On-pitch minutes > training, isn't that why they're sent on loan? Even assuming that he's training him their way, it's no use to us. Surely keeping him here, training with the Chelsea squad is the more feasible way to ingrain in him what's expected from a Chelsea midfielder, right? I'm not bothered about whether Rodgers is obliged to play him or not, my simple concern is about Josh getting what he was sent out to get - minutes. We complain (rightly so) when PvA and Kakuta don't get any action at Wigan and Fulham, why any different with Josh?

Seems far off to me. Barca don't have a buy-back clause, they have to meet our valuation if we want to sell, not a pre-decided price. His agent has come out and said how he's grateful to Chelsea for giving him a chance at senior football.

At the end of the day, from our perspective, our most promising youngster has ended up swapping our bench for Swansea's. After signing there Josh went on record to say that he expects to start most games till the season's end. I don't think he would make such a claim if he wasn't led to believe so by Rodgers. Rodgers would have been the clinching factor for Swansea in getting Josh, there were others like Villa who were interested as well.

Rodgers has abused his links with the club and the player to get himself a backup option.

That Portuguese guy seems a troll.

None taken. Not DMs per se, double pivot in central midfield, like against Stoke.

Cech Bosingwa Cahill Luiz Bertrand Meireles*---Mikel Lampard Sturridge ------------ Kalou Torres * Romeu if available.

So a win with Benfica gets rewarded with a semi against Barca, with second leg away from home. Obviously designed to keep Barca in and have a Madrid-Barca final which Platini can wank over. Nice one, UEFA.

Winner of Benfica - Chelsea vs winner of Milan - Barca. Fuck.

Milan vs Barca

Benfica vs Chelsea

Marseille vs Bayern

Apoel vs Madrid

This Gianni cunt is annoying.

All streaming sites seem to have been shut down, you get that US Homeland Dept notice on logging on.

Haven't we just signed some teenage Mexican keeper? Jorge Avial is going beserk in South - Central America.

Re Torres holding up seven fingers, he's probably implying that's he's the new Sheva.

What does Ferreira even do? 60k a week wasted on nothingness.

Bring on Barca ffs. We don't have anything to lose.

You do like creating threads.

Ye, Red Tube does that to you.
