Didier Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Well, that's a fantastic result. Can't wait to watch the highlights later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanyi Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Bertrand was indeed brilliant, moving him to the left wing was a great decision by Di Matteo (although I expect he'll be back at LB eventually) as his natural habits seem to be offensive, even though he's got very solid defensive capabilities too. As for the game, second half not so good, but we never particularly looked like losing despite Newcastle getting a few decent chances. Good to get a win and a clean sheet against a strong side, if we can just keep our performances consistent for the full ninety minutes, we'll be sorted for a strong push to reclaim the PL title.

tcoleman1 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 My judgement is no longer reserved, I'm in love. <3 That ship sailed for me after the last 2 games, he really has been brilliant, I hope he keeps it up and gets even better. Tbf the only thing I felt didn't go right for Torres yesterday apart from a few silly passes and touches is he seems to like to pass when a real shooting opportunity arises. 2 or 3 times yesterday he had a clear chance and he didn't have a shot. He found his pass but he could have worked the goalkeeper at least. Great from him and Hazard for that 2nd goal though. So glad we won as went for '1 drink' on Friday night with a mate which turned into a full blown night out causing me to miss the bus to London and have to fork out for a train. Couldn't have handled losing that game on top of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcoleman1 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 What did we supposedly bid for Willian which was rejected? £26million?

tcoleman1 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Managed to book a Norwich ticket. Got on there at 7am exactly and it didn't show up for a while so I was worried I got up for nothing. Luckily it then appeared and got a decent seat up in MHU which I think is my favourite place to sit. Shed Upper was good as well so might alternate between the two.

tcoleman1 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 So are we going to make a move for Schurrle again. Can only think that will happen if Sturridge goes. Otherwise he really wouldn't get much look in with all the players we would have. Haven't seen a lot of Schurrle (other than youtube clips) but his goal for Leverkusen against Barca was great even though they were already 5-0 down or whatever it was.

Weezer Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Are the youth player wages in Football Manager really accurate? Started a new game as Chelsea and tried to release a few youths and was seeing some pretty extortionate release fees. One particular player, George Saville, who apparently has the potential to play no higher than League 2 (and even that's debatable looking at his stats) was on a 4 year £5K pw contract and it would cost me £1 million to release him. Couple of other average looking prospects are on 10k pw too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridgekings Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Yeah sounds about right. Though that contrast looks worse as Saville is actually quite a tidy player. Nature of the game nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridgekings Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Though yeah there is every chance that's the most he'll earn in his career which is just bizarre when you think that he's done nothing in the game. See Michael Woods. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt1389 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Well that's a bit silly! Do people think we'll make any other signings, or are we done? Not sure we desperately need anything tbh, although we could sell a couple and probably not notice. A back up to Torres could be nice, but I'd rather trust in Sturridge or Mata (swear he played there for Valencia at times?) to move up as the AM positions are well enough stocked to cover.

You would think they figure they're covered at striker, or they wouldn't have loaned out Lukaku. Think, of course. Wouldn't be the first time Chelsea pulls one out of nowhere.
