5 Strikers Too Many

Reports have come in, that Samuel Eto is going to Stamford Bridge. But why are Chelsea signing a player that in the twilight of his career with 4 Strikers already!!!!!!!!!! Like I've said before can't remember when or where,  I said that Lukaku should be getting his chance as he was on fire for West Brom last season but with 40 minutes of football under his belt this season minus the great per-season he's had he will be licking his wounds on the bench. Schurrle whose an established German international must be thinking if coming to play for the blue's was a good idea? To be honest I don't see Torres coming back to the form that he had in his Liverpool days so why Chelsea have brought a 5th striker to their squad I will never know, which is confusing for a team that will be likely playing a 4-5-1 formation this campaign. They should have sold Torres but I wont be surprised if I see him go before the transfer window closes and there has been reports Demba Ba is going on loan back to Newcastle. But who am I to question Mourinho's motives as he's probably the best manager in world football now that Fergie has retired. All I know is someone will be offloaded before the window closes. I just don't see the use of 5 strikers unless the Special One is going to be playing a 4-4-2 or an attacking 4-3-3 formation but let's see how the last few days pan before the window ends and how he rotates his forwards this season.

Lamber The Hero

When you think of modern day footballing heroes of this century or this era, who can you name? Of course many will say so and so, this player and that player but to me there's not that many. Too many players are too cocky, too outspoken and too flashy some are not even worth their weekly wage and yet they cant put their money where their mouth is come Saturday 3pm or on the International stage. But Rickie Lambert is different from these modern day pre-Madonna's the guy has played in every tier in the of English Football He even managed to score for England with his first touch !!!! To me this is how every aspairing footballer should aim to be like. He's put his head down and gives a 100% for Southampton even though he's not blessed with the ability of RVP or Suraez but this guy uses what he's got and that's why he's soared. You young boys that want to be playing in Premier League this is who you should be looking up to like I've been saying in this post and not going after players who have ego's because of their name and their salary.

Gareth Bale is Not Worth 200 Mil

Real Madrid are reportedly ready to offer 200 million for Welsh wizard Gareth Bale, to me I think this is ludicrous as no player in my opinion is worth over 30 million. Ronaldo was not worth 80 million, neither was Torres who was 50 million, and we all know the story with him since he's been at Chelsea. Bale in his career up to now has only had 2 good seasons one which was last season, and the 2010-2011 season where he came to promise. You cannot offer a player who has had two good season!!!!!!!!!! You cannot that kind of transfer fee, hence why he's not even worth 200 million let alone the 86 million which was the first offer Madrid made. To me all these transfer spending spree's are out of hand, Sir Blatter needs to do something about the over spending that goes on in football, during transfer season. Clubs like Leeds and Pourtsmouth have been ruined because of things like this in football. If anything is not done then we'll carry on seeing over spending on one player and clubs not getting their worth when acquiring players, like I've said and I will keep on saying players should not be over priced just because they've had one amazing season in their short careers. Darren Bent, Veron and Glen Johnson are prime examples. And I honestly believe that if Bale went for that price that Madrid are willing to pay he would not produce the same performance he has for Tottenham, if he was to move to Spain.
