Is it his England debut? Wasn't he called for a previous friendly? Or was that Danny?

Yes but they just signed Rosenberg as well which still probably makes Romelu their third choice striker. I hope I am wrong, but I think this loan will be pretty much like the Josh to Swansea one.

Funny. Especially that we could/should have completed the double over them if it wasn't for some poor decisions from both Essien and the ref.

I'm confused. Is he, or is he not cup tied for the CL?

We have long established that here at CFC a player's profile is more important than his ability. Piazon was being labeled the new Kaka and chased by all the big club in Europe when we signed him, that's why he will get a chance before any talents from our own academy. The same goes for Lukaku who was unfairly chosen in our preseason matches over Patrick Bamford who was doing much better than Lukaku in the reserves.

At least watch him before passing judgement. He was, by far, the best right back in Serie A last season and is absolutely CRUCIAL for Juve's play. Very solid at the back, attacks like a winger, and has a JT-like mentality. I honestly rate him as one of the best RBs in the world, but we are more likely to sign Messi.

No reason why he can't still do all of the above. As LDN pointed our, getting him "registered" doesn't mean a lot.

First, don't even joke about that! Second,Conte won't be leaving; he just won't be on the sidelines during games or in press conferences.

That can be changed easily. His natural strikers instinct, however, is not something that can be earned.

A fitting reward after being one of, if not the best player for team GB in the Olympics. Congrats to him; I, as a Chelsea fan, cannot be any prouder of him.

We need to get this loan right. We don't want a repeat of the Kakuta and Josh loans. I think the best option is Wigan because he will almost certainly be guaranteed a starting place. Not too sure we can say the same about Westbrom even if Odemwengie leaves, they still have Long and Rosenberg.

He is right footed. I have a simpler solution for Marko to cross instead of cutting inside: How about someone, preferably a striker, makes a descent run in the box when a winger has the ball on the flanks?

Danny isn't going anywhere. I'd bet my house on it (I don't have a house, though ). This is his season. He will be the one to take the main striker's role in the team after Torres fucks up again.

Actually, I've always thought that he is better as a striker. His movement in the box is too good for his age. He showed that in the preseason tour.

This has been going on for more than 18 months. When will we realize that this "discussion" is futile? I imagine us still fighting about Torres, using almost exactly the same words as in the above posts one year from now.

The FA to make a sensible decision.

That was pure class!

Wigan would be ideal. Their best striker is Di Santo

Not too sure about that. Cech, unfortunately, had a lot more injuries than the average keeper.

The definition of parking the bus is what we did against Barcelona at the Camp Nou.

It was just a small knock. I'm sure he's fine now.

Impossible, Mikel is just some random guy playing for us because we have no one else to play I said it last season and I'll continue to say it until it becomes untrue: Along with Song, Mikel is the best DM in the league.

That's his best position imo. But I don't see us playing a diamond anytime soon.

Oh the irony...
