Só tem piada com o Deus Heskey.

Segundo a imprensa andamos entre Ilori, Papadopoulos e Alderweireld para centrais e Grenier, Rakitic, Eriksen e Mkhitaryan para o meio campo.

 

Duvido que consigam qualquer um destes 2

Okore muito perto do Villa.

Barcelona: Torres para acabar com a “Messi-dependência

 

É com este argumento que o jornal catalão Sport elege Fernando Torres como principal alvo do Barcelona para a próxima temporada. Tito Vilanova quer apostar num ponta-de-lança de raiz e elegeu o internacional espanhol, que parece não entrar nos planos de José Mourinho no Chelsea.

 

O Sport sublinha que reforçar o ataque é o principal objetivo «para acabar com a cada vez mais crescente e alarmante Messi-dependência». Por aceitar alternar a titularidade com o banco de suplentes, Torres parece as escolha indicada para os dirigentes do clube catalão, ficando Tito Vilanova com três opções de topo para a frente de ataque, juntando o espanhol ao astro argentino e ao recém-contratado Neymar.

 

O Barcelona está a ponderar uma oferta na ordem dos 20 milhões de euros e a preparar um contrato de quatro anos para Torres.

[Kimi Raikkonen]

Mas qual é mesmo a ideia de contratar o Torres? É para passarem a jogar em 4-2-3-1 com o Iniesta na Esquerda, Neymar e Messi atras do Torres sem posiçao fixa?

Manchester United fixa preço de Nani em 10 milhões de euros

O Manchester United estará, segundo a «Sky Sports», disponível para deixar sair Nani do clube, embora já tenha rejeitado uma proposta do Galatasaray pelo extremo português.

O presidente do clube turco, Unal Aysal, diz que ofereceu sete milhões de euros por Nani, mas que a proposta foi recusada porque o United quer dez milhões.

Perante o valor pedido pelos red devils, o Galatasaray anunciou que desiste de contratar o português. 19:47 - 12-06-2013

Que pechincha.

[Kimi Raikkonen]

O Nani a sair será para um novo rico, porque duvido que esteja na disposiçao de ir para um clube tipo Inter (actualmente), Liverpool, Tottenham, Porto, Napoles ganhar possivelmente menos e tentar voltar para outro gigante.

[Eden Hazard]

A juventus está em olho nele, creio.

O Torres era interessante para o lugar do Villa.

[Mr. White]

Ainda há dias disse por aí que gostava de ver o Torres no Barcelona. Parece que me ouviram.

Deixo-vos aqui uma análise retirada deste site ao desempenho individual de cada jogador do Chelsea relativo à época passada.

 

 

After winning the Europa League and confirming our top four spot and as the end of the season dawns it's only right that we sit down and analyse how well each of our players have performed and where we go from here heading into the future. I will analyse and evaluate the general performance of each player in the first team squad at Chelsea FC and give them a rating out of 10. Please do remember that these ratings are in the view of my own opinion and are in no way definitive.

 

Goalkeepers:

 

1. Petr Cech

 

Another solid season from our evergreen goalkeeper Petr Cech. Whilst he hasn't had to perform his Munich heroics over the year, he has still at times single handily kept us in games. Not much to say about Petr apart from the fact that he has been one of our most consistent players this season and has also grown as a leader. Still one of the best in the world.

 

Rating: 8/10

 

22. Ross Turnbull

 

Unspectacular season from Ross, in what looks like to be his last season at CFC with his contract expiring. In the handful appearances he did make though he was mostly dreadful. Ross made 7 appearances this season for us, in which we lost games against Swansea and QPR, whilst also drawing against Reading and Brentford. Chelsea must look for a more competent second choice goalkeeper next season, preferably homegrown.

 

Rating: 2/10

 

40. Hilario

 

Defenders:

 

28. Cesar Azpilicueta

 

A break through season for the young 23 year old Spaniard who has done remarkably well to establish himself as Chelsea's number 1 right back. An excellent defender, Cesar has exceeded expectations and deservedly won his first Spanish cap after some stellar performances at Chelsea. One thing young Cesar can improve on though is his attacking prowess. Whilst not bad at getting forward and providing the team width, Cesar needs to work on consistently putting in accurate crosses for the benefit of his team. Definitely one of the better RB this season in the PL. All in all, not a bad first season at all from the young man, who has great potential.

 

Rating: 8/10

 

2. Branislav Ivanovic

 

Quite an average season for Branislav. Started the season relatively poorly by his standards but slowly got back in to form as the season progressed. A fierce defender on his day, he has been quite solid after featuring more at centre back than right back this season where he became one of our better defenders as the year went on. Still provides excellent versatility as he's able to slot back in right back at any time - but this season has shown that his main position is probably at centre back, which will be an interesting conundrum for the club to look at. Do we give Ivanovic a starting berth or should we look at other options? Overall, an okay season for Branislav, who remains an excellent player for the squad.

 

Rating: 7.5/10

 

19. Paulo Ferreira

 

Our ever-present veteran defender hasn't had much to do this season, but he's always performed decently whenever called upon. A great influence on the squad, it's a shame that it's his last season with us due to his contract expiring. Loyal servant and Paulo are quite the synonym, so it's best we wish him best in his next career move. Thanks for the memories, Paulo.

 

Rating: 5/10

 

4. David Luiz

 

Luiz has been a breath of fresh air to many of us this season. Constantly berated for his proneness to mistakes in defence, Luiz started the season with a reputation of being a erratic centre half and he has done exceptionally well to turn that notion around. Defensively, Luiz has become a lot more consistent and has often been called and heralded by some Chelsea fans as their best defender this season. Luiz has also shown great versatility and performed well when placed in midfield where he has performed at a solid level. He has this season evolved as a player and shown that he can be a great leader, often being called the future captain by some. It has been a stellar season for Luiz, who'll look to establish himself even further next season.

 

Rating: 8.5/10

 

24. Gary Cahill

 

An indifferent season for Gary. Some thought that after last seasons heroics in the Champions League that he'd push on as John Terry's successor but unfortunately he's all but confirmed this season that he'll never get to that world class level as a centre back. He however, does remain an excellent 3rd choice centre back and squad player. He has also reminded everyone of his finishing ability - grabbing 6 goals this season as of date. A great player to have around the squad that has done a decent job despite being overplayed this season in my honest opinion - mostly due to John Terry's injury ravaged campaign.

 

Rating: 7/10

 

26. John Terry ©

 

Overall, an injury ravaged campaign that saw John miss out on quite a few games. John has still provided the team with leadership and was great at the start of the season when we raced to the top of the league before he got injured. John still provides that presence whenever he plays and the defence in general look a lot more coordinated when he's in it but he's not the John Terry of old - he now struggles to play 2 games a week which is natural after the way John has put his body on the line for this club. Still a great defender to have around and a great leader of the squad, overall John has had a decent season and played a major role in our run to the Europa League final.

 

Rating: 6.5/10

 

3. Ashley Cole

 

Mr. Consistency. Still impervious at the back - maybe not as flying going forward as he was before but still a great asset to the squad. Ashley's had a good season, often his good performances have gone unnoticed simply due to the consistency in his performances; it's almost normal for Ashley to have a good game. While he is getting older and therefore can't get up and down the pitch as often as he used to, and has lost some of his defensive tenacity, he is still a great offensive outlet and very astute at the back. Solid season from Mr. Cole, who recently signed an one year contract extension. Hope to see the same solidness in his play next season.

 

Rating: 7.5/10

 

34. Ryan Bertrand

 

It has been a difficult season for young Ryan - who was seen by many after last season as Ashley Cole's potential heir. Provided he's rarely had the opportunity to show what he can do at left back (constantly being played out of position at the left wing), Bertrand managed to redeem himself somewhat when Ashley Cole came down with injury for a few games. He was given a consistent run in at left back and showed that he has the potential to be a good player there. Whether or not he's good enough to eventually replace Ashley Cole remains to be seen.

 

Rating: 6.5/10

 

Midfielders:

 

7. Ramires

 

The underrated man. Ramires has had another good season, quietly going about his business and always giving his all to the team even though the formation deployed by our managers didn't often suit him the best. Ramires is a shuttler, a true box to box midfielder, but was often deployed as our defensive midfielder or even out wide, which prohibited his strongest abilities somewhat. His best performances came when he played next to a true defensive midfielder (often Mikel) which freed him from his shackles and allowed him to give us the all action performances we've come to associate his performances with over his Stamford Bridge career. <br

 

Rating: 8/10

 

8. Frank Lampard

 

Mr. 203. Super Frank Lampard has fulfilled another season full of goals, amidst under a lot of speculation in regards to whether he'd stay on or not as his contract initially ran out this year. Regardless, Frank showed how much of true professional he is and rarely let the speculation affect his performances. Frank wasn't the Frank of old in the 2012/13, he had to slightly reinvent himself with the pivot being introduced and struggled somewhat, but the 35 year old was Chelsea's top scorer in the Premier League, grabbing 15 goals in 21 starts (29 overall) which is nothing less than what we're used to. He has single handily won a few games for us (Aston Villa and Everton spring to the mind) and Frank's performances secured him a new contract for another year where he will be reunited with the manager that brought the most out of him, Jose Mourinho. Another decent season from our Europa League lifting, Chelsea legend.<br

 

Rating: 7.5/10<br

 

12. John Obi Mikel

 

It's been a mixed season for the Nigerian midfielder, who failed to build upon the stellar end he had in the 2011/12 season. Whilst he started off quite strongly, often being paired up with Ramires in the midfield 2 which some have said was Chelsea's strongest pair in the 2 in the 2012/13 season, his season seemingly went downhill after the dismissal of RDM. Due to injuries, the ACoN and somewhat falling out of favour with Rafa Benitez, Mikel found game time towards the end of the season quite sparse and the Nigerian faces a fight for his first team spot next season under Jose Mourinho, the manager that initially brought him in. Mikel did manage a few good performances in the 2012/13 season, reminding those that he does have the ability, but failed to do so consistently. John had the opportunity to really exert his importance to the side this season but failed to do so but it'll be very interesting to see what happens to him if he does stay on next season.

 

Rating: 6.5/10

 

6. Oriol Romeu

 

The forgotten man. A very short season from the young Spanish holding player, which was unfortunately ended after a long term injury. 7 starts and 2 substitutions aren't enough to fully judge his season, but Oriol performed at an okay level in most games he featured in. It's unfair to judge his season, so we won't put a number on how well he's performed. It'll be interesting to see how he fits into the squad next season.

 

11. Oscar

 

The gifted Brazilian has truly lit up Stamford Bridge with his huge potential this season. While he hasn't been as consistent throughout the whole season, Oscar has shown his humungous potential various times this season which have justified the hefty 25m CFC paid for him. Technically and tactically astute, matched with an uncanny work rate and doggedness, Oscar has all the right attributes to become one of the best in the middle of the pitch. Often being shunned out wide, Oscar's abilities have been somewhat prohibited, and many think that in order to maximise his potential, he must play through the middle - either as a number 10 or a number 6 (regista). What ever happens, what we do know is that Chelsea have an excellent talent on their hands. The club must make sure that they maximise his talent, as once again, Oscar has clearly shown in the 2012/13 season that he has bags of ability that will more than likely leave people to remember him as a great player when his career ends. A season of promise for the young Brazilian

 

Rating: 8/10<br

 

Forwards:

 

10. Juan Mata

 

The diminutive Spaniard confirmed to everyone in the 2012/13 that he is an elite player with the ability to change games through a moment of brilliance. Mata ended the season with 20 goals and 29 assists, a remarkable feat. His nomination for player of the year doesn't do him enough justice - he truly was consistently great throughout most of the season, showing off his excellent first touch, eye for a pass and his lethal finishing on numerous occasions. His understanding with Eden Hazard has been a great thing to watch throughout the season, and it is clear that he has matured and shouldered some responsibility in the 2012/13 season, often coming through with important goals or assists when the team have been in need. Rightly voted as Chelsea's player of the season for the second year running, Chelsea have truly got a world class player on their hand here and Juan is clearly a Chelsea legend in the making. Stellar season from the little magician

 

Rating: 10/10

 

17. Eden Hazard

 

The £32m Belgian wizard arrived at Stamford Bridge with huge expectations on his shoulders. Storming the league in the first few games, Hazard looked worth every penny as Chelsea ascended to a 4 point lead at the top of the Premiership table. After a quiet few months, Eden ended the year fully reminding everyone of his world class ability, often finishing games as Chelsea's best player. The scariest thing is that Eden is still only 22 and still managed to be one of the best players in the Premiership - his inclusion in the team of the year attests to that. It's frightening to think that Eden achieved that in his first year in the Premiership and now he's settled in and under Jose Mourinho... Sky's the limit for the Belgian magician who finished with 13 goals and 19 assists this season - again, an outstanding achievement.

 

Rating: 9.5/10

 

13. Victor Moses

 

A £9m signing, Victor has more or less delivered what was expected from him at Chelsea. Bought as a squad player, Moses hasn't disappointed but overall in the end, failed to flatter at the same time. Before he left for the ACoN, Moses was in stellar form overall, providing direct play on the wings - something Chelsea was lacking at the time; sometimes even coming up with winning goals (e.g. his winning goal in the dying embers against Shakhtar in the Champions League). After returning from the ACoN, Moses' performances took a dip in general, but his Europa League form was one of the main reasons Chelsea got to finals. All in all, a pretty shrewd signing and a decent season from the young man, who will be looking to grow as a player in the upcoming season

 

Rating: 7/10

 

21. Marko Marin

 

Signed for £6.5m, Marko was a relatively low risk signing, especially given his previous hype, and impressed a lot during pre-season. The former German international unfortunately got injured which hampered his introduction into the Chelsea XI and after a few sub standard sub appearances, Marko's future at the club doesn't look promising. Marko failed to produce enough in the few minutes and appearances he was given and whether Chelsea keep Marko and give him another chance remains to be seen.

 

Rating: 5/10

 

30. Yossi Benayoun

 

Returning from his loan from West Ham, Benayoun only made a handful of appearances for Chelsea, usually off the bench. Out of contract at the end of the 2012/13 season, Benayoun's career at Chelsea will not be remembered fondly.

 

9. Fernando Torres

 

The £50m man was given reassurances at the start of the 2012/13 season that he'd be the main striker after Chelsea let Didier Drogba go without replacement. Fernando started off the season well, grabbing a good goal against Manchester City in Chelsea's Community Shield loss. Fernando also started well in the Premiership, scoring 5 goals in 11 appearances before massively disappointing - only scoring once in 12 games. Benitez was appointed and Torres' form hit a new lease of life, grabbing 7 in 9 before again hitting bad form, scoring only 3 goals in 19 appearances. Fernando ended the season in decent form, grabbing a few vital goals in the Europa League final and against Everton, but still left a lot to be desired considering he was meant to be Chelsea's number one striker. Fernando managed to score 22 goals but considering how many appearances he took to accomplish that (64) he has once again left Chelsea with the predicament that he isn't good enough to be the number striker at the club.

 

Rating: 7/10

 

29. Demba Ba

 

Arriving at £7.5m in the January transfer window, Demba Ba arrived at Chelsea when the club were in dire need of a goal scorer. On his debut, Ba managed to alleviate concerns, grabbing 2 goals in an impressive display against Southampton and fully looking the part. Ba was instantly liked by the Chelsea faithful because of his good link up play and finishing which was refreshing to see, but performances slightly dipped as the season progressed. Demba finished the season with 6 goals in 22 appearances, and albeit those included sublime goals against top opposition in Manchester City and Manchester United, ultimately, that isn't good enough for a striker of his quality. Demba will be looking to improve on those numbers next season, where hopefully with a full preseason under his belt he'll be able to perform more consistently.
