Yeah... 4 star is really give face... even some players retain their 5 star status which to me is not really relevant... Like Hazard is still consider a 5 star player....

Well, if there are no big names coming because we are not in UCL next season, then will it be good news for our academy? Can we be more like Arsenal where they produce quality youngsters that can be sold for big money? I doubt Roman wants that kind of buildup... Roman would rather splash the cash for the right players....

hard to say. he was happy when RLC scored that goal during FA Cup game. i think he would be more than happy to see his investments in the academy come to fruition. We've won everything since Roman took over, so hopefully this next decade he will have more patience.

I also hope we buy high profile players IF we need to and rely on youngsters to come up next season. we are literally sitting on a diamond mine of youth players. just need to dig them up to the first team and polish and shine them. but we need to solve our managerial problem first after Hiddink leaves.

The problem is when Roman wants quick fix, manager that comes in won't rely on youth too much... BPL is such an unforgiving league for youngsters.... you really need backing from the board to play them regularly... I think Hiddink should be bolder in fielding youngsters since his stay is until the end of the season... nothing to lose... unlike Mou and previous manager.... result talks.... now that top 4 spot is gone, I think better test some of the youngsters.... RLC seems ready and so is Kenedy... but how ready are the other youngsters? Bamford being recall back early but I don't see him making the senior team.... sigh...

yep, i agree. although still mathematically possible, but its too far away. might as well throw some youth into battle. ake and solanke and a few other still out on loan, so can leave them there to develop. Bamford i think will be sent out on loan again... but who knows? maybe Hiddink will keep him, since Falcao cannot send back to Monaco and most probably won't play for the rest of the season. on top of that, we not reinforcing in our striker department.

but for now so far so good. get to see Kenedy and RLC playing more. hopefully next season they stick to the first team and recall ake Christensen and maybe Kalas to play as well

for JM i dont think its quick fix anymore... he had his chances and made it champion last season... he need to recover his winning form this season thats why hes sticking to his trusted line up, which back fired.

I more or less content that we
wont be champion
wont be in top 4

same squad, same manager - blame which one?

stupid BOARD that refused to buy players that Jose wanted

Chelsea willing to let Traore go
Chelsea are ready to offload Bertrand Traore to Everton. The Sun claims the reigning Premier League champions are willing to let the midfielder join Roberto Martinez's men on loan.
However, it is understood the Toffees will need to pay the 20-year-old's wages, thought to be around £40,000-a-week, in full.

Ramires for Gundogan
Borussia Dortmund are reportedly interested in signing Chelsea's defensive midfielder Ramires.
Spanish outlet Fichajes claims Dortmund will attempt to sign the Brazil international, who is apparently unsettled at Stamford Bridge, this January.

The 28-year-old has been frozen out by new boss Guus Hiddink, with the Dutchman preferring John Obi Mikel in the heart of midfield.
It is even understood Ilkay Gundogan, who has been linked with Liverpool, could be used a spart of the deal.

Arsenal are understood to be eyeing up a transfer bid for Chelsea’s young defender Ola Aina.

Whispers coming out of the Emirates Stadium suggest the club see the 19-year-old as a replacement for Mathieu Debuchy, who is set to leave the club this month.

Aina would be available on a free transfer at the end of the season after refusing a new deal at Chelsea.

Reports claim that Aina was booted back to the Chelsea under-21’s after refusing the new deal

If we really wanna play youth, we need Pep. Hate to say this, but Pep is the best in bringing up youths into his squad.

Pep managerial style doesn't suit our club... even JM can't get everything that he wanted... dun think Pep gonna be treated any different.. Pep most likely to go to either one of the Manchester club...

the best bet is to get uncle Carlo back (we play beautiful football under Carlo Ancelotti)... but that is up to the board... the board controls everything...

and must get an old guard back as assistant coach... Drogba suits the bill.

AND TERRY PLEASE, not as rock solid as he used to be - time to groom a new kapitan - NOT IVA please
Is there a system in place where if Terry/Iva not there, who is the kapitan?

Sign in to new house. Player number 95, tak orang

We need overhaul our team. Faster sell those who are inconsistent like Hazard. We need striker during this January window, but with Guus just being caretaker, I doubt he will bring in anyone. He can play youth players till end of this season, let us see especially our upcoming manager know which youth, young players very good and can adapt to PL football

Hazard can play against ars, but who cares?
I only care if Costa can plays

who knows? suddenly Hazard back on form again, since RM transfer ban.

Exclusive - FIFA's Blatter is still being paid his salary despite ban from world soccer

FIFA's Sepp Blatter may have been banned for eight years from the game but he is still receiving his president's salary from world soccer's governing body, a spokesman for FIFA's Audit and Compliance Committee told Reuters on Monday.

Blatter was suspended for 90 days by FIFA on Oct 8 and then banned from the game for eight years last month for ethics violations over a $2 million payment FIFA made to European soccer boss Michel Platini with Blatter's approval in 201
