Ashley Cole @TheRealAC3 · 43m Will never forget my time in England was a pleasure, but now onto a new challenge Best of luck to one of the finest left backs I've ever seen play! Will keep an eye on Roma's results from now on! LEGEND! :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

I cannot believe Diego Costa is younger than I am. He looks like he's been the kingpin of a drug cartel for double my lifetime.

Filipe Luis is likely to remain at Atlético de Madrid, at least if there is no significant change on the first offer made by #CFC. (Marca) The clause in the Luis' contract is fixed at a figure slightly higher than €24m and for Atlético that figure is not negotiable. #CFC (Marca) Atlético's anger is doubled by the way Filipe communicated his decision to not accept an improved contract and make clear he wants to leave. Filipe Luis' attitude has left him in a difficult situation - on Monday he'll be obliged to turn up at #Atletico & start pre-season training

Most of these player threads end up with the whole 'what have you done for me lately' approach. Hazard had a fantastic season with Chelsea, sure he didn't play to his ability at all during this WC but a LOT of players haven't either. Signing or even basing opinions on players based on a World Cup is dangerous and I think the media have a lot to do with it with their: 'if they don't do it in the WC or Champions League then they are not world class'. Regardless of the last few weeks of football I fully expect Eden Hazard to be dazzling at the Bridge and making full-backs fall on their arses.

Happy 48th Birthday to the little genius and the player that got me into CFC many many years ago! LEGEND!

Kurt Zouma is set to leave Chelsea this summer, with #ASMonaco set to beat Sunderland in signing the defender on loan. #CFC (DailyStar)

He's going nowhere. It's gonna be another season of: 'well he's shit' *Torres scores one or two goals* 'He might not be shit' Looks promising. Gets sent off/injured. 'Oh this guy can't catch a break, poor love.' Comes back. Plays shit. 'Oh well, at least we have Costa back from suspension soon for kicking *insert player here* up the arse. (Creative licence used.)' Meanwhile the Torres thread reaches over 1,000 pages.

Tiago has also signed for Chelsea. Although Atlético are negotiating hard, Filipe Luis will eventually be going to Chelsea (AS) #CFC Tiago wanted to go to Dubai or Qatar but Mourinho entrusted with him a mission - short-term play for #CFC & long term be his assistant (AS) Tiago has been instrumental in signing Diego Costa for #CFC. Mourinho also asked him to convince Filipe Luis to play at Stamford Bridge (AS)

THAT is the Romelu Lukaku I want to see. Young. Hungry. Powerful. Clinical! I was critical of Lukaku's attitude when he was subbed off, I think a lot of us were, but we all want the boy to succeed. So well done Romelu, you've turned the game into a win for your country. Learning curve. Get in!

The top comments on facebook made me laugh 'Waste', 'He sucks bring back Lukaku', ' we don't want him'. Christ almighty its irritating when he doesnt even have to miss a chance in a blue shirt before 'fans' jump on him. Ridiculous. If all works out well for him we won't be reading that! More like 'Awesome', 'Sell Lukaku we have Costa!' and 'Please stay forever'. Welcome Diego, fingers crossed you prove the doubters wrong and score a hatful. I am keeping my expectations low but that's understandable in recent years haha!

Chelsea have been approached about a £15m deal for Nigeria striker Emmanuel Emenike from Fenerbahce (Mail) #CFC

The typical player who 'maximises his minutes' on the pitch. Never grumbles. Top lad!

Would be a good addition. Nice bit of depth in midfield, bit of a 'jack of all trades' type player. Would welcome him back with open arms!

Filipe Luis is so determined to push through his protracted transfer to #CFC that he has cut off all contact with Atletico Madrid. (Express) Luis spent summer ignoring Atletico's requests to talk. While they are furious at his behaviour they will not lower £19m tag. #CFC (Express)

Graham Hunter @BumperGraham · 28m Sorry Liverpool fans but that 'apology' from Suarez stinks of what Barça demanded of him in order to bid/sign. It's on the move

Rory Smith ‏@RorySmithTimes "Of course I didn't cheat on you darling. But I accept that she may have suffered the physical effects of a penis Rory Smith ‏@RorySmithTimes "No, your honour, I didn't punch him. But I accept he may have suffered the physical effects of a fist." :tophat:

Tiago, ex-@Atleti, will sign a 2 years deal with @chelseafc. He refused Zenit and Monaco. #CFC (via @_GoncaloLopes)

Liverpool fans and the whole of Uruguay now:

Seems to me like Uruguay as a whole needs a reality check. Welcoming him back as a hero? Sick. This on top of shameful team mates reactions and the recent reaction of a committee member Oscar Tabarez saying Suarez is a scapegoat?! PLEASE! Shame on them. Colombia better smash those feckers out!! Oh and no surprise that King Kenny Dogleash is going all out to say he needs help and Liverpool must support them! Getting another t shirt printed are we mate? I can't stand that little cretin.

Chelsea understood to be interested in move for one-time #NUFC target Aubameyang. #CFC #BVB (The Chronicle)
