Can't beleive you have to wait 15 feckin minutes between each article.
Have to wonder if some of his lapses earlier on in the season were due to Barca's supposed interest. Was playing as though he had something distracting him imo. Or maybe that's just me being generous to him not playing to well. Has been better recently. Especially today.
Accoding to Jody Morris, Chalobah was the best player on the pitch today for Watford started as a CM,ended as a RB.
Laters fellas - McDonalds run
I defended Torres on Wednesday because he actually did ok and Juve have a great defence- also our midfield was balls.
But I'll be honest, even I thought he was crap today.
Mr C - We still would have got a big fee for him as he still had a few years left. Bigger wages for him and extra certainty for us that he will stay.
McDonald's give you the runs.
There is a debate over whether he signed a 4 and a half year deal or 5 and a half dea when he first came.
But what's definitely true is that doesnt matter anymore.
The agent of Robert Lewandowski has made it clear that the striker is not thinking about leaving Borussia Dortmund just yet, insisting that he is committed to seeing out his contract with the Bundesliga champions despite having been heavily linked with Chelsea and Manchester United in the summer following his performances at Euro 2012.
“We are not thinking about a potential move to a European top club at this point,” he to
“We have an ongoing contract with Dortmund, and were fully aware of the terms of the deal when we signed it. We will honour his current deal.
“That doesn’t mean that we can’t say it when another team is interested in signing Robert, though.
“Fortunately, the transfer window is already closed and Robert’s completely focused on Borussia Dortmund.
“He’s only thinking about the Bundesliga season, the next DFB Pokal trophy, and Champions League progress.
“Robert is the best striker in the Bundesliga football-wise, and still has plenty of room for improvement. He doesn’t get as much attention as some of the other players at BVB.
“That’s an advantage for Robert and allows him to develop quietly.”
So few clubs have fanbases on here outside Liverpool, Spurs, Man Utd, Chelsea, and Arsenal. City and Newcastle have some, but take the stoke board for example- empty since August 26th.
So-so first half :
- lost pretty much every header
- wasted an excellent 1on1 chance because of a heavy first touch.
+ hold up the ball well when played in his feet
+ good in buildup play
Baggies are playing a shocking match though, passing has been abysmal, they are in dire need of a decent playmaker.
2nd half :
Improved his performance with a couple of good runs and scored a goal, was lucky to score with a shot in the dead centre of the goal.
Subbed off at 77'
Summary of Lukaku's performance
So what's this new contract for? Ensure we get a big fat fee for him?

Gourlay would prefer a big fee of fat

CHELSEA POSITIVE ABOUT FINANCIAL DISCUSSIONS
Posted on: Sat 22 Sep 2012
The term Financial Fair Play is now firmly established in the football lexicon thanks to European regulations already having an impact on the game. Similar terms are now starting to be heard in conjunction with the English game following news that the Premier League clubs are soon to discuss regulated spending across the top flight.
Chelsea Football Club has already made it clear we are in favour of financial stability being promoted on the European stage, and our general support is extended to the Premier League, despite some reports to the contrary.
UEFA's Financial Fair Play (FFP) makes up part of an extensive set of criteria that clubs across Europe must comply with to be licenced to take part in UEFA club competitions, primarily the Champions League and the Europa League.
The principle of FFP was agreed back in September 2009 with UEFA declaring several objectives to promote more disciplined football club finances, decreasing pressure on salaries and transfer fees and encouraging clubs to compete within their revenues. It encourages investment in youth development and infrastructure and is aimed at protecting the long-term viability of European club football, as well as ensuring clubs settle their liabilities on a timely basis.
The obligation is for the clubs over a fixed period to achieve a break-even figure when expenditure is measured against the income from football-related activities. The implementation period began in summer 2011, two years after FFP was first announced. There was a long period of discussion, debate and involvement of the clubs before the regulations became live and this is worth bearing in mind in light of potential Premier League regulation.
The first season UEFA will consider sanctions for clubs under FFP rules is 2013/14.
'From Chelsea's point of view, we have been working very hard to comply with FFP criteria,' says Chief Executive Ron Gourlay.
'We are still very much in favour of rules promoting financial stability in clubs and protecting the long-term future of football across Europe. We did have and still do have concerns about the fairness of rules across the whole of Europe because we think that is going to be very difficult.
'There is a financial panel that is going to manage this process and control any sanctions and refuse any licences, and they have to deal with different currencies, different taxation levels and different types of stadium ownership. Trading legislation is different across Europe as well. Making this fair is going to be quite challenging.'
Potential new financial regulations in the Premier League were initially discussed in a shareholders meeting in May. There are further meetings to discuss this topic over the next couple of weeks but it is likely a range of proposals will be considered.
'It wouldn't really be appropriate to comment ahead of these meetings,' says Gourlay, 'but Chelsea are very much in favour of rules that promote financial stability for clubs across the domestic game as well as the European game.
'What form that will take is unknown which is why the member clubs are going to sit down and discuss this. We will look at the integrity of the competition and how we want to operate as a league in the future. We compete in the biggest league in the world and we have to protect that.'
It is only logical that the top Premier League clubs who compete regularly in Europe and are therefore already working towards Financial Fair Play will be well placed to comply with any new domestic criteria. It is illogical that a club such as Chelsea already supporting the stabilisation of finances across the continent wouldn't want the same at home.
'We have been very active commercially as we strive to meet the obligations of FFP,' explains Gourlay.
'We added several new global partners to our portfolio over the summer and we have been exploring naming rights. These are part of ensuring we can balance the relevant football income with the relevant football expenses.
'We have geared ourselves up for the financial regulatory structure now in place in Europe, and would like to think that we could develop an appropriate set of financial stability regulations to apply to all Premier League clubs.
'Everyone at the club is working hard to comply with the rules and we will participate positively in the Premier League's forthcoming meetings.'
It is a surprise that we are having trouble with the naming rights. I do think the club will be looking for a big fee in return which will put a lot of suitors off.
He also got MOTM according to goal.com.

I think the club is being overly ambitous with naming rights fees.
Btw, I hear Samsung extended their shirt deal with us, almost agaisnt our wishes.
make a claim for a starting place.

Sturridge is injured still?
Npe - They did a while ago. Think it is a 1 year extension. They (Samsung) were waiting on the outcome of the CL which is what most of the financial papers were reporting.
It was back in November last year i think that the papers were reporting we wanted at least 100M for any naming rights deal.
RDM I think said he'll probably be back against Wolves.
Just had a look. The papers were saying we wanted a 100M fee for the naming rights for a 10 year deal.
Torres is brilliant. Wouldn't have won without him
