Wow for the meltdown. Easy, people, Belgium players and Mikel are just back for a couple of days, no way they are performing like crazy. Shame on you who judge any of them in this match. They are obviously only 50-65% on fitness level. Agree that the rest generally not playing their best performance, but judging them for this match? No way.

Seems like he will go on loan obviously. Seems strange to extend his contract in the first place, better sell him I think. Can see we stick with Matic, Fabregas, Ramires, Van Ginkel and Mikel for at least 2 years. No chance for him.

Expected to see Torres to score and the meltdown today.

Lol, it seems the effect from Alex's post is more pour gasoline on the fire.

http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/psgs-e75m-move-for-real-madrids-angel-di-maria-is-imminent-el-confidencial/ Imminent to PSG for 75 millions. Holy hell. Eden will be valued at least 150 millions 2-3 years from now.

Agree completely.

Has been with us 9 season and still 27 years old. While only Cech and JT longer and they are much older than him. He might potentially end up as the longest player stayed in RA era. Crazy. Mikel, Chelsea legend

Jose rate him as a backup for Matic. Poor Romeu.

Could we change his role to goalkeeping coach or something? Maybe for the youth. With Courtois and Cech, with all respect for him, I am still thinking we doesn't need Mark, he occupied one non HG quota, and better give the quota for Mikel. Prefer Blackman for the 3rd GK.

Very excited to see Courtois for the first time on the pitch wearing Chelsea shirt.

Hmm, I always think the opposite all this time. Card stats comparison might be the answer then. Well, hopefully Costa doesn't get any red card here.

Exactly, not to mentioned that Red Card more easily given in PL than La Liga, right? He must be careful indeed, one headbutt and he will be red carded and at least 3 match suspension, also there is FA who could make it worse. While in La Liga he might only just given yellow card.And then we are back with Torres and Drogba.... just like the old days, huh, just like the old days..

That would be an ideal condition, like Mourinho said. Romeu for sure will go. The problem is we still have 1 surplus non HG player even if Romeu go, someone between Cech, Mikel and Torres must go too. Most likely it is Mikel, I'm afraid because of that our CM position turn from the strongest to our weakest position.

Lol, isn't it vice versa, if we win the PL, Cesc could win Player of the Year ?

Lol, he is definitely on top of all time diving list in PL by a distance.

Let's bang them, can't wait for tomorrow

All legendary names in there, until I saw Ashley Young...

Now you mentioned about it. Anyway the point is Fabregas did that number of assist in 7 seasons at a team like Arsenal is quite exceptional.

Indeed, also his stats in Barca around 40+ goal and 40+ assist in 3 years. Crazy good.

We have to sell or loan 2 non HG players, my best bet is Mikel and Romeu will go. We are quite thin in CM position because of that. I would love to see Baker or Chalobah make it to the first team squad as a cover to our CM. But maybe it is not enough. Also I have my concern maybe Jose think they're not ready yet. I think we should buy another good CM U21 players, I have searched on the internet, not many familiar names I get. I could make a long list for AMC or winger position, but for CM or DM position it is very limited. Maybe there are some young South American players, I've never heard of, but that would be a big gamble. Another option is buying English player, hell, the only one I would love to just signed a new contract (Ross Barkley). It is very few option out there, I just found Pogba and Kondogbia, both are just turned 21 years old this year and qualified as U21, although Pogba is count HG anyway. So, I would like to see we break the bank for one of them, although it might be hard to lure them because they are already at Juventus and Monaco, but call us buying the league or whatever others want, we will almost sure win titles with an addition of one of them.

Sign him up, I hope he doesn't have any ill-feeling about Chelsea, after what we did with some of our Belgium players.

*sigh

Hmm, after I re-think about it. I understand how some of you feels disappointed about this. After all the years he has with us and what Jose and Roman said to him, he could coming back to this club as whatever position he want, he do this. It is like he is saying, 'f*** all of that, I'm joining City, I do what I want', something like that. Well, there are always some points to cheer about, first, he is going on loan and not permanent, I'll be gutted much more if it's permanent move. Second, it is City, I'll be more furious if its Pool, MU, Spurs, Arsenal or QPhaha. Third, it is 6 months, not one full season. Fourth, at the moment, I prefer Fabregas than Lamps any days. From his perspective, I also could understand about it. It is not like NYC FC owner asking him, 'Mr. Lampard, our season starting next year, until then I'll let you train with any clubs you want, so which one do you want? Real Madrid? Barcelona? PSG? Milan? Bayern?' and then Lamps answer, 'Huh!? f*** all of them, I want Man City! It is always my dream to play wearing sky blue shirt'. No, it is clear he is 'forced' to go to City. The only reason why he is not chosing Chelsea is because it is forbidden to do that, as Chelsea is a direct rival of Man City. The strong indication, I think, is from the rumour said that he don't want to play against Chelsea. And why he is not chosing to go to Australia then? it seems like it is because he still want to play for England. I appreciate this, but to be honest, I think this is the root cause. He needs to stay fit and ready for MLS as well as remain competitive and keep an eye for England NT. If he has retired from England after WC, I'm almost certain he will joining Villa at Australia right now.

Dear Roman, please call him and do something about it, we count on you sir. Thank you.

What the? Sign him up
