IMO, the only thing he did was knock a few good free kicks in to keep us alive in the Champions League. He wasn't great during the course of play.

I don't think he'll ever be a Chelsea player, but I would much rather have him than Willian. Willian has always been nothing more than average. He won POY because he stayed average when everyone else went to shit.

I could be wrong just as easily as you, but the worst I see him is as a serviceable sub off the bench.

If Matic does leave, I can see it being both.

And therein lies the problem. If this was Conte's second summer, we'd have an idea of how we're playing and how players will fit. Right now, we have no clue if players are being brought in as replacements or to fit a new system. It's hard to judge how players will fit, so we're going to have to go on their past performances. That said, to get an idea of how he'll play with a team that keeps the ball more, maybe we'll be able to see how he plays for France.

Move along. Crap rumor like I always thought. German Newspaper Ruhrnachtrichten reports BVB deny the rumors of Aubemeyang's transfer.

It's early. Be patient.

As much as I love Reus, I don't want him at Chelsea. He's got a bad injury record and it would only get worse in the Premier League.

Weird as he just said that he's comfortable in Dortmund and is looking forward to next season. He explained the meetings he had during the Gabon games were with Dortmund to discuss the future of the club in the wake of losing Hummels (and most likely Gundogan). I don't buy it, but DiMarzio are usually reputable. The only thing I can see is if City came in with a massive bid and Dortmund found it hard to say no to that kind of money. Not to mention losing 4 key players (Mhikitarian is also rumored to leave) would be absolutely insane from Dortmund. http://www.fussballtransfers.com/bundesliga/aubameyang-zu-gast-bei-ft_65513

Did he start as a CB and move to DM?

The window isn't even officially open yet. It's not like the club have been completely quiet. There's substantial rumors every week. Use June to continue those talks and get arrangements in place and then sign them when the window opens. The only time we should be worried is if we have no signings halfway through July.

Hector almost scores https://twitter.com/EnglishLeagueBR/status/739584769147670528?s=09

Hector and the Jamaica defense not faring well against Venezuela.

Michael Hector is starting for Jamaica against Venezuela in Copa America.

Nemeth played for my hometown team last season and did really well, but we wouldn't give him the money he wanted so he went off to a Qatari club. I wonder if he'll see any minutes .

I tuned out 5 minutes after tuning in. Both teams just want to get to France.

Just tuned in after the last goal. How is Rüdiger doing?

You can't judge on YouTube videos. You have to watch full matches to see how he does throughout the course of 90 minutes. That said, I haven't seen anything from either.

This "golden generation" will not win anything. I haven't seen anything on the pitch that has made me think that they will.

Every single person in football has a loyalty to himself over a club. It's crazy to think otherwise. This club sacked him and he took a job that everyone knew he's wanted for years. His loyalty is to his employer and he's going to say things to get the club and its supporters behind him. His management style requires that. Chelsea will always mean a lot to him, but all this talk about him owing something to Chelsea and its supporters is nonsense.

Get ready to see it. Chelsea supporters will be watching Conte with a microscope.

No more quarter-final replays for the FA Cup starting in 2017. http://www.thefa.com/news/the-fa-cup/2016/may/quarter-final-sudden-death-replays Not sure if by "sudden death" they mean first goal wins or if it's the regular extra-time and penalties.

I don't think what he said is a hint or anything. It could simply be the truth (look at the way the things our Belgians have said have been interpreted). He spent time at a club where winning titles was expected. A lot of players get this drive throughout their careers.

Yet Diego Costa is the horrible one in football
