Well, tbf, they never saw him playing last season so they wouldn't know..

I feel your pain, bro..

Well we could either be cynical and say his agent screwed him over or try to be kind and say he probably wanted to come here real bad.

Yes but they were never going to afford someone of Navas' quality to replace him. They win because they didn't have to pay anything and Marco is on 20k/wk only.

The thing is, Chelsea don't care about 2-3 or even millions profit so selling is not exactly appealing to us. On the other hand, Thorgan has showed amazing development last season and might actually have a chance to make it here if he has a similar couple of seasons. So unless Thorgan himself asks the club to sell him, I don't see it happening.

Expected him to get loaned out and great job by the club to find him a loan at Seville who just lost Navas. This just seems like a great move for everyone. Hope he can stay away from injury so we could sell him next summer.

For now, just place the link in media tags like this: [ media ] link [ /media ] Without the spaces of course.

I guess it depends on what you're used to. Anyway I think, like Rmpr said, it is the humidity more than the heat that affects the players.

And now when he replies to your insults with more insults everyone goes nuts and asks us to ban when he was actually the one trying to civil about things.

Had a pretty good game yesterday, especially in the first half. Best I've seen him play in a while..

Good interview with Mikel here: http://www.kickoff.com/news/35332/chelsea-midfielder-john-mikel-obi-is-trying-to-find-a-balance-between-his-offensive-and-defensive-play "I always try to do what my coaches tell me. At Chelsea, I have to play for the team and be more defensive. "But in Nigeria, the coach allows me to express myself and I enjoy myself. "Now, I have to find a balance between the two because it is important for my future."

Spain look so much better with Mata and Navas instead of Pedro and SIlva but Del Bosque insists on thetiki-taka nonsense.

Has opted not to undergo surgery on his shoulder to be able to play in preseason. "I want to be part of the pre-season with Chelsea, and I hope that I can do well enough to stay there and not go out on loan again." http://www.kickoff.com/news/35324/nigeria-defender-kenneth-omeruo-has-opted-to-forgo-surgery-to-take-part-in-chelseas-pre-season Love his attitude.

Well for me it's spring

Still not exactly unbearably hot. I thought he did very well yesterday. Definitely one of Spain's better players while he was still on the pitch.

Oh, Mata. You have to bury that..

Well I'm sorry to tell you that your friend is probably trolling you since Chalobah has been in Dubai since the 20th In fact, I don't think he has been to London since Jose has been confirmed. He was in Israel for the U21 Euro then, I think, he went straight to Dubai for vacation from there.

I never heard him complain. Again, as far as I'm concerned, the best thing for Chelsea is that he does not start and risk exhaustion and injury.

Better question is, why are Chelsea fans mad about it? He's played an insane amount of games this season. I am very happy to see him getting some rest.

Heat? It's winter in Brazil!

'Better' Belgian side? Didn't his team just miss out on the tittle to Anderlecht last season?

Errm...Nathanial is currently in Dubai. Check his twitter account.

Maggio* He missed both of Italy's best chances so far.

Italy will lose. You don't miss this much chances against Spain and not get punished!
