Most Chelsea signings I really only know from reputation.  Pretty exciting to get a player who I know is quality because I've seen it with my own eyes.

 

Quite a nice pre-World Cup surprise.  Did not expect it to happen so soon.

He will have to get used to our love of celery though...

Im absolutely buzzing. Best news of the week. Matic - Cesc in the double pivot :D

WHAT THE f**kKKK, I JUST SPAT MY DRINK OUT

I announced it on my group Football Chat on facebook and surprise surprise none of my Arsenal mates have made a comment

OOOOOOOOOOHHHH YEEAAAHHH (Macho Man Voice)

Please announce Costa before the end of the week too

I am greedt, so greedy I'm gonna order a takeaway haha

Anyone else feeling bullish about next seaosn?

Brilliant signing. What a steal

Firstly, it would never happen.

 

Secondly, if it did happen, Lampard would whack him so hard he would never come back.

 

Thirdly, he's a w**ker of the highest order.

 

Next.

 

oops

 

Never gonna happen and don't want him

 

oops

 

Wow wow wow! Knew it was gonna happen but still shocked. Now lets wrap Costa up tomorrow please

 

double oops!

 

- However, I agree with David, he's a w**ker and with Bobby - don't want him.  Any road up, it's done now, so I'll get my magic marker pen out and cross out Torres and put his name on my replica shirt.  I never ever claimed to be consistent!

Congratulations to Chelsea for winning the 2014/2015 Premier League Title.

Don't get carried away

 

And for starters If Ramires is playing first team football next season then I'm going to be absolutely furious, if not fabregas replacing him there then we need another midfielder.

Get.

The.

Hell.

In.

 

I'd just like to point out that it was yours truly, who bumped this thread from last year and thus obviously affected our club's thinking. No need to thank me, by the way, I just foresee things before they have a chance to materialize.

Excellent signing! To think that Barca allegedly rejected £40m from Moyes a year ago...

I started to have my doubts that it would happen but I'm glad we'e got Fabregas. He adds something different to our midfield.

I'd rather go back to 1 sitting midfielder, not 2.

 

Something like:

 

Cech

 

Azpilicueta

Terry

Cahill

Ivanovic

 

Matic

 

Fabregas

Oscar

 

Hazard

Costa

Shurrle

Leggo

I like that formation, more of a 4-3-3. Courtois for Cech and maybe a Left Back for Ivan/Dave. I don't think Fabregas would work in the double pivot of a 4-2-3-1 so hopefully we do something like that.

Don't be silly.

Great signing! 

I think we may well see Costa tonight before Brazil kick off...
