Ruh Buh Juh

Excited if that is Germany's line up. Heard great things about Schurrle and Reus, interested to see them play. Will Gotze get a chance at some point?

He's a fantastic player, but where would he play? Mikel-Ramires Hulk (potentially)-Mata-Hazard or Mikel-Lampard Ramires-Mata-Hazard No player in either of those 5 should lose their place to Modric.

I personally would be even more excited by our signing of Hulk than Hazard, and I was seriously hyped about his signing. I don't know, something about signing Hulk is a huge statement of intent.

Yeah it's to stop match fixing, so like in some instances two teams playing each other only need a draw if the other result went there way so they could just have a stalemate at 0-0.

Disappointed. It was entertaining enough, but some call them unanswered questions, others call them plot holes. I'm going with the latter.

Muller was supremely average yesterday, can't cross, and you're right above, he doesn't have a position, he's average in multiple places and doesn't look like he'd be one to work all that hard.

Will wait for confirmation, but if Cundy said it....

Prometheus. A disappointment.

Chelsea TV always have interviews with legends of the club, under the program title "Legends", and as of a few days ago they started running a Legends program with an interview with...Joe Cole. Now, Joe was a good player for us, and he had one excellent season, he served us well for 7 years, but Robben had more of an impact in his 3 years than Joe did in his 7 if you ask me. Would you class Joe as a legend? Also, it got me thinking. Are there any players who have now left that you yourself would class as a Chelsea Legend, but not a widely regarded legend like Drogba, Zola, Dixon, Harris etc?

I can at last rest easy! GET IN!

Having a debate/argument with my English housemate, he's claiming England's win today was just as much a tactical win as our victories against Barcelona x2 and Bayern Munich. I can't see the connection.

In!

So many options if all the transfers go through! I got Mata (home) and Ramires (away) last year, I usually get two a season, I might go for a Cahill one and a Hazard/Hulk one. Both Hazard and Hulk would be such cracking names to have on the back, not even for the player, the actual names are so good!

WHY IS THE ORIGINAL POSTER SHOUTING I think Van Persie could be in with a shout.

We do have the added advantage of having the best left back in the world, probably the best collective set of centre backs in the Premiership, and with the addition of a right back to be back up to Ivan, who at one time was right back in the Premiership's team of the year, our defense is far superior to Arse's.

Agreed, he was put on the wing for lack of better players to play that position, as good as he was on the wing for us, he isn't a winger, and should hopefully play alongside Mikel next year and utilised as a proper box-to-box player because we're all aware of the legs that kid has.

Modric is probably my favourite player in the Premiership outside Chelsea but we don't need him now, season just gone we could've used him, but our transition to 4-2-3-1 means Modric wouldn't fit.

Now that my exams have finished, I'm going to give the vast majority of my time to watching The Wire, I've seen the first 10 or so episodes of Season 1 and it is superb.

We can't unveil him, he won't come here until July 1st, but we can do what we did with signing Marin with an article like this, http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~2752630,00.html, just to confirm it.

It's on my birthday. If we lose, I will accept responsibility, me and my family don't have much luck with games on our birthdays...

Nothing official yet.

Duff was our 11 before Drogba, he wasn't much of a goalscorer... I see it as a winger's number. 7 and 11 are meant to be winger numbers if you ask me.

Hazard will take Drogba's 11 surely? And 26 is JTs number!

Throwing caution to the wind is all!
