Ah okay! I saw he scored in the previous game too.. Good signs

Drogba's no angel when it comes to a little fight on a pitch.

Good stuff, now let's get Kakuta's done

Ahahaha, what happened here?!

If Terry is out we'll probably line up Ferriera - Ivanovic - Bruma - Cole Bosingwa will probably feature after half-time and if Carlo feels Bruma isn't up to it he may drop Essien there (it's been done before..)

That wasn't today was it? He came on from the subs bench after half time in the 4-0 win over Cyprus tonight.

Hopefully it's one of those "just in case" pull outs.

Even though it's a crappy source I'm sure all the European giants want Ivan. He's a world class defender and rightfully he should be in demand, but there's NO WAY we're selling so /thread.

Hopefully, this won't be a Stoch situation.

Frank Arnesen was always confident that his youth development policy at Chelsea would produce positive results.

Perhaps we should've bid for the Olympic Stadium

It's always been an area we've needed to improve on and are doing so. It takes time, but progress is being made

You should never doubt the youth teams of clubs who play in lower divisions with their senior squads. It's often the "smaller" clubs who have the most successful academies.

Daily Mail reports ManCity sign Gai Assulin

Yeah, but remember the 3-1 last season? We should not doubt Aston Villa away at all!! They are very strong at home and have plenty of quality in their squad.

Exactly! I'd much rather see the stadium expanded rather than us moving. But fair dos to Buck for saying we're not going anywhere

Haha I think he would, we bought Quaresma off him not too long ago (okay bad example, he was a crap signing) but still. It's just how much he'll over-charge us for him

Even John Terry?

The future's bright, the future's blue.

Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck says the club still have no plans to leave Stamford Bridge. The Blues are dominating English football on the field after winning both the Premier League and FA Cup trophies last season and Carlo Ancelotti's side are sitting pretty at top this term after seven games. But the West Londoners lie eighth in the table when it comes to attendance averages and a move away from the Bridge has long been mentioned to help them compete with the type of revenues Manchester United and Arsenal command from their gate receipts. And while Buck admits Chelsea will never rule out leaving their 105-year home, the Blues chairman insists the capital outfit are making up for a smaller capacity venue by focusing on revenue from commercial activity, sponsorship and new media. He told Sky Sports News."There is a lot of history and tradition here at Stamford Bridge. "The club has been here since 1905 and so it's very, very difficult for us to make the philosophical decision that we are going to move on. "Certainly we wouldn't leave West London or thereabouts and there are very few sites available. "We have to do things with our other commercial activities to make up the deficit that is created by the fact we don't have a 60,000 seat stadium. "I can't say that we will never move or have a new stadium but at the moment it's not at the front of our agenda. "What's at the front of our agenda is increasing our commercial activities, increasing how our sponsors and increasing how we use new media." || SkySports ||

He's at Real Madrid, Real Madrid doesn't like us. Real Madrid will want near £30million for him, and he's not worth even £25.

Working class?

Too expensive.

Haha everyone who reads this will think "was there any real competition for this?"

Take into account though, no-one honours contracts anymore
