agree wholehearted with squillaci but disagree with kos. thought he had a great first season.
Fair enough, I thought he was rubbish and wish we'd never signed him.
We might actually have won the CC if we hadn't who knows. He made a number of high profile errors throughout the season, the odd good game doesn't make up for that. Not up to scratch for me.

we could have won the cc if players could have been bothered tbh. their first goal was laughable too. thought he did well esp in jan/feb when we were really storming up the league and that barca game, he was a rock. just look at united, they were diabloical in defence. he made mistakes but he is a good player
One game against Barca that's all people can point to, one game...he gave away a penalty in the 2nd leg which pretty much ended any hope we had incidentally.
United may not have been that good but they won the title and got to the CL final at the end of the day, with a team that weren't that great...just shows what a good manager can do.
Koscielny cost us that final, his stupidity and lack of concentration gave away a goal and gave us no chance to get back into it. The team may not have performed well but it's was 1-1, had he done his job as any 25 year old player would we'd have got to extra time.
if you gonna blame kos for the goal in cc, you need to blame ches too. both made the mistake not one or other. and i didnt just point to the barca game, i said in jan and feb he was a rock. and its true, look at the chavs game in december, he was a beast then. drogba couldnt do anything that game.
and yes he gave away a penalty in the second leg but that didnt cost us, a diabolically corrupt decision cost us and so did dennis bentner fucking up. until rvp sent off, we were 30 mins from going through
Ches is a kid, at the end of the day though a good defender would have cleared it thus rendering the keeper irrelevant in this.
At no stage was he a rock, he made a lot of errors, whether it be getting beaten to headers, positional errors or just making stupid tackles. An error is an error at the end of the day, regardless of anything else he let us down again in a big game.
Chelsea were on their worst run in years in December they couldn't get a win for toffee and all and sundry were beating them, it's not hard to see why they didn't perform against us and why we kept some of their out of form players quiet. Somehow we let them get above us though, still shocked at that after the run they had.
getting rather annoyed.
everyone else bar chelsea seem to be signing players and showing their intent, whilst we as usual are sitting back and losing out deals to rivals.
pretty sure chelsea will sign players now they have appointed a manager so depression gets worse.
Who were we after and failed to get?
Ronaldinho, Cech, Ibrahimovic, Ronaldo etc etc if you believe the BS merchant at the helm
