But we all know how Mou can go to plan B,C,D,E,F whenever necessary..we kept making opponents' managers guessing and thinking.

So, it'll be nice to see variables in formation >.<

So who will be the next Mikel?(gotta put his name because he's our current)

Transfer Target : Matic, De Rossi

Current 1st Team : Oscar, Oriol Romeu , Luiz

Current Loaned : McEachran, De Bruyne

Current Youth : Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Nathan Ake, Chalobah ( loan to Fulham )

Don't worry, everyone.

The Cavani transfer saga will be resolved... on the 31st of August at 12am.

Expensive signings are never easy. They have to take it to the last possible minute and torture us all.

Worst possible scenario is if Cavani stays at Napoli. And then the torture will begin again in January 2014. And June 2014. Forever.

With the rumours that PSG have bid Cavani.
How I hope we get Zlatan.
He is awesome, i think we be able to get him if Cavani really go to PSG.

not mobile enough to be in 4-2-3-1..better rooney than ibra..or just let torres lead the line..

dont really like him...quite tua already and hes on steroid wages....i dont think hes the high profile striker that can carry us for the next 3-4 years....

yes he is quite tua already.
but he is the big strong type of striker.
maybe good for few years.
by that time maybe lukaku can be the main man.

but i still hope torres can really prove himself this season, if we dont sell him.

so where will Mata play?

Mata will play as the Attacking midfield. If 4-3-3, the midfield trio will be Mata, Lamps and Essien. Mikel is too slow, Romeu injury prone. Ramires will be a good sub. Provide stamina and lung bursting run when the opposition starts to feel tired.
In addition, Nathan Ake will have more playing time is Mikel is really sold. Personally, I feel is time to let Mikel go, and let Ake play more 1st team game with Chelsea

I'm not sure whether it is just me or Oscar really outshone Mata in the Confed Cup Final. No fancy skills, but he really dictating the attacking for Brazil while Gustavo and Paulinho pushing from midfield. All this time in Chelsea, he spent most of them at the right flank so i guess we haven't seen the best of him yet in blue shirt

Lol. If mata went attacking where will lamps be? He isnt sort of midfielder who will just sit back and defend

He can play more as a CM instead of AM.

Just like our old 433. Makelele pure DM, Essien can attack and defend CM, Lamp full out attack AM. In this case, Essien pure DM, Lamp attack and defend as CM, Mata full out attack AM.

yap Oscar is the playmaker for Brazil..and this is the new Brazil..while Mata must compete with 4-5 quality spaniard to be in the 1st 11..

Lamps will be the person who control the midfielder..just like Lampard-Ballack combo..it will be Lampard-Mata..but actually Oscar will perform better in this position...

VAN GINKEL SIGNEDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Official



2nd Signing !!

Welcome to Chelsea FC!

Has anyone been scouting him? His videos doesn't tell much.

anyone got more info on Van Ginkel?
hmm, 20yr old. I think after pre-season they'll decide whether to loan him or not.

Vitesse is like our B-side

' Oscar '

I think he will play in the trident position..I can only see Oscar drop to CM to make room for Schurrle and van Ginkel...

lampard replacment

maybe..maybe..either him or oscar..

mceachran and romeu compete for essien, mikel, ramires place..
