Want Tuchel to succeed, I’d like to see him try a different system

I don't think squad is as good as the two Manc sides but better than the rest. We'll challenge but finish in top 4 with no issues providing no key injuries.

If Lampard is going to go, it would make sense I suppose.

No left back in the world is worth £25m + if FFP wasn't something we were held back by, I'd say let's do it. The money is better spent elsewhere though.

Well said Henrique.

Real Madrid and or Barca are the biggest clubs on the planet, we've obviously had great success in the last 10 years but that doesn't rival the prestige of playing for one of those two clubs. I hope I am wrong, but Hazard seems like the sort of player who wants to develop his name with us then move on.

Hazard will be with us for at least another two seasons. If he carries on improving I can see him off to Real Madrid after that.

Lukaku is better at 21 when Drogba first was when he joined Chelsea. I sincerely hope we don't mess him around, going to one of the best, if not THE best, strikers in the world.

Would love to sign Shaw, but is ANY left back worth £25m + ??? Seems mad.

Hoping this will be done sooner rather than later!

Think he'll more than likely be on the bench tomorrow, not enough time to train with the team to start this one. Maybe he'll start Swansea.

Cracking business. Sturridge OUT, Ba IN & £4-5m Profit.

Does this mean once he's fit he is staying with us or is he going straight back to Madrid?

I remember going on CFCnet years and years ago. The atmosphere wasn't that nice, I was younger and didn't understand forum etiquette as much as I do now. They let me know how they felt about my being there. Since coming here never really looked back, much much friendlier. (P.S: Sorry for my inactivity, like Alex Uni is really taking it's toll, the way things are going I'm lucky to even catch the football! Hope you're all well)

I find it funny people are arguing with this rentboi guy. Just ignore him, he's a nobody and we're European Champions. Let's get on with it.

I think this deal has been done but will "go through" on deadline day, as they all love a good show and marquee signings on the final day of the transfer window. That's my prediction

I really hope this goes through soon. I really hate doing business whilst the season is going, players like Azpilicueta would have been for our pre-season. Right-Back is the area we need the most, maybe then striker depth afterwards. Hopefully we can get this done in time for the game after Newcastle.

There is an extended highlights program on SkySports 1 at 10:30pm after the game for us UK viewers who aren't watching a stream. I'll try and find one, but I'm not hopeful so I'll probably listen on the radio. I think 2-1. Reading are really going to be up for this, and I just have the feeling we're still going through some growing pains with our new players and finding the balance between attack and defence, also our central midfield looks like it can be walked through at times. A hard fought win with two goals from Torres

@GuillemBalague Chelsea have made an approach for Modric, willing to offer 40m+. Levy delying deal with Madrid after agreeing fee. Modric wants 2 go 2 Real Source: Twitter. Surely not again?

This is taking AGES! I hope it doesn't drag on too much longer.

Does anyone think maybe once he is done playing he may come back potentially as a striker coach? Youngsters look up to him and he seems to bond very well with younger players. Wouldn't mind seeing it, Shevchenko has been linked with recently to do some sort of coaching.

Fair play Konohas! Still Hazard though

HAHA I thought the topic was 'Hazard or Malouda' Hazard though, I haven't seen any of Maoura... and his name is too much like Malouda

Disgraceful really. If Mata, for instance, missed us a penalty in the same situation (not shootout) I couldn't imagine a Chelsea fan ever even thinking of booing him!

Heartbroken </3
