Van Aanholt is not a centre back.

Oh just for anyone wanting to see that Aston Villa reserve game and see Ross Turnbull in his fully glory again:

To be fair I've seen a few of highlights from his games at zapresic and I've seen him in U19 Euros that have just gone and he inspires more confidence as a goalkeeper than Ross Turnbull does for me? I've seen about the same amount from both of them and I think Turnbull is a worse goalkeeper. Simple.

I'm saying I've seen Turnbull make what could be considered as 5-7 mistakes in one and a half games and in his other games has he ever looked like a top class keeper? For Middlesbrough not really either, Chelsea 5 - 0 Middlesbrough do we remember that? Yeah Turnbull was in goal. Conceded two against APOEL, then played in goal against West Ham and Inter Milan hardly inspired in either game there. I just don't think he's got any kind of place even being third choice, the only good thing is he's homegrown -- other than that he's a mid-table/lower-end goalkeeper, I honestly think Delac is a more accomplished goalkeeper and would feel better having a 17 year old kid in goal than Turnbull.

To be fair esk you should know of all people Turnbull had that absolute shocker against Villa reserves last season too! It's not a one off.

Delac can come to us now if we want. I think so anyway. And he is streets ahead of Turnbull.

I've gone off the Torres idea, would rather take Neymar and Aguero.

I couldn't give less of a shit about Carvalho if I tried.

This will not happen this summer! So lets all forget about it for another year.

It's over.

To be fair if we offered 20 mil it doesn't matter how much they don't want to open negotiations because for 28.4 we'll activate his release clause and they'll have no choice in the matter.

From twitter the other day; "JBruma Hi every1, havent heard of anything bout me going out on loan,, they are just rumours. see it as a positiv thing... bless"

Massively Ribery! So overrated.

Essien will start and play 45-60 minutes if you didn't already know. Nothing more on it. Looks like we'll find out tomorrow.

Shocking right?! Haha, just about to watch blues news, might be a team update. Will post if so.

I think it was Ballack wasn't it? I think it went JT Lamps Ballack, tomorrow it'll be essien or mikel I imagine, perhaps Alex. Maybe cech I don't know though.

Kakuta and Bosingwa definitely won't play, Kakuta has a game in the u-19 euros the day after and bosingwa is still in light training.

Ey your Southampton Uni boys! Same here! You know what that was actually really good, I watched it all and it's one of the better comedies I've seen recently. Obviously it doesn't shy away from its influences (the office much?) but it was really funny and exactly the kind of humour I like, dry and british. A true credit to Southampton uni lads! Well done! Hopefully will see more in the future?

Now we just have to wait for the third kit, I like both of these kits, bought my home shirt ready for saturday! good times!

I've decided to assume we're signing no-one until we confirm someone has been signed. Lifes easier this way!

It's okay. Nothing mind blowing really.

L.u.k.a.k.u.

Right like I was pretty pissed off that we were going to sign Benayoun because it just sounds like a bullshit signing when you first hear about it but ITS HAPPENED. We may as well all get over and stop bitching and moaning, he's a Chelsea boy now and he obviously isn't going to be starting 11 and he knows and accepts that so if he puts on his shirt and he comes on and gives his all and does what he can do however much or little he does it then fair play to the lad, he's a nice guy and a decent if not spectacular player, us all whining about him isn't going to help him nor help anything; if he puts on the shirt and plays for it then I'd prefer that by a million times than people like adebayor and tevez and silva and toure pulling on a shirt and playing for the money. Also it's just a fucking number, makes him no better or worse as a player and that's what matters. Seriously we need to cut out the crying and moaning, it's pointless, lets all just support him and hopes he does his best as a CHELSEA PLAYER not as whatever else you might think of him as or whatever preconceptions you've got about him.

I'm convinced there's a pic somewhere on the net either leaked or hidden in website code.

Yeah it's not real.
