Sheva.

Kalou starts, Malouda on the bench.

@Chris_Cohen Chris Cohen I repeat... MATA!

Guillem Balague Mata: form of payment and other little details delaying confirmation. Clubs talking right now. You'll have to be patient :-)

This was funnier than the joke itself lol.

Lmaoooo

Haha ok. Hope it's true anyway.

Where did you hear that btw? Lmfao at the comments

GuillemBalague Guillem Balague Mata move 2 Chelsea sorted. It's a matter of hours. Clubs agreed fee, 28m (euros), personal terms agreed too. He's very much looking 4ward to it

Quick question, anyone know if he can take free-kicks?

Edit: has already been posted

AS says there has been no formal offer by Chelsea, but that could probably happen in the coming hours http://translate.google.co.in/translate?hl=en&twu=1&u=http://www.as.com/futbol/articulo/chelsea-contacta-valencia-fichar-mata/20110819dasdasftb_27/Tes

Imo that's probably the case. As long as we get one of them, i'll be happy

Daily fail also reporting Chelsea making a bid - 27m + 2m addons.

Nope. Anyway interesting to note Porto bought him 2 years ago for 4m, now sold him for 40m

Sell Anelka, keep Kalou *sigh*

45m euros i think, his release clause

He's been sold to Atletico for 40m euros. Lock thread

Saw Hilario's stats on SSN, and we've only lost like 3 times in 33 games with him starting. And he's had 16 clean sheets. I will be a lot more confident if AVB picks him, instead of Turnbull.

no comment.

Welcome to Chelsea once again

Just great.

Ok Didier forever

According to ESPN soccernet stats page, he had 12 assists last season, Xavi had 7. Only 4 players had more than him - Messi (18) Ozil (17) Alves (15) Xabi Prieto (13)
