Also should have had a assist or two if it wasn't for really bad finishes from other players.

We could use a man that can score against Liverpool. Also should have had a assist but some idiot somehow managed to fuck it up.

Rival fans are stupid, just like we are when it comes to other teams. Lukaku mentioned that Steve Clarke had been calling him everyday and they had talked a lot, sounds like he really wanted him so I don't fear he won't get any play time much. I can't blame Lukaku being pissed at being bought in by Chelsea only to have a manager that never even wanted him, fucking AVB. Also as We Hate Scouse says don't take that article for completely true, lets remember about all the bullshit and misquotes about Hazard and quotes taken completely out of context.

People can change wikis. Amazing.

Because of twitter and every idiot now being able to start rumors that somehow finds their way to forums like this. Transfers has been a long process pretty much every since pro football became a thing, there's just so much more easy exposure to rumors and stuff today.

Well this is a shame. Really dumb by Ivan and now he's suspended in PL too, right?

Transfers are not as simple as in FM.

According to Studio Sport, De Laurentiis has decided to sell Cavani and negotiations with Chelsea are underways. http://www.video.med...ll8-agosto.html Edit : Still Italian, but a text version http://www.sportmediaset.mediaset.it/calcio/napoli/articoli/87459/cavani-de-la-tratta-col-chelsea.shtml

and they have every right to stay here. That said seeing as Essiens (and Maloudas?) contracts were signed before the FFP shit, it might be that they really hope they return to form as they won't count towards FFP and that would obviously be a big plus instead of signing a new guy that would.

Just to compare him to Drogba like everyone loves, at that age Drogba was still running around barely being able to train with the first team at Le Mans. I agree he has been mostly useless for Chelsea so far and hasn't shown much of his potential, but we got to give him some time and not constantly compare his performances to Drogbas and judge him on a over inflated price that was stupid Chelsea managements fault more than anything. I know I'm probably alone about this on here, but I still believe in him turning into a good striker, but a loan would probably be the best for him right now, then Chelsea just needs to buy a new striker too.

No need to rush Torres if he wasn't quite ready, even if Lukaku was pretty bad.

Oh dear, Ferreira seems to age 3 years every year. Lets get that new right back already haha.

Have you ever been there? Not a place I would want to live for sure and when your wife even gets robbed and shit... Yeah...

Haha it's not more than a few weeks ago he said his future was with Napoli, same shit he and his agent did with Palermo. But I love the guy and hope he comes here anyway, the real question is : Who wouldn't want to get out of Naples?

"His first name was inspired by the Belgian comic strip Thorgal and he grew up in a family where football was dominant." It's just a family with awesome names I guess. Now buy Kylian Hazard!

Good goal by Piazon, wouldn't worry too much about the first half performance, it's pre season. Also Pastore is still class.

Can't wait to see more of all Chelseas new signings and also been quite some time since I have seen Sirigu and Pastore, miss those guys at Palermo. Are Chelsea even English anymore? Answer : Yes on both questions.

He doesn't at all. It's a position he has only just started being allowed to play a few times during friendlies for the Belgian national team, the amount of games he has had on the left wing by far outweights the times he has played CAM. The central role might be the one he likes best himself, but I feel pretty sure we will mostly see him on the wing here.

Might not have been his best game and I can see lots of valid arguments against signing Hulk, but average at best? Come on.

Caught the replay of the game and can't help but be really excited for the new season. So many exciting performances for such an early pre game match (yeah yeah, defensive problems that will no doubt be sorted). Also great support by the seattle fans, watched a couple of games at their stadium and they no doubt got the most impressive support in the MLS.

The same way I felt when they took him from Palermo. So lets go ahead and steal him from that asshole De Laurentiis!

I'm afraid that would be way too offensive, the central midfield would be way too easily overrun.

The big difference of course being that Oscar has played out wide on the right wing while Moutinho has as far as I know never played as a winger. Bolding words is fun.

No thank you. His shitty attitude and inability to perform consistently in big matches can fuck right off. Also he's kind of old and it would insane giving Milan the money they want and meet his wage demands.

Bull fucking shit. Someone didn't watch him pre napoli, that's for sure. He was one of the biggest reasons Palermo were battling for Champions League spots (and only missed out by one point).
