Now why didn't I just listen to your warnings and stay away from that link? Serves them banned cunts right to have to watch that though.

Maybe we should just withdraw the bid as the cunt seems to be injured all the time.

He failed to impress against Seattle Sounders and PSG. At times it looked like he was trying too hard to impress and ended up being disappointing. If memory serves, he also used to complain about Di Matteo playing him out of position (at RW). Back then he was still a raw youngster with no real experience and that's why he was loaned to Werder Bremen, to allow him to take the next step in his career and he went on to exceed everyone's expectations which confirms it was the right decision to loan him out. He became more versatile, more consistent and also got a taste of what it's like to play against the top teams. Playing for Werder Bremen as well as for Belgium really has done his confidence a lot of good and instead of the afraid looking young boy we now have a real star player on our hands, I don't believe for a second he would have turned out to be this good this fast if he had stayed at Chelsea last season. Expecting magnificent things from this lad.

No one is overtaking anything, it's a squad game and every player has an important role in the team. For now let's just be happy we've replaced Benayoun and Marin with KdB and Schürrle, as well as got more depth in other areas too.

BBC reporting that the new bid was £25m upfront and £5m add-ons. Reckon £30m + add-ons will do the trick once Rooney has submitted a transfer request.

Not a bad pre-season so far, eh? 5 wins in 5 with a goal difference of 17 to 2. KdB, MvG, Azpi and Courtois, where the hell do the Chelsea board keep finding these guys for around the £7m mark? That really is some amazing business done these past couple of year and we can all be very proud of the club right about now. No more infamous record-breaking flop signings but instead cheap youngsters who are ready to make an immediate impact and can offer the club over ten years of service if everything works out.

Torres ffs

Ramires shooting from outside the penalty area is soo frustrating!

Is it just me or has Oscar been playing slightly deeper than usual today?

Some whispers coming from Spain that the club have today rejected a loan offer from Valencia for Torres. Just finish the Rooney deal and offload this cunt, even on loan. A loan to a Spanish club could potentially be excellent for us. If he succeeded, it would be much easier to sell him next year for a half decent amount but if he stays and sits on the bench we're even more fucked with him than we are now.

Nice, been a while since we last had opposition views. Some sensible lads with a decent attitude towards the Chels, unlike the English opposition fans.

135 USD for the season, 50 USD for three months or 19 USD per month. Here's what they're broadcasting across 10 channels: American MLS Argentinean Primera División Brazilian Série A Copa Sudamericana Dutch Eredivisie English Championship (inc 3pm Saturday) English FA Cup English League Cup English Premier League (inc 3pm Saturday) Euro's French Ligue 1 German Cup International Friendlies (inc England Games) Italian Cup (Copa Italia) Italian Serie A Mexican Primera División Russian Premier League Scottish Premier League Spanish Copa Del Rey Spanish Primera División Swiss Super League UEFA Champion's League UEFA Europa Cup World Club Championships World Cup Qualifiers Not bad if everything works according to plans but so far I've only watched the Chelsea - Inter game and can't say much yet.

Looks good and reasonably priced too but I decided to go with Al Jazeera after they announced they'll be updating most of their channels to HD quality (+4Mbs bitrate) before the new season starts. Four games simultaneously would be much better than Al Jazeera's one at a time but I guess having so many more competitions in addition to the Premier League such as the Champions League and the English cup competitions edges it for me. But thanks for the advice anyway, will definitely try that one if Al Jazeera doesn't live up to expectations but so far it's been decent.

So? Hazard, Mata, Oscar, De Bruyne and Schürrle will most likely always be ahead of him no matter which of the three positions behind the striker and we might even have Rooney coming in before the window closes and he would provide even more options for the attacking midfielder department (while of course playing the majority of games up front). That would make Moses somewhere between sixth and seventh choice and even with heavy rotation there wouldn't be that much games available for him to play and for a player like that £9m is a lot of money if the board decided that the money could be spent more wisely on someone else, namely a midfielder. Don't get me wrong, I really don't mind Moses staying as a squad player but he really isn't that much needed either so whichever option the board and Mourinho decide to go with I'll be happy. That being said, he had an amazing game last night. More of the same and he'll definitely give Mourinho a nice little problem of deciding who to play with so many good options available but if he stays he really needs to be more consistent. He can have a blinder one day and in the next game makes a half-arsed Benayoun look like Messi.

Van Ginkel the obvious choice for man of the match, he was everywhere! Moses close second though. I've reserved my judgement thus far regarding Essien because to be honest the opponents in the Asia tour were a joke but last night was his first match against a half decent opposition and he still looked amazing. He could still be a great asset to the team if he stays fit and based on his performances in pre-season I want him to stay and fight for his place in the team. Been going on about wanting to sell him but I promise I'll be the first to eat the humble pie if he stays and plays even half as good as he once used to! Not saying he's back to his best or anything because we have to be realistic and accept the fact it's not happening but even a bad Essien can still be a useful player and due to his versatility an important part of the squad.

The Lukaku bashing has started already? Jesus Christ, some people.

What a goal, great build-up too.

£22m for Diego Costa would be the stupidest transfer seal since Andy Carroll for £35m. It seems Liverpool will stop at nothing to replace Suarez in every aspect, Diego Costa is a cunt of the highest order and also like Suarez been accused of racism (by Kondogbia).

Turnbull, read a few pages back.

Sure but it's not nice to stay indoors for 6-7 months straight and going outside means freezing my balls off every single time so it's not good either. Still three years of university left and then I'll start looking for work abroad, can't stand this weather anymore.

Stop bitching about the summer, people. If you think you have it bad, come visit me in Finland when it's -30 in a couple of months and I assure you won't be complaining about your own countries any more.

Just been informed that my amazing Premier League package consisting of 5 HD channels for only €50 annually has come to an end and from the upcoming season onwards the cunts are expecting me to pay €30 monthly for only two channels with shit coverage and probably only half of the Chelsea matches live due to the other clubs, namely Manchester United and Liverpool, being more popular in this country. Of course unlike the one I used to have this new package also includes some other football leagues which I don't watch regularly as well as other sports like ice hockey but I'm not interested in them and don't wish to pay for something I don't need. Which brings me to my question: is there some provider that offers a paid online subscription with good Premier League coverage? Doesn't matter if they're geoblocked or anything because I have a global VPN service which can get me through such restrictions but needs to be online only because obviously I can't subscribe to something that needs an address at said country. Was looking at Al Jazeera the other day and their coverage is amazing and the price is only $50 for the whole season but I have my doubts regarding the quality of their services. They have a free-to-air channel available and the quality there was horrible. Having gotten used to proper HD quality I really wouldn't want to pay for something that irritates me everytime I watch a game. They have HD channels there at Al Jazeera too but I can't try any of them because they need the subscription and I wouldn't want to subscribe before knowing the quality of the services they're offering. Is there anyone with experience of Al Jazeera Sport online or does anyone know some other service providers that I could look at?

Me too, although I would prefer Luiz Gustavo ahead of both and he looks to be available from Bayern who are stacked in miefield too. And obviously my first choice De Rossi but that deal looks dead in the water. Like hell they do. The only one who rated Khedira in Madrid was Mourinho and I can see them getting rid of him now that Jose is gone. The local media absolutely hate Khedira and a lot of their fans are easily brainwashed my Marca etc. to think he's shit. He's actually a pretty good DM in my opinion, I just don't want to see him at Chelsea.

A loan deal for Jonathan dos Santos was on the cards when Tito Vilanova was still at Barcelona but now their new manager Gerardo Martino has said he wants to keep him and Real Sociedad have supposedly then turned to McEachran as the alternative. The Chelsea board need to wait and see whether Martino really wants to keep JdS or just see the player train under him before making the decision because Real Sociedad could still get him in the transfer window if Barcelona decided to loan him out after all and it could potentially be Swansea all over again if they got both him and Josh and one of them were to sit on the bench most of the time.

A loan deal? I've always thought the La Liga would be the best fit for McEachran because there he could focus on improving his playmaking abilities instead of having to worry about the physical side of his game too much as that can be done later when he's more ready in other aspects. Real Sociedad have just lost their key midfielder Asier Illarramendi to Real Madrid and there could be an opening in the starting lineup but I'm not going to pretend I'm an expert on their team because I really haven't watched them that much and I don't know for sure how good their other midfielders and and what kind of football their new manager prefers. No point sending Josh on another Swansea-like loan where he's stuck on the bench but if they promised him regular first team football it could be a perfect opportunity for him to take the next step in his career because they really are a quality team and there is even the possibility of playing in the Champions League too if they can get through the qualifiers.
