I... I think I'm in love with Eden Hazard.

If neither Mata or De Bruyne play, there will be a mutiny.

I want Galatasaray. I want Drogba to come back to the Bridge, in whatever capacity. The response he'd get would be phenomenal.

And Lukaku!

Oscar and De Bruyne are looking simply phenomenal.

The more I watch Brazil, the more convinced I am that he has much more talent to be seen.

It's not ridiculous. How can it be a bad thing to bring in a talented player who happens to be a bit different than what we have?

I'd gladly take Hulk. Yes, we have a gluttony of attacking mids right now, but he can play out wide and provides something none of our wide men have - a left foot. Hazard, Moses, Oscar, Ramires, de Bruyne, and Marin are all right-footed. Obviously not a huge concern, but it would give us just a dose of variety.

Dortmund's CEO has said Lewandowski will not be allowed to go to Bayern.

According to Le Parisién, Cavani has agreed to join Chelsea and we have triggered his release clause. I'm not sure how reputable Le Parisién is, but it's something!

We better not sell Mata. I'd rather have The Special Juan than The Special One.

It's been made official by his agent that Gomez is leaving Bayern. http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer/bundesliga/story/mario-gomez-set-to-leave-bayern-munich-this-summer-according-to-agent-060613

Hey, some of us did only start supporting in '03, but we were 10 years old (and American) at the time!

Around 10 years old, my parents brought me back a Chelsea shirt from London. I never wore it and it just sat in my closet until I decided to start watching some English soccer one day. I already had the Chelsea shirt, so I figured I'd start with them. Saw a match, absolutely loved Lampard, Drogba, Essien, and the like, and was in love. 19 now, and I'm sold out on CFC! I have been to the Bridge and actually had tickets for Villa home this year, but the match was moved back one day, which put it in conflict with my flight home... Incredibly excited to see the Blues in my hometown!

American. Indianapolis born and raised.

Anybody planning on going? Being from Indianapolis, I couldn't be more excited!

Anybody heard anything on us pursuing him? Can't say I like him (being American and a Blue) but I'd welcome his talent with open arms to the Bridge.

As an American, let me say we are all embarrassed by Altidore.

ESPN reporting Neymar is plotting a move to Chelsea. Apparently Luiz, Ramires, and Oscar have been persuading him and it's worked. Just a report, of course. Don't shoot the messenger.

196!

I cannot for the life of me comprehend why he continues to play a mediocre left back on the right wing, play Torres over one of the best in the PL, and leave promising youngsters out to dry. Let's face it, Marin has been woeful, but he hasn't had enough game time, and the time he has had has been in the wrong position. I've never liked Benitez, but I at least had hope that the guy who salvaged wins and points out of nothing at Liverpool would be able to use some of those tactics to score us a few points. We have arguably the best young attacking talent in the Premiership, yet our interim is too stubborn to let them play loosely and flowing. Hazard, Mata, Marin, Oscar, Piazon, Feruz, De Bruyne, Lukaku, the list continues. Why do we continue to ignore youngsters when we could have a squad of world-beaters for years to come?

Do they need a replacement? Even after Balotelli's departure they have Aguero, Tevez, and Dzeko. Three top-class strikers.

They're very good at football. Therefore, I'm cool with it.

Well, you're wrong.
