Florent malouda will play for Delhi dynamos this season in the Indian super league.

I tried to put a "vote for pedro" pic but it doesn't work on my phone.

Not sure if its only me, but Costa looks out of place playing for Spain. He is not a spanish player in terms of playing style, and he has nothing to do with Spain NT system.

Its called a 4-3-3
And city even parked the bus more and play demichelis in midfield??

Looking at that video the overriding thought is that if we ever get a technical striker that can consistently play a good give and go Hazard he will score a lot of goals.

(apparently) According to Bild, Bayern plans to hijack the Mata move with a €48M bid.

Seeing your best player from the last two seasons go away to a rival is never something you want to see, I'm sad about this but hopefully Jose knows what he's doing and replaces him with someone who fits his playing style better and helps towards getting our hands on the premier league trophy. I have mixed emotions about this but there's nothing I can do to change anything, so I'm just hoping for the best.

Too bad we don't have a player called "AUTO".

Mata crosses the ball, Matic scores
MATAMATICS

Imagine when he steps on to the field and the music starts playing " Guess who's back? back again. Matic's back, tell a friend."

Anderlecht is still pushing to loan Thorgan Hazard untill the end of the season, if possible with a option to buy.
Zulte saying they have a strong case and that Thorgan's contract won't allow him to leave now.
Tbc..

brilliant again

Did well ,his focus should be , we need to keep a clean sheet today or concede just one ,not I want to nick balls that are 50/50 or beat a player and hit a 50 yard pass or score from a 30 yard free kick .
I feel that once he focuses on basic defending and playing the percentages his natural ability will come through with the confidence not conceding silly goals will bring,even stay off freekicks for a bit and just concentrate on defending,make it the priority not all the flash stuff as that will come off once the defending is right . I think we saw the start of that yesterday ,Jose will sort him out and make him the player he should be , I am confident that will happen for Chelsea .

I have mixed emotions about this draw, on the one hand i'm happy that Drogba is coming and on the other, sad that he won't be wearing blue.

For a big guy, he surprisingly doesn't win many balls in the air.

agreed. People call him target man here, which I agree would have been a good alternative if true, but he isn't that player. He's more of a poacher actually. He goes to the ground way too often for a guy of his build - really puzzling.
Actually think Lukaku is physically stronger and better in the air than Ba.
Ba is a decent player who can score goals, but he can't possibly be a starter for Chelsea (or Roma).

For a big guy, he surprisingly doesn't win many balls in the air.

Is it just me or does every striker we buy stop scoring soon after the transfer?

Mikel has started just 9 of 24 games, lets not paint a rosy pictures by saying he has played 20 out of 24. But then, mikel fanboys have nothing but false claims and lies to fall back on.
His only competition is a 35 year old, out of position Lampard. If that doesnt tell you how mourinho rates Mikel, then you need to take off those tinted glasses.

IMO Mikel has a very poor season throughout ,,but the last game he had me screaming ,, He broke down so many of OUR moves by taking too
long to get the ball forward ,, Gale is the worst most biased commentator we get ,, BUT he got it 100% correct about Mikel ...
He stops any chance of a quick break from us when he gets the ball .

He has failed to deliver for over 3 years now.. he's lost all the playmaking abilities that endeared us to him when he came to Chelsea. We need a man with a spine and the ability to make things happen going forward, not this guy, sadly.

Thing with Mikel is he is 'alright' I'm sorry but we need better than 'alright' we need someone that is consistent more often than not and someone we can look to and quite consistently say....."rock solid again" and not 'he did alright' because most of the time he does do alright, but we are litered with top notch players that now and in the future have a massive ceiling, Mikel, for me, isn't that, we need much better.
I'm all for giving one of our other young lads a crack, and this is my opinion but we can do much better than Mikel.
