I've suspected this for quite a while...there might be an appearance related clause as well...

The bus is a transformer in disguise

Maybe now we can see if the fabled Torres-Drogba partnership can come to fruition... Nah screw it...Lets play Lukaku and Drogba upfront and the give the opposition two man-mountains to deal with... But seriously...would like to see how well Hazard and Drogba can combine in a game... .....Man I'm excited.

GIANTfranco Zola

Honestly expected him to stay with us last season, after the pre-season matches he had...but hey, that's pre-season for you!

Funny thing is, he really hasn't even been given a first chance...

And that probably is the long and short of it. There hasn't been a word from the player or his agent for more than a month now...but this topic has been buzzing nonstop during that period..more than it should be.,IMO

Cheer up man...maybe Torres and Costa will form an excellent strike partnership

Don't want to dash anyone's hopes...but its looking increasingly likely that Costa and Torres will be 1'st and 2'nd choice strikers next season...

I'm surprised none of the media outlets have used Mourinho's own quotes to stir up more rumors..like when he said that Pogba was the best young player at the WC.

While he had all those shots on target throughout the match, the one thing I was begging for him to do all game was to actually run at his full-back and do what he normally does for Chelsea when playing on the left wing...instead of passing the ball back to the center or waiting for some overlapping support... And surely enough, in ET he finally does attack and runs out wide, and comes up with the one of the best chances in the entire game... But all the same really happy for him..most of the attention was on Goetze, but it was good to see him get mobbed by his team-mates at the end, especially Klose..

That central midfield role is really the missing piece in the puzzle for United.... If Vidal does go there, United will be right back in it next season...

We don't exactly have good cover for Costa...and I don't really see a second attacker coming in this window. I still think its not the best idea to let him leave without him getting some game-time here.....although I won't be surprised if Jose plans to go in this season with Torres and Ba as his 2nd and 3'rd choice.

The dinosaurs in JP look more realistic than most of the CGI turd that has come out 20 years later...

Also, don't forget... the team spirit when that season started was unlike many other... It was after that disappointing exit against Barcelona, and with Drogba starting his quest for redemption (following the FA cup win in 09)... I just hope the results of last season, with it being a close title race and the disappointment in the WC (for most of the team players), will leave this "green" team hungry this season...

This is official too I believe.. All we now need is Ford to become our kit sponsor and we're all set..

Its a shame Mikel was never given a chance in his original role as number 10 at Chelsea...instead of playing as inconsistent DM

Understand where you're coming from, but Oscar is one of those players I'm least worried about when it comes to that. Irrespective of his antics on instagram/twitter, as a player, he's as level-headed as they come and I feel he has the maturity to transition seamlessly between different roles on the pitch.

Yeah,,,used to have that impression when Didier was on the ball at times..but then he would pull of something totally unexpected to shut me up.

This. This is what I'm hoping we'll see more of, cause we almost definitely are going to need this from our striker.

ever plan on going back to your old username....Thor?

Was about to say the same...in fact have they sold anyone so far this season? At least 3 key players of theirs are targeted by other clubs, and they also look set to lose Courtois back to us...That's a big change for any club in 1 transfer window.

Hah...I'd love to see him try to bite someone like Costa...would be his last attempt for sure

Good performance today,,...who would have thought?

Yep...in the first half he cut a frustrated figure, but he really came alive in the last half hour of the game... Would have scored a brilliant goal (with that swivel in the box) if not for the deflection, and should have had an easy second assist as well..
