How so?

I'm a big, er, 'fan' of Kalou's girl.

De Brune excites a lot, he seems so direct and has great technical ability. Anderlecht are being incredibly stupid if they think Genk will sell him to Chelsea if they think he will end up on loan back in Belgium straight away. What would really be funny is if we weren't aware of De Bruyne at all until Anderlecht proposed a deal and then we just said 'nah we'll have him as well'.

I think Matthew Harding is very appreciated by the club and its fans.

The FA says no in-coming transfers from European clubs until July 1st. You can google if you don't believe me!

Well said Marcel! And if he is serious about training kids then I would love him to do that at Chelsea.

Well we were in a bad moment. Only on British transfers. European transfers open July 1st.

Ok that makes much better sense than Chelsea playing 60+ games with just 19+5! That was a great run by Heung for the goal and nice finish. Hope Chelse are keeping an eye on him, he looks like a real talent. Plus the baord wil be happy he can sell shirts in Asia!

They're going to be a big threat for 4th. I'm aiming a little higher if the summer goes well. There's enough time to make some good moves. I'll start panicking if we haven't improved the squad by August.

You are right they have added to their squad. Thing is though, they have added another mediocre player to a mediocre squad. Well done Liverpool If we wanted Henderson or players of that calibre we could sign them in 10 minutes. Signing good players takes a little longer. Tthe transfer window doesn't officially open until the 1st of July!

We're not missing out. They've signed a striker and midfielder, big deal. Sturridge and McEachran or Henderson and Carroll. I know which pair I'd rather have.

We're waiting for the top clubs (I don't include Liverpool in that group) to do their shopping first and see what's left.

I remember that goal lol. Not many players, let alone young players, could have done that to Carvalho! I think if you watched Chelsea this season you will realise that 20 players + 4 young 'talents' is simply not enough for a whole season. If you get some injuries and some players lose form then you will be in deep trouble like we were during the winter.

LOL Ok, well it matters a little.

I like Petric too, very good technical ability. His freekick goal against Fulham was amazing! Elia just is a very good athlete in my opinion and not a very good footballer. If we can build a link with between Chelsea-Hamburg then that's great. The players will be able to play in a good quality league and get experience so I would be happy with that.

That's not the official kit. It can't be. It looks like sh*t.

Thanks, and your English is very good. :tophat: I do think (or at least hope) that there is some link between the two clubs and Tore, in particular, has a buy-back clause if he proves himself to be a very good player. I will follow Hamburg next season. So who is our favourite player at Hamburg? And don't say Elia please, he's just a faster version of Kalouless.

I know youtube scouting is as silly as it gets but having watched this video I really like the look of this lad. He looks very good, albeit in a weak league, but there is potential there no doubt.

It doesn't matter so much who our coach is anymore. What matters the most is who we sign this summer.

Why blame anybody? Sala was never going to feature next season or the season after or the season after that... The real possibility of playing games for a top-flight German team is infinitely better than being stuck in Chelsea's reserves for the next three years.

These young players are making smart decisions for their careers. They are following Arnesen, the man who signed them, to a club where he will undoubtedly have a much bigger influence at in terms of first team/squad. So added to long term deals on good wages they are almost guaranteed games as well. Do you really think Tore would have been given any significant playing time next season? Of course not. In contrast at Chelsea they were all on the last year of their deals, with no signs of long term contracts or any real possibility of playing games at a club that currently has no manager! This isn't about Arnesen stealing all the academy players, these kids are thinking about their careers. Good luck to them. Now I have a team to follow in the Bundesliga. Win-win all round!

Harry scares me to death but as crazy as our board is I don't think they're that bad. It looks like Hiddink is the man and I'm very happy with that.

I think both Anelka and Kalou are off. And with Drogba almost guaranteed to be off next summer there is definitely a place for Sturridge at Chelsea.

Kostas, welcome back. :tophat: Haven't seen you around in a while. You missed all the celebrations of Ancelotti's sacking.

If he is that good in training what the hell was Carlo playing at? He gave him just 2 Premier League starts in 18 months. This is why I'm glad Ancelotti was sacked.
