Just because we don't hear about him doesn't mean he isn't developing. Its good for your career to be on the world stage, but I think the only real bad move he's made in going to PSG is that his wages will be so high that he'll put off a lot of potential suitors when he moves to a bigger league.

Don't know why he was allowed to procreate
Oh Wes, don't underestimate Moyes.
His entire squad's yellow cards strategy is mapped out on a succession of whiteboards too.

verratti is thriving there and he is young
Schaaf still going to Schalke? Why hasn't Keller been sacked yet? I read Hannover will try to sign Schaaf to replace Slomka...
Slomka <3 :-(
Are you elsk?
It's like that "attractiveness as a curse" thread from a few days ago.
Yeah it sucks to miss out on some family time but for fuck's sake I'd easily make that trade a million times over

You'd always make the trade but I still feel sorry for them.
One of those things money can't buy.

I mean big club as in the lure of the wages and going straight into a CL club overriding his desire to move to the club best for his development. PSG can fuck off all day every day, as can Monaco.
@Shanks, some young players will thrive no matter where they go. Others need to value gametime over money and instant celebrity. Others still need to go to clubs with particularly good youth and development coaching that they can make use of when they're not quite established in the first team
Seems like Moura particularly (and his agent) just saw the Euro signs in his eyes and jumped to the team that offered the highest wages and signing-on fee. It felt like it at the time, and it feels like it now.
Yes, but what are they waiting for? The best moment to bring Schaaf is in the winter break to give him some time with the squad.
Keller is a mediocre coach, there's nothing else to add.

I often wonder about Romario, Rivaldo and Ronaldo. In todays game they would have all most likely gone to Barca/RM/Oil giant and I wonder if they would have developed into the stars that they became.
Ronaldo would of because he is is in my top 2 of all time, just the complete number 9, absolute destructive perfection when healthy

There are a handful of examples of young players making moves that are 'to big' but to be honest it seems like most examples still end up in some kind of success.
Inevitably those players who really go to waste are those moving to the oil clubs, not simply those moving to big clubs. PSG and their ilk simply kill off any young careers stone dead (until Liverpool buy them).
That was something special, Kickstarter is amazing :')
I didn't watch the Liverpool game yesterday, I was sad at the scoreline, but compared to some of the other scorelines at the Etihad 2-1 isn't the end of the world.
Mackay getting sacked is terrible for the game, I feel sorry for Cardiff fans, he wasn't doing too badly and they could easily get a terrible manager in and could end up like Wolves or Blackburn. However they could also become the Southampton with Pochettino.
I think there has to be a way to criticise and have refereeing performances looked at, but I dont know how you could do it without every losing team abusing the feature, unless you made false claims punitive.

The solution is to improve the officiating.
There will always be mistakes and/or complaints - what you want is as few of those situations as possible.
I agree, officiating been going down over the past few years, its got to the point now where analysts are openly praising linesmen for getting tough calls right, which if you think about it isnt a great marker for consistency.
Probably one of the best English wide players on form at the moment. But Roy will pick Young and Milner over Sterling and Lallana.
I don't understand how Cleverly plays for England ahead of him. In fact, I don't understand why Cleverly plays for England.

Henderson was a bit quiet for me, as was Allen. Obviously we were never gonna dominate that centre midfield, but we could have done with a better, quicker bridge providing more regular service to the front 3. Almost all of the attacking threat came from build up play between those 3, rather than threatening passes from the midfield.
Those 3 are sexy as fuck though when they're moving like that. Shame Coutinho's shooting is brass and Sterling loses his head when the ball is played with a bit more pace and bounce than he'd like

did you like it? gonna see it tonight
This is my first time venturing in here. I'm a Chelsea fan living in the US and yesterday's match was one of the first Chelsea matches I've seen this season. My impressions are that the striker situation must be absolutely dire. Eto'o just looked completely lost at times, not to mention botching two easy scoring chances. Midfield looked pretty good and we got another clean sheet, but it's pretty troubling that we didn't put Swansea away much, much earlier. We're going to have to play much, much better to get 3 points against Liverpool, and we can't miss golden chances to score goals.
I think it's pretty clear we need to get another striker during the transfer window though. I am curious to hear Chelsea-GAF's thoughts about the season so far and who you guys think we can sign next month. I found out I actually get the TV channel that the league games come on, so I plan on not missing any more this season. Anyway, hopefully you guys don't mind another Chelsea fan in here!

Welcome to the thread! Think you're absolutely spot on with the striker situation. Wouldn't at all surprise me to see Mourinho attempt to lure Falcao from Monaco in Jan.

Schaaf probably doesn't want to start working before the new season. Although he is considering working there, he's not a complete idiot. There's nothing to win for him this season. He needs to turn a shit side into a good one in like 3 weeks and finish at least fourth. They'd probably fire him if he wouldn't have given them CL football next summer looool

Don't count on it.
LOOOOOOOOL
Hahaha, I can tell this is an awesome group already.
That'd be fantastic. I don't know how likely it is that we'd get him, but Mou seems to have a knack for being very persuasive when he wants to be.

who do you really support? Madrid?
Aside from Partizan!
I would so love Iker at Arsenal. I would be overjoyed but won't happen sadly.
