Football The 2009/2010 Season Thread

Haha, Fabregas just implied that Chelsea are an average side!


"Overall, I saw a Chelsea team that was normal but a team that has probably the best striker in the world.

"An average team that has the best striker in the world can always do something and Didier Drogba makes all the difference."

BBC Sport - Football - Cesc Fabregas admits Arsenal need to sign a big striker

I'm not saying they are but in that game would you not agree? For large parts their midfield played second fiddle to ours but with about 10 touches Drogba got 2 goals?

 

[Bahumat]

When they say bigger striker, do they mean a giant like Steffan Maiyerhoffer?

I don't disagree with that at all bud, just it made me laugh when he implied they are an average side with a brilliant striker. The guy has brass balls.

 

[Turamber]

Not sure I'd go about calling a team that beat my side 3-0 at home "average". One wonders what that would make my own team in the grand scheme of things.

A bit of arrogance is good in a player and needed in a manager, but it shouldn't stop them from having a clarity of judgement.

 

[megadave]

I guess that makes Arsenal a shit side

 

[soze]

I think Cesc was talking about that one game not Chel$ki in general. In that case he is right the midfield was average the defense and attack were brilliant.

Sergio Aguera available for £55m.

I can see Chelsea being extremely busy in January.

Granted it's a game, but in Football Manager Sergio Aguero has a 52million pound release clause. Maybe that's why Atletico keep quoting that price?

It is in his contract iirc

 

[Corran]

all players in the spanish league have a buyout clause in the contract, it a legal requirement or something..

exactly what it is for htis guy i dont know, be interesting to find out. But it could be less then what gets thrown around (ie the 55m or so) however they stick to that so opening bid is way above what they are required to accept and they make more out of it.

 

[gohan]

i'd be like

1 mill


no



2 mill?


no


3 mill?

no


i can go on all day

 

[megadave]

aguero would also demand over 200k a week so combine that with his fee and he's not going anywhere

dunno not all players are *****, some would play for moreorless the same money aslong as it was the right club ect

 

[megadave]

that's how much it'd cost to pay him his current wages in england due to differences in tax laws

 

[CorNokZ]

Hey Aoln..

APOEL

 

[megadave]

top of group and undefeated. /flex

drew a nothing game, dont really care except Essien got injuried :<

 

[CorNokZ]

Atleast we won against APOEL at home.. And we are still undefeated at home in CL eventho teams such as Man U, Celtic and Benfica has visited

 

[megadave]

atleast we won away, or should i say atleast we qualified and are still in the competition. maybe if you were then teams would have a chance to beat you at home
