I'm past being concerned about Costa; just need to think about who the backup with be for us next season. The only thing I was thinking on Costa today was that he might just become disinterested in Spain entirely for the future, which might work well for us.

At least 2 d-bags on WAGNH for sure. Don't really need to visit there with the Mirror, Express, BBC, Marca, Bild, twitter, and this forum anyway. After their doucheyness, I'd prefer not giving them any web traffic.

I think this is the wrong move this summer, but I could be wrong. 25 million for the 28 y.o. backup fullback of Brazil? He will be 29 by the start of the season. I really hope Chelsea tried to get Rodriguez from Wolfsburg in January or later on and found that they could only buy Luis. on the bright side, it's 25 million Euros, not pounds sterling.

+No one can predict whether Shaw will develop a consistently good cross and timing on attacks. +Ricardo is already good for free kicks, SOMETHING CHELSEA LACK.

whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rrrrrrrrrrrrrricardo!

I don't think this will happen. He made some nice passes at Arsenal but he's not solid as a defending CM IMO.

Right now, I think Colombia should change to 4-3-3, using Ibarbo and James as wingers. Their CM was not at all solid using the 4231 as they gave Greece far too much space and James didn't play defence for shit in the whole 1st half. Ibarbo gave up on playing forward in the 2nd half because James didn't do anything defensively. either that or Pekerman told Ibarbo to stay back. But the 4231 is stupid for Colombia. They got a free pass today from their individual talent and Greece not being able to score. Cuadrado can be a sub or Ibarbo gets sacrificed for the 3rd CM.

I suppose Chelsea could do a 2nd medical examination on him once he's done with the WC just to be sure (if it helps to see his condition before and after). Otherwise, I still have no problem with him being Chelsea's striker next season. Hopefully he stops the headbutts and various dirty stuff soon.

I need to watch him more to have an opinion. His passing was very nice yesterday, but those passes don't always come off like that, esp. that one-touch lob to Robben. Highly unlikely that vanGaal passes up Blind at United. He is Dutch Footballer of the Year 2014.

I highly rate this guy. A gem ready to shine at a higher level, one can hope. Definitely looked one of the most dangerous players in the Euro 2012 Ibarbo, Cuadrado and Yarmolenko are forwards on my shortlist.

good to see Luiz was officially announced a PSG player today. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/27545046 maybe we get the Costa announcement soon.

the absurdity of a community-made web forum being forced to examine every single image that users might post, have posted and (perhaps) in what context the images are used. Is there not a way to have this site designated as strictly non-commercial (as the other fellow suggest, a charity classification or something similar) in legal terms?

I need a few London Porters from Fuller's. damn blaugrana.

I thought some players would signed before the WC, but maybe everything is on-hold until afterward. We can only hope that agreements will become contracts for now, it seems.

Do the Spanish do anything before 10hrs other than el mercado, breakfast and bowel movements? I suppose we'll be waiting at least 4 more hours.

They should spend 66 million and lower their ticket prices.

Rakitic is perfect on FKs and corners. It might be that Rakitic and Baines are the two best going into this World Cup... although Pirlo will likely get plenty of time on the pitch too. Would be nice to have someone to take FKs like a boss. Is Fabregas consistently good for this? I don't remember his balls curling and dipping like the three I mentioned above.

True, but we're hungry and the days are goin' by so slooooooooooow. ;D

waiting on a hamstring

Oscar MIGHT not have everything that Cesc has, but Oscar also arrived into an unbalanced Chelsea squad less than two years ago and Chelsea are still unbalanced and passing too slow as a team. Agree that we need more drive, skill and creation from center midfield though. I think CFC need more than Cesc; someone else who is physically imposing but better in transition and building an attack than what we have.

the Lord Bolton bastard sack of sh--e. happy to see that character get impaled.
