I doubt Moutinho would prefer Tottenham over us! We can offer him CL football, the opportunity to actually challenge for trophies and of course more money!

I think this one is all but over now! he is surely Madrid bound! We just have to sign Moutinho now before its too late!

anyone know if Ramires is back in training? i dont think i have seen him yet!

Not 100% but i think these will be the kick off times in the UK for the US tour. Chelsea v Seattle Sounders - 2.30am Chelsea v Paris St Germain - 12 Midnight Chelsea v MLS All-Stars - 1.30am Chelsea v AC Milan - 11pm

probably neither of them will really be 2nd choice! we have so many games to play next season, there will be so much rotating, so both could end up playing a similar amount of games.

for me Carvalho is the best defender in Premier League history!

Modric will take the number 14 shirt of De Bruyne also.

That's what I'm thinking! They probably want to force him to see out his contract in the hope that Arsenal have an amazing season and thus convince RVP to stay! Its a risk and a pretty stupid one if they do it!

My word! Are you serious??? Ever since Cahill signed he has been 3rd choice behind Luiz and Terry! Its not about predicting the line up its more to do with knowing my team!!! You can think all you want that Cahill and Terry will be first choice but the truth is Luiz is ahead of Cahill in the pecking order whether you like it or not! Cahill is class and will get plenty of games as JT is getting on a bit! But when everyone of fully fit you can almost guarantee Luiz and Terry will start!

Arsenal Football Club has issued the following statement with regard to Robin van Persie's future: "

We have to respect Robin's decision not to renew his contract. Robin has one year to run on his current contract and we are confident that he will fulfil his commitments to the Club. "We are planning with ambition and confidence for next season with Arsenal's best interests in mind."

why are you taking the term 'back up' so literal? Cahill is 3rd choice CB! which means when Terry and Luiz are both fully fit they will play ahead of Cahill. Simple.

Remember this quote from RVP! I think that is where my hatred of RVP started!

the reason why he hasn't been so prolific in the past is because he played as a number 10! ever since Arsenal played him as the main striker he hasn't stopped scoring! He is class! and would make Juventus/Man City serious serious contenders in the CL.

Really? There is nothing special about Arsenal's midfield RVP is just a quality striker.

he ended the 10/11 season with 22 goals in 26 games. Last season clearly wasn't a one off.

that would be the ideal situation RVP to Juve.

If he goes City .....Nasri........Aguero........Silva.... .......................RVP.................... If he goes Madrid ....Ozil...........RVP...........Ronaldo... .................Benzema........................ Scary stuff.

he isn't due back until 22nd i think.

If we were to sign him where would he play? Number 10? I doubt we would play him infront of Torres! so maybe .......Mata............RVP...........Hazard.......... ..........................Torres........................ im not gonna lie but that is just mouth-watering! shame it will never happen!

I dont like the guy and he doesn't like Chelsea! we would never sign him!

Mata, Luiz, Sturridge, Bertrand, Romeu + all the players from the Euros will be coming back late.

Biggest game of the season! absolute must win game! This game could make or break our season! COME ON CHELSEA!!!

i wouldn't expect any other response from Robbie than that. He doesn't like to give anything away. Such a clam, cool guy.

yeah just read that. That could be with the reserves though, i doubt they start today as the Press Conference is at 11am.

Pre-Season training starts tomorrow, i just saw it on SSN, and there is press conference today. Probably only Frank will come in today to train because that the kind of guy he is!
