It was on Chelsea TV. Petr Jose Ivan Terry Cole Mikel Ramires Meireles Studge Mata Drogba

They said on Chelsea TV that starting Mikel instead of Romeu must because that he has had a knock or something.

Well, Owen Coyle has shown his faith in younger players since he took control over Bolton. If Josh is as good as we all believe, he will get time there!

Sturridge for me. He created both the goals with his trickery and speed and also gave Clichy a bad day ending up in a red card which made things a lot easier. Not sure we would've scored 11 against 11.

I'm not too confident.. I think we'll concede, 1-2 final score. Lamps and Studge

Today I read about that we are looking to bring this Italian fella in, Sebastian Giovinco. He has had a really impressive start in the "non-scoring" Serie A, 6 games 5 goals and he's a midfielder. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/player/_/id/104336/sebastian-giovinco?cc=5739

Like always, so selfish! He had so many opportunities to give the ball to Anelka.

I was in the stadium against Iceland (I'm Icelandic..) and I was really looking forward to see Josh playing. I was a bit disappointed with his performance, I love his passing ability but he was clearly not showing that in these minutes. But I have to say that when I look back, England was playing sloppy and just waiting until the game finished. They had it all under control.

Impressive scoring record, especially this season: 4 games 6 goals in the Eredevise but no assist. Last season: 30 games 10 goals (Erediv) and also no assist. Are we looking for a wide player with scoring ability or passing?

On Chelsea TV they believed it to be about 11 million.

Could we be one of those teams? http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12876_7136668,00.html I really hope so, would really love getting Johnson and Kalou out, maybe even Malouda. Prefer him to Pereira as well, by far!

He's already said his goodbye. Hopefully he'll be a part of the team next weekend, coming on as a sub around 60th. http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fjuanmata10.com%2Findex.php%3Fseccion%3Dnoticias%26id%3D674

Interesting. His shirt at Valencia #10, Twitter account "juanmata10" and homepage "www.juanmata10.com"... Is he getting Yossi's No. 10 when / if Yossi goes to Tottenham in an exchange deal?

I think the reason is that is is not good enough right now. From the reports it seems like he needs more experience, but certainly looks like a really hot prospect and ideal for the future.

AVB talked about in his press conference that Torres is in but Luiz is out. Didn't notice about Ivanovic...

I really enjoy how his responses to the questions are. Hopefully he will success and start an new era and stay for many years!

Didn't know where to post this topic. England U17 are playing in a tournament in Iceland and yesterday they played in my hometown, Sauðárkrókur, and TindastóllTV got it on tape: As far as I know there are two Chelsea players playing in that team, can you guys confirm that and their names?

Source?

So ridiculously talented!

Fergie chasing him, from Caughtoffside though: Man United Prepared to Fork Out £17.5m for Italian International: Ferguson Keen On Fiorentina Captain Ricarrdo Montolivo

Soccernews.com (this is all around) For €6 million I think every top team in Europe should try to get him. I can't paste a link but I recommend that you read this article from soccernews. His coach has even said that they can't do anything about it if a top European team will try to get him.

He has been one of the best midfielder in the Bundesliga this year. Only 22 and has been playing in the Bundesliga since 2005. People in Germany say he would be a starter for the German national team if he wouldn't have played with Turkey. I say go and get him Roman! (especially if his clause is true) And yeah, a friend of mine from Germany told me that Real Madrid were chasing him as well.

From CaughtOffside In my opinion Pirlo would be a great addition to the squad. Getting a player with his quality and creativity on free transfer would be great. I don't care if he is 31, he has at least two good seasons left I would think.

And again we are linked with Alexis Sanchez... In my opinion that is the player I would like to get the most of everyone that we are being linked with. We have Anelka, Torres, Sturridge and maybe even Drogba up front. Sanchez would be a great addition both to feed the others and create and score himself. From Caughtoffside:
