Fantastic news. Club is really on the top atm.

Shaw would have been a great signing bar for his astronomical wages. Paying a 19 year old 100k a week after the fantastic business already done in the transfer window would have been a great shame. That, and the £30m fee for a player who had one full season in the Premiership makes no sense. Seeing as the defensive side of his game is very very questionable.

I do believe bringing the English identity back to the football club is essential to Jose, and it will come in time with the introduction of young players and buying young English targets in future transfer markets, But the most important thing was to bring our Starting 11 and bench to a world class level first. We must be patient, as the integrating of young players will only be successful with managerial stability at this club it seems.

Hull doing the smart business. Mo Diame and Abel Hernandez in.

Smiling from ear to ear. A proud day to be a Chelsea fan. Drogba is back and Torres is gone.

I for one think this would be a fantastic signing. Thought Liverpool got a good player when they were meant to get him. Intelligent player, Makes excellent runs, and can finish aswell. Good player to bring on when the legs are tired, and, touch wood, were Costa to get injured, I wouldn't mind seeing us go two up top with Drogba and Remy. Think they'd link up well, with Drogba on the shoulder with Remy behind running the channels.

Can we do a deal where as if they take him by Thursday we'll throw in Marko Marin?

He's been a cancer in our finance department. £50m fee and £180k a week for a striker who 9 times out of 10 will fuck up a chance. Please god leave, and let us close the book on this horrendous couple of years with that fucking pussy upfront. Doesn't fight for the shirt and bitched and moaned after we won the Champions League, and 180k a week for a third choice striker is poor business.

Please holy god make it permanent. One step closer to the right direction, the cancer is gone.

Mutu was on coke though.

Would really appreciate if someone could PM me the fantasy codes to me ASAP, Working at 2 so don't really want to stay up much longer!

Mourinho to throw a curveball and start Schwarzer in goal

I'd like to see Tibo Azpi - Cahill - JT - Luis Matic - Fabregas Schurrle - Hazard - Willian Costa I just do not believe Oscar is the man to play the #10 role. Since Mata left, he has had one good game (against Arsenal) but no other comes to mind. A long way to go from the finished article, and always looks kind of nervous in possession. Ever since Andre Schurrle came to Chelsea he has impressed me. Think if we give him the starting time along with Fabregas and Matic playing quick balls from midfield and he could get over 20. Costa is the perfect striker for us because as a front man he does everything. He runs into channels, drops deep, links up with his wide men, but he can also bully a center half, aggressive running, aggressive with the ball. The key for me is his quality around the box, his finishing, not the quickest but will always make himself that yard of pace and stick it in the back of the net. Genuinely cannot wait for Monday night. Going into this season with every reason to believe its going to be a good one. Fantastic business in the transfer market. Jose doesn't lose with this kind of team.

Does anyone actually think he'll get game time for City? Lets be fair, he's past it.

It feels great to have someone who will physically kick the shit out of a defender then that Spanish ladyboy who wouldn't want to ruin his hair or nails. Looked great today, and great presence of mind to pick out Salah and Ivanovic.Think he'll back a couple at Burnley. Bring it fucking on.

CESC! What a free kick!

Your point still stands, kinda Big clubs don't get Umbro to make their kits.

Good Riddance. Couldn't wait and actually play for the club. Talking shit in the media the whole time, don't need that here.

People can say he should have left us with his last kick of the ball winning us the Champions League, well he's back now, and who's to say it won't happen again? Decent man to bring in when we're looking for a goal and need someone in the air. I'll go bonkers if he gets a late winner this season, and he is most defiantly going on the back of my shirt.

This guy is gonna be great. Finally we have a bit of character up front. World class striker too. The type we need, hopefully he hits the ground running nice and early.

Good signing. One of the best left back in the world at the minute and with him and Azpi makes both our wing backs players who never give up and will always give everything for the team. Jose has played a blinder in the market so far, so this has allowed him to splash out more on a player who is 29. But the key fundamentals of this transfer are. 1. Is he a top player in his position? Yes. 2. Is this where we are lacking quality? Yes. We're shaping up nicely for next season.

Should have been given more but thats life. What a horrible little cunt he is, Would love to see JT give him a legbreaker right infront of the kop

and he hasn't bitten anyone yet.

Lol, good times

HOLY SHIT ITS JUST ANNOUNCED!!
