I dont doubt the link, just the story.

Luis might go, in fact I think he will if a deal can be done for him with a club in Spain.

The rest is tripe IMO.

I thought so, her names Caroline Lijnen, no Spanish link that I can find.

She done the dirt on De Bruyne to be with Courtois, its the Chelsea way im telling ya.

TBF, shes not even a looker either but it would have been interesting to have both in the squad at the same time after such an incident. I wonder what theyre like on international duty together?

apparently she first hooked up with Courtois when he was playing for Athletico, so maybe that's where they got mixed up, dreadful journalism though

Ya I seen articles or stories from her saying as such but if AS is going to publish a story like that, at least get the basics right.

Even if they said she preferred Spain that would have been enough and carried more substance.

Duck Soup

Costa crocked in training. By Mikel. Hopefully it's just a bruised foot or summat like that.

Best thing about that article is Azp playing on goal.

Is there no end to his ability :pac:

hullaballoo

He's a legend in the making!

Courtois' dad has an active twitter account and seems to have big love for Chelsea anyway! Not an indicator of anything but if the old man's happy... https://twitter.com/tchet08

2 years in a row as fantasy champion here, I think we agreed we'd all throw in 50 each for the winner right?

GavRedKing

Chelseas friendly is on in 1 hour at 12pm our time.

No idea if youll get a stream but it seems like the only way.

P.s. dont post streams :P

I was thinking of flying to a different country to watch this match. Does anyone know what channel it would be on if I were to do so?

phobia2011

Is it on chelsea tv?

Are we wearing our New Jersey ?

Thanks

phobia2011

No it's not on chelsea tv,

No we are not wearing our New Jersey,

It's on sport tv 1 (Portugal) or tring

We're one nil up,

GavRedKing

Solanke with the goal after about 14mins. 30mins gone now

kev1.3s

Any update?

hullaballoo

I have it on Chelsea TV. Don't know why others don't because I just have ordinary membership?

Nothing to talk about really. Should be about 20-0 up but they're trying to walk the ball into the goal.

EDIT: 20-1 up but for a great clearance from Christensen.

hullaballoo

All over at 1-0 Chelsea. Nice to see the young lads get a run about but Thailand were never going to pose a threat. Think they had one chance and it resulted in a shot on goal.

Musonda had 3 or 4 chances he should have buried but his shooting let him down. Azpilicueta had a good game, looked like he wants to play up front next season! :pac:

Job done, no injuries, grand day out all around.

They can have him back for £50m if they want him.

Theyll probably go for falcao anyway.

That nice Mr Power agrees with you;

GavRedKing

An attacking line up with

Matic Cesc
Griezmann Willian Hazard
Costa

Would be devasting IMO.

Oscar, Cuadrado, Loftus cheek as options from the bench too.

Lukker-

Supposedly Juve had an opening bud of 9m rejected for Oscar. Lol. We paid 19m for him and id expect considerably more then that in return. Juve are notorious cheap skates so I don't think he's going anywhere unless Pogba I'd involved.

GavRedKing

Id take 30m for him.

I'd keep him for 30m, especially in todays market. If he is going to go we shoul get 40-45m imo.

kev1.3s

I'd swap Oscar for Pogba. Sorry if it sets Gav off again.

Id swap him too but Juventus would want about 30m including Oscar for Pogba :P

kev1.3s

done!
It's about time we drew a line under this.

GavRedKing

Wheres Pogba watch 2015?

:pac:

rottie 11

Oscar is going no where. Jesus 9m?? That's an awful insult to him

Lukker-

Juve are cheap skates and they'll try and low ball us. Wouldn't accept anything under £33+, even if he was only a squad player.

GavRedKing

Chelsea playing at 11 am tomorrow our time.

I did earlier and asked myself the question, where's Pogba?

Got no answer.

GavRedKing

Probably be a similar setup today for the friendly, mix of youth and experience both getting 45mins then the lads are off on international duty or holidays.

GavRedKing

11 years ago today, Jose had his first Chelsea press conference and declared himself the Special One.

3 EPL titles, 1 FA cup & 3 league cups later for Chelsea, hes probably right. :P

Caveman1

Can anyone PM a link to the game

GavRedKing

In work so missing it myself.

GavRedKing

The Thai game was live on Youtube in HD, the commentary was local though so I had it on mute.

Got a link via Twitter but havent checked for the Sydney game, I'm assuming they're available as this game is bigger and a big audience will be interested.
