Thats not how those clauses work. Isco's is £15M. Thats not what Malaga would like to 'accept'. Why on earth do you think they are trying to get him on a new deal? The 'first refusal' was media speculation, putting 2 and 2 together, nothing more.

I expect a loss. Lampard-ramires pivot, we'll get countered. Torres starting, so we'll more than likely be playing with 10 men..

First choice doesn't make sense given all anyone has to do is meet his biy-out clause and the club has no say...

Oh right. Must be crap then so? And I guess since he's crap we should sell Courtois to Barcelona? I love you well thought out logic.

So you rate us seventh? Behind Athletico, United, Barca, Real, Bayern, City? Based on what? Our current run of form? The fact we're out of the champions league? Given the circumstances (you even went and listed them for me) I think we're doing fine. Had we got a proper manager at the helm for the full season, and had a proper striker all season we'd no doubt be in teh UCL last 16, and be a lot closer to the top of the league too. You can't say AM are a bigger club than us..Also if your basing it off our UCL form, I suppose Utd were a smaller club than Napoli last season? And given the fact City got raped in their group this season I suppose Malaga are a bigger club than City? If your basing it off fanbase, we're there too. You looking at this far too narrow minded we're up there and more than capable to hold our own amongst the top teams, all thats holding us back is the holes, I.e Manager and CF which has now hopefully been filled by Ba. Also the fact you bring up Cechs head injury makes no sense as regard his legs? Last I saw they were at the opposite ends of the body, and Cechs among the best keepers in the world.. It would simply be insane to sell Courtois, and why even bother bringing up profit when the 5-10M we'd make would mean little to our club in terms of revenue. And try finding a young keeper as good as Courtois, easily our best prospect and will easily be one of the best keepers for the next 15 years. If he keeps up his current AM form, he's already up there..

What with the Scousers trying to prove Rafa's anything but the fat idiot he is? In his short time at Chelsea it's been anything but misery. He's had the worst start to any chelsea manager. Made a series of managerial mistakes and generally been unbearable. Although I do understand you guys would get behind Mourinho, he's the best coach in the world, and not a twat like Benitez. As to Sturridge, looks like he's doing well for Liverpool, best of luck to him.

Would like to hear who your rate above us then? In terms of fanbase and revenue we're up there too.. You think AM are at a better standard than Chelsea? Yes, based on our current form, but not in terms of club V club.. The loan move has nothing to do with 'proving' himself, but adjusting to life in the premier league. De Gea a prime example as to why you should do that. We were the club that went to Belgium and got himself and KdB their big moves, he should be more than grateful to us.

Always thought he was mainly a RM in a 4-3-3 rather than a pure Cm.. Suarez push in our 1-1 draw with Liverpool game a prime example that bulking would do him no harm. A bulking routine could more than likely do the opposite given he'd had improved leg strength and explosiveness.

Because we currently have a fat Spanish twat? And thats being nice to Benitez..

There was me thinking we were fighting relegation in league 1 and that we hadn't competed in Europe for 20 years... Deary me, we're easily in the top 5 teams in Europe, if he's not happy with that, he can f**k right off. Maybe we should just give him to Barcelona?

It's true.. Don't think Frankie boy will get one. Paperwork to be done for Coles by Monday.. Saying that, a one year contract makes sense for everyone Coles still a quality player, but he has declined and after next season I honestly feel there will be better players around for a decent price, if not we can get him on another contract.. Would still love to get Luke Shaw wrapped up this window though..

Yes, since he knows it's for his own good. It's one step back to go two steps forward.

Think someone should look at the date of my post..

He might not have the right change in his pocket to pay himself off though..

Que Courtois Courtois

In the same context that Xavi is the Spanish Barry..

Don't believe any rumours about managers for a while. A lot of journo's were left with egg on their face for saying Pep to such and such, saying they had a 'source' which was only guesswork and were left looking stupid once Pep was announced at Bayern. Watch them get news on Klopp and Mourinho now. If I'm honest, I don't see Klopp here at all. So it's pretty much between FSW and José now, for me anyways..

Would a boycott work? How many people would you stop from heading to SB? Even if you got 10-15K every game, over lets say a 3 month period, you talking small money in terms of revenue for Chelsea. Ticket revenue only accounts for about 10% of income. Lets say you have a 55 game season. Now with what's remaining you talking a hit on 20 games. Not even half our games, so your talking a 2% drop in terms of revenue, as compared to last years, which should be up by more than 1% anyhow..Your boycott will have little influence in terms of revenue even if you could drop bridge numbers by 15K per game and since this board only talk in numbers, I can't see it having much of an effect. Far better off, get everyone into the bridge, and let your voices be heard for a full 90 minutes per game and voicing your opinions wherever you can...

U MAD?

Can't see him retiring here tbh. Think he'll be sold within the next two or three years..While he does work his socks off, his distribution is poor, isn't the strongest tackler and isn't exactly clinical at the other end either. He's still quality, nice box to box midfielder, with the influx of passers coming into the team with the likes of Josh and KdB (if they are to succeed here) he'll more than likely lose his place. Still an excellent player, but he's wasted in our system..

Tbf, thats on camera to a program being broadcast worldwide, while I really do hope it is true, he can't really start badmouthing RA on air..

Being successful in business and being successful in football management are two totally different things. Otherwise Sir Alex would be richer than bill gates and Arsenal would be winning the league year in year out given they have a business man at the reign, not a manager...

Sign him and loan him to the saints. Has PACE. Left Azpi for dead..

"Im a fat c**t, who knows nothing about management and should leave Chelsea FC with immediate effect, not that I should have been here anyways, no? I should bring Torres with me too no? He's fat and useless like me too no? Roman has 8.4 Billion no? Surely he could find someone better than me, no?" Thats what he should say. They do say honesty is the best policy.. What that FSW does say, will undoubtedly be absolute bollix...No?

WANT HIM HERE NOW! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=3qYGf9fio8U Ok that was a little over the top, but what a strike son!
