Torres is too over rated

And who ever said Eto has had his day NO NO NO

He may be a bit old but to be honest he was better in his prime but the lad still has it

How much of Eto'o did you watch last season? He was dreadful in the Europa League. Yeah, he had a decent record in the Russian League but let's be honest, that league is no better than the bloody Championship.

Feels wrote The thing is, is you shouldn't have bought Eto'o (all-be-it on a free). You had Lukaku ready to start. It would have done him the world of good to get Champions League experience. Eto'o has lost a lot of his skill and pace and he's not as good as he used to be. Torres is well, being Torres and Demba Ba is a decent backup striker.

It's the same as Chelsea's attacking midfield situation. Willian, Schurrle, Hazard, De Bruyne, Mata and Oscar are all first team worthy midfielders. None of them are going to like being rotated around all the time. Sure, it's good to have strength in depth but I think you've [Chelsea] have over done it. I reckon a couple of them are going to leave, and I hope for your sake it isn't Mata and Hazard.


Lukaku is still too young and inexperienced to be our #1 Striker, he can do the job at West Brom, but he isn't ready yet to be #1 at Chelsea, competing for the title. It will definitely be better for him to stay on loan out at Everton.

Also, we need that many attacking midfielders, we play with a formation of 3 attacking midfielders and never will all of our top 3 be 100% match fit, once injuries start kicking in and we have mid week games, we will be able to always have a strong side out there competing to win games

Hmmm i do have to agree with you their but put faith in Mourinho he will restore 50% of Eto's former youth back to him assured

He scored 5 goals in Europa last season with Anzhi... Let's be honest, they didn't get very far in Europa so he did it in very few games, aswell as it being Anzhi. They have very little support for a striker like Eto'o. A lot less than Chelsea will offer him, that's for sure!

I disagree. Lukaku has the attributes to play at top-level football. He just needs that experience, and how do you get it? By playing games. Also, regarding the attacking midfield situation, you don't need that many top AM's. When Jose finds his favourite among the six, the others will be surplus to requirements and forced to be benched until as you say, other players aren't match fit. They're not going to like sitting on the bench.

That is true -Brad i do feel that Eto wont be as effective he will need a little bit of time to adapt but not like Torres, Eto will surely be scoring goals galore in no time

several ready to play? several ready to play?

several ready to play?

We don't have 1 striker, did you not see the game against Everton? 21 shots and couldn't even get a single goal! It's been the same for the past 2 seasons!

Exactly, Lukaku is lacking experience. He is too inexperienced to play #1 at Chelsea, it's way too much pressure for the kid. He will play a lot more games at Everton that he would have at Chelsea & he will do much better there.

You think that our top 3 AMs will always be 100% match fit? I can tell you now, that 90% of our games, only 1 of the 3 will be 100% fit. Don't expect any of our top AMs to be on the becnch resting for more than 2 games consecutively
