Is he still not being offered another contract? That's a shame

if mourinho becomes the manager, I think it's likely Lampard stays, because Mourinho is a big supporter of his and would have enough leverage to force the contract out of RA.

otherwise, he's gone.

Frank was going to take his shirt off to celebrate, but realized he already had a yellow card.

Eden Hazard "extremely doubtful" for the Europa final on Wednesday per Rafa, and John Terry is going in for x-rays.

New kit is available:

http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3177361/title/new-kit-in-store-now

Which means y'all get to help me pick out my first shirt/jersey/???. Over lunch I worked up this spreadsheet to help me decide. I grew up a hockey fan, and I always liked Bill Guerin because he specialized in the Gordie Howe Hat Trick...a Goal, an Assist, and a Fight. So this spreadsheet helps me calculate the Guerin Index. I grabbed the current year stats off Goal.com for most of the regulars, to save time. I then weighted the metrics by general position, using some help from a buddy. Here's what I came up with:



I really like Mata anyway, so that's a good sign. It also indicates that £50M may not be as horrible as some think, but I'm not getting a Torres jersey anyway.

Other considerations:
  • Eden Hazard seems like too easy a choice right now. I'd like to be a little unique.
  • I love Frank Lampard, but I don't like the uncertainty around his future with the club.
  • Ramires is an interesting choice. Doesn't score a lot, but his goals are spectacular and in big games.
  • David Luiz is too volatile. Great goals but gets schooled on defense from time to time.
  • It's really hard to apply rates to Defenders.
  • I threw Marko Marin in with the Fwds just because
  • John Terry - Controversial, but Brave & Loyal
  • I gave Cech credit for a goal for his PK save in a Champions League match.


What say you? I'm also open to reweighting, so throw your input here.

In the meantime, I'm going actually...work....or something.

I would get Mata or Luiz.

Lampard is a legend.

Even if he leaves next season, there's no shame in sporting #8. Same with the Drogs or Zola for that matter.

IMO, Luiz or Oscar are the faces of the franchise for the next decade.

Falcoa to Monaco, btw. Third party transfers are a *****.

Yep. Source

This is the same source who broke the Pep to Bayern news. Seems to take transfer news seriously. Anyway, Falcao is owned by an investor group who decides where best to have him play.

Monaco is set to be promoted to Ligue Un, with the backing of another Russian billionairre, will be attempting to spend more than PSG. Word is that FFP doesn't apply to them since they are their own principality.

Other rumors are Mancini and Tevez a.t.m.

Super Frank is a no brainer, except for the fact that I wouldn't want a Drogba kit from the years AFTER he played for the club. I think Lamps is going to be back, but I'm not dropping 150 on a hunch.

Mata or Oscar would be good choices. I think I am going with Luiz. Solid young player that shines. His D came up a LOT at the end of the year, and seeing him play up more and more I think he'll continue to grow and mature.

Here is the collection I've been meaning to share with you guys. It's about 78% Chelsea with the rest being DFB, USA & a few Bayern, Dynamo, United (shut it) & KNVB...

My current count is 193 with two more on there way in the mail & one on pre-order...

So 196 total....This doesn't include my Astros, Texans or A&M jerseys...

Scriffer,

Kits I currently own from this season:

GK - blank
GK - Cech - EPL
GK - Cech - CL (barf)

Home - SS - blank
Home - SS - Hazard - EPL
Home - SS - Hazard - CL (barf)

Away - SS - blank

3rd - SS - blank

I just ordered a Home - SS -Luiz - Europa League after this goal:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX_TpP_kYhw


Next years home kit is on its way as well the Luiz EL...I also already pre-ordered our GK - blank for next season...

I try to stick with one player (I chose Hazard, my old fav was the drog) or get kits based on crazy goals or monumental games. In the event that I would ever liquidate my collection, the kits that have historical value or sick goals will always go for more £££!

I'll let you know how our new kit fits...it should be at the house this Wednesday or Thursday.

I might order a Home - SS - Lamps if this ends up being his last season. Too bad he didn't get his brace this past week in our Home kit. I hateeeeee our 3rd kit... fits like poo poo.
