Already love Costa.

Haven't seen enough pre season to make a decision on it but it does seem we have a striker who actually scores goals.

Nice finish from Fabregas.

Johner

Still hard to believe Fabregas plays for us.

Ohhhhhh it's quite unbelievable! He's the Chelsea player I think many of us have long wanted. He's a class act all the way. Fabregas!

Sure once you miss one she who must be obeyed will expect you to forget the rest so just bite the bullet and you are sorted

Only 3 weeks until the window closes, leaving it until the end to sign Pogba I see. :pac:

GavRedKing

Marin looks to be off by all accounts.

Seems to be to Fiorentina for a loan but I can imagine he'll be sold if he does ok their.

We dont need him.

GavRedKing

Torres could be gone by the end of the window if reports online are to be believed. Pinch of salt largely but if it does happen we'll probably have to spend large to get in a good back up.

GavRedKing

Mangala joins City, thankfully the rumours we were in for him were untrue, mainly for his price and that we've, IMO, bought wiser in Zouma.

Zouma is very raw but looks to be a really top quality prospect.

Jose on fabregas from twitter (bbc)
"Frank Lampard is the history of the club, history nobody can forget"

"Fabregas is the future; history is history but the future is more important at the moment"

"Frank Lampard is the history of the club, history nobody can forget"

"My opinion, and the opinion of my players, is that Fabregas is the right player to occupy that central position in midfield"

Fabregas is this kind of player which I like to call 'the seven', because he's not the six and he's not the eight."

"Normally the 7 is the winger, I also call the 7 the guy in midfield who's not the 6, he's not the 8..

Or he's a 6 and 8 at the same time. So he's a seven and we need him a lot."

GavRedKing

All things considered our support 5 for Burnley should be

Matic Cesc
Schurrle Oscar Hazard

Salah or Willian could slot in, Hazard might play in the number 10 role too.

We've plenty of options in that support 5, only Arsenal can rival us in that department, City usually only play 4 which is why I wouldnt count them but if they lined out with 5 in support theyed have a hell of a lot of excellent options too.

Cesc isnt a 6 or an 8 or even a 10......so its likely we'll sign Pogba to play 6 AND 8 :pac:

Rumours are Drogba might be out for up to 6 months. Was just something that popped up on Twitter though so would take it with a pinch of salt.

Think that rumour was started by a fake Daily Mail account on Twiter, havent seen anything remotely official since.

Unless ya have a link.

Harry Palmr

Marca say 4-6 months, which is a bummer for you.

Considering Bruno Alves tried his best to take Costa out for the year we're doing well if its only Drogba thats injured for a bit.

Sign Cavani, job done.

I think Arsene could have contrived something equally daft.

Courtois fully trained today , decisions decisions

1 week to go

Id expect Cech to start to be honest

hots

Without Drogba does that mean we need to bring someone new in or call someone back from loan? Just Costa and Torres isn't enough and I was looking forward to having a bit of physicality off the bench...

Too late for any sort of big signing now I think

Is Drogba registered for the upcoming season? If not, and he's actually going to be out until as late as January, he could be left out of the squad and we're down a foreign player. Just a thought.

We almost certainly need another striker now.

Tubbs4

Bring back another legend Kaluo at least he could score unlike Torres

GavRedKing

League registration is done before the league starts and after the end of the window.

Although is it confirmed how bad Drogbas injury is?

No its not, all thats been said is that he'l be out for 4-6 months, and that was said by a fake Twitter account.

Drogba himself said: "I twisted my ankle and I couldn't continue. In the next few days we are going to do some treatment and I hope everything will be better."

Are ye in the running for Benatia lads or is it just typical rumours? He'd be a cracking signing for ye and I'd be disgusted if we settled for Mangala if if was actually available. Don't get me wrong Mangala is a great talent and will be up there with the best in the world in a few years but Benatia is arguably in the top 3 atm.

Dont think Chelsea will be looking to strengthen in defence, already have Cahill, JT, Ivanovic, Zouma that can play centre half
