The Chels

BBC and the Guardian are both reporting it (as I quoted to him above). I think he's in denial.

True. This summer: Chelsea - Atletico - Benfica

It might be better than last year but it's not good enough to fight on 4 fronts. Let's hope he does replace Lukaku if he sells him but I'm not too sure.

We've tried that before and not had much success. I remember Gary Neville pointing out that Mourinho was constantly having to tell Schurrle where to position himself and make his runs against PSG away.

That was ages ago

Absolutely but with Costa there isn't only the risk of injuries but also of not adapting quickly enough (less likely) and suspensions (very likely). I think Mourinho might gamble on the combination of Costa, Torres and Drogba until January at least, and this could well be his downfall.

Sky Sports attribute this idea to Lukaku's "Italian agent" who is apparently Mino Raiola. I don't think he is actually Romelu's agent though:

I think Frank will be the Chelsea manager one day.

I don't rate him at all. Hard-working but would add nothing new.

If the guy to his left wasn't leaning forward it wouldn't look half as bad.

It's 3 in 5 days if you consider: 8th August - Fenerbahçe/Beşiktaş 10th August - Ferencvaros 12th August - Real Sociedad

Surprised he wasn't following Hazard before.

I remember he was doing it before his injury as well though. I think he just loves to tackle!

In the second half I think he was playing the number 10 role although he dropped back quite often.

Every tweet by Cesc or Filipe Luis is greeted with so much resentment from their ex-clubs' fans

I think it really helped Zouma having Fabregas play in front of him. It meant Zouma's building from the back and passing responsibilities (which seem a weakness of his) were minimised.

He can certainly pick out a pass - nice to see

I got Chelsea TV with Sky because it's relatively easy to haggle with them and get it for less than the £6/month stated.

Yep the whole thing tends to be very cringeworthy like when Fabregas was asked about the young players and he said he had only trained a couple of times so didn't really know

Weren't there rumours in summer 2012 that we pulled out of a deal to sign him because he had a heart problem?

I bought Chelsea TV on Sky and it took over a week for the Chelsea website to accept my Sky viewing card number and give me the Fan Club Plus membership which was annoying.

Oh never knew that. Thanks!

It was free? I thought you had to log in and have Fan Club Plus+ activated.
