Lampard (1/2): "Juan Mata is an absolutely fantastic player and more than that he is an absolutely great lad..." (ITV) #CFC Lampard (2/2): "The difficult thing here is that there are so many quality players & Oscar has been fantastic this year, as has Hazard" #CFC

According to German newspaper Bild, #CFC have identified Real Sociedad's Antoine Griezmann as the man to improve their faltering frontline. Chelsea interest remains firm and Mourinho could make a late move for Antoine Griezmann before the end of the week. #CFC (Mirror)

VERY impressed with Matic. Had a huge smile on my face watching him play. Also Oscar, take a bow son!

The little Genius Gianfranco Zola as pundit. LEGEND!! :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

Schurrle and Matic start? Oh boy that's some good stuff right there!!

Farewell Juan. Classy guy. Classy footballer. Just an all round great human being. A rare thing in football. I wish him the best because that's what he always gave us fans! LEGEND! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

Oh how I hate this camel faced has been!!!!

I remember jumping for joy out of my seat. Sweet, sweet strike.

Wow.Can someone call a waaaaambulance for Wenger and Pellegrini please?! Jeepers!

Just to give a laugh at a much needed time:

Bye then.

Thank you for the memories Juan. It will be difficult being happy to see a player in a Man Utd shirt but considering the talent and type of person the man seems to be then I can just about manage it! I don't think blaming Mata/Mourinho/the club will do anything now other than bring about a hostile atmosphere normally reserved for the Liverpool forum That corner for the Drogba equaliser. The goals against L'Arse, the double away at the spuds, the times I was amazed by his class and poise every time I saw him either away or home, and much much more. Juan Mata. Easily one of my favourite players to don a Chelsea shirt, even more incredible considering his time here is cut short. The fact that I can't even dislike him a little bit for joining United speaks volumes! Cheers for everything!! Hope he gets included in the World Cup Squad. I know there is a mass of talent but there must be room for a little maestro! Also, Man Utd, if you harm a hair on his head. I will find you. And I will kill you. (Sorry I couldn't resist!) Onwards and upwards Chelsea!!!!!!!! :blue scalf:

HAHA at the one journalist asking about Stoke. Mourinho liked that one! Mourinho: 'Journalist of the month!'

Mourinho on Salah: 'We were not prepared to replace Juan in the squad, so things [with Salah] moved very fast.' #CFC Mourinho on Salah: 'I like how he can play the same way our attacking players do, adapting to the left/right, or as a no10.' #CFC

I swear, Mourinho could sell paper to a tree. Thanks for everything Juan. Good luck in the future.

The family watched first-team training before Eto’o joined the boys for a 20-minute kickabout on the indoor pitch. Nathan was struck dumb when his hero strolled through the doors with a big smile on his face, but, in fairness, the young brothers coped considerably better with the striker than the Manchester United defence had done four days earlier. Eto’o offered a few tips and soon had Nathan slamming his penalty kicks high into the top corner before they all sat down for a chat ending with a group hug. ‘I don’t know who is the happiest, me or Nathan,’ smiled Eto’o, after signing his vivid Puma boots, a ball and a shirt, then handing them to the boys and inviting the family to join him at Stamford Bridge for Sunday’s FA Cup fourth-round tie against Stoke.

Trabzonspor President: "We agreed terms with Ba . After Torres' injury Mourinho made it clear that they didn't want to let go just yet" #CFC

Looking forward to the press conference tomorrow. Should be.....interesting to say the least!

Cheers Bison. Top player in his pomp.

Graeme Bailey ‏@GraemeBailey 2h Salah one side, Hazard the other - mouthwatering prospect for Chelsea and their fans. Terrific signing.
