Now all we need is a Tyson Fury joke! :-)

Sky Sports News have been reporting it all day. Now that doesn't make the transfer a dead cert but the link is quite reliable.

Nothing and I mean absolutely nothing, not one microscopic molecule of Fernando Torres existance justifies the fact she still wears a Chelsea shirt.

Yea?... would you rather I used a different word...like cracking or excellent?..

God only knows what goes on behind the scenes but one thing is for sure tou can trust the word from Franks own mouth. When interviewed after the game against Southampton he stated that he hadn't been in any talks about his future thus far. I think if something has emerged like the papers are stating he will let us know in his next interview.

You had to laugh when Gaston Ramirez chose to join Southampton over Liverpool in the summer and now reports suggesting Pool are to lose out on Davide Astori to The Saints again...lol

You see a lot of people forget that he played nearly every game for Brazil in their Olympic Games run and it is starting to show in his performances. He is a young and exhuberant player who is in need of rest. His start to his Chelsea career was fantastic and we should expect to see a lot more of the same and better next season when he is fully intergrated with life at Chelsea. Soo many moaners expecting him to produce magic in every performance in his first season after such a busy schedule are just spoiled fans who should take this into consideration.

In the short time I have seen Hazard play the no.10 role he hasn't nearly been as half as effective as Mata in the same role. As for Oscar, he simply isn't ready to consistantly carry the team in times of need.YET. If you really feel that we are not in need of another no.10 then you Sir are one crazy son of a gun. :-)

I didn't even think to take wages in to consideration. Reading the origianl post I realize how tired I am. Bedtime me thinks.

Cavani is pure class. Plays with that 'my shit don't stink' swagger that some players are born with and very few can pull off. Cavani is the later but earlier I did hear a rumour on SS2 that Athletico Madrid are looking to put a bid in for him in replacement of Falcao. When they sell Falcao they will certainly have the readies.

I personally think with Mikel as a single DM with Oscar and Luiz/rami as LCM and RCM with Hazard and Moses on wings and BA lone striker would be the best way for us to set up when Mata is rested.

That's a good point made. We have too many young players as it is, I'm not even sure if this rumour has any substance at all so it really is hypothetically speaking. I do think we need a player to rotate with Mata though, with taking your point of having too many young players into consideration then maybe we should look at more experienced and matured mid. Cazorla would have been ideal.

Man U over-stack with strikers, we shall over-stack with midfielders. Besides I can't see how anyone would not consider us needing a cental attacking midfielder unnecessary. Mata can't play every game of the season and at the moment when he isn't playing we don't seem to have a player who can step up with the same impact. Mata might be fresh for a long period of the season but with still The F.A Cup, League Cup, Europa League and potentially the Prem all still in with a chance of winning, we need someone else. Hazard doesnt seem to have the same effect centrally as he does on the wings. Though he has great vision and quick feet, he doesn't seem to controll the central area with being in the right place at the right time like Mata does. Oscar clearly needs more time to develop to his surroundings and Piazon is inexperienced. So if buying a player like Isco is the centrally attacking player we are in need of to rotate with Mata then i can't see how it would be a move that any fan would disagree with.

I hate the ACON, soo bloody inconvenient. Moses has played soo well since arriving and doesn't look at all out of place in a Chelsea shirt.

Hahaha priceless. I bet 90% of that crap will be passing around most British building sites today with all tradesmen thinking they know a thing or two about what's going on in the Jan transfer window. You see it's a fact, bullshit sells.

No don't think he haven't!!

Don't know much about this guy but I do agree that it is quite worrying how different as an attacking force we are without Mata. Somebody needs to step up.

'Mou's preference for Benzema' isn't by mistake. It's because Higuain isn't as clinical as he was once, yea he is a class striker but Benzema delivers in the big games when called upon. Higuain wastes too many chances, you only have to look at RM's season last year to see it happening.

Could say a lot about BA's excellent debut and for the simple fact that he has made a million and one Chelsea fans happy today, I gave him my vote. Having said that today's game belonged to Frank for reaching the 193 goals landmark, the second highest goalscorer in Chelsea history and all from midfield. Legendary status forever more.

Fantastic début BA. It's amazing how much difference a striker can make when they make runs of the shoulders of defenders. I was watching Premier League Years 10/11 last night and it was showing Torres doing the same for Liverpool and he was running at the same pace as he does now, God knows why he doesn't do it any more. Anyway now BA should be our starting striker without a shadow of a doubt for every game possible until the end of the season. If we do then maybe, just maybe we might grab some trophies at the end of the season.

Just watching the Premier League Years 09/10 and my word Drogba you absolute beast of a football player..!

Everybody over analyzing football again. Just give the striker the ball and he should put it in the net weather he takes 10,000 touches or 2. A strikers job is to score, end of, something both Falcao and Lewandowski do very well.

Thank God we didn't sign Villa. I don't think I could stomach another Spanish poof in our squad. We want geezers like the BA.

Bravo! ... That's easily top of the pops material! :-D

Sorry Hutcho but this post is far too serious and actually about BA. Can't you see the title of the thread says, 'Enter and abuse Torres then make a shocking song up with BA's name in it on the way out' ??
