Cech will captain the side, then.

Fucking love Twitter on deadline day, apparently we're signing Philip Lahm

We wouldn't just hand out rigid roles and stick with them, because we want as much variation as we possibly can - it just keeps things more interesting that way. We just want to use this as a gauge of how interested others are in getting involved.

Only an hour late... an improvement.

Hi all, A number of us are very interested in making the TalkChelsea Show a reality, but we need your opinions. Please take the time to fill out the above poll form! We need to know whether you guys would prefer full-length podcast-style broadcasts, or quickfire bulletins, or maybe even a combination of the both, as well as what kind of content you'd like to see included. Furthermore if you are serious in taking part yourself, please highlight which areas you would be interested in. Thanks!

Agreed, given a listen to it and I like it. If we can get it scripted then this could definitely be something of a success.

I would have loved him to join the club, always loved him... but this is 2012 now, not 2006... he's too old!

Even my optimism knows its bounds

Chelsea have today completed the signing of Kevin de Bruyne from KRC Genk on a 5.5-year-long contract. The winger will be loaned back to the Belgian champions until June, at which point he will begin his career with the Blues. Click here to view the article.

Confirmed -

KRC Genk have confirmed that Belgian star-in-the-making Kevin de Bruyne is transferring to Chelsea on a five-and-a-half-year contract. The Belgian, who has featured heavily in Genk's Champions League campaign this term, has long been touted to join the Blues having been an apparent target of the West London outfit since the Summer. In a statement on their club website, the defending Belgian champions confirmed that de Bruyne completed his deal in the early hours of this morning after passing a medical in London on Monday. He will now return to Belgium and complete the rest of the season with Genk, as Chelsea have agreed to loan the wing prodigy back to Mario Been's side, who sit sixth in their domestic league. It is expected that de Bruyne will explain his intentions to leave in the summer sometime later this week. Everyone at TalkChelsea welcomes Kevin and hopes he enjoys a productive spell back in Belgium before joining up with his new club in the summer. Click here to view the article

Obviously been called up to make up the numbers with Ramires out. Not unexpected considering the money we paid.

Look how the attitude has changed on here, as we prepare to play Real Madrid Swansea. This will be a hard game, but we have won harder ones this season.

I really do admire the optimism, but in my heart of hearts I just can't see it happening. It's far too late in the window for anything to happen, unless we offer ridiculous money.

We have a designated penalty taker every game, according to di Matteo, so I assume it was Mata's responsibility.

Best season ever, and I was old enough to enjoy it properly, whereas being a little younger for the 04/05 and 05/06 seasons it didn't really ever sink in.

Would love Leicester away as well.

Next City manager.

Not recently, but we have had early leads such a 4-0 HT lead against Bolton, for instance.

10x better option than Torres, Kalou scores goals.
