The Chels

Tiago and probably Khedira will come in.

If we only spoke about 'important' things in life, then there wouldn't be much to talk about.

The original tweet and link have been deleted because they wrote Felipe. Embarrassing blunder! New link http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2014/07/filipe-luis-deal-completed.html

Zouma gets number 3 instead of the starting LB Filipe Luis? That's stupid.

They spelt it as 'Felipe' in the title

A random fan on twitter should never be quoted as a transfer source lol

To me an administrative error would seem more likely than bad genes/skin, but your explanation is fair so I think it is just that he's the oldest-looking 25-year-old I've ever seen lol

I know everyone jokes about it but I think it is quite worrying that he could well be much older than 25. Might he already be in his peak now and therefore not show the kind of development and improvement we would expect from him over the coming years?

The comment above is an adaption of Mourinho's comments on Eto'o lol

You can never trust what he says. We were supposed to have a 'quiet' window! Do you have a link to the interview by any chance?

Ivanovic hopefully, with Azpi starting at RB.

Erm if that were the case then why would we spend up to £20m on him when we could have just kept Azpi there?

Earlier I read a post on there that said man-for-man our (new) starting 11 is only better than theirs in the GK department (Courtois vs. Joe Hart)

So much for being 'quiet' during the transfer window eh Jose! http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/2014/05/02/ib-mourinho-press-conference-4/

Yeah think so http://oneworldsports.com/stories/chelsea-acquire-atletico-madrids-filipe-luis

Wouldn't mind Khedira if he replaced Ramires, otherwise it's a pointless signing.

Filipe Luis >> Shaw (right now)

lol have you seen this? His technique and control are woeful for a professional footballer.

Assuming van Gaal actually selects him

True his attitude has been poor for a while and we all know that he is just staying here for the money, but putting him in the reserves (hypothetically speaking) would be beneficial for neither side. It would look incredibly bad on the club as it would gather a lot of publicity - Torres is still a big name worldwide.

I'm not a fan of the new font tbh. Anyone else having trouble activating their FanClub Plus subscription? I have ChelseaTV on Sky and the website says to enter my Sky viewing card number as the promotional code, but it doesn't accept it.

Taking his number off him, putting him in the reserves, etc. would be incredibly harsh. Yes he's now a rubbish footballer, a mercenary perhaps (aren't we all?!) but he's not a bad guy.

We definitely need a good back-up for when Costa is injured/off-form/inevitably suspended. Not sure Lukaku fits the bill.

Man United's mouthpiece, which he is.

Even more reliable is Andy Mitten, who thinks a deal will be done. I think United are briefing the media that they're not interested in Vidal (for whatever reason) even though they obviously are.
