Yeh similar to what jukes said is what I heard..
I think he'd excel at west ham and maybe that's what he needs to get back to his Newcastle form

I dont blame Carroll for wanting to get away from Liverpool with the new kits they have got  ::)

[My Chumps]

Hey, what's wrong with our kit?  ???

[Tominator]

The home one is fine but your alternate one is filth.

Why did you switch from Adidas?

Okay need a hand here.
I can get the Chelsea 2011/12 third kit for $50 with a name and number.
I can get the Chelsea away kit for 2012/13 for $70.

My question is, is it worth paying $20 extra for the newer kit? In case you're unaware of what they look like, here...

Chelsea FC, 2011/12 third kit.



Chelsea FC, 2012/13 away kit.

Hahah holy shower that looks like a kit made in paint :P still I like Pools new home one.

elephants, I definitely like the Chelsea 2011-12 waaaayy more than the new one. Definitely not worth the extra $20 in my opinion, never know what that $20 could do for ya ahaha.

Because playing 3 defenders is stupid. Plus Evra can't play CB. Nani is far too inconsistent and isn't a team player, and Welbeck has got a better partnership with Rooney than Hernandez. Hernandez and Nani are much better as impact players from the bench.

Forgive me. I haven't looked too deeply into Man U or soccer tactics.

My thoughts were that if Evra can play LB, he can still play LCB seeing his is still on the left.
And i also thought that if you had a solid midfield and enough of them (which they do), then you could get away with 3 defenders?
I also think Nani is too good to use off the bench and that he should be shown for the whole match what he can do.
But yeah i will admit Hernandez is probably a better impact player off the bench; I also just don't rate Welbeck highly. good player, but if Rooney isn't in form or injured... ploop

But nevertheless, i trust you know better than me CF, especially when it comes to Old Trafford ;)

Playing LCB is much different from playing LB. As a LB Evra has plenty of permission to play a very aggressive and attacking game. Playing as a LCB as part of a 3 man defense he would not have this license and would have to defend the entire game. Also playing 3 at the back requires wingers that work extremely hard defensively and track back, Nani is certainly not one of those players, and I wouldn't classify Young as one either. Valencia is the exception, but you need 2 wingers that work as hard as him.

Oh dear lord!
I hadn't seen our alternate kit yet   :P

That's terrible!  :o

You're right. Totally and utterly right. Sorry for ever doubting you CF ;) I have learnt a lot from you :)
