Di Maria at Madrid, the Chelsea team is designed with a very boring tactic of everybody defend bar hazard who gets to float about.

The only players as a united fan that I'd take is courtois, hazard and fabregas. You take fabregas out of Chelsea and their won't be much penetration. Do you watch French football every week I don't but from what I've seen of pastore wouldn't rate him lower than hazard.

French football is hardly a worthy comparison, after first 10 games this season everyone was singing chelsea praises, attacking flair.

Truth is the chelsea team are designed to win, trophies.

Wouldn't call my opinion a losing battle, Belgian players got overhyped a couple of seasons ago just like the English do and most haven't lived up to it. Not trying to convert people, but trying to liven up this thread.

My brother in law who is a Chelsea once claimed that they play tiki taka, Jose mourinho thinks we call them boring coz of them being top of the league for the season. The start of the season they relied on the Easter Island head himself Diego Costa, it's all well and good playing football against terrible teams and then park the bus against your rivals.

Chelsea don't play tiki taka, they play dull football like Moyes had Utd playing. I would rather lose attacking then win like Chelsea.

But I would say that is the perfect way to win a league, smash the ****e out of the small ones and stifle, frustrate and annoy the big ones

Jose mourinho must be thinking he's playing in this league after saying, Eden hazard will cost 200 million if Madrid want him. Hazard is good but pricing him like he's Messi, good luck with that.

Incorrect.....


What he actually said was, '200m + Ronaldo'

You'd take Courtois even though we have De Gea and ignore Matic who would easily be our best midfielder and a proper box to box player the exact type of player we have been missing for years?

Hazard, Matic and Azpi would be the 3 players that would instantly turn us into a contender again. We have competition for Cesc's position and certainly on goal too!

decided to entertain myself in other ways (relax Swoody!!!!!!)

I've a few players I want to sell on, decent ones due rises.... So after every game I'll post up a name and if I get an offer good enough before the next game I'll sell....

Offers can be for youth prospects or....


wait for it...



sit down first......

CASH!




First up, BOILESEN, Nicolai pretty much the starting fullback for Ajax these days and a full international, Ajax captain too a few times this season....


Offer away, if something catches my eye before the next game I'll sell up

Colemania

Good to see almost all the promoted teams in all divisions doing pretty well! All in the top half or not far off the top 10

Al Capwned

We beat Juve.

Result.

tupac_healy

Boilesen sold quicker than I thought so with that in mind next player up is...

Will listen to offers on him until after the next league game



Again, will do CASH! OMG!!!
