PHEW ..Hilario nearly touched the ball then..but thankfully he stumbled and so the ball run harmlessly wide..

1-1.. Super, Super Frank Super Frankie Lampard... nice play in the build up by P.V.A.

Kalou & Malouda off ....McEachran & Sinclair on..

still Hilario.

Riccy is on too..looking more lively so far this half

Borini,Essien,Matic,Mancienne,Lampard ,Ivanovic on..that they have shown so far..can`t see who else is on ..i think Van Aanholt...kalou and Malouda have stayed on..

8 or 9 (they`ve said both) changes for the second half they have said on Ctv.

remember folks it`s the first pre-season game for many of our starters..so try not to freak out and give yourselves a stroke,if the performance doesn`t go as you expect it.

impressive turnout by the Frankfurt fans.

pleasant suprise to see Lamps dressed to play and warming up on the pitch afterall.

starting team announced... Hilario Ferreira Bruma Terry Cole Benayoun Mikel Zhirkov Kalou Anelka Malouda

is only on Chelsea TV On-line for viewers outside of the U.K, who can`t watch Ctv on their tellies.

i`ll go with.. Hilario Mancienne Ivanovic Terry Cole Essien Mikel Zhirkov Kalou Anelka Malouda to play the first half with Borini, Van Aanholt,Bruma,Benayoun,McEachran,Matic,Turnbull &Sinclair coming on in the second.

so has Wes "Bean-head" Brown...

Chelsea Arsenal Man U Everton

Salary. Aguero, despite his public show of affection towards our club..would expect twice the salary Neymar would be offered/expecting to join us..and that`s not mentioning the Transfer fee and signing on bonus etc..

ah well there`s room for both of us..you in Goal..me, Right-back-on the goal line,smoking a cigarette,swigging from a beer can...i think we could have held our own against Stoke & Wigan last year at the bridge,atleast.. don`t know where Manuf plans to play but we`ve claimed our spots in the squad already.

well i`d play for free too.. i`m 34, so nobody can say i`m inexperienced. i`ve got a shot like Johnny Metgod. pace that can live with anyone over a yard or two...after about 3 or 4 yards i`m keeled over coughing my guts up..but at 6 foot 1 and just over 200lbs i`m atleast an obstacle that the opposition would have to get around rather than through. and i satisfy the "homegrown" rule..

some of the Wycombe players have been pro`s for years...the scoreline doesn`t read very good..but like i`ve said before, the youngsters need to play in the senior team surrended by experienced heads before we can fairly judge them. all that said..Di Santo starting his third consecutive friendly and not making his mark on any of the games after his loan spell at Blackburn,doesn`t look good for him.

that does look sweet,fair play.

i`m sure once its made clear to me, i`m gonna feel stupid after asking these questions... :huh:

so it doesn`t matter if those havent been with us for 3 years? e.g. if we signed Neymar we wouldnt have to count him in our 25?

quality player but... 1)He plays for Lyon..who as we know with the Essien saga..don`t hand over their players without kicking and screaming all the way.. 2)he`s left footed..and unfortunately we must be the only team in the world who have so many left footers but not many right footers. 3) he`ll soon turn 28...but that`s not as key as point 1 & 2.

i want us to sign Ramires as he`s a quality young player who would fit in well with us...but if this latest news is true..it makes me feel like we should tell Benfica to go fook themselves...we need a midfield addition now and they seem to be trying to play us like fools...not only over this but Luiz too.. not sure where we go from here tho..perhaps try and hijack the Khedira to Real deal..or/and go for Ozil..can`t believe Tottenham are currently favorites to sign him.

what about the "foreignors" who are under 21..and have not been with us for 3 years yet? that`s the part that confuses me...i`ve read on the thread that we can have as many under 21`s as we want but does that include those players too or not?
