What's happening with his contract?

Willian and Luiz got a yellow in the first leg

He better be avaliable. Luiz, Ivan and Willian are suspended for the semi.

Ozil is injured

Of course he's going to deny it.. it is illegal you know.. If Courtois refuses to sign a contract extension/ or refuses to go to any club bar madrid, what would you do? Do you carry on sending him out on loan till his contract runs out?

Person who broke this story is apparently really trusted + He's an athletico madrid fan so no reason for him to try and ruin their season.... If this is true, i'd just throw his in the reserves for the remainder of his contract.

Respect your opinion, but you can see why the majority of Chelsea fans would want shaw, even if Rodriguez is better at this very moment.

Well I'm glad your not Incharge of transfers and mourinho is. He recently said that an English core is important and he's looking to replace lampard, cole etc in the future

Because we need homegrown players and we're not developing anyone ourselves... Same can be said for Rodriguez. How do we know he'll adapt to the English game? You seem to forget that he struggled a lot when he first joined wolfsburg.

When was the last time a homegrown player was developed by us who was consistently a squad player? Bertrand? In what, 10 years....

So you expect us to buy average English players to sit on the bench? Rodriguez will be sold for £20m+. Wolfsburg isn't a club in financial trouble.

We need homegrown players... Do you not understand? Cole and lampard are probably going to leave at the end of the season... Who do you expect us to buy to fill the quota?

Willian, Oscar, Luiz and Ramires will be flying to south africa for international duty.....

Let lampard take it! ffs.

That's what you get for playing willian/oscar/hazard for most of the season without rotating.

We're paying oscar/hazard/wilian far to much.. Do we even rotate our front 4 anymore?

Wouldn't be that bothered if we get bayern in the next round. They play a suicide high line and there's no doubt jose will take advantage of this.

Wait, does this mean if he wins everything at chelsea, he'll think about leaving or if he wins nothing, he'll probably leave?

What is the point of Mikel in this game? I like him and rate him as a player, but we're not under any sort of pressure, west ham aren't trying to score. So he's basically useless in this game...

I doubt it. Will probably be Lampard + Ramires.

I really like the look of chambers, as well. Shame he's a right back.

Had a decent game today

Shaw sets up southamptons first goal

Didn't United offer more to Southampton regarding Bale? But they sold him to Tottenham anyways.

If shaw only wants chelsea we won't need to get into a bidding war with united. Offer something reasonable but not excessive, and he's ours, in my opinion.
