The Skipper

Can see him going to a Newcastle or something. He'd be way behind the pecking order here, and he's better than just being a cover option.

Wow, what a signing.

Glad the Theo love in has ended here.

Weak human being? Based on what? Let's completely forget that Mikel STILL played for us whilst his father got abducted in Nigeria. Weak human being my ass.

More Ribery esque IMO.

Streets ahead? Hyperbole much. He's not at all. IMO if Bertrand was at Southampton he'd probably be their starting left back. Ryan has barely played left back this season.

No one's saying Mikel should be that player though? It's why Modric would exactly fit in nicely next to Mikel. We haven't got a playmaker in the pivot, everyone knows this. Nobody's saying Mikel's meant to be that person either. We need someone next to Mikel to provide those passes from deep, and someone like Modric would fit very nicely. A Modric - Mikel midfield would be awesome IMO.

Jose still has to win the CL with an English side. Please come back and save us Jose...

I don't know if we should buy a shitload of players this January just because the squads thin... People are forgetting that in the summer we're getting a ton of quality players back in the squad. I'd like to see Benayoun get involved with the first team again too.

So, we've won 1 out of 5 home games under Benitez? Brilliant.

Torres is not doing himself any favours.

Is Torres a striker? Bloody hell.

Can we not win at home? 2-0 up, should see the game out. Play it safe. But we left gaps like no tomorrow.

Wow. Brilliant by Shaw.

Unlucky Ba.

Aren't we trying to play it safe though? We should see this result out, Lambert goal could've been prevented IMO.

Clyne's a handful isn't he.

I think it's game over already tbh. Expecting a dull, play it safe second half.

I love the delight Eden shows when he scores. Brilliant volley.

Mata should've really played Ba in for that.

Brilliant Ba. BRILLIANT.

Severely lacking a DEEP LYING PLAYMAKER.

Hopefully he comes back a stronger player. That's all I hope for.

@indykaila: Part 1: Torres advisors have been meeting #ChelseaFC last few days. The player wants out due to personal issues. (Cont) @indykaila: Part 2: Torres has asked #CFC to look for clubs in England and his 1st choice is Liverpool FC. Player willing to take pay cut (cont) @indykaila: Part 3: #CFC are willing to let player in January if they can complete deal for Falcao. This will be Torres last season at #ChelseaFC. Don't know how reliable the source is but he has quite a few followers on twitter. Could it be?!
