but again you as a club have no way of knowning a player is not going to be full value you for money its a risk you take when you sign any player.. the fact that every so often you pay excessive amounts of money for former world class players not taking their current form into consideration.. cause at one point kaka and torres were champions and world beaters i can see you calling them poor over the last 3 seasons they have been but its not them that increase market price its just natural inflation.. operation cost of clubs have gone up and in order to help with that and also to prevent big clubs poaching players they are now putting large release clauses in contracts.. its a business now

the 50m for Torres is hindsight man when you read his thread no one would have thought he would be as poor as he had been so you cant really say tie the two together... its like when you spend little on a player and they turn out to be fantastic every says oh what a brilliant signing for the money but you have no idea how it would turn out like marin we got him for a great price he has ben poor and not getting into the side so his purchase is considered a flop..

I don't get how before jose was really in the picture everyone was on board with terrys view as well as the boards view to make DL captain and now that there has been news that states Jose wants him gone everyone is now ok with sending him packing.. I love jose as much as the next guy but this is madness if we are going to turn into a selling club what does that say over players like oscar and hazard who still haven't proven they love chelsea like DL if the money is right get rid of them.. Ppl Mourinho is great but he is not Jesus lets be logical here

Its always been the bison for me if he can keep this form i say keep him

Ronaldo to chelsea with mourinho

I love and welcome the return of mourinho but I strongly dislike all this David Luiz to get the axe nonsense.. its very troubling

which players kid was that?

anyone have a video of the final lap? I'm at work and was unable to watch the second half

Precisely I knew you weren't speaking to me directly its just the fact that I know I have said he should be loaned to PL team.. But as we both agree this situation needs to be handled with the upmost care cause this kid is for sure UEFA Gold Glove Winner

I know I am championing the loan to PL team because I don't see him taking Cech's #1 spot next season and why waste a year of playing week in and week out to play maybe 10PL games and cup games thats not going to give him match sharpness.. Everyone says hes quality but we just want to deal with the whole GK situation the right way

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..
