Dear Chelsea hierarchy,

I'm going to save you a shit tonne of money in the summer:

OUT:

Mikel
Malouda
Ferrerira
Turnbull/Hilario
Marin (?)
Benayoun
Essien
Kakuta

Bring back from loan:

Courtois (If both reserve keepers go)
Chalobah
Bruma
Piazon
McEachran
De Bruyne
Lukaku

Sign:

Schurrle
NO-ONE ELSE

That leaves us with a pretty solid squad that's more experienced and a little bigger than last year:

Keepers:

Cech
Hilario/Turnbull/Cortois

Defenders:

Ivanovic
Cole
Luiz
Cahill
Terry
Bertrand
Bruma
Azpilicueta
Ake

Midfield:

Luiz/Ake (Defenders)
Lampard
Chalobah
McEachran
Ramires
Romeu

Offensive Midfield:

Marin (?)
Oscar
Hazard
Mata
De Bruyne
Piazon
Moses
Schurrle

Strikers:

Ba
Torres
Lukaku

There you go. ONE player signed. Just the one, and a shed load of players out the door. We've won the FA Youth Cup on a number of occasions in the past few years as well - use these guys.

But knowing us we'll try and sign £100 million worth of players in the summer

You want Mou to sign one player?

 

[RaGe_pt]

What time is the match?

20:30. 2 hours remaining

 

[Meier]

Yes it is, in two hours! I'll leave to the stadium in 30 minutes! God I'm so fuckin nervous it looks like we are playin a champions league final!

Good luck! What a game to get to attend.

The Rev playing at halftime? Good for them.

We do need another CM. Also I think Marin should go out on loan. He looked good in pre season and should have another chance to show that he can make it here. I also think we need another striker in case Lukaku doesn't work within our system.

 

[Wes]

Chelsea should sell Ba and bring in someone more prolific and a better target man.

 

[Yurt]

Giaccherini is so fucking selfish

 

[Clegg]

I expect City to win this game but they've been second best in the first half.

 

[Moobabe]

You want Mou to sign one player?

I know he won't - but the players we have, and the players we have out on loan, are good enough and young enough to progress without signing Falcao, Lewandowski etc

I honestly think McEachran could do it - plus Chalobah has been sensational at Watford. That's two guys who have earned the right for a chance at least.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Giaccherini is so fucking selfish

That would have been a pretty sweet goal, though.

Dear Chelsea hierarchy,

I'm going to save you a shit tonne of money in the summer:

OUT:(

that team is weak in central midfield, especially if you sell mikel

not that you need a midfield to win the league of course (cf manchester united 2010-11, 2012-13), but if you're not going to be ambitious up front it's hard

 

[Lambda Pie]

Yes it is, in two hours! I'll leave to the stadium in 30 minutes! God I'm so fuckin nervous it looks like we are playin a champions league final!

don't be, Proença is there.

i'll be surprised if we win. that's how much my hype deflated since Thurday.

 

[Tc91]

Vs West Brom, City played Milner on the right and Kolarov on the left. Dropped back when defending but played as wingers with a back 3 when attacking.

Wonder if Milner will come on soon and they'll try that.

 

[Kyoufu]

I know he won't - but the players we have, and the players we have out on loan, are good enough and young enough to progress without signing Falcao, Lewandowski etc

Mourinho will get a blank* cheque.

*within FFP limit

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Have you seen Moon?

Didn't see this sooner, sorry. Yes I have seen Moon

I think Luiz's future lies in Midfield - but bringing players back gives us options. Ramires, Lampard, Luiz, Chalobah all provide something a little different. Unless he brings back Essien as well to sure it up.

I hope not

Already crying about the ref? Jesus... You guys are all the same.

 

[Wilbur]

Chelsea definitely need a midfielder. They should use Chalobah and McEachran next year, but assuming Luiz will continue to play CB, they can't go into the season with Mikel, Lampard and Ramires as their only senior options.

I think Mou will bring Khedira with him.

edit: forgot about Essien as well, his daddy

I honestly think McEachran could do it - plus Chalobah has been sensational at Watford. That's two guys who have earned the right for a chance at least.

No, neither McEachran nor Chalobah can be trusted yet. Chalobah is probably more ready though. We might get by without buying a striker if we bring back Lukaku but a CM is really, really needed.

Ideally, I want Schurrle (since we are so far with the deal already), a CM, a CB and a striker.

I don't want us to spend much cash either but we've neglected out deficiencies in the middle for too long.

 

[yellow submarine]

MANCINI WOAH.. mancini wwooaaahhh

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Lambda is undoing all of the good work done by rvy, Cardoza and Aimar

Sporting>Porto>>>Benfica

FORÇA PORTOOOOOOOOO

Is it weird that I absolutely love Lambda and he's one of my favourite posters but I still want them to lose tonight?

But please beat Chelsea.

We've got some good kids as CB options - Ake looks a talent and Bruma looked pretty good when he had a brief spell with us too. I'd love to see us give some youth a chance.

Why do you hate me so?

 

[Shake Appeal]

Whoomp, there it is.

 

[Hieberrr]

Man the celebrations are fucking weird right now. Dude is waving around a portrait of Jupp LMFAO

 

[Yurt]

Mirko!

Vidal assist. ♥

 

[Meier]

Wigan look far more dangerous because Espinoza has the ball out near the touchline rather than just having a FB up there with the ball who isn't that much of a concern.

Wrong call on the foul there, Kompany had the ball first.

 

[Ushojax]

City's game changer is James Milner.

That is why they've flopped this season.

 

[Wilbur]

Is Vidal gonna win Serie A player of the year? Or Cavani, Pirlo?

 

[qindarka]

Bruma apparently isn't performing that well for Hamburg. It's Kalas that is the big hope.

cleanest W.

We probably won't have Hazard so Benfica are the favorites.

 

[Lambda Pie]

But please beat Chelsea.

cleanest W.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

City employ James Milner.

That is why they've flopped this season.

looooooooooooooooooooooool

Vidal or Cavani deserve it. As a Juve fan, I'm biased towards Vidal.

 

[Meier]

Nasri makes a nice move to beat the defender then just wastes it. Come on, son!

 

[Splatt]

Is Vidal gonna win Serie A player of the year? Or Cavani, Pirlo?

I'd give to Luca Toni because he is awesome.

 

[Moobabe]

Bruma apparently isn't performing that well for Hamburg. It's Kalas that is the big hope.

I heard Kalas couldn't get a work permit? Also we have Moses!

 

[Tc91]

Milner warming up on the touchline, also he was out all through half time warming up.

He'll be on soon for Nasri.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Kuffour <3

He's wearing Scheinsteiger's trousers

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Yeah that de facto Portuguese Liga Final is going to be good, will watch after this boring FA Cup.

edit: On espn3 too

 

[Yurt]

Is Vidal gonna win Serie A player of the year? Or Cavani, Pirlo?

Hopefully. Pirlo is as good as ever but Vidal was simply more decisive.

 

[Ushojax]

Wigan got lucky there, any sloppiness like that will be punished.

 

[Wilbur]

Vidal or Cavani deserve it. As a Juve fan, I'm biased towards Vidal.

Yeah I think Vidal's been better as well. Pizarro's been really great to watch this year I think, a thousand miles from the player who turned up at City last year.

 

[D_prOdigy]

Milner will get the winner. You'll see.

 

[Meier]

Terrible decision, Kompany didn't even touch it.

It was a nice delivery though.. we are godawful at corners.

 

[Freewheelin']

Is Kalou at Lille now? lol, had forgotten all about him.

 

[ATF487]

gus johnson is so bad at this

 

[Lightning]

Hopefully. Pirlo is as good as ever but Vidal was simply more decisive.

I think Stevan Jovetic deserves it!
