All Barco no bite

I think its harsh to say Courtois has been underwhelming, he had a fantastic first season up until his injury

I'm all for Christensen staying in Germany for another season but it has made me question the club. We only give players an opportunity if we've paid quite a bit of money for them. If Zouma had been at our academy since he was 8 do you think he would have been given a look in by now? The same with Miazga, if he was in our academy would he have warranted a place on our bench before now? We have Clarke-Salter who i believe is better than Miazga but won't be given a look in because the club hasn't paid 3.5mio for him. We had Lewis Baker, we then went out and bought Van Ginkel who was such a similar player and just walked onto our bench before the injury. Did he deserve it more than Baker or did his price tag get him there? I'm not saying he would have made it at Chelsea but i remember Kalas having a great game against Liverpool back in 2013/14? and then he's never been seen of since. We need to give these players a few chances in cup games before we ship them out to see if they can do a job for us before going and making headlines elsewhere. I think if a player as talented as Ola Aina leaves when we've had an abysmal Ivanovic at RB most season it really is troubling times for Chelsea.

By involved he means taking the kit home and washing it ready for next week.

Classic Chelsea

Hilarious. Isn't shisha just flavoured tobacco? Footballers can't seem to do anything these days without backlash.

More to do with his comment to Stim tbh slyly saying he always misses the point etc.. Also twisting every point made to fit his agenda

Is that because he was caught smoking shisha? What a joke for Villa

Right we were having a normal conversation about this and you're choosing to be a c*nt for some reason and trying to belittle everyone. No one has said it is a made up story or that the Conte story is true, people are merely stating that you can't take anything for truth if it has no substance to back it. The article about Christensen is pretty much based on opinion for all we know. As could be the one about Conte. To be perfectly honest i want Christensen to stay on loan because i don't think he's ready for Chelsea yet. Maybe in future try and speak to people with a bit of respect instead of belittling. This forum is meant to be fun, not somewhere that someone can't converse like a normal person in society without taking every counter argument to heart.

If Matic or Mikel starts over RLC this game i'll be fuming with Guus, might have to change my avatar to an anti-Guus picture if so.

Didn't we want to sign Okore a few years back but he went to Villa for first team action? Now that they're going down why don't we snap him up on the cheap. He's still young (23) and from Denmark so can be best mates with Christensen when he returns Not really seen much of him at Villa but can remember him being unreal at Nordsjaelland and for Denmark.

Well yes.. quite easily.. However there is actual evidence that would suspect Conte would be coming to Chelsea as Kev mentioned such as leaving the national team and speaking about the premier league. This Christensen article had no substance at all.

However, on a completely unrelated note FC United of Machester don't half take some support to their games. I can remember them coming to play at Ilkeston Town a few years ago. We went from having about 600 supporters at a game to a full 3 and a half thousand stadium. Crackin' support.

Makes no sense to me. You love a club so much and are against commercialisation etc. so you just leave the club, you supposedly love, behind and go support someone else? Not real Chelsea fans if you ask me.

Well quotes usually back up an argument so without them it could quite easily be bullsh*t and a journo could've just pulled it from a hat. I don't really see the issue and what people are failing to grasp here.

That Napoli centre back? Not really watched much of Napoli this year so can you offer any enlightenment on the player?

Courtois is the only one i've really heard about tbf

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2629088-chelsea-transfer-news-juventus-plan-oscar-bid-latest-paul-pogba-rumours Rumoured 24mil bid in summer for Oscar from Juventus. Would you accept or hold out for more money? It would be a 4 and a half million profit on him if sold for that. Also what player could replace him at Chelsea?

Pace whore and that's about it, lets be honest

Can we insert a haircut clause into his contract?

Zouma should just about make it back for the start of next season so i think its wise Christensen stays in Germany for another year, especially as it looks like Ivanovic is much more comfortable suited to CB.

If Remy starts up front i actually think i might cry

Not really. Its more like someone drives past your street and sees your house and says "i'll give you 200k for that house, i like it" and the owner turning around, releuctant to sell, and saying at the last minute "i don't wanna lose this house so gimme 500k and its yours". No matter how much you like the house you have to consider is it really worth paying 500k just for a 200k house? Especially when you have many more 200k houses elsewhere around Europe that you're leting other people borrow.. Hopefully this is the last time i'll ever have to use a scenario like this in a comment again.

He put a post on Instagram last night with the caption 'I can never be held down, take note' possibly a dig at club for not giving him opportunities?

They've stuck Vardy on 80k a week. A precedent has already been set.
