Thats to be seen!

For all those who doubt this transfer, i believe this is a transfer pretty much similar to one of RVP last season. The difference between winning the league and losing it on point difference. Rooney has weight issues, he has handed transfer for a better package,he is this, he is that ... For me end of the day he gets u 20+ goals a season, is a fighter when he takes the field and more importantly if he joins us means he is taking away that 20+ goals from United and adding into our kitty. For me this out weighs all the cons that has been said and told... But i think United are not as stupid as Arsenal to let him go to us they would rather let him rot in the reverses or ship him out, if this deal is happening i m going to have a blast laughing at my United mates...

Not sure if u have watched the Roman Abramovich's Documentary, in that Ron Harris is interviewed and he states that when Roman took over one of the first things he did was that he called the Ron Harris and offered him the hospitality job and he has been there since then ... Just a FYI

Seriously, mate. We are talking about a Top 10 Club, amazing sets of players both in the senior side and youth teams, great infrastructure surely among the best, good coaches at youth levels, playing in almost every competition not in only in England but also Europe ... What more can a young player can ask for specially when he is in his development phase. Us playing quite a few tournaments from this season and with less quality up front he would provide competitions for place up front. If he develop well that a bonus and another point in the scouting team's hat else he can always be sold out for profit. This would be a win-win situation for the club I like what Chelsea is doing, the intention is to win things at every level which is really good. I dont see him go on loan right away rather more of a player to strengthen the youth side .. Thats my belief ... I hope he does well ...

STIPE PERICA SIGNS Chelsea Football Club has today (Thursday) completed the signing of Stipe Perica. The 18-year-old striker moves to Stamford Bridge from NK Zadar in the Croatian top flight. Perica [pictured centre] made his debut for Zadar in September 2012, and since then has gone on to make 23 appearances, scoring 10 goals. He was part of the Croatia side eliminated at the knockout stages of the recent Under-20 World Cup in Turkey, where he made three appearances and scored one goal. http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3334691/title/stipe-perica-signs @Mods: Not sure where to put this, it is news out of the blue

your reputation is at stake, mate .... U better delivery on your word ..

Now you can smell football is in air! Good old days are back!

This is a little baffling, why a new contract when you have Schwarzer and Blackburn plus we let go of Turnbull (not that he was good). I guess we need one such decision to happen every season.

On the Live transfer clockwatch of Sky Sports. According to Lancenet in Brazil, Chelsea have made an offer of €9.4million (£8.1m) for Botafogo defender Doria and the Brazilian club are expected to respond to the bid by Friday night. Never heard of him but 8m seems to be a big amount for an unknown player if the news is true. Can anyone provide more insights on him? Looks like Barca are after him as well.

I think a lot also is up to your medical team and i think Arsenal has really got a weak one ... u can see it for urself the extent of injuries that happen to their and the recovering time ... I believe Chelsea really has a good medical team so the recovering time is also goes down due to it .. .

What happens if they are not able to make a marquee signing? If there is any chance, I see this happening only after the United game at OT and that too if Mr Rooney opens his mouth expressing that he wants to move. Otherwise with every passing day it is becoming another Modric saga.

Not sure why disappointing. In an already crowded midfield, he wouldnt get a chance of any game time. It is good that he goes out and get his development going. The million dollar question is where?

Just when everything is about to cool down .... someone has to come up with something to keep the saga going ....

Hated by all and loved by the Blues fan. This can only generate more hate in them and love in us Good to be nice

Chelsea to subsidise traveling supporters After the public relations disaster that was the end of 2012, Chelsea have been taking steps to make up for their missteps with the supporters. Frank Lampard was re-signed. Jose Mourinho was brought back. And now this, which in financial terms is probably the nicest gesture of all: Subsidised away travel. Specifically, Chelsea are going to help the supporters out when they have to travel long distances for Premier League games. In the announcement on the official site, four games have been singled out, all involving lengthy trips -- Everton, Manchester United, Newcastle and Sunderland. As to why the Manchester City and Liverpool away games haven't been mentioned, I'm not quite sure, but both are in the second half of the season and just might not have been announced yet. No matter what, this is a good gesture. Travelling supporters are a big part of the club, and with the expense involved in following a football team around, I'm sure that every little bit helps. I haven't heard of other English teams doing this, so good for Chelsea for showing some appreciation and lending a hand to their most dedicated supporters.

Chelsea Set To Complete Izzy Brown Deal Chelsea will shortly complete the signing of 16 year-old forward Isaiah ‘Izzy’ Brown from West Bromwich Albion after the finer details of the move were finalised on Friday. The Blues have held a long-standing interest in the Peterborough-born youngster but only accelerated the process of signing the England youth international in recent weeks. Perhaps spurred into action by his ascent into professional football and the potential of losing him to another club – he spent a week on trial at Arsenal in January – they decided to make their move. Brown made his Premier League debut towards the back end of last season barely two months after his sixteenth birthday. The Baggies’ Academy Player of the Year appeared at Under-21 and Under-18 level whilst still a schoolboy and was a regular feature for Kenny Swain’s Three Lions in their Victory Shield campaign. He is capable of playing as either an out and out forward or as a wide attacker and is blessed with skill, pace, strength and finishing ability. He will join a group of first-year scholars featuring Jeremie Boga, Charly Musonda, Charlie Colkett and others before penning professional terms next summer, and will likely feature across all youth age groups under both Dermot Drummy and Adi Viveash. West Brom will receive standard up-front compensation for the lifelong Chelsea supporter, roughly to the tune of £200,000 for his training and development up to this point. There is the potential for upwards of seven figures to make its way to The Hawthorns over the course of Brown’s Chelsea career should he reach the professional ranks, and they will be due a percentage of any future profit made on the player should he be sold. http://thechels.net/2013/07/chelsea-set-to-complete-izzy-brown-deal/ http://www.weaintgotnohistory.com/2013/7/7/4501848/west-bromwich-albion-Isaiah-brown-chelsea-transfer-training-update P.S. Since this is not official announced I have added it to transfer talk. Mods, please feel free to shift as appropriate.

Cavani is best striker among all those who are potentially available right now ... but i dont want the club to spend so much for him even though it is not my money. Lewandoski is clear value for money plus a terrific striker who would cost around 22 to 24m But i would want Rooney to be a part of the team because he is English, he still is an amazingly versatile player, gives more than 100% to the shirt that he wears, out and out team player, importantly knows the Premier league well.

As much as i want Cavani to be a part of the squad, I think Chelsea shouldnt increase the price for whatever they have mentioned earlier .... With the new PSG rumour coming in, Chelsea should actually put in an official request/bid for Rooney or Lewandoski to make a statement and start playing the mind games. If Cavani wants to play with the best in the world he would take it up with De Laurentis else the French league awaits him ...

Kevin De Bruyne will fight for first-team place at Chelsea next term :dance: :dance: :getin: :getin: :dance: :dance: Good the kid has got brains! BVB

Give him a god damn break! ... At the end of the day, he is a human!

Well we could and i would (love that) but then the hugely built 21 yrs old Lukaku came to my mind ... and i dropped the idea of having them both

Lots of things going around suddenly in regards with Cavani ... If he comes in it would be great, if he doesnt not the end of the world (maybe it is his loss). I will love to see Chelsea take that money and go all out for Rooney or Lewandoski instead if the Cavani deal doesnt go through ...
