If what Mourinho is supposedly meant to have said is true, then I wouldn't be surprised if Salah isn't even in the squad for Sunday.

I think Dortmund would personally prefer the cash. They seem to be good at getting promising talent for a reasonable price, but they do let a few good players go every so often. Reus being the prime example.

According to rumours, he has signed a deal with Barca. The fee is around €25m.

Some more than others.

I personally wasn't aware of that, but a three strike set up is too lenient either way IMO.

FFP hasn't come out of nowhere, clubs have been warned about it for a while. I personally think the procedure UEFA have currently followed is too lenient IMO. If FFP was just announced, I would say this punishment would suffice, but that isn't the case. It relation to Chelsea, we are trying to follow FFP, by selling players, and go far in European Competitions. I think the Chelsea board are making sure they don't fall foul of FFP.

I still find that pointless. If they want to make a statement about FFP, ban clubs. That is the only way clubs will stay in line. A fine isn't a big deal for major clubs.

I understand what you are saying mate, but UEFA said clubs found guilty would be suspended from European Competitions. That clearly isn't the case, looking at City.

Exactly. They need to make a statement against a big club. Malaga were banned last year for financial problems, but they are a small club. UEFA are scared to punish one of the powerhouses, and until they do; FFP will be a waste of time!

I totally agree. What is £50m to Man City?! Looks like the 'being banned from European competitions' line, is a load of tripe. No surprise knowing UEFA.

If we could get any CF, I would prefer Aguero. It really is unbelievable how many World Class CF's we have been so close to signing, but not going the extra mile to get them. Him, Falaco, etc. I have mixed feelings about Costa.

Tell me about it. I hope it doesn't come down to yesterday.

I personally hope Man City win their next two games. I don't want yesterday's result to become any worse.

Isn't he on his way to Leverkusen already?

Kl. I haven't been down Jose's throat at all, despite recent results. We need to shape up next season, and deliver on the pitch. No more excuses next season.

I ain't blaming Jose for everything, but just stating the facts. Also, RM drew to one of the EL semifinalists & and not to a team who is all but relegated. The bottom line is, EVERYONE has to take part of the blame. We are a team!

If this is true, then Mou is stepping over the mark. There are a list of players more deserving of that statement.

Our line up at home could have been more attacking. Why have two DMF's at home against Norwich?! We were the home team, and we should be taking the initiative.

I personally believe there isn't a better manager out there, but he needs to expand his gameplay. Defensive tactics can only take you so far. They have almost no use in games like today.

I think his playing days at Chelsea are coming to an end sadly, but I am sure he will still be part of the club in a coaching capacity.

This type of behaviour could easily costs us matches should he join us.

We should give players that haven't had much game time a run out.

By far, the worst Chelsea performance this season.

Same old story. Season over!

We need to try and bounce back from recent home defeats. Also, the title is still a possibility. Look at Barca last night. ANYTHING can happen from now till next week.
