The overreaction here (and in other threads) means TalkChelsea is back in full swing!

Terry didn't play in the first half against NY Red Bulls while Fabregas did but the captain armband wasn't given to him. Ivanovic got it instead. Probably doesn't mean much though...

Oh my. Shut up you fucking twat. Stop trying to be Spike 2.0.

Even though our current squad does need improvement in certain area, Mourinho isn't going to panic over one defeat in pre-season, especially with the NY Red Bulls game being our first. We did lose 3-0 to Werder Bremen last year after all. But if we also lose to PSG, Barcelona, Arsenal and even Fiorentina...

Well, after the 'stunning' performance against New York Red Bulls, this should be easy...

First pre-season game and we have already lost and conceded 4 goals?! Oh dear.

He scored Stoke's third goal in their 6-0 friendly win over Wrexham earlier today.

We still have 2 more games after this and the Community Shield isn't a competitive match.

Does that really matter? It's our first pre-season game and everyone will be getting time on the pitch.

Frank Lampard catches up with John Terry in Big Apple after New York City FC star tells excited Chelsea supporters 'I'll be back'

Not sure if I'm liking this 'One Out, One In' policy. We have the money to spend but we are stingy about it and not using the cash to improve the areas that need improvement. It's holding us back.

Chelsea ready to make John Stones British football's most expensive defender EVER Probably the most interesting bit from the article link above...

I know Cambiasso won't improve us but considering we lost 2 proven winners and experience in Drogba and Cech this summer, wonder Mourinho might look to replace that by bringing him in for one season.

From Mourinho's pre-match presser... Mourinho: 'We are working on different things. We had to build a football team last year; now we are trying to add new qualities. Jose says he is happy he can now watch MLS games live in Europe. He says the league is stronger with the likes of Lampard in it. Jose: 'The [transfer] market is what it is.' He adds clubs only have to pay for players what they are willing to pay. Mourinho says it is good for his team to play against a fit, fresh side in the middle of their season, as New York Red Bulls are. Jose says he is impressed with what he has seen of Montreal so far and it is a good base for him and the players on our #CFCTour Mourinho: 'Right now I only have one objective: to win tomorrow. 'Mourinho explains he can feel how much the popularity of football in North America has grown since his first #CFCTour here in 2004. Mourinho says it seems like the transfer window is closed now so maybe it would be better to wait until 1 September to make a bid. Jose says we need a left-back because it looks like we will be selling Filipe Luis in the very near future. Jose says he would consider managing in the MLS one day, but not now. He would 'like to contribute to a fantastic country'.

Mourinho is having the pre-match presser at the moment.

A biography book of Costa, which will be out on July 30. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Diego-Costa-Art-Fran-Guillen/dp/1909715298/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1436971798&sr=8-4&keywords=diego+costa

Maybe but I wouldn't jump the gun just yet. Falcao will probably go back to Monaco and then there might be a question mark over Remy again.

On top of that, Bamford has signed a new three-year deal with us - http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/07/new-deal-for-bamford.html
