Sign good young talent at no money - most of those players cost less than 2 million. You only need to make 1 start in that group to make your money back. But we make our money by selling them for average fees, like £5m. Id rather have 20 young prospects out on loan, than other clubs who have players like Balotelli out on loan |

Everton v Chelsea
Sat' 12th Sept' 12.45
On current form, it's not looking good, and it has been a bizarre start to the season. When will it turn? There have been collapses in the past let's face facts, and I'll never forget the one when we looked good for the PL and Wilkins was sacked inexplicably as assistant. The form nosedived for over a month and the season was wrecked. There's no sign yet that things will turn around imo, and that's just honesty. I hope I'm wrong, but things behind the scenes look very bad. On current form, a draw would be a good result, and it could easily be another loss.

To be honest, I'm not looking foward to the Everton game at all. I know it's still early days, but it just seems vital that we get something out of the game. If the unthinkable happens and we lose to both Everton (a) and Arsenal (h), we will be looking at only 4 points from 6 games.
Let's hope tomorrow is the beginning of a turnaround. Something has not been quite right this season so far, and that goes beyond the loss of form. I have heard it suggested that it could be down to Jose's father suffering a stoke. |

I don't think it really makes much difference whether it's Courtois or Begovic between the sticks. The problem remains the form of those playing in front of whoever's in goal.

Begovic is a very good keeper. More then capable of doing the job.

First team
I'd go for:
Begovic (TB injured) Azpi (rb) Cahill / Terry Zouma Rahman Matic Ramires Fabregas Pedro Hazard Costa Subs: Willian, Djilobodgi, Loftus Cheek, Kennedy, Traore (if Oscar still injured) Falcao, Blackman. A blend of experience and new, fresh players. The opposition can't plan for a player they're not used to playing against, and that plus outweighs the relative lack of experience imo. For me a question mark over JT. Yes, he has been a fantastic servant of the club, but he needs to be 100%, and if he isn't, especially considering his lack of pace, he will be targeted like Ivanovic, and will become a weak link. It's not disrespect, it's reality. If Djilobodgi settles in, then I would possibly move Zouma into deep midfield, at the expense of an out of form Matic, or play the two together to shore up the midfield. |

Courtois injury confirmed. I like Begovic, but this is still very bad news.

Begovic is a top class keeper and is more then capable. Would be worried if it was a long term injury to other players |

Could have been worse, we have positions where our cover is less then ideal.

Indeed. I don't see Begovic as being that much of a step down from Courtois, if at all. It's the one position where we do have good cover.

Begovic is a great 'keeper, and I still can't really believe that he effectively agreed to be your number 2.
Courtois is excellent, but because of Begovic, I can't see it being a huge loss. It's only a few years since you guys were relying on Hilario, FFS! |

Even he did a decent job for the most part
Would you want to be seeing Hilario in the side every week, for months? With Begovic, you have no such worries. |

Yeah, but there's a big gap between 'decent' and 'excellent'.

Team:
Begovic Ivanovic !!! ??? Terry Zouma Azpi Matic Mikel !!! ??? Fabgregas /// Pedro /// Hazard Costa Willian rightly dropped, but no Rahman in at lb. Doesn't even make the bench, and Ivan is STILL playing. Why? And Mikel?! We are not the manager, and can only guess. |

Jose has always placed a great deal on training, Rahman would have done a very little amount of training with the whole squad.
