The point in Kalou going Rangers on loan? Surely you should try to sell him instead

Well it wont be Hulk we know that much. Would make sence as he can go get first team expirience and score bags of goals im sure and then come back a much better player. I have a few sources but that would be telling wouldnt it lol.
I think we want to keep him but everytime i have seen PVA he has been sensational and i would say he is better than Ash as some things. His crossing is much better than Coles, his shooting and his throw-ins are better. Just imagine how good he can get playing 40-50 games next season. I would take 10-20mill for Cole and i said this a while ago too.

Not really, if we intend on keeping Drogba for one more year and then bring Kalou back who has just scored bags of goals in the SPL and and and gained lots of confidence and expirience. Drogba's contract runs out at the end of the season if im not wrong. Makes sence to me.

But surely it dosent matter where the money comes from?? Money is money simple as that, if i find a tenner on the floor and then win a tenner in the bookies im just as happy. Of corse Utd get more revinue because they have been a massive brand for decades but Chelsea have only really been on the world map for 8years. But as a brand we are growing buy tens of thousands every single year and although we may never be as big as the likes of Utd and Liverpool etc we will still be a massive brand making more money than the club could ever think of.

It does, actually. The rules stipulate you can only spend what you earn (in its essence, anyway) and as such where it comes from is extremely important. You can't just get Uncle Roman to pour 200 mil into the kitty: you need to have made that money through whatever means, merchandise or otherwise. That's why Arsenal will be fine (they're well run), United will be fine (their merchandising machine is massive and their popularity global) and Chelsea will be ******.
But thats why i said year after year ChelseaFC as a brand is growing and is making more and more money every year.
But not enough. That's why Abramovich has to keep on funding you and underwriting losses, year after year. More to the point, Chelsea hasn't made enough money (and won't for a long time) to be able to buy the names they need to compete for the title.
r u serious. we must push REAL for at least 25mil, cmon man, he is probably the best in that position 10 is way too little. BTW i would take MARCELO in exchange
no problem Making "more and more money every year" yet you're still making a loss each season?
What the famous 70million loss we made just before we spent another 70million on Torres and Luiz. Its funny that the media failed to mention that 70million dosent take merchandise and sponsorship into count so that figure would have eithe been wiped out alltogether or much less without a dout. The loss every year is getting smaller and smaller which is encouraging.

Like i say the man is 30 and has said he only has 2-3 years left so ok lets say 15-20mill even though he is the most consistant left back in the world is a decent price. He also struggles with ankle injurys and cant train sometimes so it would be a great price and why get Marcelo??? Madrid want a leftback because he isent good enough lol. PVA is good enough for Chelsea and the more games he plays the better he gets.
MArcelo not good?? haha
he can play also as a winger, and he is fast, very productive in the left flank.. Although i have seen only 5-6 games of Real last season, he impressed me a lot. and maybe thats exactly what they are trying to do, Marcelo as a winger, Ash as LB. Mourinho is a smart man, he knows what hes doing.as for PVA, yes he is good and all, but no experience man, that counts the most these days. against Nani, Ashley young, valencia... he aint that good man. believe me.

Thats the point, Marcelo cannot defend. PVA is much better than your giving him credit for, every loan deal he has had the teams wished they could keep hold of him. Playing first team football at Chelsea he will get better with every game. Lets be honest he is better than Bertrand so PVA is the future of Chelsea.
No irony in the fact that Cole was ripped to bits by Valencia last season then?
Last season Marcelo was the best left back in the world along with Abidal. He was very consistent and improved his defending a lot.
Your logic is like saying Chelsea need Falcao because Torres is not good enough.
And also there is no reliable source saying Madrid wants Cole. They want Coentrao for that position.
Was proberly the best performance by a winger i have seen against Cole

Well thats all on opinions. I dont rate Marcelo and there must be a reason why Mourinho wants Cole ay. I have never said Chelsea need Falcao.
Any reliable source saying Madrid wants Cole? No. They dont need him. They wanted him last season but they wont be going for him this season as Marcelo has improved a lot and was better than any left back.
And its not about your opinion alone. Chelsea are linked with Falcao and more reliable sources says you want Falcao more than saying Madrid wants Cole. So according to your logic your strikers are not good enough..
Why is it my logic?? I have said we dont need Falcao unless we get rid of a few forwards. Its no secret Mourinho likes Cole and even if Marcelo improved last season he still isent fit enough to lace Cole's boots.
Thats your logic coz you said this,
So if you are linked with any player then the player who plays in that position is not good enough.. Thats how you said.
And Jose may like Cole but there is no interest from Madrid and they want Coentrao not Cole. You want to trust Daily Mail and say Madrid wants Cole? Lol..
And Marcelo dont need to lace anyone boots as he is ****** good player. You lot overrate cole so much, it is beyond joke.. Cole is excellent player, but saying Marcelo is not good enough to lace Cole's boots is like saying Josh is not good enough to lace Wilshere boots..
i wouldnt go that far, but yes. he keeps improving, his defence is not as good as his attacking though like Jacko said earlier.
Marcelo is ridiculously underrated. It's only now that he's beginning to get recognition from the wider press.
His defending is not as good as his attacking that doesn't mean his defending is bad. That means his attacking ability is way too good.
His defending has improved a lot, and that was there for everyone to see. His positioning improved so so much last season. He will soon become the best left back in the world. No doubt about it.
Bad performances happen like how Maicon was ripped to bits by the one-dimensional Gareth Bale and he is considering one of the best RBs in the world... one bad day at the office does not mean you brand someone as incompetent particularly if he is a proven player who gives world-class performances on his day like Cole has

but we already have a good enough squad to compete for the title, we were just ****** last season by injuries to key players and yet we finished second... we did buy Torres and Luiz but both of them were hardly in sparkling form and it was our original team that led us to nearly piping United to the title
