+ We're getting a lot of $$$ from Yokohama Tyres, more than Samsung.

I'm sorry but we aren't spending because of one less sponsorship?!

This transfer is approaching that boring zone, if not already. :yawn: There's only 3 weeks left in the transfer window and yet, we are still operating at a snail pace. If we want Stones, just pay 30-35m and get him. If not, look elsewhere!

Chelsea have gone backwards by not recruiting.... that's why Jose's fuming Jose Mourinho's frustrations clear with the scrutiny of his club's efforts in the summer transfer window set to continue

I never said he has written one. Anyway on that incident, Oscar probably refused to celebrate much because he thought he got lucky with the free kick and all the talk about Mourinho not playing Oscar in the big games is a bit off. Since Mourinho returned, he has played Oscar in a lot of the big games. If anything, he only doesn't play him in few of the away matches. 2013/14: Man United (a) - Played the whole game Man United (h) - Played until the 68th minute Arsenal (a) - Played the last 13 minutes Arsenal (h) - Played 67 minutes Man City (h) - Played the whole game Man City (a) - Played last 7 minutes Liverpool (h) - Played the whole game Liverpool (a) - Not in squad but remember, we concentrated on the Champions League then Tottenham (a) - Played the full game Tottenham (h) - Came on at HT PSG (a) - Played 73 minutes PSG (h) - Played 81 minutes Atletico Madrid (a) - On the bench Atletico Madrid (h) - On the bench 2014/15: Arsenal (h) - Played 87 minutes Arsenal (a) - Came off at HT due to concussion Man United (a) - Played 67 minutes Man United (h) - Played 67 minutes Liverpool (a) - Played the full game Liverpool (h) - Didn't play due to injury Man City (a) - On the bench but wasn't used Man City (h) - Played the whole game Tottenham (h) - Played the whole game Tottenham (a) - Played 45 minutes PSG (a) - Played 7 minutes PSG (h) - Played first 45 minutes I just can't see Oscar having a problem with Mourinho considering the latter has put so much faith and belief in the former to be our No.10 for years to come, till the point several other No.10s have been discarded.

I refuse to believe there's a problem between Oscar and Mourinho until Neil Ashton reports it.

Erm, we won the title in 2009/10...

Well, nothing dramatic about that interview, apart from the Aguero stuff.

Okay people, calm down. There's no need to start taking pot shots at one another here.

But our current first XI and that kind of backups on the bench would have been the perfect combination. Yes, we need reinforcements in defence but you can't deny that we're desperately lacking in midfield as well, both in terms of quality and numbers. We don't even have a decent replacement for Matic, Fabregas, Oscar, Willian.

Classic Coutinho. Plays poorly all game - Scores a wonder goal - Pundits/media praise him - Goes AWOL for few games before scoring another wonder goal. Rinse and repeat.

But on the other hand, dodgy goalkeeping from Butland. A few yards off his line. Wasn't heading into the top corner, should be saving that.

@ Wenger and his excuses.

I know it's only one game in but Arsenal are bottom of the league.

You're so so so wrong about that. You watch out young man, I'm watching you...

You're treading a fine line here, young man. Very close to approving that one-way ticket to wasteland... Some people's sarcasm detector needs fixing.

In other words, you're saying the rest of us are drama queens and rub people the wrong way?!

What are you trying to insinuate here..?

:lol: @xPetrCechx, Courtois wouldn't have made that blunder...

Agree but the question is, if that were to happen, can they keep their lead at the top of the table like we've done under Mourinho or Fergie's United? I doubt it.

Guardian said Augsburg rejected our offer last night but Bild has claimed the deal is "imminent". http://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/abdul-rahman-baba/dreht-vor-seinem-wechsel-nach-chelsea-noch-ehrenrunden-42114522.bild.html http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2015/8/9/9122631/report-baba-rahaman-to-chelsea-announcement-is-imminent

Does Matic actually have a right leg? He's so incredibly one-footed that it has become frustrating. Use your right foot some times for goodness sake!!

We bought a new goalkeeper?
