Yep. I hope we improve as the season goes on.

We haven't looked very solid at the back today.

In so many words, he said players get pick because of who they are. In other words, Torres, etc.

Cesc's assist was something else!

Exactly. Looks like what Ba said might be true after all.

Quite shocked he ain't even in the sqaud.

The day's here. Let's start the season off with a bang!

Good move for them.

I hope this is the year that he is, the standout player in the Prem. He has the ability, but he needs to show it on a consistent basis.

It's our time turn to set the Prem alight. Let's get a decent win tomo, and end the first week of games on top.

Me too. Cech leaving is becoming more and more likely by the day.

Yep. We shall know soon enough.

I think MVG will stay. I can only see Mikel going, but there is little interest in him ATM.

Moses has gone to Stoke. I don't see Salah leaving. Mikel is the most likely departure.

I hope he ain't going to Utd.

Daily Express.

Benatia by quite a bit.

Roma's sporting director has travelled to London to discuss 27-year-old Mehdi Benatia's potential £30m transfer to Chelsea. I hope it's true!

He's gone to Stoke then. That came out of nowhere, but I guess they got him as the Assaidi deal fell through.

I am not talking about a massive spree, but improvements. If Mourinho could do what he wanted; I am sure he would be after another world class CF, CM, and CB.Cavani, Pogba & Benatia come to mind. Certain players we have in our squad wouldn't have been present in his first spell.

Exactly. I guess the fact he is in the final year of his contract has something to do with it, and his wages will make the overall fee higher aswell.

If the reports are true, and he is available for £8m; we should go all out to get him.

Really looking forward to the start of the season. I am intrigued to see what line up Mourinho will field on Monday.

I guess the extent of his injury still hasn't been announced yet?
