2011 4:48pm

Usual ****e from chelsea, we will lose this. Wait and see, another sloppy goal and its 1-2.:(

Agree. The penalty was our only real chance of the game, I can't remember the Villa keeper being forced into a save today at all. Chelsea look lazy, no spark in the game at all everything seems laboured.

Very frustrating to watch.

Jagera · 31-12-2011 5:16pm

romeu off, lampard on.. madness.

edit: and now torres. for sturridge. god help me!!

abelard · 31-12-2011 5:21pm

RVP just scored for Arsenal too, making anything but a win a very nasty outcome.

Johner · 31-12-2011 5:22pm

Super effort by Torres.

homer simpson · 31-12-2011 5:29pm

Just what does Meriles be thinking. Thats 3 times he has picked up the ball 30 odd yards out and 3 times he has tried a shot and skyed it ... not even close to being on target.

AVB said no radical overhaul this Jan and I agree, it would be madness.
Overpaying again, Jan is not the time to buy

The Modric piece in the Telegraph intimated that any move would only come into the frame at the end of the season (Modric wants to see how it pans out with Spurs over the full season). January seems to be ruled out.

jcf · 31-12-2011 5:32pm

Seems like more of the same rubbish today
Must be a record amount of concurrent draws
Rubbish

Sgt Pepper 64 · 31-12-2011 5:35pm

avb said he wanted cahill sorted. then look at the forward situation. reckon we will need a forward or a playmayer just to finish top four! don't care as it won't matter about being cup tied

Sgt Pepper 64 · 31-12-2011 5:35pm

bose close, pressure building

smuckers · 31-12-2011 5:36pm

Drogs should have done better there, great play from Torres

Sgt Pepper 64 · 31-12-2011 5:37pm

pls pls torres, show some class

homer simpson · 31-12-2011 5:41pm

don't you know.....

Johner · 31-12-2011 5:41pm

****ing ****

mike65 · 31-12-2011 5:41pm

AVB out?, would be 3 points from last possible 12.

wonderboysam · 31-12-2011 5:41pm

homer simpson · 31-12-2011 5:42pm

horrible ...horrible stuff. Should have been a pen just beofre the goal and the defending was as shocking as i've seen for the goal. Shocking shocking stuff. I'm off for a drink.

smuckers · 31-12-2011 5:42pm

sick of this ****

Jagera · 31-12-2011 5:43pm

deserved lead for villa.

chelsea have zero formation. no penetrating through the middle or out wide.
terrible subs again, like against fulham.
