Under 21's (Notable)

Hazard E
Romeu
Oscar

 

If there is a God, Malouda will be out of here within the next month and a half

 

Hope Benayoun goes too.

 

Definitely

 

I'm fairly sure that Hazard doesn't have to be included. I think that as long as a player is under 21 at 01/01/12 then he counts as u21.

 

Why do you two want Benayoun to go? The guys quality and a very good and useful squad player. 10 times better than Meireles, Essien and Malouda

 

10 times... really?

His wages will not reflect his ability in the slightest and I'd rather give Piazon/De Bruyne a go

 

Mmmm Piazon and De Bruyne bit too young and inexperienced atm Drogs. Benayoun as seen at Arsenal last season is still a quality squad player and say Mata or Hazard need a rest then he can cover or play the odd carling cup game, or even come on as a impact sub, he is very good at that.
He also has a really good personality and is a good role model / player to have at the club.

Essien is sadly past it now
Malouda... well is Malouda ( garbage )
And Meireles is too hit and miss for my liking, alright at defending and the odd screamer but apart from that his passing and shooting isn't up to the standard.
Obviously we have Oscar coming in but Yossi could still stay for another year.
Hopefully we let the top 3 go and bring in one more centre midfielder / pivot player e.g. Moutinho or Modric or even a low-key one like Fellani, or i know i'm dreaming but Sahin, i'd love us to get him

 

Never rated him as his decision making is poor and he runs into opponent players losing the ball in the process.

 

Hey CPofL, you've got Torres in twice, at 13 and 15. id put Kakuta up into top 20 in that case.

 

Make room for Oscar--he's passed his med--and about to become a Chelsea star!

Under 21's like Lukaku,Hazard,Oscar,Romeu don't need to be counted.

 

I disagree and also after the way in which he publically expressed his delight when Arsenal beat us he can fook off to them as far as I'm concerned

 

De Bruyne gone on loan to Werder Bremen.

 

Also 8 of the 25 over 21's have to have trained for three years between age 15-21 in the UK.

 

You just compared a play maker, winger and two variations on a box to box midfielder. Doesn't work like that. And in our current squad Essien and Miereles are far more useful than Yossi.

 

I do hope so Drogs, can't actually see what use Paulo's going to be either but I suppose no-one will pay the wages he's getting here!

 

Yep, no question!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Terry,Cahill,Cole,Hutchinson,Bertrand,Lamps,Sturridge & Turnbull
