Mou always wants more players lol. When they win, HE won. When they lose, the PLAYERS lost.

Btw Guardiola as Barcelona+Bayern coach: 16 titles out of 23 possible. Just as many as he won as a player, in total.

Yeah because the team we have is lacking in two departments.
1. Midfield, notably the holding midfield role.
We have no one that can break up the play and the find a good quick pass to the likes of Hazard/Mata/Oscar/Willian/Schurrle etcetc. We find one of those, ie a Pirlo esc player we will finally replace Lampard/Mikel
2. Striker, Chelsea have 3 strikers at the club who have not scored an away goal in the league all year, that isn't good.

That is all we lack, but you need 3 players probably, 2 midfielders 1 striker.
Plus when transfer window is around Chelsea is linked with every player under the sun which is not our fault xD
(well i guess it kind of is from what we started back in 2004 but still...xD)

Yes but it is embarrassing because we sold him to you as part of the deal for Luiz
Buying back old players for the price you want for him is STUPID business xD Even if he is like the next best thing.
There is a bit of pride in Chelsea im sure

It's silly that you bought so many midfielders and you're still saying you need more.. That's just a really really bad transfer policy from your club.

Lol we bought Van Ginkel to play in the role i just described and he was injured. We have Mikel Lampard and Essien to play those positions and they have all been found wanting, thus the reason we need more
Van Ginkel is the biggest loss, for him personally and for us. He would of played so much if it wasn't for his injury due to how shit those positions have been for us.

We don't need any attacking midfielders we have plenty of options there, just the holding midfielders we don't have the right quality.

So instead of buying all those attacking midfielders Mourinho could've bought a holding midfielder.

Van Ginkel wouldn't even be good enough even if he played. He's talented but he only played well for a whilr at Vitesse you can't expect him to be Chelsea level already m

Yeah but the training with the better players and being young and eager i could of seen him being better than say Lampard and Essien. Maybe not the experience of Mikel but still a good solid box to box youngster.

Yeah we might of needed to buy a holding mid instead your right, but the attacking options we have numbers wise are just right, 2 RW 2 LW 2 CAMs the perfect number? XD

But now Chelsea is playing 4-3-3 xD

They have Hazard, Mata, Oscar, Schuerrle, Willian, and KDB for two positions (and that's after they loaned out Moses and Marin). A couple weeks ago I was advocating for KDB to play central midfield, since he did at Bremen last season, but I don't think that is happening now lol.

We played 4-3-3 that game cuz we wanted to /defend before we attack xD
4-3-3 gives us the option of being strong and resilient due to having our wingers already trained to track back and our 3 CMs used to defending

However i do prefer if we did play 4-3-3 instead of 4-2-3-1 as i think it's alot better for us

our 3 mids could be Oscar - Gurain - Ramires which would be an awesome midfield.

We take Drogba back no worries :D
Also do you think Sneijder will go in January or the summer? As the interest from Yanited seems to be gathering a lot of pace.

He said he will stay Gala until the summer. As far i know Yanited ready to give 20M or so. If Yanited is really in need of creative playmaker, they can just give 30M and take him in January.

Chelsa should chase after Hulk. He belongs to PL with that physics.

Apparently Mourinho felt it was more important to snub Tottenham and buy Willian for the gloating rights instead of looking for an immediate replacement for Essien or Mikel Or maybe Abramovich did...

Good point, I do think that the large amount of attacking players was certainly Abramovich's idea. I'm sure Mourinho brought in a list of defensive players.
