The Chelsea F.C. Thread IV

Mceachran has been groomed to be the next Lamoard for the best part of a decade. Would be a shame if he didn't make it at Chelsea.

You would win a lot of matches with this team considering you have 12 players

Take Luiz out and the average age of that team is something like 21, which is mental. Paul Lambert would be proud.

Out of curiosity, how do people think that team would do in the PL based on current form? I reckon a little below mid-table.

This is some incredible knowledge that you have here. Did you just pick up this stuff over the years or read it all?

Not much, I'm afraid, I don't have exact numbers but due to the immense amount of corruption in the government, the people are robbed on a daily basis essentially. As they say, practice what you preach and that seems to have no effect on the government. To the public they talk about ending terrorism, ending poverty but each new elected government does the same thing. Poverty is a massive issue there, which inevitably increased crime rates. People don't get paid that much which leads to mugging, kidnapping, robberies etc.

Yeah, you have a point. I should really look round the other threads a bit more.

I've lived in the UAE (Dubai) for the past 15 years or so and if you look at the different demographics, the local population is about 16% of the entire population and I won't lie the government does a lot for their people. That being said about 30% ish of the 5% are very rich with almost half of them being the bedouins (desert dwelling people, farmers, camel breeders etc) accommodate for 70% of their population. There are approximately 765,000 of them out of 8.2 million total population are farmers. Most of the rich are foreigners actually. American, British, Russian etc are scattered around the country. You see Porches, Lambourgini's, Ferrari's, Masterati's all the time. It's just another car here, especially in Dubai itself. The oil has helped a lot but their plan was to use tourism as a dependent source to drive the economy but the recession really killed that buzz.

Combination of watching current affairs programmes, documentaries and reading on the Internet. To be honest I didn't know about Standard Chartered until it was mentioned in the Liverpool thread. And I studied criminal justice and I have interests in other related fields so sometimes they relate.

Also, this is good news:

José assures Van Ginkel that he'll have a good role.

I reckon we'd be 6th in all honesty. Tottenham have a better team. KDB needs to adapt, bit scared about having ake play a whole season as a starter. Liverpool would run us close for 6th place as it's only the 3 behind the striker, azpi, luiz and bertrand that would have the required experience.

Still a very very good young team.

Was just about to come and post this. Intriguing and exciting, even for me!

How many players in midfield has Jose promised a role now?
It's becoming a bit worrying.

You mean 6th with that team or 6th with all the players we have right now?
Apparently Van Ginkel has been promised a key role in the side... Wonder how many players in midfield have been promised a role now.

With that team obviously, I expect the title with the players we all have tbh.

Lol.

Your track record in predicting Chelsea's league position has been shocking.

Not really last season I said we'll be 2nd and we were 3 points off it God damn it if we'd just beat QPR at home we'd have been second.
The season before was shocking, although I did say we'd be in the CL final which made up for it.
