Forgetting Herrera there mate.

BBC are reporting that United have agreed a fee with Ajax for Daley Blind. So thats £147m down the pan including 4 left sided players.

Reports that QPR are set to sign Lassana Diarra from Lokomotiv Moscow. I swear hes had a new club every year since about 2007. 2004 - Le Havre 2005 - Chelsea 2007 - Arsenal 2008 - Portsmouth 2009 - Real Madrid 2012 - Anzhi 2013 - Lokomotiv 2014 - QPR 8 clubs in 10 years, soon to be rivalling Steve Claridges 28 clubs in 29 years or whatever it was.

Can't swap a number once you've been registered to it with the PL. (Unless theres been a rule change this year that I'm not aware of.)

Agreed, the best goals are the ones that you're surprised by and don't expect to happen.

This could be an incredibly big season for Remy if this deal comes off. Think about it, he'll sign a 3/4 year contract most likely to be our 2nd choice centre forward on the best wages hes ever received. Come next summer, when Drogba leaves, surely the choice of the board will be to: a ) Recall Bamford and allow Remy to remain as 2nd choice. b ) Sign another big name centre forward and drop Remy to 3rd choice. I think Remy will need to have an absolutely fantastic season to ensure 'b' doesn't happen.

It really is kinda sad that this relationship is coming to an end two years early. I do really hope that this guy can rediscover something, anything and just enjoy playing football again. Because ever since a couple of months into the AVB era, he hasn't done that. He's looked like the sort of man that doesn't just feel nervous prematch, like a kid making his Premier League debut at 17 filled with butterflies, he looks as though he's filled with dread every time he steps out - scared to make (another) high profile mistake that is going to belittle him and his career. On the whole though, I do believe this guy did everything to 'come good again'. He wanted it badly. But the more he tried the worse he seemed to get. Its a shame, because a long with Bolton, Munich and a few other special Chelsea memories I have I'll always remember being at the Bridge for his first goal against West Ham, or jumping around my living room when he rounded Valdes in Barcelona. I can't think I remember any goal celebrations more precisely than I do those two. So thankyou, Fernando for those two really special memories. Were they worth £50m? Probably not, but they were absolutely priceless at the time.

Imagine the meltdown on here if Jose says Torres is staying in the PC.

Hey, we all made a mistake on this guy.

They said a few weeks ago that Benatia wasn't for sale, and sold him for what many believe was undervalue.

"Assessed over the next couple of days and should still be in contention to face Everton at the weekend." Phew.

Sky Bet have now suspended betting on Fernando Torres' future as a move to Milan looks increasingly likely. The book was closed at 1/4 after a handful of huge bets this afternoon. Find all Sky Bet's transfer odds here.

Maybe Courtois will start a trend. If they're good enough, they'll make it.

If this does happen, and its only a loan, what happens if he's crap? He'll come back in 12 months time and we'll be stuck with him for the remaining year of his contract and pay him £175k a week. Sell him, fuck a transfer fee. Just give him away. That said, for his few great moments in a blue shirt, i'll be eternally grateful.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if its Matic, Fabregas and Oscar in midfield with Ramires wide right to stop Baines.

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?
