Chelsea Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2013/14

I thought Moses did really well for us last season, good luck to him at Liverpool but I don't think he will be returning to us after.

Reports yesterday said that there wouldn't be an option to buy in the deal.

If he does well I'd expect him to stay anyway, so heres hoping.

Some save this from Thibaut, I wonder if we will ever get to see him playing for us (lots of talk RM after him)

Courtois is an amazing talent and one weshould never get rid of.

I dont think he'd play for Real giving his Atletico ties.

Apparently he has refused to sign a contract extension (2 years left after this season) as he feels he will not get first team football at the Bridge anytime soon. And of course AM will have no say in the transfer as he does not belong to them so would not surprise me, would certainly disappoint me but not surprise.

I cant see Jose selling Real anything in the near future TBH.

Our mistake in loaning him out again for a 3rd season was not getting him to sign an extension if thats the case.

grumpymunster

So Liverpool have Moses, Arsenal looking for Ba, Palace after Chalobah on loan, will be able to get 6 Chelsea players into my fantasy team

There was strong talk that he would only be allowed out on loan again if he did sign an extension, no idea why that did not happen.

Again it comes down to choice if he will not sign an extension then I would assume he will be sold next summer and from a business point of view highest bidder wins I would assume. Cant see TSHO having any real input into that.

GavRedKing

I reckon what will happen is Cech will become a player/coach in the future but will he want to sit on the bench at just 32, relatively young for a G.K.

Leaves us up s**t creek though with his contract running down, although you could argue we've done nothing to nurture his talent what so ever.

Legion.

Glad Moses will be getting game time but it kinda grates on me that he'll be getting it at Liverpool. Don't think we'll bring anyone in today although I'm dying for either a new CB or a new enforcer in midfield as I don't buy the Ramires-Lamps partnership.

Arsenal have enquired about Demba Ba.

Saadyst

That's about right, I'd say he'd be at the bottom of the pecking order at this point in time... hopefully there's a clause in there where he can't be played against us :pac:

They can f**king have him for nothing if they want, useless beyond belief.

Those kind of clauses are standard now a days, cant play agaisnt parent clubs with the parent club permission.

e.g. Courtois against us in the Super Cup last year.

Only in premier league do loanees not appear against their parent club, in European competition players are registered to a club for the length of the loan period and can play against whom ever when chosen. So in theory if Ba leaves to go to Arsenal and we meet them in the Champions or Europa league then he can play against us.

I did not know that, although with all the variables to factor in, it looks unlikely we'd play Arsenal in Europe this season IMO.

It is amazing how much useless information you pick up as you go along, useful stuff now that gets forgotten almost instantly ha ah.

Only seen him play a couple of times for you guys, he does look very poor, really slow on the ball. Even Torres looks better than him

GavRedKing

Mail reporting Khedira interest with no quotes, fees or anything of note, must have taken it from Twitter and one I'd put in the realms of fantasy football until something concrete is reported.

I'd take Torres everyday instead of Ba anyway, at least Torres has being invovled with some of our better football.

This also means Lukaku get smore game time so that alone is worth him going out of Stamford Bridge.

GavRedKing

Another twist, well of the fake type, Liverpool ahve bid 25 million for Mata according to some Twitter account.

LOL at the figure 1st off.

If they did, I'd love for RA to come out on twitter and say "What are they smoking over there at Anfield?"

Johner

Sam Hutchinson joins Vitesse Arnhem on loan for the season. Another one to Vitesse!

GavRedKing

Mata to PSG doing the rounds.

Perfect, 90 million please.

Not unreasonable if Bale is worth 100

So is Ozil to PSG trying to scupper the Arsenal bid

BBC have dismissed the Liverpool rumours anyway.

Its probably a load of hogwash at this late stage but you never know since they signed that Illaramendi lad.. would love Khedira at the bridge. That said, if Chalobah can't get a loan move idk if we really need anyone. Forgot that he and Kalas were still in the squad.

GavRedKing

Sam Rhodes on Twitter has said Chalobah has gone to QPR on loan.

Sam Rhodes is a fake account. Hope he goes to Palace.

Hes done well to get 17k followers if hes a fake a/c :pac:

Either which way, a loan to a very good championship side or EPL side would be the desire for Chalobah.

If Chal was going back to the Championship surely Watford and Franco would be favourites, personally think he is good enough for premiership so Palace or Fulham for me.

I really hope this report is hogwash

That sportsdirect website has being churning stories like that out all day.

Nothing to see in that.

Willian was our last supporting player we're going to buy for about 2 windows I reckon, next priority is a CB, CM and CF.

His Atletico ties are merely as a player. I'd say he doesn't give a toss about the divide like local players might.

abelard

Surely Mata won't be sold.

.......surely?

Sky Italy are notorious BS merchants but I couldn't resist posting this.

Haha also they're reporting that Kaka is goin to AC Milan for nothing having left 4 years ago for 60m......oh wait

ahnowbrowncow

I won't be happy if Lukaku is sent out on loan again, surely he deserves a chance after 17 league goals for an average West Brom side.

Johner

Won't be happy with Eto'o, Torres and Ba as our strikers, really don't think thats good enough if we want to win the league.

Andersonisgod

Is there any way of shutting this window before the club commits such insanity?

GavRedKing

Has Ba gone yet?? Anyone but bloody Lukaku

GavRedKing

Chelsea dont wanna sell Ba to Arsenal as theyre a rival......jesus christ. Thats lukaku on loan again anyway. ffs

RichT

Oddschecker showing Lukaku @ 1/2 to leave (loan) during the summer transfer window :mad::(:mad:

GavRedKing

Im really hoping we dont leave Lukaku go. His last act to miss a peno in the super cup would be a pain for the lad. hope he stays.

GavRedKing

Ba to spurs maybe......according to a reporter at the ground.

GavRedKing

Lukaku to west brom on loan again apparently....ffs. :rolleyes:
