Why the **** are we not in for Eriksen though?

Because you dont need yet more attacking mids?

Because you already have approximately twenty million young talented AMCs?

Rooney is likely going to get a long term contract in the near future, that prevents his sale except at a ridiculous price.

Lewandowski has had his final year wage bumped until he leaves on a free for bayern. Unless he changes his mind, or bayern decide they dont want him, no one is getting their mitts on him.

Precisely why I said that a lot can change over the course of a season, making judgements on moves that will only happen next summer now is silly

Waz being sarcastic

 

[Nick Chelsea]

Haha, forget about Rooney and Lewandowski. They are not realistic targets anymore.

But since when has he even looked like changing his mind? Ditto Bayern.

Eto'o has signed a contract.

Ayup: BBC Sport - Samuel Eto'o: Chelsea sign Cameroon striker from Anzhi

I am totally prepared for my predictions of his shitness to be proved totally incorrect despite them making sense. -.-

He is Eto'o, he does what he wants. And that includes defying logical thinking.

Is he old? Yes. Has he been playing in a far inferior league for the last few years? Yes. But he is a striker who gets into "striker" areas! Its a very low risk deal and one which could be a masterstroke by Jose. Welcome to Chelsea FC Eto'o.

I think the length of the deal, especially, is a very good move. One year deal, if he does well then there's an option to extend. If he's trash, well, he won't be on your books for long. Low-risk deal and could potentially be very high reward.

Schalke, Basel and steau make up our CL group. Should be a breeze tbh

 

[Nick Chelsea]

Schalke, Basel, Steaua


Not that bad. Still not teams we should underrate.

 

[slbenficacoach]

The easiest group on CL; lucky Mou this year.

At least he can't do much worse than Torres.

Demba Ba did. Torres actually had a decent season.

Not really, comparing the two in domestic games only as Ba couldn't play in Europe Ba actually played less minutes but scored more than Torres from January onwards for us.

 

[Alcaraz]

Add the fact that Ba hasn't gotten half the opportunities/chances to prove himself as Torres had

Ba had plenty of opportunities. He has been awful

 

[Tyton]

It depends what exactly are you comparing Mike.

Torres is only saved by his goals in Europe (where Ba couldn't play).

Check the domestic games and they've both been terrible.
