AVFCforever1991 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Shall we put a cheeky loan offer in for Torres? Or is his current form even beneath us? I would rather buy Bowery back... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Mentioned in the other thread but in the January window they sold Kevin De Bruyne (3 league appearances) for an £11m profit (paid £7m, sold for £18m) and Juan Mata for a £13.5m profit. Those are two other players who weren't going to be in the first team under Mourinho. 2014 has been very profitable for Chelsea and will do an awful lot of good for their accounts. It's mental when you can turn such huge profits on players who everybody knows you don't even want! With the Luiz transfer, allow me to be pretty cynical but given it was between two FFP affected clubs and was massively inflated...I dunno. I can see more of this happening, an old pals act to help clubs bend the rules. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Ivanovic must be one of the defenders in the world. At ease at CB or RB, great in the air and solid on the ground. Getting better going forward as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I thought it was a very nice tribute from John Terry for the late Sir Richard Attenborough. Very well spoken and from from the heart... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 26 players out on loan. Makes a mockery of the loan system. How many of those are ever going to play first team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Conceding goals so easily this yr, so unlike Mourinho teams. Will imagine he will be changing tactics soon to make them more defensively sound. Still think they will win the league this yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 They can afford to concede the odd goal when they score 3/4 v these weaker teams. They have Man City at the weekend. I fully expect to see a midfield of Matic, Ramieres and Cesc with Hazard and prob a defensive winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrinityRoadSteps Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I see Mourinho is now moaning about Costa having to play three times in a week, yeah because you haven't the squad to cover the odd injury? Simple answer. Relinquish your place in the Champions League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 An even simpler answer: Don't pick him 3 times in a week. You pick the team José! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArteSuave Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I don't think he was complaining, I think he was answering the people questioning him about why Costa didn't start. People accused him of overlooking Schalke, he's just clarifying that the real reason is that Costa isn't currently fit enough to start that often.

For once he was being honest and forthright. Should have started Remy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Mourinho is complaining that Hazard will leave the premier league if nothing is done about the copious amounts of fouls that Hazard receives per match. Mourinho believes Hazard is targeted each match. Normally I'd just list this as something else Mourinho is complaining about, but this is actually something I noticed in the few Chelsea matches I've watched this season. The Stoke match was awful for Hazard. Hazard has 59 fouls committed against him. No one comes close to that number. The referees have to be stricter because Hazard will eventually get a serious injury because of this. As a league, you don't want players fearing that dangerous fouls will go unpunished.

Demitri_C Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 rubbish. might as well stop tackling altogther and making challenges if we are going to protect individual players. i think chelsea can handle it, they only have players like schurrle, willen, oscar and costa as alternatives if hazard is taken out of the game. moan-rinho is back. always whinges when they start dropping points 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
