The Chelsea F.C. Thread IV

Hope this doesn't piss Lukaku off too much.

If eto'o flops we're screwed.

What the hell am I supposed to do about my Lukaku shirt now...

LOL imagine if he does very well for WBA and next year for Belgium at the WC and decides he just wants to play for WBA not Chelsea.

I think he'll be a bit pissed but he was more pissed off when he was at Chelsea and didn't see the field so he'll just accept the situation

This is a bit of a **** move on Chelsea's behalf. He's just had his first experience of screwing up on the big stage, he's young and inexperienced and we've remedied his mistake by shipping him out. Good work, that'll cheer him up. Came back stating his intention to force a way into the first team, barely played. Hoping the move falls through. Sigh. Must've been something that's happened to make him request a move back there.

Now would be a semi-decent time for one of the strikers to come good.

Apparently he's 'digging his heels in' - wants to stay at CFC, and if not, go to WBA.

Ffs why would we loan Lukaku out again?

So much contradiction, now Everton are back in for him still.
Hope he does dig his heels in, Sky and Guardian saying he's requested a loan. I was looking forward to enjoying deadline day.

How hard would it have been to just ship Ba off instead

Lukaku and Mata being loaned and sold this window is poor from Mourinho.

He should have been able to find a place for Mata and tbh it seems to be a dislike of Spanish players more than anything about Mata's ability as a player.

Edit: Mata is meant to be very friendly with some of the Spanish Real players as well.

While annoying, provided there was no hard feelings here or doubts about his ability, essentially we have 4 strikers for 1 position. Jose probably thought he would get rid of torres/ba in the window, obviously torres working his socks off against bayern cemented his place(plus anyway nobody wants him as he's too pricey for his ability)

We did an error in not trimming our squad well enough. But it's better than having no depth.
I assume that ba doesn't want to go anywhere but a CL club and he doesn't want to loan him to arsenal or tottenham. I assume that torres is unsellable unless we pay for him to leave.

While eto'o coming in makes us stacked in the position, so we're forced to get rid of one of the 3 strikers. Moses going on loan destroys the homegrown quota, so that means unless we're getting rid of a keeper one player will not play. We know who I'd personally take out of the registration of the squad but he's 50m and has been a professional and works hard for the team.

That's reaching a bit isn't it? I'd assume someone like Jose is too professional to do that

Professional? I like Mourinho but if there is a man that can hold a grudge and throw his toys out of the pram then it is him! Willian is a case in point, just to spite AVB.
