Good point. We barely sell out Stamford Bridge as it is. It's not like a bigger stadium is the only way to increase revenue (as eldo has pointed out)

Can't blame him. Spain have an abundance of talent up front; Villa, Pedro, Llorente, ect. Eventually Torres will find form & reclaim his place

We should allow the Kalou - Torres partnership another chance. They linked up well together at City, it's a worthwhile risk to allow them another game.

I don't even think we're allowed to move. Pitch Owners own the rights to the Chelsea FC name, if they want, they could keep our name & force us to change it . I'm sure there's a way for Roman to buy the rights back though I think? Not sure on the finer details of it.

Haha, come on here. This is the wrong type of transfers to make! A player who's in his 30's, starting his decline & just another player eating off our wage bill. We got rid of Ballack & co. for a reason

Neymar must be interested by this..

Can't agree with that personally. For me, Zola was the greatest Chelsea player that I've ever seen play. Then comes Terry, then Lampard.

I like it considering it's Adidas.

LOL. If this were to happen, I'd give up on our transfer policy.

David Luiz for me. Made an immediate impact at Fulham, United & City. Yes he's made mistakes, but 95% of his game is positive! It's a shame he's ineligible for the UCL

Personally, imo, I think this is b/s. I think, like Beckham, Lampard will never "retire". He'll realise there's a point where he'll be used less, but he'll still make himself available whenever he can!

Meh. Still a quality striker, just jealous now I guess

Maybe he just didn't take his chances when he was on trial. Nothing we can do about that..

Hey! Welcome

Bertrand & Sturridge start

England u21's playing now! Players featuring for us: Josh McEachran, Jack Cork, Daniel Sturridge & Ryan Bertrand Watch here

I know what you mean & I was hesitant too. But let's be fair, he could easily have asked for a transfer & made a claim for him to "wish to finish" his career elsewhere. The fact he wants to do it with us, shows his underlying love for the club?

No Chelsea can could ever hate Paulo. Definition of "loyal", he's just happy to be at the club, contributing in any way he can. We love you Paulo!

Good lad! I'll see you at Cobham in an hour then!

It'd be between us or ManUnited. They've been tracking him for a few years now apparently.

Aha, it all makes sense! Where's the TalkChelsea advertising though

Personally, I say his vision. He knows how to pick a great pass & he creates good space for himself. He's kind of like Mikel for us. I'm not going to go as far as saying he's underrated, but he is an important player in that Liverpool squad, he's stepped up in that role Xabi Alonso left behind (though obviously Xabi was much better)

Mods please LOCK THIS THREAD won't someone think of the kids?
