Kieran.

There's also a good chance we can unveil Hulk and Hazard (maybe even the manager) at the same time.

Yeah, don't see this happening.

Retiring numbers 1-11 is quite frankly, stupid. Retiring a number like 26 isn't a big deal (like TX said). Plausible because it isn't a traditional number.

He must have been thrilled for his friends and ex-teammates, but sad for himself. Poor Michael.

"Champions League will come for Chelsea when they least expect it." - Michael Ballack He was right.

I would tell WHS and Cap to stop spamming...but that was just hilarious

I understand your concerns, but I think he'll win you over eventually. He's a very promising talent.

For 23m, I'd relectuantly sell Ivanovic. Good business. I'd go after Sime Vrsaljko from Dinamo Zagreb, one of my favorite RBs right now. Couldn't be more than 8m.

Seeing zolayes with an avatar for once.

He was trying to save it, it was going to be a corner regardless.

Are you denying that there is a problem in your country?

It certainly was an odd choice, I agree. I feel like attacking Ukraine and Poland for being racist is wrong and got the feeling that England is being a bit xenophobic, especially towards Ukraine. Then again, I've seen what goes on in stadiums and the attacks on Asians and Africans in those countries. It's shocking to say the least; sickening that it happens in 2012. Some people just don't get it. It's a sticky situation for sure...

I think Ramires will play as part of the double pivot - but that doesn't necessarily mean CDM. I think with Mikel he'll be more of a box-to-box, and with Lampard they would sit back more, alternating bursts forward, etc. Should work. And for the record, I think Ramires has the skill set to be an excellent right back.

I guess lipreading counts as evidence now? smh.

That's a bit ridiculous. He's clearly coming here.

If I were him, I wouldn't have joined us either had we not won CL. We would have been in the Europa League...

"It is all down to that. I have always dreamed of playing the No 10 role, and wearing that number on my back, and you can see what a difference it makes from how many goals I have scored and set up for others."

Apparently this was on SkySports: "Chelsea have stated they allowed him to break the news via twitter, as they did not want to do any major media conferences. Tomorrow it will surely be on Chelsea TV."

Shut your mouth.

Get innnnnn Come on Chelsea, confirm it officially..

Doubt he'll announce it now

Chelsea Rumours ‏@ChelseaRumours Well now I've just heard from one of my favourite sources that it is Chelsea... We'll see! #CFC

Henry, van Persie.

Sloth, mate, you know you're not going to keep finding places to crash for free. Stay with your parents for a few months, get a job, save up and move out and never talk to them again if you need to.

Think they needed an experienced international striker for their squad, good call taking Torres. Would have brought Soldado over Negredo though.
