Spoilt bar stewards aren't we

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30934464 BBC radio commentary, the game isn't been filmed live, you won't find a stream. Same as Watford

https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/558603593578975232 Jose confirms Mohamed Salah and Andre Schurrle are selected for tomorrow's game. #CFC

Is this even on the radio?

I can't remember what he said, not going to go back and find it now. I remember thinking Schurrle will start then, but may have misread it. I'll sit on the fence on this one, could be completely legit or illness could be an convenient excuse

Really? Jose said in his press conference yesterday he was starting. Can't find anywhere reporting this.

Schurrle not even on the bench

Bye bye Schurrle

Doesn't matter how it was caused, the fact is he has torn and ruptured ankle ligaments for his last two injuries and he has previous ankle injuries in his career. His ankle is now predisposed to breaking down and his injury history shows this as he is getting repeated ankle injuries. He may play the rest of his career not suffering an injury but if you put a gun to my head and asked me if Reus will get another injury, I would say yes, to his ankle.

I'm not sold on Reus at all (for Chelsea). Obviously a great player, but I don't think he ticks enough boxes for mourinho and he is massively injury prone

It gives them a chance to look at him properly, rather than the 4 months thats left this season

Thats not what he said. The context of his comments were that Cuadrado is a Fiorentina player so he fits in the Fiorentina team ie I dont speak about other teams players

Can't see it with FFP and all. One will be being used as a smokescreen for the other I imagine

Exactly, this is why Reus is a no go. Its not fifa or football manager where you just buy the best players. The best players are those that fit your system the best. Mourinho has made allowances for Hazard being in his team, he cant fit another one in, it'd drive him mad. Fair play to Hazard though, he's ticked more boxes since working with Jose

I dont remember Matic, Costa, Oscar, Dave, etc being linked with these teams and theyve turned out alright. We have to trust the opinions of the people who are payed to make these decisions. Being realistic, are we going to compete with RM, Barcelona, Bayern when it comes to signing players? No we're not

https://twitter.com/BrazilStats/status/558388863534510080 BREAKING - Shakhtar's Douglas Costa has confirmed that he has received an offer by Chelsea according to Globoesporte: "It would be a dream."

His buy out is £26.8m, remind me not hire you as a negotiator

It sounds like we are trying to pay as little as we can for him before meeting his buy out clause. I imagine Fiorentina have rejected our initial off and this is their manager publically stating that we need to pay the buy out if we want him

This is the perfect scenario

Nobody is slagging him. People aren't happy with what he's said, huge difference

Two serious ankle injuries, missed 14 games in the first half of the 2014/15 season, hasn't played a game since his last injury 3 months ago and is CL cup tied. Can't work out why Jose doesn't want to bring him in now.
