The SNH Football thread

Yeah stuck with him but we still play him quite regularly for someone who'd have been long gone if we could flog him. Lukaku gets dumped out on loan while we're forced to play that overpriced waste of skin.

At least Torres doesn't shoot his mouth off constantly to the press

[Muncey]

True, still Lukaku is just one example of many. We hate players who aren't big named or established.

Especially Jose unfortunately he doesn't like developing or giving a chance to the youth players. He likes players already estanlished.

[Johoosh]

Lukaku can fuck off. Good riddance. He's not good enough to be a no 1 striker for Chelsea. We're Chelsea not Everton. Tnuc.

Loooooool

Lukaku was shaping up to be a top 10 striker in the world. Chelsea's attitude boggles me, theyre in a financial position where they dont HAVE to sell if a good offer comes around (unlike say Everton & Rooney ott mi head) & have been looking for a long-term solution up front post-Drog... Youd think Lukaku would be ideal.

Only 28 mill too, another 1/2 seasons of that form and i could see Real/City/PSG dumping 50+ for him

[murky21]

yep muncey and johoosh on the money really.
Sell the new drogba and buy back the old one (???)

If Costa settles immediately and goes on to put away 25 league goals, Chelsea are probably favourites for the title
BUT Costa has every chance of not acclimatizing to the prem is his first season, it happens to a lot of people, and in which case Lukaku would have been the perfect, prem-proven deputy. madness really

Costa had a very important physical advantage in la liga

This.. but not only this imagine an injury! If he gets injured you have to rule us out of winning the prem. If we can win with 36 year old Drogba and a 3 legged horse give Jose copious gold stars but that ain't happening.

I'm tempted, begrudgingly, to tip Arsenal to finish above us this season. Squads looking solid.

People talking up Arsenal too much, as it stands Sanchez is the only difference from last season

[Muncey]

Your squad depth in general is better I reckon which is a biggy.

If Giroud gets a knock tho we are stuck with Sanogo or playing Walcott or Sanchez down the middle, which isnt ideal.

plus a fit squad
diaby walcott oxlade ozil ramsey etc.
it's important that afc sort out the susceptibility of players to injury

still far from favourites though

[hubb]

they should have fired anyone involved in the medical department for years tbh

its a travesty and its below the standards of any sports team i've ever heard about

I rate Walcott upfront, reckon he should have left Arsenal a long time ago to play for a lower club down the middle.. had potential. Sanogo/Walcott isn't as bad as 36 yr old Drog and Torres as a backup

Wasn't Joel Campbell comming back?

[Forum]

Wasn't Joel Campbell comming back?

He's being linked with a loan move to AC Milano

[murky21]

Wenger has just come out in a press conference saying Campbell is part of his plans, and will play against benefica on saturday. also quintero thing looks to be bullshit, but he said last 2 weeks of transfer window should be busy (i imagine and hope it will be the new CB and DMF everyone is expecting).

Think a healthy squad will make a big difference for afc this season tbf

[hubb]

probably to get Balo in some sort of return favour - makes sence

would rather have campbell tbh

[murky21]

campbell is a no brainer to be honest, i'd throw him and sanogo on every game we have a comfortable lead + league cup

[Forum]

His fitness was poor at the world cup, hope he's been working on it..
