Suprising he has not mentioned Chelsea at all though, Gervinho has been absolutely cack at Arsenal so far.

Oh has he? Imo he had some great games this season which was his first. Just look at Stoke game at Emirates for example.

And maybe he isn't allowed to speak anything about clubs or his move to press.

One half decent game in a season, sorry must of missed that one. Whenever I have seen him I can see why he has been playing throughout the season less and less, been pretty awful.

Yeh I know he won't be allowed to speak to the press, but why can't it just be confirmed already. How does the friendly against England effect anything.

So for you 1 goal and 2 assists against Stoke is half decent game? What would be amazing for you? For his first season he was pretty good for first part of season in which games he started.

After ACN he was mainly used as sub and he didn't perform as well. He takes time to get used into game and 10-15 minutes at end of match isn't enough for him.

He did not start much for the second part of the season for a reason, he just did not look good to me, big step up from Ligue 1 to Premier League though.

Well he was at ACN for big part of start of second part? Kinda hard to start after that.

Also Ox started to perform really well as did Benayoun who was mainly used in that second part of season. Gervinho missed penalty which meant Ivory Coast lost final in ACN so his self belief must have been affected.

I think he will be much better next season and to compare he did much better ( stats ) than Nani who is now perhaps second best winger in Prem after Valencia.

But let's not flood Chelsea Thread with Gervinho.
 
Luka Modric, a regista able to supply the front three/four. RB should be less of a priority this window, ramires/luiz/essien can play as back up there. the role of number 1 striker should go to Torres, with better service from Modric/Hazard/Mata, he should "theoretically" do better

If you get Modric then other teams will worry at the moment Chelsea still seem an unbalanced team without a regista like him.

I don't tend to agree with this, if anyone watched Chelsea under Di Matteo then one of our stand out players was Frank Lampard playing in this deeper playmaker role. Now im not suggesting for one second that he is better than Modric at doing this but he is a very intellegent man and played brilliantly well there and may even play that role for England this summer. If thats the case then i also believe we have a younger man in the wings in Josh McEachran who suits this role down to the ground so maybe Lamps will be first choice and Josh take over the reigns in the future. It's a solution.

Agree with you here. There were some rumours when AVB was sacked that Meireles would like to go? Do you think you should sell him if possible?
 
We also do not know whether all the transfer fees are upfront or anything, they may be something upfront and monthly installments which will make it easier to comply with FFP.

You pay some of your fees up front, and some not. For example Luiz was up front. But you are still not quite there last time i checked, going in the right direction though.

Yes, 100%. The games he played could have been played by McEachran instead.
 
Hulk has signed a 5 year deal at Chelsea.£145K a week & the fee around £37M. @Agent007ITK: The figures are correct, believe me. Don't expect anything official from Chelsea just yet but the deal is completed.
 
The new stadium is an absolute kicker in terms of FFP. IF chelsea get that, they will be laughing, because as far as i remember it counts as infrastructure, meaning Roman can plough money into building it without getting penalised.

I dont think they would have, Di Matteo seems to like Meireles as well. Not sure why to be honest, be he does.

Yea you are right. Also youth infrastructure can be upgraded freely.

Yer i believe club can do anything in terms of building things and money into the acadmeys etc without it counting towards FFP.

Yer he does seem to like him especially in the bigger games because he just kicks people lol.

It's vital the the opposition come round to this, because its the only way that the club can go forward, and be self sufficient. And when else is someone going to build a stadium for you, at no cost to the fans?

Well i heard that our bid is way behind others for the Battersea plant so we have to start again there.

Also heard say who is close to or is one of Romans representitives he was asked the question "what now for Roman as he has won the thing he wanted". Answer "he builds the squad he wants and gets his club playing the beautiful football he wants".
