Delivery just arrived. Nicely stocked for the new season - just need a team now!!! pic.twitter.com/hWatTcLf

Will anybody sign you up?

Fans will always turn on someone who isn't good looking or has a flashy play style. Especially fans of "glamour" teams like Chelsea.

Behave - Ramires is a nailed on starter for us. Schurrle looks good, but I only saw him at the Euros - how good is this kid? 25m good?

I hope Rodgers plays Spearing enough to get some gif material

What does price matter? Chelsea has nothing to lose in buying him.

He wouldn't cost 25 for a non-billionaire-bankrolled team. But BL have no pressing reason to sell as he is performing well and has lots of potential, so for Chelsea, 25m sounds about right.

 

[bjaelke]

It is rather annoying how fans will get all hyped up over potential new signings whom they may never have seen play and will start putting them all in hypothetical starting 11's at the expense of established players.

Happens every transfer window and not just on this board. Best part is those who try to justify their opinion by watching a 4 minute Youtube compilation. Pre-season games are starting now. Better just to watch the new signing(s) in those games (like the manager is doing) and then make an educated comment.

Price matters to me. Why would I want to see the club spend 25m on someone shit?

 

[pappe]

It's amazing how often people (even Chelsea fans) are so eager to kick Ramires out of the team even as he was one of Chelsea's best players last season.
.Anyway, it is likely that Sturridge will backup Torres for now though.

Oh fuck i completely forgot about him( I knew i was missing some1 couldnt remember him). He is my 2nd fav Chelsea player after Mata and a very very important player for them. My apologies.
So. I guess if they do buy another CM say Modric They will have to play Modric and Ramires in the center but that would be pretty suicidal considering their defence is weak and i doubt Ramires alone can provide cover for the back four.

Someone could make an awesome gif of all the times he points at a teammate to hide from a pass when he's completely open. That would be awesome.

Actually he's not that bad. He's a good third choice midfielder. He has good movement and harries defenders well. What he fails at is keeping composure in the final third and standing his ground when under pressure. Not sure how much he'll improve from here but we could do worse as a bench option, especially in cup games.

Price matters to me. Why would I want to see the club spend 25m on someone shit?

Because it wouldn't effect either you or the team you support.

 

[Broder Salsa]

I'd imagine that backup striker will be Sturridge, and they'll have Marko Marin as a wide option.

Not to forget Lukaku..

 

[Hixx]

Franck Ribery is playing for Bolton on my FM save.

Total double take there...

 

[fuenf]

edit - another issue is how the payment would be structured. I think Porto want the fee (or a large majority of it) all at once and Chelsea wanted to spread it out over 3 years or something. Anyways, 25m for Schurrle seems like a done deal to me.

You know nothing about Leverkusen, do you?

 

[Moobabe]

Because it wouldn't effect either you or the team you support.

So if your club signs duff players then you'll be happy to bring this post back up? That's ALL we've all been talking about for weeks is the players our clubs are signing/might be signing.

Right. (BTW:I do know that pappe isn't a Chelsea fan)

Geez sorry guys. It was completely unintentional. Ramires is a great player.

 

[Salazar]

Chuck is good.

I mean, even if it were bad, there would still be

But it's good.

 

[Mastadon]

Oh dear Michael:


Will anybody sign you up?

My sunday league team could probably accommodate him. Can he drive?

Chuck is good.

Series 1 and 2 are amazing, and the rest are still watchable. Yvonne Strahovski is a goddess.

 

[WJD]

Chuck is good.

I gave up after the first season.

 

[bjaelke]

I gave up after the first season.

Same here. It's almost TBBT bad.

Series 1 and 2 are amazing, and the rest are still watchable. Yvonne Strahovski is a goddess.

there is a video on youtube of her getting a massage on some australian show. it is great.

I gave up after the first season.

you are a bad person.

also bjaelke is the worst.

 

[Salazar]

Same here. It's almost TBBT bad.

I feel personally offended. The fuck is this.

 

[qindarka]

No, don't feel bad about it. Sorry if I caused any offence. I wasn't so much responding to you as I was using your post to give my opinions on this issue.

 

[Mastadon]

Yeah I need to see this for, uh, research purposes.

 

[bjaelke]

If I want to watch a Russian girl receive a massage I go to tnaflix or redtube.

I just don't get the Chuck appeal.

That's because you're dead on the inside.

That's nice but not sure what it has to do with Strahovski.

 

[Scum]

Franck Ribery is playing for Bolton on my FM save.

Total double take there...

...and Busquets and Cavani are at Spurs in mine.

 

[British Monsoon]

I just don't get the Chuck appeal.

Light-hearted spy action, mixed with a good dose of humour and melodrama. And Yvonne Strahovski. It's easy to see the appeal.

However, it goes monumentally downhill pretty early on. The latest seasons are nigh on unwatchable, imo.

 

[Broder Salsa]

I had him and Drogba playing for Notts County in FM11, that was great.

Polish, my bad.

 

[Linius]

Same here. It's almost TBBT bad.

Say what?!

I just started watching Chuck. I'm at episode thirteen from the second season, fucking love it.

there is a video on youtube of her getting a massage on some australian show. it is great.

This post is pretty useless without the link

 

[Linius]

Double -_- '

 

[Hixx]

I was hoping someone else would post it cos I can't find it on there any more

 

[Salazar]

Australian tv worth watching sounds pretty implausible.

 

[Linius]

All I got was some massage scene from season five, since I'm still at season two that's a no-go for me

And boy, that new Nas album is nice.

 

[Salvadora]

Chuck season 2 is the best season by far. You are really missing out.

 

[FootballFan]

just a normal day in hamburg

:lol Barca playing them in 10 days. Sucks that that happens though, hope they sort it out.

 

[GorillaJu]

I found Chuck to be formulaic and too familiar too enjoy. Same with Suits. TV shows require such a huge time investment to get into.

On the other hand I just saw The Science of Sleep for the first time last night and that movie was incredible.

I started watching the show like two weeks ago

I'm wathcing three eps. a day on average I guess.

Manchester City will receive £5m from Tottenham for Emmanuel Adebayor. Understand that City will subsidise the player's wages.#MCFC #THFC

lol?

 

[sneaky77]

I loved chuck i miss that show. Yea some episodes weren't as great but overall it was a good series.

 

[Yurt]

It's now again possible to order Milan shirts with Ibra and Thiago Silva on them.

:/

 

[Salazar]

lol?

Acumen is the keyword here.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Copenhagens new manager not even having Grindheim in the squad for the first match of the season, is there hope that he's on his way out? I have faith.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

lol?

lol

 

[neoanarch]

What bastard decided to hold the Team GB vs Mexico friendly behind closed doors?

 

[Gareth Bale]

Acumen is the keyword here.

I believe 'quality' and 'clout' were the exact terms used!

 

[WJD]

On a related note, me and the missus have been plowing through 24 recently and it's pretty good. We've watched 1-4 at the moment... Is there a significant drop in quality any time soon?

As far as ratings go I'd probably go 3>2>1>4, though 4 got pretty good towards the end.

So I just found out my brother in law has lung cancer and he doesn't even smoke and drinks very little.

So sorry to hear that bro, I hope he recovers well and soon.

I'm sad. Knowing two of the best players in my team are gone is depressing.

I know that feel bro. It would be horrible for AC Milan to give away BOTH. Completely stupid IMO. Sure, it'll give them a lot of money, but it'll take away a good dose of talent, especially from a defensive point of view. You never know, you may pick up excellent players in the long run that may prove just as good if not better. Ibra is replaceable IMO.

best summer ever

True, you guys are on a roll, and there's no signs of stopping just yet.

Oh for fucks sake! Just spilt a glass of Ribena down my top....fucking Blackcurrant!!!

JEFF! Welcome back bro ! Love how your avatar is censored

And people called him a racist, and lambasted me for daring to wait till the verdict was passed.

I wonder if Terry will still be punished by the FA. I just hope that he stays away from trouble from now on, he's got the potential to be a bigger figure and I hope he proves it.

:-o

Great signing btw, on par with Shaqiri IMO.

In other positive Chelsea news "informal" talks are underway between Malouda and Santos - and Kalas has signed a contract extension. Really excited about the upcoming season now; we've finally got some young exciting talent in the group. No doubt I'll end up subbing to Chelsea TV to watch pre-season matches again...

This really is wonderful news and I hope the deal works. It would be best for all parties. Malouda will have too much competition at Chelsea now and I believe he won't impress much as he had a very poor season in 11/12 after being their top scorer in 10/11. I'll be renewing my subscription too, I look forward to seeing the new buys!

Late reply I know, I was out on it. Black naked frame Yamaha FZ6 S2.

Nice bike man

We beat Al Hilal 7 - 1. Just sayin' City

Al Hilal have PSG's former coach though - the guy they fired when PSG was FIRST lol. I watched them play yesterday and they were excellent. I bet they would impress as a Premier League team even btw.

Just found out my Grandad has prostate cancer.

Don't know wtf is going on anymore.

So sorry to hear this news bro, may he heal up and get better soon...

Maybe I'm late, but is this real?

Looks fucking class as much as I hate to say it.

I like it too, though it feels like a natural thing for Commander Shepherd to wear.

Drogba got a massive reception at the airport in China. I miss him already ;.;

Me too, though I'm very happy he left when he did, he is now immortalized as a Chelsea legend.

 

[dc89]

lol?

That takes the piss but Mancini doesn't want him near the team at any cost, at ANY cost.

And don't say City's owners don't have business acumen. Sheikh Mansour made a reported £2.25bn profit from his dealings with Barclays.
