Not sure i agree with that like, think he's more suited to PL than any other major league the pace of it suits him perfectly i feel. Whether he suits Chelsea or not i dont know but i reckon he suits the PL down to the ground, as long as he's played out wide and not as a CF as you take away so much from his game in the centre IMO. More than I don't rate him that highly than anything else like. Always strikes me as a bit of a YouTube player, greedy as owt n all. Saying that he was blinding against Denmark t'other day. Oh right fair enough.

Thats the spirit

And i do doubt Marin is being bought to start..... especially with how well Ramires has performed on the right recently i expect them to line up like this.... Cech Ivanovic Luiz Terry Cole Lampard Mikel Ramires Hazard Mata Torres But there is the Hulk rumors so it could change, Roman playing fantasy football again

They are giving him 110k a week i doubt thats much more than the other 2 were offering if at all.....

Chelsea will finish in the top 4 and Spurs 6th so i disagree

Well thats that then.... said it before and i'll say it again now its official.... if Torres cant score with Hazard and Mata behind him theres serious issues

Please Happen Please ! Jinxed it now. What you talking about? i posted nothing

Why do you think all of those players f***ed off? Combination of money and not enough hype or recognition in France..... Ligue 1 is a very good standard of league its no Eredivisie its probably the 5th best league in the world anyone that performs there consistently i would have confidence in performing in La Liga, Serie A or EPL.... I use the word consistently for a reason because there has been a few one season wonders over the years like Gignac.... It is a very good league though, i mean half of our team came from there at some point lol.

As far as Potential and Talent goes Hazard is up there with the likes of Neymar as young forwards in world football And he's probably more complete and proven than Neymar..... so to answer the question yes he is good infact very good. Also i would'nt usually advise basing how good someone is or could be on assist or goals return.... Messi's goal return was'nt that great at the same age either..... not for one minute saying he's in that bracket but both Ronaldo and Messi didnt really explode until around 21 or 22 anyway. This has been the season where Hazard exploded and i do expect him to get worldwide recognition come the end of the upcoming season.

Not having Williamson and Simpson in front of you will do that to a goalkeeper. Yeah i would expect if we are able to entice Debuchy and Mbiwa/Douglas to join in the summer you would see Krul pass the ball out from the back a lot more than he has done this season. I would'nt have any confidence in Simpson and Williamson either

Valbuena? wouldnt suprise me as Blanc loves him but he would be an extremely safe option as like Nasri he keeps position well but doesnt really try anything extraordinary to break down defences.... As for the 4-4-1-1 idea i do find it very doubtful but at the same time i wouldnt be suprised to see it used against teams that will play extremely defensively against them i.e group stages.

He had a great season this year, league and Europe. Would'nt go that far he was a bit shit before the Semi's against Barca..... was fantastic in the semis and final mind.

Nasri did what Nasri always does.... links up play, keeps possession well and keeps the moves flowing and didnt take any real risks to effect the game in the attacking third. Although i think Ben Arfa could do a better job than Nasri can in the central role i have a feeling if France go with 4-2-3-1 then Ribery will play on the left, Nasri in the centre and Ben Arfa will battle with Menez for the spot on the right. Whether that's the right decision or not i think that's what Blanc will do.

Hazard " I have finally decided to take my talents to Kings Road "

Yup, he is obviously very talented but is ultimately unproven outside of Ligue 1, as was Chamakh. NB I'm not predicting him to be as poor as Chamakh it's just to illustrate the point. I was about to point out that Chamakh was'nt even a success in France lol, but doesnt matter now

That my friend is called a "Nightmare" none the less under Ashley it would never happen so dont worry

Genuinely believe he's been bought as a squad option more than someone who is going to be important for them. I.E. Kalou replacement.

Mbiwa can play all across the backline so he could provide cover at fullback but midfield? i dont think so. And Douglas is strictly a CB i think.

Are you telling me they seriously wouldn't go after Hazard? Of course they'd take him there. If given the chance, of course they'd sign him. Just don't think it would suit them or him very well. I see what your saying but both Mata and Hazard are direct enough and pacy enough to make it work i feel. Plus he only played Central this season because they sold Cabaye etc etc so they had no creativity.... He has played out wide most of his career.... same as Mata before he joined Chelsea. They could interchange and swap positions with ease IMO and cant see it not working.

Said it after the game last night but after seeing Debuchy link up so well with Ben Arfa i dont want anyone else lol. We have to do everything we can possibly do to land him. As for Sigurdsson he would be a fantastic addition to the midfield but i feel that signing Debuchy and a CB is more important. And iam not at all fussed about Diame, i think he's a good player but he's not someone who will improve us unlike Debuchy or Sigurdsson would. The Dream Scenario is Keep Ba, Sign Barnetta, Debuchy, Mbiwa and a young striker. Make it happen Pards

Its certain now Italy will win it everytime theres some sort of illegal farce at the year of a tournament they win it.

Yeah it wouldn't surprise if they go with 4-4-2 against deep defenses to break them down.... use Giroud as the big battering ram to knock down the " Parked Bus" and have Benzema, Ribery and Ben Arfa feeding off him with Cabaye and M'Vila holding. I don't expect them to use it against the likes of Germany, Spain, Holland, Italy etc etc but against teams that play defensively its definitely an option i wouldn't be surprised to see them use.

The Llorente calling a press conference part is 100% legit, but the Arsenal part is coming from El Mundo Deportivo and they are not exactly the L'Equipe of Spain so iam not certain.... thought id post it regardless. In anycase if it is true where will RVP be off to? no way they keeping RVP and buying Llorente. I am betting its Juventus.
