with scholes returning from out of nowhere, does anyone else get the feeling that SAF will not be going after a new mid until next transfer window?


He said he wasn't planning on it before Scholes. Now I guess hes really not planning on it.

What is this kid, the German Neymar? He looks like a douche.

Hazard would fit in so much better at Arsenal. I don't think Chelsea would use his talent correctly.

Still, frick that.

Yeah, he does look like a douche but he's a better player.

You seem to have a habit of overcompensating on your evaluations of overhyped players. And by habit, I mean twice. And by overhyped, I mean Hazard and Neymar.

Chelsea adding anyone during the transfer window (outside of Cahill) would completely break my spirit. frick our board, but also (to a lesser extent) frick Arsene for settling for mediocrity. Don't tell us there's money and then not spend any.

Yeah maybe so but I just give my opinions on what I've seen in games. Maybe Hazard will go to England and play well.. that wouldn't surprise me. However, I'm not ready to anoint him as anyone's savior.

I often compare people to German players because that's the league I watch the most and I think Marco Reus is pretty underrated.

Does Chelsea use anyone's talent correctly?

I was going to say their accountants but with their relationship with Avram Grant, I doubt they treat the Jews too well.

Real life imitating my FIFA:

Azpilicueta has been frequently linked with a £12 million transfer to Andre Villas-Boas' side and the Spanish right-back said he would be happy to join a "great club" to help boost his chances of playing for the national team.

mathematics proves that they are just going to sit on the money and let it effectively go to waste.

not spending money = not making it to champions league next season = losing money

therefore by power of transitive property.... not spending money = losing money

Gale Agbossoumonde, 20 yrs old, turns down a MLS contract . . .which in my opinion is good news and bad news . .. his current contract is owned by Traffic Sports, who has fricked him since he was what 15 year old ?, and it runs out in a year.

He isn't getting playing time now, but he wants to return to Europe after he becomes a FA in a year. I can understand the kid not wanting another contract to tie him down to somewhere he doesn't really want to be. HOWEVER, he is going to play for a UASL team !?

Boss should have signed with MLS. Personally, I think he's an idiot.

Keisuke Honda to Lazio for €12m? Would be a hell of a pickup. MUFC also rumored to be interested.

He actually expressed a desire to play for the US but he has never been eligible... LeToux is not even a citizen yet I don't think.
