Something must be going on behind the scenes!

I don't think so. He was one of the star players for Basel in Europe two seasons in a row, then fight to avoid relegation. Pointless career choice IMO.What good did that do for Assaidi? He did reasonably well at Stoke, but it hasn't improved his chances at Liverpool at all. A loan move is good for players trying to make a name for themselves. He has already made one, and that is why Chelsea bought him.

I agree. I personally believe he needs to play consecutive matches to get up to the speed of Prem. He got that to an extent at the end of last season, but mainly because of the CL challenge and him being cup tied.I know he has what it takes to succeed here, but he needs to be given a chance to show what he can do.

I did read it, but I am making my points. I personally think you are writing him off too easily, but each to their own.

1) I take both into consideration. You judge a player on the whole, and not just at club level. 2) You can't judge a player from one match. 3) Until he starts a game this season for us, we will never know how much he has improved, if at all.

He can finish aswell. Look at his record for the Egyptian NT.

He's a good player. That's why!

I presume we will be playing with the same lineup tomorrow. Let's hope our first home game of the season goes to plan.

EXCLUSIVE: Mario is having his medical with Liverpool right now!

I think him going to Sunderland would be pointless. I hope it is just a rumour.

AC Milan Consider Fernando Torres As Plan B To Replace Liverpool Bound Mario Balotelli. Please let the Martinez deal fall through! http://www.insidefutbol.com/2014/08/21/ac-milan-consider-fernando-torres-as-plan-b-to-replace-liverpool-bound-mario-balotelli/156175/

The question we have all been dying to ask Jamie Carragher has been put to him. https://vine.co/v/MLWYzuPZ5UB [emoji23]

At this rate, he will be retiring at Chelsea.

Can't believe he actually did it.

He hasn't been FIT for starters.

Chelsea-Man Utd Combined XI: Courtois; Azpi, Cahill, Terry, Luis; Fabregas, Matic, Oscar; Schurrle, Hazard; Costa. XD

Didn't notice that. It's probably tripe then!

Ok. I just saw the rumour, and was surprised. It would make sense that we are after him as he is a DMF.

It came from, A Bola.

The rumoured price tag is a worry for me though.

BREAKING: Abou Diaby does the ice bucket challenge. [emoji23]

Chelsea are set to trump Premier League rivals Arsenal with a £35m bid for Sporting Lisbon's 22-year-old midfielder William Carvalho. Where on earth has this come from?!

He played well tonight in the first half.

Utd at this time aren't a top top club.
