I hope it's done soon. Need those signings to get lined-up early.

"It's good to see Loftus-Cheek, Clarke-Salter and Miazga coming in. We cannot win anything, which makes it easier. It's good to see how they deal with the pressure. I always like to bring in youngsters and now we have the rest of the season to do it more frequently." -Guus

If he works hard and Conte likes him, I don't see why Chelsea wouldn't want to sign him up. Proven goalscorer, only needs to adapt to PL and work hard. We need more strikers for next season, but we need to spend big money from BACK to FRONT. Pato could be a good compromise for depth at a forward position

Gianelli Imbula. Naingolan. a third CM, and a load of new defenders.

He'll probably be around for another season and the final verdict will be clear. Unfortunately. Most of the fans aren't premature in wanting Oscar gone.

Talksport has made the interesting point about the young England starters today: many of them were not part of the U-21 club system. I have to ask: what do Southampton usually do with their developing players?

Excellent subs by Hodgson, more total crap from Loew on the attacking side. Özil rhymes with over-rated. How many touches? Happy for victory and for English fans.

sounds like Belgium should fail in the Euro comp this year. they have some good defenders but I think when you hear their side of things, you should just flash a photo of Messi, Neymar, and Suarez in their faces. South America. Go ahead and try for a "bigger club."

Looks good technically and is strong. I still don't see many strikers out there to buy at the right age, with ability, experience and potential, strength and a good scoring record (accurate shooter).

Count me in as one who doesn't care what happens with this player. I think we'd do better to get Ighalo in ASAP this summer window. Costa isn't a leader but I think he wants everything his way. Also, he's not as strong as people think/thought he is. Imbula, Kouyate and Ighalo look like candidates for summer spending to me.

He's not under-rated by anyone because if Chelsea have the aspirations of a "big club," then Mikel isn't good enough. If we're going for medriocrity, Mikel's fine. let's see what happens in MF with the WHU match.

It's possible to win, but even without Matuidi and Veratti, I think PSG have an edge. Thiago Motta is a better CM than anyone in Chelsea's squad, so just throw in a couple other CMs with him and PSG are fine.

I think it's zero points today.

15 minutes remaining. will we win? get it in the box to Remy.

Bear battle. Big bear on little bear.

Still too damn slow, chelsea.

When the ball goes to the wing with this side, I really wonder what the players think is going to happen if they keep doing the same thing over and over, waiting, dwelling, waiting. Do we just need better center midfielders for interplay, or is Hazard just doing the wrong thing repeatedly? Clearly nothing happens between Hazard and Matic. goes nowhere.

fuck me! I love you Berty!

wake me up when Chelsea start passing quicker.

Let's see if Oscar can do something. I know Bertrand can.

If we win today, we're officially the in-form side of the PL, correct? FFS, I don't wanna see Oscar starting right now. Let's see the other Brazilian or Traore. Shaqiri v. Rahman... interesting. Imbula in MF. I want a 3-0 or 3-1 win, but I don't know about our attack with an Oscar starting.

Regardless of La Liga's quality of defending, I am excited to see Musonda play for CFC 1st team.

personally, I think it was foolish to let Cech go in order to make Courtois the number 1 permanently, but we'll see next season.

We ought not see more of the Hazard show next time out. Could Kenedy be starting at FB? Is Ola Aina out of the question? Yea, like others said: thank you, Branislav (and TY to Forster).

Time for Bertrand... Hazard off.
