Name three then.

I'd have Shawcross rather than Stones. The lad can defend.

Oh come on...

 

[davek]

So be it. At least we wouldn't be labelled a selling club with zero ambition.

Great. A big pat on the head and a terrible season.

No thanks.

cant blame the club for taking £40m.... Can blame them for not having the forsight to do this earlier though.

It isn't £40m though is it. Even if they bid £40m, it's actually £34m.

you're either full of horse manure, crazy.. or downright in denial.

 

[davek]

I'm serious.

Defenders first and foremost defend. Of course, there';s better examples than Shawcross who can also play a bit.

No mate - we don't demorailise our young players and point the way to the exit door, and we compel this crap board to actually spend money rather than 'net spend' our way to oblivion.

I know which route I prefer.

Any of them so long as its to us, what the hell is begovic thing going there good keeper should be playing not sitting on the bench behind one of the best at the moment in the country.

i don't bother saying this line anymore. players seem to be happy picking up a wage by sitting on their arse. let's be honest, most of us on here would happily be paid a lot of money to sit on our arse and do nothing.

I can already tell you're going to "Martinez" this script of "Stones can't defend", so I'll bow out now and leave you to it.

LOL though.

Tell me you dont have your head in your hands watching us defending with Stones and Jagielka?

Two more then.?

I think you're just chatting wham mate.

Not many better center halves in the league than stones, full stop.

And even then in a few years he'll be the best in the league.

We have been a selling club with no ambition for over 20 years now.

Lot of truth in that Davek , said it weeks ago prior to tonights goings on that we are to easy at the back with those two in tandem , both good but not as a unit.
Do chelsea need a keeper as well . Might soften the blow a bit if he went as well

Carragher spotted that in MNF yesterday. Comparison to Kompany - Mangala was devastating.

 

[ToffeeDoug]

Shawcross can defend for sure, not a bad player at all, but he won't improve much more on what he is now. Stones is nothing like the finished article and will continue to improve and in years to come should whizz past the likes of Shawcross.
