Oh I see, interesting....

Theres nothing on his twitter!

When was the last time we had a centre forward score in his first two games? Off the top of my head, Deco (Portsmouth H, Wigan A) and Malouda (Utd, community shield, Birmingham H) managed it, but the last centre forward would be Adrian Mutu, who scored in his first 3 games running (Leicester, Blackburn, Spurs). We've had a hell of a lot of centre forwards since then.

Gone from 28/1 to 2/1 on SkyBet this morning to sign Remy apparently.

Didn't know where to stick this, but... Evertons new U21 goalkeeper: https://vine.co/v/M327UZzZOzx Jesus christ at that OG.

Same XI as Burnley for me, they all deserve to continue. Minutes for Luis, Drogba and Willian or Salah later in the game.

Big breaking news: Jose IS wearing a suit. Term will be delighted.

Going from starting the 13/14 season with one of the best goalkeepers in the world, to starting the 14/15 season with (another) one of the best goalkeepers in the world. Us Chelsea fans are ridiculously lucky nowadays!

Anyone have any idea how Burnley will line-up?

Wore blue there last time we went there. Seems to vary quite a bit against teams wearing claret and blue, wore white at West Ham last year but blue at Villa Park.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's coaching with the U21s or youth team for now. Not a bad start for now. I'm not sure if Mitchell's Dad, Mark Beeney is still at the club as a youth team GK coach?

Don't know if its been said on the previous pages but Chelsea TV said at HT that Schurrle, Ramires, Willian and Oscar are back in training tomorrow afternoon.

What a save Courtois.

How many managers played Essien consistently in defensive midfield? Benitez opted to play Luiz in midfield because he was a liability in defence and pretty much the whole of England told him he needed too. If Jose wanted to sell him, he could. Easily. But yeah, I'll leave this thread cos I forgot momentarily that Chelsea are meant to have 25 perfect world class players.

He's played 303 times for Chelsea... Those managers didn't do a great job replacing him then did they? Besides, how many defensive midfielders have we signed since Mikel has been here? Miniero and Matic twice?

Its no coincidence that over the 8 years hes been here - Mourinho, Grant, Scolari, Hiddink, Ancelotti, AVB, Robbie, Benitez and once again Mourinho - have all wanted JOM to be here. Some of the best managers in the world have wanted him in their sides. And he's played in pretty much every final since he arrived here. And furthermore, granted, hes not everyones cup of tea, but for 8 years hes given his all for the badge. And that is all Chelsea fans should ask for.

Hence why hes going out on loan. To show that potential week in week out and try and force his way past Matic and Mikel in the future. Coming back from an ACL injury, he still needs to prove he is capable of playing for a good side week in week out, cos he didn't do that at Valencia.

Waste of space? He's had many great games for us, not least Munich. And show some respect, European champion is John Obi.

Really weird to see only 6 youngsters involved now, including a 16 year old in Solanke. Means the Premier League is getting closer!

The greatest player to ever play for Chelsea. 6 or 7 sub appearances for Man City won't affect that.

Completely forgot about that. :') The start of an incredible year of transfer activity. To think we start this season with Courtois, Luis, Zouma, Matic, Cesc, Salah, Drogba and Costa in the squad compared to this time last year.

These are too cute. Whens his first trip to the Bridge going to be?

Love you Cesc.

Twenty-EIGHT million pounds? Really? Our board are on fire this summer. Those who are gutted by this - just pretend we never had him and made £10m profit from thin air.

I genuinely believe it should be Romelu who is disappointed with this, not us. He's leaving the club which made him cry the first time he entered the stadium. Had a chance at a big club and bottled it. He had the chance last summer and this summer to fight for a place here and didn't want to take it. I wish the guy luck, but is he going to go on to become a multi-Champions League winning Ballon d'Or elsewhere? I really don't see it.
