Hazard has talked about winning as many cups as possible to his name and for Chelsea so you have to figure this one of all would boost his European ambitions to win.

Sounds good to me but would he really risk coming into the queue of midfielders here at Stamford Bridge. Whatever rid of Malouda would be great, he served his purpose here, his time is long up

To me the question with Lukaku is, can he even begin to fill his heroes shoes as a new Drogba-esque player. Or will he be more of an Adebayor style of physical forward, less threatening and more of a journeyman.

Everton, yes they will be tough on us as well though, especially in December. Swansea, no. They have not had their mettle tested just yet. And I could really care less about Villa, let em go down

I've always been a big Forest fan myself, glad to see him go to a team I can like in the Championship

They've been remarkable together already and it is only three games in, I cannot wait to see the attacking duo of these two as well as Oscar develop together. Throw in Marin and Moses as a couple wildcards and things look pretty interesting for The Chels right now. All excellent young players, its almost like 03-04 all over again, but better!

Can you believe this guy is only 21 going on 22. And speaking of Messi I can't believe this guy has 250 goals with Barca, and he's what, 26? Thats nutters

I dated a Scottish girl who was a Rangers fan, started following then and one thing led to another and I was a Chelsea fan. That was all about 10-15 years ago

To me that would make more sense if we played soft teams in the league and fa cups. I think we've won the FA enough lately and the league well need we talk about the Capital One cup anymore? Considering this is a one-off in one of the most epic kingdoms in the world, I don't see why we should field a decent team. Your right, we need to concentrate on the Prem and the CL but is the cost of one game really that important?

Well it will be alternating, at the Cardiff City Stadium the next year and in Tbilsi, Georgia (god knows why) in 2015

couple of lovely draws for us today

I'd love to go but the trip from Canada is a bit more expensive

Ya I was definitely happy with Bertrand as well, he keeps looking more and more like a keeper.

I went with Torres, even though he flopped about a little bit, he worked well with Mata and Hazard this game.

What a stunner!

They don't scare me much, but as the game as progressed here, I wouldn't mind another goal as a buffer since they have the ability to score that freak goal

Ya but he deserves a chance at consistent first team minutes and a way to make him unplayable when he returns here next season.

don't know where ya heard that, its in january/feb this year, 2013.

With the way Hazard is winning penalties, Lampard's drive to 203 might happen sooner than we think

What about the whole Chelsea and Porto representatives to meet when the club is in Monaco

I guess we can lock it or merge with the general thread?

yup, he is still a home grown player

I really like him as a rotational and cup player, who knows he might even find himself as a first-team regular, even with this stellar team at this point. He's only 21 for christ sake. The only thing we are really lacking at this point I would say is a CF with confidence and who can create something out of nothing and two me our centre backs aren't as imposing as the Carvalho and Terry pairing that was so successful here for so long.

I would still prefer Azpilicueta as someone who has played the position steadily
