I would love it if we can do some sort of testimonial for Drogba with the proceeds going to his hospital fund. Make it happen Chelsea!

hahahah

I think Juventus are interested. Would be a good move for him.

Good points. I just think Kagawa is a special player and when those guys become available you get them. Kagawa and Mata are smart enough in finding space and would be able to work together I'm sure of it. As for their size that's a fair point and probably why it won't happen.

He took only one penalty for Liverpool in a pre-season friendly and he missed. I'm glad he didn't take one. I'm almost 100% sure he would have missed. Good job Di Matteo.

I want us to sign this guy more than Hazard, Hulk etc. Very underrated player. Kagawa and Mata can be an amazing duo. Our strikers would never ever have to worry about service.

Loved his passion for the club. He must have been a young boy when Roman bought the club so he has grown up supporting our club. He went mental when Cech saved the penalty too.

OK having watched his message to the fans I'm holding back the tears. Wow, I need to man up seriously.

Tiote is a decent enough player but Mikel is on another level entirely. Did you even watch the Champions League final? Who cares what Tiote did in a run of the mill league game against an average Utd team. Absolutely amazing that after 6 season people still can't accept how good Mikel is. What the hell have you been watching for the last 6 years?

It's also been SEVEN years since Arsenal last won a trophy.

I watch a huge amount of football over various leagues. If you don't rate Mikel that's up to you but Tiote is not fit to lace Mikel's boots.

Tiote? HAHAHAHAHAHA He isn't fit to lace Mikel's boots.

Stop, you're gonna set me off too! I'm trying to hold it in.

Our best ever forward and my favourite Chelsea player ever. If it was up to me he would have a statue. Thank you, thank you and thank you Didier. Good luck big man!

That can't be true. I refuse to believe that.

If Bertrand does start then you just hope nerves won't affect him. Hopefully the experienced players will have a word with him before kick off. I've been up for about an hour and I'm so nervous. I know for sure I'll be crying tonight but let's just hope it's tears of joy rather than out of misery.

I can't imagine Sturridge starting or coming on. His greediness will go into overdrive to 'make a name for himself' and he will be a defensive liability.

Exactly. If he stays it's not because the club are trying to build around him. It's because nobody else in world football is stupid enough to pay him 200k a week for an 11 goal season.

Ok so you complain about the service for Torres...did you ever complain about the service for Drogba? How come we didn't try to find better passers for Drogba? Drogba still got the job done regardless of whether he was assisted or he had to make something out of nothing. It looks like you're saying conditions have to be absolutely perfect for Torres to produce otherwise he's useless. Is that the guy we really want to build around?

And after 8 years of the big alpha Drog then you can see why I'm not a fan.

There are things about Torres that annoy the hell out of me. He seems so mentally fragile and physically weak and is easily bullied on the pitch. He comes across like such a big coward sometimes in all honesty. He doesn't have that fire in him. Sorry but I don't want that kind of player leading our line for a month let alone a whole season. He can be a squad player or whatever. Di Matteo knows and a 50m unused substitute in the FA Cup Final says it all.

Who cares how much he cost? He wasn't worth 50m and hasn't played like a 50m player once during his time as a Chelsea player. Torres at this point is nothing more than a back-up player to use off the bench. If we try to build the team around him then we might as well give up any hope of winning something for the forseeable future. Torres is a nice guy and all that jazz but he's a rubbish player. It's that simple.

Canales is a good player but he just suffered another knee inuury and is out for 6 months again. That's 2 in a year now, doesn't look promising.

I need Terry and Ramires to score goals for my fantasy team!

If he doesn't get a new contract I'll die a little inside.
