Hard to call Dzeko a flop when he scored six times the amount of goals Torres did, in four less matches.

I'll continue with my opinion Essien has become surplus to requirements; hence if we want to go down a route of playing sexy football, we don't need a beast.

If Lampard/Ramires gets injured, I'd rather see him playing there than Zhirkov or Malouda. Just saying - perfect squad signing.

Why was your visit not so good?

Reckon he fancies some Madmax loving... @Justin, I would imagine both of them will be given some time off and will feature in the Rangers friendly only.

JT usually does...

Your contribution does not go unnoticed. However your juvenile behaviour does not skip our attentions either. Grow up, or go.

Yossi is a wonderful, inventive player and certainly just what we need. But what people seem to want - namely miracles - he cannot provide alone. He is certainly one of our better options at the minute.

This. Terminator X, whether being serious or not, you tried to incite a flame war.

No need for this topic then.

ITS NICE!

I would like to make something perfectly clear - I have warned Terminator X for his conduct and for his constant childish behaviour. His attempts to provoke a reaction out of Jaimin have done nothing but made him look juvenile and immature, which is a shame; I thought he'd wizened up a little. This is just to say that anyone who attempts to goad another member into starting a flame war will be reprimanded, it is simply childish and stupid. This is a universal forum for people of all ages, and we have some moron thinking he is 'it' and cannot stand the shocking insult of not being a TalkChelsea 'legend.' Personally I think it's laughable and pathetic. It's a shame that as an Admin of a forum you have to do this sort of thing. You'd think people would have the respect and maturity not to act like complete morons.

Absolutely. City have got the money and are monopolising European football. We did the same and this is a taste of our own medicine. The difference is we can still compete.

Oh of course I agree with you there! The sooner the better! All I'm saying is, we have a number of fans who are getting fed up with the club, saying we're falling behind the opposition - we're not, we're just taking our damned time! I have absolute faith in Andre though!

You miss my point. People want signings now, I trust Andre to make the signings he feels we need.

If that's the case they can go into fostering.

So, we know the following: TC has seen both Chelsea and Genk agree a fee for the player, believed to be £7.9 million.He is today undergoing the second part of his medical at Cobham - meaning personal terms will be agreed shortly.Latest rumour has it that he is to go out on loan to Atletico Madrid - possibly for two-three seasons. "...Chelsea will lend me the first year and it is likely to Atletico Madrid. I must normally be my first chance as goalkeeper. Depending on my performance, I will maybe half and third years to borrow then be included in the core at Chelsea. " http://translate.goo...a0-44bf8109e6ca

Correct, he has a three-game ban. Looks like we're stuck with el Nino then!

People have become demoralised with our transfer season, but that is because they are being impatient. AVB has needed time to assess what options he has - we will make signings this summer, just be patient. In AVB I trust.

I don't agree with people saying we should not sign Lukaku simply because we already have Drogba. Didier is not the player he was, and of course he is sooner or later going to move on. That means we will need our Plan B - if our 'beautiful football' fails then Lukaku is the perfect replacement. It makes sense to build for the future and a forward line boasting three strikes like Torres, Lukaku and Sturridge offers a range of talents; strength, pace and poise. Lukaku signing for this club would be an exciting and necessary acquisition.

Gonna miss this place! Those days as a 13 year old when I'd use my brothers ID for booze! Good times

Oh I forgot to do that Done.

Jim will no doubt do his best to keep us on WordPress but if all else fails I'll bear that in mind, thanks!!

I don't know why it has come back. I've removed it anyway.

Footballing legend who never really hit the big time with us. Still, 22 goals in 76 games isn't bad at all.
