Lampard, Terry and Cole to sign new deals.

Pedro Pinto ‏@pedropintotv33m People asking about Matic - I can tell you it is a done deal if he passes his medical in London. Fee will be €26.3 million. ChelsTransferGossip ‏@ChelsTransfer2m Nemanja Matic has arrived in London for his medical (Sky) #CFC #SLB

I hear a lot of Benfica fans saying he's better than Witsel, whats your opinion?

You said Moruinho made coaching 'cool' and that coaches was perceived as that 'old guy nearing retirement who wears a sheep skin coat', Brian Clough was young, outspoken, and was the 'star of the team'. I agree with you about the marketing aspect, but speaking only on character, Clough was a revelation.

Brian Clough did that 40 odd years ago.

Yaya and Fernandinho don't have the best passing range yet city seem to be doing well.

Its hard to believe he's 26, time flies.

:LOL: I applaud Rodgers, he's a funny fucker.

Still cant believe we bought David Luiz for £25 million+Matic, now Matic is going to cost more... you couldn't make it up. I'm not against this signing, but the way our club handles itself is a joke, although in recent years we've been better in the transfer market.

We're not going to sell our best player, bullshit story.

Must have been a real shit game.

Xavi's quotes regarding Mourinho - “Pep Guardiola is an important person for me - Jose Mourinho is a coach who focuses only on results,” Xavi told Panenka magazine. “He says he is ‘The Special One’ because he won this and that in so many countries but I do not like the way his teams play. “Who remembers the Inter side who were champions of Europe? For me, he has not left a legacy, unlike Cruyff has in the Netherlands.”

Writing like it's his facebook wall

Graeme Bailey ‏@GraemeBailey2m Fredy Guarin looks set to remain at Inter Milan this month, his agent Marcelo Ferreyra has confirmed. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/9105720/transer-news-fredy-guarin-set-for-inter-milan-stay

When things are not going his way he's one of the most frustrating players in the world, no thanks.

I remember some people saying he's just as good if not better than Hazard earlier in the season, i'm still skeptical of that, but it'll be interesting to see how where he goes next.

Not really good enough tbh, decent squad player but that's about it.

Imagine him behind Hazard, Willian and Oscar... perfect.

We could do with him now to be honest, hopefully our board haven't forgot about him...

This is probably how Jose wants us to play, very impressive pressing.

I hear some people mainly opposition fans saying he should go to a team like Dortmund... surely he'll find it harder with their pressing and intensity. If he was to be sold he needs to play for a possession based team IMO, that's how you get the best out of him.

Have to disagree here, Mata changed that match, he was absolutely fantastic. I know he doesn't fit this 'high pressing' team Jose' trying to create but i think you're giving him a massive disservice here. Although i tend to agree that we look a different side with Oscar, Hazard and Willian playing behind the striker, the intensity and pressing reminds me of United 10 odd years ago, the way they used to counter attack with pace and purpose was brilliant to watch, same with Arsenal before they adopted this possession football, the 2003/04 side played wonderful football very similar to Dortmund (with less pressing of course), they attacked with pace instead of passing for five minutes straight...

Hows he doing at Napoli?

Was the best player on the pitch when we played Basel away, should be a good signing.
