Guys, what would you think about getting Riccy back? He'd be pretty cheap as Mourinho said he is not counting on him for this season.

With our current options at defense I struggle to think when he would play but as an experienced backup I wouldn't mind him. Eh, I guess I just miss him.

Be a pointless signing,he is to old, don't need a CB and even if we did we have Bruma to recall back.

Plus in a pinch we have achalobah or Kane who could come in at RB and push Ivan back into the middle. Wuld rather that than pay for Prcy to come back.

The Sun (Hahahahahaha) are reporting that we've turned a £30m bid from Man City for David Luiz. Apparently Mancini wants him as cover for Micah Richards who is injured.

This bit almost made me choke on my cigarette...

Luiz was axed from last night’s win over Reading while Chelsea and City tried to thrash out a deal — though the Brazilian centre-back claimed on Twitter he has a knee injury.

Followed by this..

Chelsea were angered by the Tweet and Luiz has been fined.

Boss Roberto Di Matteo said: “This social media thing is all around us now. We’ll deal with it internally.”

Really?

If they're going to spout bullsh*t they could atleast make it partially believable.

Linked to a completely different Brazilian striker according to the Mail.

Chelsea could make a shock move for Metalist Kharkiv’s Brazilian forward Taison.

The 24-year-old is seen as a £12million alternative to Hulk and Edinson Cavani if they prove to be beyond the Londoners’ reach.

The creative force behind Metalist’s rise in Ukraine can play just behind the main striker or on the flank and had been compared to Shakhtar Donetsk forward Willian by scouts.

Taison was surprisingly left out of his club’s match at the weekend, with sources claiming he was given leave to return to Brazil to explore visa and passport options ahead of a possible move to Stamford Bridge. The former Internacional player finds himself caught up in a chain of deals.

Coincidentally, Porto are interested in him in case they lose their Brazil striker Hulk to Chelsea.

And Shakhtar have him top of their list to replace Willian if he completes a move to Tottenham, having seen his own transfer to Chelsea fall through.

Never heard of him.

I love that type of journalism... "Could make a shock move"

Yeah, we could make a shock move on Messi too. We could make all kinds of shock moves. We aren't though.

Bunch of twits...

Not impressed, to be honest.

He needs to work on his hair game and maybe he'll be Chelsea quality in a couple of years.

I think Willian may be able to cut it here:

Why would we want him we need a forward

what? It says he plays behind the striker or on the flank but we need a striker not another behind the striker player

I wasn't actually saying we should sign Willian. I was adding to TBB's joke about Chelsea-ready hair with Willian's picture, because let's face it, Willian has some great hair.

Im sure he could cut it here ;)

Fair enough, sorry for misreading.

Adam Johnson in talks with Sunderland, transfer fee can't be that high then, he impressed me last season when he played, would be worth a punt if he's cheap enough!

Drogba and Anelka might be clubless soon due to Shanghai not being able to pay their wages.

who the hell cares about anelka?

drogba come backkkkkkkkkkk

Is this true?

Torres is having nightmares right now if this is true.

I'd expect them to go to the MLS. A league with teams that actually pay their wages.

Both back to France or maybe the UAE, they will get a big pay packet there. France would be more for them personally.

fener offering 10m for essien? id take it

Sadly, it is probably best for Essien to move on. Though I'm growing concerned with a lack of enforcers in midfield. We're just relying on Mikel as the muscle at the moment and the day I see a Chelsea side get bullied is a day I don't want to live through. Perhaps the rumours of Dembele are founded?

As much as I would hate the day he leaves I think an offer like that would be difficult to turn down. Those injuries took away one of the most powerful midfielders in europe and he if he is struggling to get in our team then letting him go for that kind of fee makes sense.

I hear England is going to replace Umbro with Nike kits

Agreed. City made a huge mistake there, IMO.

At Sunderland, I can see Johnson becoming the next James Milner. I think he shows his class once again, and then gets a move back to a top level side. Arsenal or Man Utd going for him in 12 months is something I can see. I would love to have AJ here.
