Where dya see that? TBH, if we could sell Willian, Schurrle or Salah and get him in, I'd be delighted.

We should really be keeping Schurrle for the left hand side anyway, I know thats Hazards role but theres no harm in Schurrle getting a run out there and he can show his strength cutting in off the wing.

BD president saying he's for sale but can't remember where

Couple of places running with the Turkish Airlines bid and how it might be off.

If its true that there is other backers invovled we should go with the highest bid simple really, football has so much revenue on it now the biggest companies will want to be sponsoring teams and if we can fleece a company of a few million then so be it.

Lukker-

Apparently Inter want Zouma on loan. Not going to happen.

Was a lot of noise a few weeks ago about Van Ginkel cancelling his loan but haven't heard much since.

No hope of Happy going out on loan, hes better off with us and learning from JT.

Unless hes going to start every game for Inter and even at that, we're probably to thin on numbers to leave him go.

According to Daily Express Reus off to Madrid, not sure how much game time he will get there.

As for Happy to Inter not a hope a) he is too good b) we have little enough defenders as it is c) Mancini manages them.

TimRiggins

No deal on Zouma Inter, would a certain Salah interest you though?

I couldnt see him getting into the Real Madrid team at all unless they throw CR7 upfront and drop Benzema.

I'd say since they got in Shaqiri theyre fine for wingers.

Jose the greatest ever Portuguese coach

Just looking at Citys business of buying attackers since the money rolled in :
Robinho : 32.5m
Jo : 18m
Roque Santa Cruz : 17.5m
Aguero : 38m
Dzeko : 27m
Jovetic : 25m
Bony : 28m
Negredo : 20m
Balotelli : 25m
Tevez : 25m
Adebayor : 25m

Thats a total of 281m of CFs alone :eek:

GavRedKing

Whats our worse piece of business under Roman?

Torres for 50m
SWP for 21m

GavRedKing

If Liverpool win all their remaining games they'll still finish on less points than what they managed last year. Some turn around.

Torres by a mile, People will say Sheva aswell but I quite like him still!

We've had a few, I had forgot about Sheva who wasnt wanted to begin with, pretty much like Torres I'd imagine.

Both had big roles to play in two great managers leaving through neither fault of their own

That's actually a misconception about Torres, he was a top target for Ancellotti for a couple of windows. Failure to integrate him is what cost him.

duploelabs

Selling then buying matic, torres, and then sheva

SureYWouldntYa

Van Ginkel really does need to be recalled and sent somewhere else or given a role with us. If he doesn't it'll be 2 years of his career wasted. Then again if he's not good enough to get into a Milan midfield consisting of has beens like De Jong, Muntari, Montolivo then maybe he's not good enough

I actually don't rate selling Matic as a massive mistake.

There's probably no way he would have developed like this at Chelsea. The money we made on Luiz paid for him. I think we actually underpaid considerably for Matic. I think if he was sold now he'd go for over £40m.

He's the best CM/DM in the league and could possibly be the best DM in the world right now.

Torres has scored twice against real

Not sure why there is 70's porn music over the firs goal

Excellent is going abit far now, Good finish for the first, sold a dummy in the second and it hit off Navas's leg and went in. Was poor from open play and still seems clumsy.

Still can't see him being a hit there tbh.

2 good finishes, first one was very tidy. Showed good feet for the second. I think he will. Happy for him, unless he does it against us.

He had a chance for the hattrick but he tried to cut inside, hit off his other foot and went astray. Griezzman put both on a plate for him.

Be happy to see torres get goals. He deserves it anyway.

I'm happy for him but i can't see him getting many more for Atleti unfortunately.

Don't think anyones expecting him to get back to his Liverpool days but he'll be good cover for Manduzkic. I could even see him forming a good partnership with him. At the end of the day I think the Athletico fans will back him to the hilt as long as he keeps putting in the work.

I like seeing Real Madrid fail. Even though i prefer them than that other spanish club.

Yeah. Diego Simeone is some manager, would love to see him at Chelsea at some point. Seems like the natural successor to Mourinho, very similar philosophies.

GavRedKing

Chelsea youngster Pasalic is playing against Barca now

GavRedKing

Fun fact, if Drogba scores for Chelsea in the league between now and the end of the Season he'll become our oldest goal scorer of the premier league era.

GavRedKing

fun fact number 2

JT has 17 home goals for chelsea
he has 20 away goals :pac:

I'd prefer the hands on approach, flip a table, throw your water and threaten to eat his children would be comedy gold.

Might get him committed though.

Our away fans are very good, its the home fans in both main stands that leave us down some what.

Also I bet a lot of people have bought tickets hoping to have enough points to get to Wembley.

GavRedKing

Garry Monk rates us anyway

http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/30841545

"It's probably the strongest squad I have ever seen at Chelsea," said Monk.

"They're a fantastic team - exceptional, world class players all over the pitch. They have got an exceptional manager as well

GavRedKing

Good point

More teams have had conceded more red cards against Chelsea than against any other team...

Mourinho responds: "You can say Chelsea is the team with more attacks and more dominance.

"You can also say Chelsea is the team with less penalties.

"For Eden Hazard to go on the floor there needs to be something really nasty.

"He has no protection. We have examples of that.

GavRedKing

Another good point

Jose Mourinho starts by explaining his recent media blackout...

He said: "Now I can have a smile and can control my words.

"I do my work and forget about it [the FA charge]."

He then says he thinks he has "no chance" of winning his appeal or manager of the month.

Its a travesty hes only won that award 2 times, 2 f**king times. :rolleyes:

Cesc posted online that hes having another baby with the missus.
