His goal was the best news we've had today was the goal of Diego. I hope that Costa recover the same mentality with which Diego began the season. I am sure that this goal will allow Costa to be much safer himself. I'm happy for Diego.

I reiterate what I said for the match against West Ham United. Now all we have to think only in the next match against Southampton on Sunday 28 December 28. The philosophy of the Match by match will take us to The Quadruple. Sunday 28 December. Southamton vs Chelsea. Match by Match.

Thanks OhForAGreavsie! From now on I will use the word roof for this question (I did not know exactly what was the word most appropriate). I had read that we had had problems with the attitude of the local council and the residents on the reforms of the bridge but I did not think to issues such as performing concerts or events in our field to improve our economy they might hinder us. I've also read that when we thought to move to Battersea Power Station they put us back many problems. I think it is unfair for a club like ours with over 100 years of history deal. I know my opinion is very distorted because I do not live in London and I don´t know well the London culture because I've only been to London several times on vacation, and I respect it too much if this is part of London's culture, but I think it would be nice if they would let us continue to grow as a team. (I will apologize in advance if anyone could feel offended by my would remark, it is not my intention to offend anyone). I think it's interesting comment on the issue of the roof because it could provide many benefits in economic and sports terms. On the issue of FFP I just do not understand what is required from UEFA, but if it bothers me to see how other teams get great players and they are not afraid FFP. It is quite unfair. Regards.

Terry is a legend. Is incredible but with the passage time increasingly John plays better and better. I begin to think that John Terry can become the Paolo Maldini for Chelsea. He has a special mindset and never shows signs of physical fatigue. I think John will be many years with us. Having players like Terry makes us a team of football legend. Thanks CAPTAIN

Today we put the team that was predictable. It is true that we could have put us Filipe Luis (who is playing at an acceptable level) or Zouma but it is also true that we played 4 games in 11 days and tie or lose today would suppose play both left with a lot of pressure. I think it is the best team we can put on the pitch and get sure win the game. Hopefully we mark the first goal in the first minutes so we can play much more comfortable.

We have a real problem with long distance shots and plays from the touch line. We signed Diego Costa and he perfect for play on a team coached by Mourinho when spaces are generated. So at the beginning of the season Costa scored so many goals. However, since we played against Manchester United and Van Gaal put to Mata to make an aggressive marking to Fabregas becoming his shadow then began our problems. From that day our rivals put their players in the box only to defend and they try to suffocate Fabregas and there begin our problems because we have less space for Diego Costa and less mobility for Fabregas. The option of opting for long distance shots can be good. Sometimes we abuse of possession in excess and we should try that possibility. In fact Matic try shot many times whit long distance shots against Sunderland and Newcastle I think for Jose´s indications. I think Matic could be that player, meets the requirements to get goals from long distance. He has a great shot. The other big problem we have is that if we did not score quickly we become obsessed by the game of touch and possession. That's good because we have great players with great quality, but also we should use the plays from the touch line and bottom line in certain plays sporadically. When we do that with Ivanovic (for example) we create plays with too much danger and can give us goals in situations with short/adjusted results. Having a Left winger at times it would help us a lot.

Mourinho's commands, we followed him.

and...

Today will be a very important day to get The Quadruple. From now until end of season we just have to think only of the next game. We need to internalize this philosophy. Match by Match.

Yes, but I think Mourinho could get something as important as what did Alex Ferguson when I pass in Premier Leagues (20) won respect to Liverpool (18). When Ferguson arrived at Manchester United they had only 8 Premier Leagues, and Ferguson won 12 after. Mourinho has 2, and I'm sure that eventually Jose can get more than 12 of which have won Ferguson. Of course no one doubts that now Chelsea are the best team in England. By the way, before I commented that with the money to sign Messi we could sign players like Reus or Bale, but I can not believe they wanted to come to our team to be on the reserve bench.

I think there is a very important thing we should think when we try to sign Messi for our team. There are certain signings throughout the history of football that have changed the course of big clubs. And Messi, who only has 27 years, could change our history. He is not only a good player like Reus or Bale, Messi is the best player ever, and take this opportunity could make the Chelsea one of the best teams in football history. Alfredo Di Stefano arrived at Real Madrid when he was 27 years old. The Real Madrid before the arrival of Di Stefano was not a big team. In fact they took almost 20 years without winning the Spanish League. After reaching Alfredo Di Stefano, Real Madrid won five European Cups, above all thanks to Di Stefano. Also won eight Spanish league in 10 years, in addition to many other trophies. But the most important is how the signing of Di Stefano change the history of Real Madrid is the basis of what is probably the best team in football history. There are many other examples of players who changed the history of their teams with his signing, as happened with Johan Cruyff (When he was 26 years old) and his move to Barcelona which happened to be an important team in Spain to be an important team in Europe. Another example would be the arrival of Maradona to Napoles, where he won League Cup and UEFA Cup. More examples, Ronaldinho, Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo (when he was signed by Real Madrid). If we look at the great work that are doing Jose Mourinho at Chelsea and his mentality, we think that Jose is attempting to become the new Sir Alex Ferguson of our team and I'm sure that he can be many years on the bench to make his career and Chelsea to a great legend. This legend could be much larger if we signed Messi. Jose is only 51 years old and Sir Alex Ferguson came to Manchester United with 45 years (although Mourinho has already four seasons as our coach). If we add the Mourinho´s intelligence complemented by a signing like Messi we can begin to talk about a convinacion that can change the history of our team and when he retires as coach Mourinho could leave Chelsea as the best team in the history of England and as one of the best in the history of football. I am sure that Messi would help that change. I know thay we cant spend the money needed to sign Messi to sign several players like Reus, Ross Barkley, Bale ... The question we have to ask is whether those players would improve our team to become us a legend or is better to invest that money in probably the best player in the history of football. We already have great players like Hazard or Fabregas on our team. Messi could change our history.

It is true. It can be dangerous for us to focus on a planning team players only focus on The Academy or young boys. But players like Courtois we have to set an example for young players policy. We signed Courtois when he was 19 years old and after three years on loan at Atletico de Madrid we have recovered to our team the best goalkeeper in the world. Matic was signed when he was 21, he was loaned to Vittese and then became part of signing David Luiz until we recover him in 2014 and now is the best midfielder in the world (a total player). Both Courtois as Matic are our future and continue with a similar policy has to be the way. Currently it is very difficult for a child get the Chelsea first team and play regularly every game because Chelsea is one of the best teams in the world and only TOP players who have the necessary quality and winning mentality will be able to go out and play in the first team (I think Ruben Loftus-Cheek has these features). But while we can continue with the same policy that has made players like Courtois or other players TOP Matic for our team. If all the good young players we have in 3 years we have gotten three other young players start playing every game on our team as has happened with Courtois and Matic I think our policy with young players will have been a resounding success. If we demand that young people play immediately in the first team that pressure could sink his career. Go step is best for young players.

I leave for all 6 images so you can see different examples of football stadiums that have covered and can serve for the new Standford Bridge. I do not know exactly what word to use properly to explain-I am not English and I do not know that words used in England when I speak of cover. Other word can be ceiling. I hope you may understand me. As you see in the images are stadiums with retractable roof with a transparent structure that allows light between 100% to reach the grass. The cover can be put on and off according to our needs, being discovered when does a sunny day and also cover when raining. Besides this new cover allows air conditioning at the stadium which benefits the fans and players who'd be more protected in days of very cold or very hot days. The benefits in economic terms is that we could use the stadium to host concert (as in stadiums like Santiago Bernabeu for example) during the summer months when no competition is not playing. Last summer, The Rolling Stones or Bruce Springsteen made his concert at the Santiago Bernabeu and such events generate much money we could help us with the Financial Fair Play. I hope your comments.

I totally agree with you. We would not have to pay his move only next year, we can pay in several installments. Also sponsors like ADIDAS, TURKISH AIRLINES, FIFA (the game), agreements to play preseason games in United States are better in economics terms if in our team play Messi and Chelsea would enter the China market where Messi is the greatest football icon and moves millions which would increase our profits in China. I think a signing like Messi would not be a problem in economic terms because it pays practically thank the sponsors. Problem is when we signed Torres for an impossible amount to recover. But Messi would generate more money and we could dodge Financial Fair Play. About words of Jose, he can´t say that he wants his signing in the middle of the season. He says we can not sign him by the Financial Fair Play, but Mourinho used very good adjectives to define Messi. Also did the same when Messi was much criticized for his participation in the World Cup. Only Mourinho defended Messi. When Jose was at Real Madrid and the journalists asked for Messi always Mourinho criticized him to defend Cristiano Ronaldo. But now Jose has changed his address and only speaks well of Messi.

Totally agree. Ruben has to stay at The Academy and training every days whith Mourinho at the the first team every day. He has a maturity that seems incredible that only has 18 years. He is maybe he the best star proyect that we have now in The Academy. Jose sure he know how to take care to him and little by little Ruben Loftus-Cheek will be a top player.

We know something new about of the future of Stamford Bridge ?. This ruled out the option of switching to Battersea Power Station?. Large europes teams like Real Madrid, Bayern ... are making or have made changes in their stadiums to improve their fields, have more seats for fans and especially putting malls to enhance its economy through advertising. I think an improvement could help us become a reference team in the world in the coming years. I'm not from London but I've been there several times and have seen our stadium and I saw that on the same block are other buildings and I had read that Chelsea was trying to buy these buildings to expand the stadium. It´s true? I also think putting a cover on would improve stadium (no offense to anyone with this comment) quality of our lawn because London is a city where it rains a lot (I love London and the London weather) and a teams like ours when it's raining play worse and facilitates plays the game for the small teams that rain. I just wanted to ask how are the plans for the reform of Stamford Bridge and I think it would be nice we talked about proposals for improvement the Bridge. I propose to put a deck stadium to ensure that our lawn is in perfect condition (I know that in England many matches are played in the rain - I apologize for all the people that could be offended with my comment-). I'm sure that the atmosphere would be much more exciting.

I do not know if Mohamed Salah is a Chelsea player level because practically has not played with us since he arrived but I think we need a pure Left winger for games that raised us both Sunderland and Newcastle. In such games need players who can get to the bottom of the pitch as it does when Ivanovic generates many dangerous situations in our favor. I do not know if the solution is Salah or sign another player on the market in January, but we could also try to put Filipe Luis as left back, Azpilicuela as right back and Ivanovic as false left winger in certain games. It would have an even stronger defensive unit and would allow Ivanovic get to attack more freely. I do not know what may be the solution, but we need someone to unclog the matches not only attacking way up the middle because when we strike way up the middle we get stuck. We need to find more solutions.

This year we have team to win The Quadruple we have the mentality and maturity we needed to get into the history of football. But to win The Quadruple we must have patience, serenity, tranquility, coherence, consistence and especially perseverance. We have to believe in these words as philosophy to win The Quadruple. So the best way is to go Step by step, match by match. We have to have the philosophy of the game by game to win The Quadruple. It is the only way to to get our objective, think only of the next match and go with the mentality of win, win, win and win again and win, win, win and win again. That is football, that has to be our mentality. So in our heads our only goal should be the party of December 26 against West Ham United. The philosophy of the Match to match will take us to The Quadruple. Win, win, win and win again and win, win, win and win again. That is football, that has to be our mentality. Match to match. Come on Chelsea! GO BLUES!. Match to Match.

I was very impressed with the debut of Ruben Loftus-Cheek last Wednesday December 10 in the match against Sporting Lisbon at home. I have not seen many players who in his debut in the first team and they play with so much personality, intelligence and maturity as did Ruben Loftus-Cheek. I know it was only a few minutes (I think Jose was very intelligent making him debut in a situation without pressure) but I think if we take care of Ruben Loftus-Cheek we can have a player for many years. And I've seen in summaries at the Academy and I am totally convinced that their performance is like a player with a secure future. He reminded me in actiud of Raphael Varane in Real Madrid. Hopefully it in the future like Varane. I've time thinking about the great players we have in the Academy, and that we have on loan, and players like Zouma. I do not know exactly how are the relationships between Chelsea and Middlesbrough and English culture relative to loan players, but I think it would be important to have an agreement of cooperation with Middlesbrough if they get up to Premier League this year. His coach is Aitor Karanka and he was the assistant of Jose in Real Madrid and learned much from Jose as in his day he did with Sir Bobby Robson in Barcelona. Karanka often said that apply to their workouts and their team dynamics he learned from Mourinho. I think it would be important for our young players get a collaboration with Middlesbrough for the loan of young players so they can have minutes in the Premier League with a coach who has a similar philosophy to that of Jose Mourinho. Moreover, Jose could meet its progression from first hand thanks to its good relationship with Aitor Karanka. In fact we have on loan to Kenneth Omeruo, Jamal Blackman and Patrick Bamford in Middelesbrough. I know this topic is about Ruben Loftus-Cheek and that still only 18 years old so I think he should continue in the Academy and training with Mourinho at least two years more to learn more, but I think it would be interesting to consider this option for our young players like Zouma (for example) that has great quality but hardly going to play regularly in the first team now mainly because Chelsea is in an incredible level now. Also Middlesbrough is not a direct rival for the title, so there would suppose a risk for us. I hope your comments. I believe this agreement could be very good for Chelsea.

In Monday's game we play with Mikel - Fabregas - Matic. I think Fabregas played in a similar position to that of Pirlo in Juventus, where they play Vidal - Pirlo - Pogba. Put two defensive midfielders (although Matic is a total player) and Mikel and Matic can help to Fabregas to move more freely in the field and can go up and down (box to box) without much pressure. This does not remove Oscar because Oscar has worked hard to improve defensively and could take the place of William in certain games. The usual equipment is Matic - Fabregas - Oscar and Hazard - Costa - William, but the option to put Mikel can help to get Fabregas play with more freedom in the pitch for complicated games off the bridge. I think so ....

I do not understand as the Financial Fair Play works. It seems to be that if you chip players worth 135 million (for example) you have to sell players in your team for 135 million to be balanced in the economic figures. But I remember when Real Madrid won in 2009 to sign Cristiano Ronaldo for £ 74 million (€ 94 million) and only with the participation of Ronaldo in World Cup 2010 Real Madrid won £ 78.5 million (100 million € ) in advertising (said by the president of Real Madrid). If fichasemos Messi for £ 150/200/250 million I'm sure we would recover the amount spent on advertising and our economic figures they would be balanced at the end year without UEFA can punish us as PSG or City. I think it's very ambiguous theme of Financial Fair Play and do not quite understand what it means exactly.

Totally agree. Messi is not old, the problem is that FC Barcelona has completed its cycle and now any of their players seem horrible but "worst" Messi has scored 58 goals in 2014 and "the best" Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 60 goals in 2014. If Messi played in a team like Chelsea had served his 58 goals sure to get titles. I think the problem is Barcelona, not Messi.

I know it seems impossible ... but here in Spain Catalonia journalists increasingly more insist that Lionel Messi wants to leave Barcelona and Fabregas is doing everything possible to convince Messi (actually criticize him a lot for that). It's true what you say of the Financial Fair Play and what Jose said recently, but if we signed Messi we can pay the transfer with the help of Adidas, Turkish Airlines and the rest of merchandising. If we finance the signing with that maybe we could dodge the Financial Fair Play. And a question that I suggest everyone to that we discuss. What if we signed Messi we could be at the beginning of a great change in the history of Chelsea like the day that Di Stefano came to Real Madrid or the arrival of Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United ?. I think so. Mourinho and Messi in the same team with the team we have now could be something historic. It is worth to make every effort we can to get it. Regards to all.

Hello everyone, I'm new here so this this is my first message. I greet you all. I'm not from England but hopefully I can make myself understood in English. Forgive me for this first so long text, but I think it may be important to discuss the future of Messi. The theme of Messi signing for next season for Chelsea increasingly seems more possible every day that passes and I think it may be the beginning of a change signing Chelsea's history and in its day was the arrival of Jose Mourinho to our team. There are many things that make me believe that this move may end up doing is definitely. 1. Chelsea is sponsored by ADIDAS and TURKISH AIRLINES for next year. Messi is the main icon of both brands. Last year into his first commercial for Turkish Airlines with Kobe Bryant but this year it has done with our legend Didier Drogba, a major change. Adidas Messi needs to take each week a shirt with his logo and Chelsea is with Real Madrid (Messi never would go to Madrid) and Bayern (Messi not just anything right with Guardiola in Spain) one of its most important football teams. Both have many reasons to be very interested in seeing this happen and could finance part of signing for Chelsea avoid Fair Play Financier. (Eden Hazard also just made a commercial for Fifa 15). 2. Cesc Fabregas is the best friend of Messi since he arrived when he was a child to La Masia (The Academy of Barcelona) and have always been very close, Messi being the player who most insisted on signing Fabregas at Barcelona. Besides women Messi (Antonella Roccuzzo) and Fabregas (Daniella Semaan) are intimate friends, in fact, in the previous pated national team Messi woman spent two weeks at home with his son and declare on social networks in love London and she missed her friend Daniella Semaan. The press of Argentina said that Messi would be happy to go and live in London and wanted his son to be educated in London. 3. Now Messi lives a totally different situation in Spain. He has had problems paying taxes and Spain said the real culprit of the situation was his father who was who was in charge of economic subject. Here there is Messi is disappointed with his father and that his wife prefers to stay away from his father so this has. Messi may end by going to legal judgment (NEVER to jail) for not paying their taxes, which would damage its image tremendously which is where the most money gets, so leave Spain would avoid the harassment suffered since it emerged that could end up having to go to a legal trial. All will know the situation of Spain and the issue of Catalonia and many people believe that since the classical Spain are attacking Messi to attack Catalonia with this item and the people around Messi says he also believes it. Messi has already paid all money owed and a fine of many millions of euros but the investigation continues although other football players like Casillas, Sergio Ramos and Xabi Alonso had to pay back taxes had not been paid and when finished her story justice is over. With Messi it was not so. 4. Current situation of Barcelona is painful, with a coach who tries to imitate Guardiola but every idea that comes to mind is worse than the previous one (he has made a different team every game, he has never repeated team) and Barcelona is in decline, unable to sign and getting worse in the league. In Barcelona is tradition that the big players (Maradona, Ronaldo Nazarario, Ronaldinho ...) go mad and the public forgetting what they did for Barcelona. In fact, Messi said he did not want a repeat of what happened with Ronaldinho (it was booed by his own fans). Messi has been booed at the Camp Nou when his team started to go wrong ... 5. Jose Mourinho. I think that is the most important part of the puzzle. If a coach in the world capable of recovering great players that is our coach. He did it with Sneijder at Inter and now with Fabregas at Chelsea. He might again make Messi the best player in the world. Fabregas will talk about Mourinho as his career has got to change. I Hope you find interesting. Regards.
