congrats to frank ... played his way into contract extension i just hope this will be another great year for him then he steps away from the game...can't see him playing anywhere else but don't really want another contract saga either

not saying he is the reason cause there were so many other factors but since we have signed him we have won both major european trophies

will have to come out there for a few matches next season and support the lads with you lot then

what part of the city is this scallywags i didnt know it even exsisted

and we didn't think he could carry us to europa league title fair play to nando for being fired up for this european championship but now he can kindly leave that would be the best summer transfer news

Sorry to go back and quote this but something like this is how i feel the club should deal with the Cech and Courtois situation @Alex you have this spot on everyone stating Cech has 6-7 years remaining at a top level are blinded by the fact this man has been a legend for this club.. Can speak multiple different languages so converse with teammates from all over and a top class person as well you don't find that very often. IMHO Cech has 2-3 years left at his very best before we see a sharp decline.. He has been beaten and playing injured for over 2 seasons now and at 30 he doesn't have the same spring he did even 3 seasons ago.. An arrangement as listed above would get the best out of petr but also lengthen his career as well as giving thibault PL experience. I think why the club has loaned him out for so long already is because they believe in him to be the replacement long term for Cech but don't want to mess it up and get it wrong like we have done in the past with some very bright prospects

thats torres from athletico haircut.. he is trying everything he can think of to recapture form LOL its not going to work Nando

Of course there is especially if he wants to be a chelsea blue.. as stated before very talented no doubt but we have to manage the career of the player as well as the well being of the team cause when it comes down to it its always team first and in such a crucial position you dont just give up someone who holds 142 clean sheets in the PL to give the number 1 job to someone who is still making a name for himself

We all understand your patriotism towards your fellow belgian but if you think he is going to come into chelsea and bpl anot not concede silly goals vs big teams like stoke you are fooling yourself... even someone as experienced as check has had issues dealing with teams with massive players who stand on his toes and cech is phyiscally in mass a bigger player the courtois.. I do not know why you are being so defensive about this issue no one here is stating that courtois is not a fantastic young keeper but he has a lot to learn about the BPL before he takes over at a team fighting for league glory as well as glory on all other fronts... maybe you got caught up on the bottom 5 of PL but really we need him in a team in england where he can be tested more than what he is getting in la liga..

that means oscar also gets the assist

Bamford is not doing to bad in his loan

keep the updates coming.. not able to watch while at work

everyone is pissed now with dropping that news

link?

Read somewhere this morning that we are after PSV Kevin Strootman i think this would be an emmense buy not only can he play cdm but cm as well.. great technical ability and engine and is currently the captain of the dutch reserves as well as PSV..

don't want to take away from the pic and the goal but Hazard celebration looks very suspect lol

right there with you man def shed a tear when it hit the back of the net and i realized it was him... what a legend! give him whatever he wants 5 years 250K! great servant of this club!

3 games left of this unfunny joke right?

that team could def compete at a high level in CL

i like this x 1000

I agree with this but realistically could care less where he plays as long as he is on the pitch,two way player that can create and finish.. I know the board has effed up a lot but not this signing :getin: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

I don't get how our own supporters can be upset at DL for smirking not more than a few games ago Mata was taken down in the box and when he got up smirked and winked at Hazard and no one said anything then but oh wait.. we hold Mata to a different standard over DL who has rekindled the fire in the team for the last few months... yes he probably could have not smirked fine but who cares what the media thinks of him they already think our team is a joke by the way we sack managers and our "negative football" win of the Champions League

I loved his combative nature shown to day sliding challenges and out muscling the man you midfielders on a couple of occasions and of course popping up at the right time to play the pass to Mata.. solid from him today

read that and started crying with laughter when i saw that in there lol

howard webb goes over to evra to check and make sure his teammate is alright.. thats when you know the game is fixed!
