I think he is referring to The Chelsea and how stacked they are for this coming season.

Truth.

For my money it's a City/Chelsea coin flip this year.

Have any of y'all been to Stamford Bridge? I'm going to be in London in a couple of weeks and noticed Chelsea is playing Real Sociedad.

There are tickets in the Matthew Harding Upper for 20 pounds and in the Matthew Harding Lower for 15 pounds.

I was surprised that the lower ones were cheaper.

Any thoughts on which would make for a better overall experience? ( The price difference isn't a big deal, but I don't mind saving money if there won't be a big difference in experiences )

Any help would be appreciated.

I have sat a few rows up in Mathew Harding upper and it was a great view of the game. The real rowdy fans are down there in first 10 rows of the lower if that is what you are looking for, but I think you have a better view by far from the upper.

this was my view

Thanks Joe Cole!

It turns out they didn't have 2 together in the lower anyway, so I went with the upper.

Looks like a great view from your video!

Lukaku to Everton looks like done deal. 5 years for $50 is what NBCS is saying.

$50, that's a good deal for Everton!

Selling Lukaku becomes an issue in a number of ways.

Obviously we would need to bring in a replacement, that's #1

But I think it also messes with our homegrown and/or English numbers so it might necessitate other moves as well.

The Torres signing/contract continue to cripple the club. Very sad to see Luk go, but it was always going to happen. Sadly, his last kick for CFC was an awful penalty vs Bayern. The thing that really hurts is the homegrown listing

This was the most recent list I saw

Foreign Players (17)
1. Cech
2. Courtois
3. Schwarzer
4. Ivanovic
5. Luis
6. Dave
7. Matic
8. Ramires
9. Mikel
10. MvG
11. Romeu
11. Oscar
12. Willian
13. Marin
14.. Schurrle
15. Oscar
16. Hazard
17. Salah
18. Torres
19. Costa
20. Drogba

Homegrown (8)
1. JT
2. Cahill
3. Fabregas
4. Lukaku
5. Bertrand
6. Moses
7. McEachran
8. Kakuta

Under 21
1. Ake
2. Zouma
3. Baker
4. Christensen
5. Bamford
6. Blackman
7. Kane
8. Chalobah
9. Loftus Cheek
10. Brown
11. Solanke
12. Feruz
13. Saville
14. Clifford
15. Boga

Out on Loan
Kalas
Hazard
Wallace (U 21)
Traore (U21)
Cuevas (U21)- still pending but very likely
Piazon
Omeruo
Pasalic

Work Permit
Delac

Whats the ratio for homegrown again? And how many years do they have to play in England to be considered?

Smith you know I like £50M and I don't quite know why either. When Jose doesn't rate someone they don't play. Jose has come out in the media praising his hard work. He at least tries compared to lukaku.

Giroud had 16 goals in 36 appearances in the EPL...Torres had 5 goals in 28 appearances. I'll take Giroud any day

Torres has one of these. Giroud has zero.

£50M also has scored quite a few goals in Europe. I'm not sure how many Giroud has scored. £50M has nearly a goal every other game in Europe.

I doubt he starts more than 5 games for Manchester City, but he does get them compliant with the home grown player quota.

Giroud has 5 goals in 16 Champions League games for Arsenal.

Torres has 10 goals in 29 Champions League games for Chelsea.

I'll give Torres credit- lots of it- for his scoring record in Europa league (6 goals in 9 games), but his goals came against Rubin Kazan (3), Steau Bucharest, Basel, and Benfica.

You still have to go play the game and score the goals, but the drop in form when the opponents were better is quite clear. He did score a good 3 goals in 6 Champions League games before Chelsea were eliminated that year, but 2 of those came against Nordsjaelland; they gave up 22 goals in their 6 group games.

I'll still take Giroud and whatever production we got from all the money we didn't have to spend on him.
