Looks like Tiago is all but a done deal then. http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/chelsea-expected-announce-tiago-mendes-signing-next-week-4027931

He has been doing well for Lille, but tonight was evident as to why we let him go.

He needs a six month ban at LEAST IMO. You can't commit the crime THREE times!

Seems like some people are clueless when it comes to players that don't play for Chelsea. LOL!

I am the only one thinking he peaked early at Chelsea. Played quite well when he first came, but he has been slacking this year. I know he has played a lot of games, but he just isn't at it!

£34m for Shaw?! How long will it be till Utd turn into Portsmouth?

He offers something. Mikel doesn't do much at all.

Not sure what you have been watching. They are classes apart IMO.

He is better than Mikel. He had a great season at Sevilla. He won the EL with them, and was one of their star players.

M'Bia would like to work under Mourinho. I wonder if he could be on his way to Chelsea? We wanted him a few seasons back, and his current situation is uncertain.

No doubt he will against the bigger countries. Similar story when he plays for us. Normally turns up for the big occasions.

He lit the match up when he turned up!

He hasn't done anything today. What is people's excuses today? He is still very raw IMO!

Without a doubt! He is still an unknown to most, as he isn't from a big country.

Np mate.

I can only see us getting him if we offer them Lukaku.

Is he part Ivorian aswell?

Suarez going to RM or Barca for £70m.

He is a surprising signing, but not a massive one IMO.

No MASSIVE signings as of yet, but I presume the transfer market will hot up after the WC.

Decent opening game, but it have been better if we were playing at home. This year HAS to be our year!

Fair enough. I just have a feeling Wilmots will shake things up for the next match.

It was hard to tell the difference when he came on. LOL!

He might not make an impact against Russia. Not sure why the way both teams might play comes into consideration. He might play the same as he did today. It all depends on how Wilmots wants to play.
