I don't know if you are trying to be a troll here or just being a Mikel hater but if you are gonna blame someone for that, then look at the man who's making all the decisions on the sidelines - Mourinho. It's fine that people don't rate Mikel but it's just plain stupid people blame him for practically everything whenever something bad happens on the pitch, even when he's not at fault for anything at all.

And for you all accountants out there, Begovic is likely to earn £75,000 a week - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/11730281/Chelsea-transfer-news-Asmir-Begovic-poised-to-complete-8million-move-to-Stamford-Bridge-on-Friday.html

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jul/09/asmir-begovic-chelsea-8m-transfer-stoke-city-marco-van-ginkel Guardian (and Daily Telegraph) reports Begovic will complete the move on Friday and Van Ginkel will join Stoke on loan as part of the deal.

Maybe they'll try to get Remy and we'll be kind enough to sell him to them.

Random transfer...

Sterling is like a puppet right now, being controlled by others and doesn't seem to have a clue on what he's doing.

I'm guessing he meant to say Manchester United...

Saido Berahino splits with Raheem Sterling's controversial agent Aidy Ward after West Brom star becomes disillusioned Sterling might be talented and all but I don't think I would want him at the club. He's only 21 years old and has achieved nothing in his career yet act like someone who has won everything. The way he has been behaving and treating Liverpool (regardless of their fault) is nothing short of embarrassing.

Pardon my ignorance but isn't Alderweireld's name easier (or straightforward) to pronounce? With Azpilicueta, people already get the first syllable wrong.

He's that same referee who took charge of our match at Southampton last season, which led to Mourinho's campaign talk.

Would love to see the next Barcelona president come in and sell him back to Atletico Madrid.

No news about Remy for a few weeks and suddenly he's been linked with Besiktas?

If people do not rate Bertrand, that is fine but I have not seen a proper reason as to why they don't rate him. If anything, the reasons have been somewhat superficial - he allows crosses to come into the box, he looks average to me, he did nothing impressive/played only so-so, he makes too many Ramires-esque passes etc. No one seem able to pin point which part of his game makes him a really average (or even bad) player even though he's always got the job done whenever he's played for us.
