I agree with you completely FC. I didn't post the source because on mobile and it's 3:30 am here so I'm lazy and I can't sleep, frankly. http://www.espnfc.com/blog/transfer-talk/79/post/2573400/chelsea-ready-john-stones-paul-pogba-100m-pound-double-move Cheers

Looked that up on twitter and that tweet has no retweets or no favorites - it's some chelsea supporter. https://twitter.com/SuzanEdenLuiz/status/634660642117390336 But there's more reliable sources saying that Chelsea has upped their bid to 60 million pounds, and that Abramovich has given Mourinho 100m to get Stones and him.

Muller won't go. Bayern need their true Germans, and Muller is one of the world's best attacking players. Absolutely phenomenal. They'd have an extremely upset fanbase if they did.

Get f**king cockblocked manchester scum Pedro allows so many options in terms of a tactical approach - He can play left or right and holy f**k in.

I'm dead set on buying the Chelsea away shirt, and I'd like to put a name on the back. I'm not sure who I should put though. I fear Hazard could leave, and I question Diego Costa's longevity at the club based purely off of his hamstrings being of a 45 year old's body. I was thinking of getting Terry or Matic on the back as Terry is a club legend and Matic seems like he'll be a mainstay. Maybe Azpilicueta. Although, if Zouma breaks into our starting lineup within the next season, I'll get one of his no matter what :P Any thoughts/suggestions?

I hope we just flip a switch and start an Aymeric Laporte train. Awesome player, top three young FRENCH centerback along with Varane and Zouma. 35m release clause, 5m lower than Everton's asking price on Stones.

I'm still not opposed to playing Oscar on the right side. He's played there for Brazil, he can have good delivery from out wide, he's comfortable shooting from that side of the field. I've been hoping for us to try it for a while, but we haven't had a backup CAM since De Bruyne and Mata.. I've also always thought Hazard is best suited in the middle. We literally need any AM available so Willian doesn't play. I really hope we high-jack the Pedro deal. Pedro - Hazard - Oscar.

He's pretty much as reliable as the club saying it directly - ESPECIALLY with italian related rumors. So uh, which winger is coming in?

As much as I love to hate Ivanovic playing right back, there is literally nothing to that.

I don't see the hulk in him other than the strength and nationality anyways.

The perfect signing for us would be Gotze. Bild reporting he's available for just under 28 million pounds. German media has turned him into the problem child, even though he clearly isn't. He'd help Chelsea so much in the final third. He can play any of the attacking midfield positions.

Remy's looked bad all preseason Not the Remy we all begged to be playing more

Yes, but Real and Barcelona can both take one of the top two best goal scorers of all time and sit them at striker and be perfectly comfortable with it. Bayern have Lew and Muller. PSG have Ibra and Cavani. All the other PL clubs are equal (city) or below up front. On paper Costa and Falcao two years ago is just the scariest sh*t of all time. Now one's hamstrings are clearly going to be bothersome all season. And if they are, I wouldn't be shocked if we bought another top notch striker next season. Falcao is not even a quarter of the player he used to be. Remy scores goals, but he does stupid things.

Boo the flounders. < Morales.

So f**king stoked right now for this. Beginning of the season for us, first chance at silverware. Local MLS team winning a derby on road in front of 55k 3-0. Now to be up in seven hours for another Mourinho win vs Wenger.

why would you criticize him for telling you to get out, and then you tell him to get out? like please

the only thing we could judge in the first friendly was effort level and focus - and that was non existent bar a few players. this is a proper match with two of the top seven or so clubs in the world. I guess moses gives us that direct "I'm going to go at you with force" mentality that we haven't had since Schurrle left.

We're still the strongest team in the PL, barring City get younger in the back and in defensive midfield. There is no question about that. But the problem is that we had no heart in our performance in the second half - outside of Diego Costa. We're playing Arsenal for the shield in a week, and our upcoming matches are extremely difficult. We need to be on point here.

You're overly sour for something you really shouldn't be sour about. Zouma and Terry were still thinking about the NY skyline in the second half. Pitiful. Of the players who played in the second half, only Costa seemed to give a sh*t - and he missed 3 golden chances.

Oh please. They played their U21's and second team. It's a big game for those guys. f**k out with that elitist sh*t lol

zouma and terry with shocking mistakes this half zouma fell asleep and left aina to cover two players.

lmao that was a torres esque finish by remy

Remy is staying, jose said this a couple days ago

fwiw, Van Persie is not what he was three four years ago. for me, Falcao at this point is just the same level of Drogba. I'm just not a fan when we consider that he's literally the only squad change we've made outside of the probable mikel leaving and cech already leaving.
