Mikel Mikel , should've never showed him the inside . Cech just went WTF at him.

" Drogba is the best striker in the world " . Talk about being humble , to say that as a competitive sportsman, its something else . Despite all the rivalry we've had with Pool and him being a constant thorn like Tevez is for us , it was so easy to see that he was really pleased to be here , making the move to a bigger club , the kind of move every player wants in his own words . For the longest time this signing didn't seem likely , for various reasons including thinking that our big spending days are long gone . I'll be the first to admit that as any fan of football , its easy to see the quality of player he is , clearly on another level when he's on song . Never thought this was going to happen , was clearly enjoying the meltdown in RAWK and that's all I thought it would amount to . Was a fantastic day for Chelsea Football Club , a world-class CF and an up and coming defender whom Jose himself was at one point chasing . Torres has already endeared himself , that face and modesty will probably recuperate all that dough by selling shirts and merchandise , all over the world . Club profile compounded , stating our intent in getting the best talent in the world and an owner that's as committed as ever . Fantastic stuff .

Was in denial for the longest time . Now I can't fathom it , still hasn't sunk in . This is a monumental signing . Big props to the board , Gourlay and of course our passionate sugar-daddy Roman . The man just shifted two gears here with the club.

Bruck Buck arrives at the Bridge . This is going to be one big red tie affair on ChelseaTV with balloons all over the place . EXCLUSIVE @ 10 !

Transfer special tonight on ChelseaTV : http://www.chelseafc.com/page/Chelsea_TV_Details/0,,10268~2281259,00.html Wonder what they're harping about.

jasonburt_tele Jason Burt David Luiz now desperately trying to fly from Portugal to London in time to sign for Chelsea... Foly Huck . They just had to leave it till the last day till the last few hours to the possibly the last flight .

YESS ! Being confirmed on SSN as well , its all coming together .

David Luiz at Chelsea for 20 million ByNewsroom Chelsea have secured the signing of David Luiz. It was an overnight operation of the blues and England central defender for 23 years is already preparing to travel to London. The Brazilian central defender will arrive tonight to England to meet a new phase of his career. The agreement was reached this afternoon in a transfer that will yield to the religious community of the Light 20 million, a cash payment, payable over five million in 2013. The transfer also includes Nemanja Matic, the Chelsea central defender, who will be seconded by the blues but, however, should only come to light next season. Waiting for some kind of confirmation from a reputable source . Here's more buzz ": http://twitter.com/#!/portugoaldotnet : Benfica try to outdo city rivals Sporting in the "letting go of an icon" stakes. I'm not venturing into the Lisbon streets tonight http://twitter.com/#!/jasonburt_tele ( Daily Telegraph Journo ) : http://forum.talkchelsea.net/index.php?app=forums&module=post&section=post&do=reply_post&f=8&t=5156&qpid=173146

Guillem : Torres to Chelsea deal almost done. Player waiting to get permission from Lpol to travel to London to pass medical

Dan Roan @danroan London, UK Sports News Correspondent, BBC News Reliably informed that talks on image rights and salary (approx 175k/week) are all that remains forTorres deal to be completed http://twitter.com/#!/danroan

This guy' claims : BREAKING NEWS there will be some big news regarding Fernando Torres coming from both #LFC and #CFC at around 7pm or 8pm GMT! http://twitter.com/Vredesbyrd

For someone with so much skill and talent , Anelka sure is infuriating at times . Should've slotted the through ball from Ramires in .

No arguments there , he's nowhere near putting the kind of shift needed for a wing-back with the way we play in our system . Wouldn't be surprised if Bane started at RB if Alex was fit in the middle , his runs are positive and always with purpose . Bosingwa , has been a bit of a headless chicken running forward lately .

Just stating as an example that when it comes to holding the fort at the back , against the very best , he's no slouch . Besides, he's barely played much for the next two seasons since.

Bos seems like he's lost his bearings a little since coming back from injury , moreso at the back . Not to forget though , he is quality when he is on song , injuries did him in . Remember he kept Messi at bay all night at the Nou Camp when Cole was out suspended , played at LB and was astounding that night . Defensive masterclass , along with the rest of the backline .

That's that then . http://web3.cmvm.pt/sdi2004/emitentes/docs/FR31601.pdf 'PRESS RELEASE The Sport Lisboa e Benfica - Futebol, SAD, in compliance with Article 248 of the Code Securities, reports that reached no agreement with Chelsea Football Club for transfer of sporting and economic rights of the athlete David Luiz Moreira Marinho lying this time the negotiation process ended. The Board of Directors 28 January 201'

First time I actually believe this bid wasn't all smoke . http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-news/torres-is-not-for-sale WTF is the club doing waiting till the final 3 days of the transfer window ? Did Roman just get back from his island to the mainland to see the board lazing around and sanction a massive bid ? There's no way this transfer will go through and I'm willing to bet even the suits involved with transfers know it . Probably just flexing some muscle saying we've still got some in the transfer market .

Radio morons . Switched games just because Chelsea are winning .

DANNNNY ! 2-0 , Sturridge

From a Chelsea news writer , updating the situation real-time on twitter : Ray Wilkins told he was being removed this PM: at half time in a reserve match he was watching with Ancelotti. Both shocked. 1 minute ago via Twitter for BlackBerry® Much of the Ray Wilkins speculation seems to revolve around a contract dispute rather than a major falling-out. #chelsea 17 minutes ago via Twitter for BlackBerry® http://twitter.com/BluesChronicle
