DoubleO

Feeling the buzz already... Cmon Chelsea! My lineup for today: ---------Diego Costa---------- --Hazard---Oscar---Willian-- ------Matic--Fabregas-------- --Azpi---Terry---Cahill---Iva-- -----------Courtois------------

I had forgotten how good it feels when you have a striker in your squad who you can expect to score in every match. Last time this happened was in 09-10 when Didier was in his prime. 5 long years, but finally we have an excellent striker. The season is long and I would be surprised if Diego wouldn't have difficult weeks without goals, but the start he's made has been brilliant and it's delightful to see him playing for us!

Gotta love him! What an attitude! Ok, the card was a bit stupid, but he kept his nerve after that.

No reason to get carried away because it's just pre-season, but Diego Costa has looked very sharp. Let's hope it continues!

WOW!

I really don't get this one... Why Frank? Of course he is still a legend, but it's disgusting to see him in a City shirt.

"he doesn't get any service"

Niiiiiceeeeeee

Wow, he's a totally different player in that Belgium squad. No speed, 1on1-challenging and other things which make him so great at Chelsea. Even though he hasn't had a great World Cup individually, I have no doubts that he will be back to himself as the season in England starts!

Undoubtedly Diego Costa has his own weaknesses. His technique is not as good as most of his colleagues in the best European leagues. Nevertheless, I praise his attitude and willingness to score in every match. We absolutely need a poacher like him who can simply put the ball into the net. He's quite fast and strong, and there's no need to mention that he is a very clinical player. I just hope our physios keep up the good work so that Costa's season won't start like the previous season ended at Atletico... Anyways, welcome Diego! So excited about the next season and there's still plenty of time to make some transfers if José thinks we need them. Filipe Luis and Tiago maybe? Anyways, this transfer window has been nice for us so far!

Best: CL-spring 2014, and of course the final! Worst: Moscow 2008, Chelsea-Barca 2nd leg 2009.

gotta admit I didn't want him, but after all, I understand why José wanted him. he can play CDM/CM/CAM, he's an experienced player but still only 27, we got him for a reasonable price, he has PL experience (and Wenger must be SO gutted) and of course, he still has a lot of motivation as he hasn't won PL or CL. Big expectations.....

soooo suprising that everyone are praising him now. knew he's going to be play a huge tournament... few weeks ago people wanted him out

If we would've kept Lampard, the media would say "the team is too old". But now when we let him go, they blame José and the board .

Knew this day would come, but it still makes me sad. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, FRANK LAMPARD!

He'll be superb in the World Cup, and he's only 22. Do not sell him, he will be a huge player for us. Remember the start of the season?

Please Mr. Abramovich, stop this nightmare. Just sack him (Torres)

what a deal for us! thanks PSG

don't want him anywhere near Chelsea.

This is how far I read.

Good bye Ashley, Luiz and Eto'o! The list might be even longer, but we'll see. Will miss him

Good bye Luiz. A great personality, but I think he will be better in the Spanish League.

Not to mention AVB's boring 4-3-3.... always.
