Chelsea ban halved

. OK mate.

It's easy to laugh at this (for me at least) cos the ban's worked in our favor. If it hadn't I'd be a bit more serious

Fifa stinks. Brave statement from the club, but they need be shown for what they are

I'd hoped it would be extended!

January window historically not that exciting. Nice to have the option though. Personally I would only look at a LB. I would not look at any other position till the summer

I said as much on another thread about the same subject Biggish. I doubt any top quality talent for that position will be available in January, so I'd rather we just saved the money until the summer and splash out on three top players to compliment the youth!

I'd only look to bring in an attacking midfielder/striker. Move on Giroud and Pedro.

Emerson is a good player and Azpi is a good back up option for the LB position.

Exactly this.

Replacing Giroud in January is a must.

1. Depth purposes, Tammy unavailable...we're probably screwed (Bats has a commendable attitude but doesn't cut it as a starter, super sub damn good one at that).

2. The implications of not replacing Giroud will be problematic, Tammy could subconsciously lower his standard and become complacent (over the course of the season) without any tangible challenge/competition for the spot.
