Hope that last one is a wakeup call, the team needs it right now.

Good lineup. I'm certainly no huge Ramires fan, but it's clear that Fabregas and Matic as the main central midfielders were a bit unbalanced against two promotion teams, and I could see it costing against better opponents like Everton. Also hopefully this should give Fabregas a bit more free role, which I think will make him even better in there. Edit : only just saw the Chelsea twitter image. Hope that isn't true.

" The move is now subject to Fernando agreeing personal terms with AC Milan and passing a medical examination."' Eh.... I'm going to cancel my celebrations for a bit more.

He's dead inside. Just leave for Milan, where all the other dead players go.

You can google and see hundreds of sites use it interchangeably, even the one I just linked to says "Pulled hamstrings are graded 1, 2 or 3 depending on severity.". It's fairly easy to see this is the injury the press are talking about and hoping isn't as serious as you can fear, and I will trust hundreds of online sources more than you.

Someone is clearly not a doctor or even someone who bothers googling hamstring injuries. There's several grades of this, and you can be out anywhere from 1 week to 6 months. Here you go " Grade 1 Hamstring StrainWith a grade 1 hamstring strain you may have tightness in back of the thigh but will be able to walk normally. You will be aware of some hamstring discomfort and unable to run at full speed. There will be mild swelling and spasm. Bend your knee against resistance is unlikely to reproduce much pain. Grade 2 Hamstring StrainWith a grade 2 hamstring strain your walking pattern will be affected and you will most likely be limping. Sudden twinges of hamstring pain during activity will be present. You may notice some hamstring muscle swelling and your hamstring will be tender to palpate. It will also be painful for you to bend your knee against resistance. Grade 3 Hamstring StrainA grade 3 hamstring strain is a severe injury involving a tear to half or all of the hamstring muscle. You may need crutches to walk and will feel severe pain and weakness in the muscle. Swelling will be noticeable immediately and bruising will usually appear within 24 hours. Diagnostic MRI may also be used to specifically identify the grade of hamstring tear and its exact location. ...... Hamstring Strain Recovery TimesWhile every hamstring injury and the demands of your sport differ, here are some general hamstring strain recovery times when you follow an optimal physiotherapist-guided rehabilitation program. Grade 1 - 1 to 3 weeks Grade 2 - 4 to 8 weeks Grade 3 - 3 to 6 months. These may also require surgery. " http://physioworks.com.au/injuries-conditions-1/hamstring-strains-amp-injuries

Schurrle adds a lot of good movements with his runs up front, even if he got a bit in the way today a few times. If anything Ramires or Willian needs to start instead of Oscar.

Has he gotten on a diet yet?

Carvalho got the best agent in the world. He's somehow linked to every single top club in the world, every week. But he's not coming, not for the prices being thrown around, not even close to quality enough for that price.

Yes, so does politicians and so on. Why do they even meet up?

Dat Costa pass from the middle Dat Costa tap in

Well if no other premier league clubs were interested, it's easy to understand him. But yeah, seems like he should be able to go to a bigger and better club.

Haha nice, is this available without the text?

lol

This is football, things can change in a matter of seconds and owners and managers lies all day long.

Yeah can't disagree with that and would like to see him playing in there, but with the rotation and such that probably won't happen too often. But I would be glad to see it, cause it seems like it could work really well. I didn't say Atletico were a bigger club lol. But at least it was a rather interesting team, and a good choice for Villa who knew he wasn't going to get a better offer than that or the Barca bench. He thought playing time was more important than sitting on the bench at a club that didn't want him anymore. I can't even bother to argue with you about the rest, you are truly one of the most clueless posters I have ever come across on a football forum and that says a lot, your posts are an endless stream of diarrhea. On the ignore list you go.

Christ... "This is what happens in the real world". Well clearly not with Torres, huh? And why is that? Cause no one are insane enough to sign him, and you even more challenged than I imagined, if you don't think Chelsea would do a lot to get a deal like that going. Villa was on high wages but still played fairly well, Barca wanted to get rid and gave him away cheaply. It made sense for him to leave and find another fairly big club to sign for, as he still had quality. Essien? Well, he was clearly willing to go down in wages a lot to sign for Milan, a club so broke that they will take anything that is cheap and once has been class, in hope of them finding their form. You can not directly compare situations like this with others, just cause a deal like that was workable for Essien, does not mean it is for Torres.

I'm not against it, the problem being that the many other attacking mids Chelsea got aren't nearly as good as Hazard on the wing. So he's the natural choice for the wing.
