The on topic thread

Because a perfectly good striker is/was being wasted on the bench, or played on the wing
ineffectually. Sturridge was effectively a Chelsea reject when we bought him.

Would we have won the cups with Studge leading the line instead if Drogs?

 

[Zidane98]

Lol. He was a caretaker manager who only held onto the job because of the cup wins.

Them some red tinted glasses that you wear.

You don't blame him at all for losing Sturridge?

You would have most likely won the title last season with Studge IMO.

 

[Zidane98]

Perhaps. Perhaps not. Either way his treatment of Sturridge cost you a future top class striker.

 

[Rough_Edges]

Yep.

It's why Emenalo is now Technical Director and doing a second to none job.

Only error was passing on Bony when they had the chance.

I've read that he had a look at him, and decided to go against him because he relied on his strength too much.

I'm glad we passed on Bony as he wouldn't suit our system.

No. He didn't want to do the work off the field apparently. It didn't work out and life goes on.

The great thing about beibg a Chelsea supporter is that there is always next season or the next player to come in being just as good as the one that's left.

Not sure Chelsea care about 'losing' sturridge.

They have Costa who is better. Not sure why people are bagging Di Matteo, didn't he win the UCL or am i going bonkers?

We certainly had a good look at him.

And now we have Costa and Remy. Who cares about Sturridge.

No way known we are winning either of those cups without Drogba leading the line.

Champions league, FA cup and had us flying in the league initially. Had the support of most supporters and majority felt his sacking was unjust.

 

[Cruyff14]

Drogba was better than all mentioned other Chelsea strikers in thread when they were at Chelsea.

 

[Rough_Edges]

Yeah good point.

Borini and Balo are better options than Bony

Also humorous that you say that you "passed" on Bony, when you offered 25m for him in the summer.

Yeah, i think Roman wanted someone more high profile didn't he? The players seemed to be behind him. Bit different to Avram Grant who the players didn't really like.

He ate his competition.

We were never in for Bony. Balo was only signed because he was available for 16m and was a poor signing.

 

[Zidane98]

Don't think anyone disagrees with that.

 

[Rough_Edges]

Please.

Bony and Jenkins had a bust up pre-season because he wouldn't sell following Liverpool's advances.

Just because you couldn't land the big fish, and in turn had to turn to someone Rodgers had ruled out signing....you don't need to make up stories.

There's no way you passed on Bony, and to say you did because he didn't "fit your system", is laughable, mate.

 

[Loonerty]

Nobody here has addressed the fact that WorldCup claimed that RAFA BENITEZ was the guy who cleaned up our squad?

What a great laugh.

The guy who cleaned up our squad is Mourinho with a lot of help from Emenalo.

 

[Thistle]

Yup don't think RDM ever had Roman's full support which is why he was dumped in an effort to land Guardiola at the time. Obviously that didn't work out which is why we appointed Rafa.

Sorry to disappoint you but we had Remy signed (and pulled out after his medical) and went for Balo afterwards because of his low fee.

Barrett said we did not submit a bid for Bony and any interest did not go further than a general enquiry.

If he was available for 16m we probably would have taken him.

 

[ADL9798]

OK FAITH.

Of all things anyone has ever said in this forum, this is by far the most offensive. You crossed the line pal

I thought Liverpool had a 'strategy' last transfer window and wouldn't 'do a Spurs'.

If that strategy was to stretch the Suarez money and bank on a number of decent players rather than a handful of good ones to do a job, you did a Spurs.
