Fernando

according to @Tomo, this is not true since he gives youth a chance.... He will tell you how he gave sporadically games to Huth and other younger players in his time.... Giving a game to people like Kalas in one big game ain't that great if it's not back with sustain game time. Bertrand played an important game in CL final, but then what at Chelsea? So just because Mourinho gives a player a game here and there don't mean much to me or the impact of the player. Has to be a sustained timing like he has done with Oscar.

Well that's what I feel like it might happen. A season where we should have integrated youth but we don't. Instead we continue using the same lineup and fatiguing ourselves. And thus it will more then likely cost us. Then mourinho will get angry with the board, and then the board worried because Mourinho lack of youth involvement.... In the end a manager the wants to stay for a long time must take risks! If Mourinho indeed is here for just 3 to 4 years before he gets into a schism with the board/owner then he will not care much about youth integration.

Don't think people should blame the board about transfer. I think this season is when Mourinho most gamble on youth. Simple as that. If not we are not going to get anywhere.

Why have two type of home shirts? What's the difference?

Hmmmm I know the lady got out of line. But still the response of Mourinho seems even less. Didn't seem that great...

Yeah people are ridiculous. Is like when people say they don't like Martinez because the way hes acting, I'm like really? Hello look at who we have managing and how he acts and says? Double standard at it's finest.

Has been playing for Brazil in the Panamericanos games.

Hence the reason I want to see him in the EPL weather it be City, United, Liverpool etc etc. I want to see what he is all about. If he is the real deal, or another of those players that do good in the Bundesliga and fail outside? And if he does make us regret it when at EPL then it will be good. As it would make us act more carefully next time.

Well I believe the attitude of rlc might be because of Mourinho hyping him up before.... But it's all good, I think the kid can come thru.

I believe this is true but its's more like a combination of both. Because of wc and also because he didn't had the patience.

This is true but I'm baffled that kalas went with it. He was talking before how he was not happy.

Well people can't have it both way. We can't buy new players and then expect to give chance to younger players. It just doesn't work that way. One season you have to take a stand and it has to be this season after winning the PL last season. It's a gamble worth taking. Just as long as we stick to that idea till the end of the season. Not just try the young player in one game or one "big important game" and think that is enough...... Sustain game time is the key as we have seen for a player like KDB.

Mikel mark 2?

People are ridiculous freaking out over a pre season match. I didn't even watch it and even after looking at the score I didn't care. Because you know what? Pre season means nothing. It's just there to help your players get in shape. A training session nothing more.

Maybe we are going to give a shot to young and fringe players as this article puts it:http://www.espnfc.us/club/chelsea/363/blog/post/2531871/chelsea-will-rely-on-youth-and-fringe-without-more-signings I have no problem with this just as long we do give them a sustained period. Meaning not just give them one game here and there and that's that. If we don't that and spend most of the time with the same eleven with little rotation then it will cost us.

Yeah I also don't care if he goes to City. In fact I rather see him there to see what's he is all about. Make us regret that we sold him would be good for us. It would make us think twice before selling a player. If not he will just turn out to be another of those players that do well in Bundesliga but bad in EPL....

I will not mind finishing second only if we gamble on youth. I mean giving them a real go like traore, rlc and such. Not just one game here and there and nothing sustained. Other then that, I expect us to win it again it this season.

I still think the buy it's worth it. If we don't win the tittle I will still prefer City over United. Nobody cares if City wins. United is too powerful and the more market share Chelsea and City take away the better.

So I take it you don't like Mourinho neither because he's a hypocrite as well?

I like this buy if it's true. However he will need half a season to get his game like Willian. Needs to adjust from the lower league level that is Russia to hear. So don't expect him to be any good for the first couple of months.

Would be great to have Terry and stone this year so the boy can learn from the best before he's gone.

Yeah just let him go back to Atletico. And if he does, it was great having him for us.

Looks like Everton getting the money they gave us for lukaku...

I actually like the new home kit. I think it might be the first Chelsea kit I would wear that would look great with jeans. The style is very nice.

Yeah no chance if we want him. And then we will hear the line from Rodgers "we was never interested in him".
