*bump*

Yes but doubt he'll play at all.

It was Basel away actually, not the home game.

Locking this thread... Have reopened the summer transfer window and general transfer talk threads. So, you fellas know what to do..

Mario Pasalic, Lamisha Musonda and Joao Rodriguez..

And they signed Senderos...

Toure and Zabaleta are not suspended for goodness sake!

Mourinho's presser surely is entertaining, one way or another.

For me yes. Martin Tyler is best football commentator around. His reaction to some of the goals scored over the years is legendary and dramatic.

Discuss anything and everything on Zouma in his thread under the players section.. http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/17545-kurt-zouma/ Locked.

On the 31st January 2014, Zouma joined Chelsea for a fee believed to be around £12 million, he will remain at Saint Étienne on loan for the remainder of the 2013-14 season. Zouma first appeared as a first-half substitute for Chelsea in a pre-season friendly against Wycombe Wanderers. He scored his first goal for the club in a 21 friendly win against Slovene club Olimpija, on 27 July 2014. He was given the number 5 shirt, previously worn by Michael Essien. On 24 September, Zouma made his first competitive appearance for Chelsea, scoring the opener in a 21 win against Bolton Wanderers in the third round of the League Cup. Zouma made his second Chelsea start and first Champions League appearance on 21 October against Maribor, helping his side keep a clean sheet in a 6−0 win. He made his Premier League debut as an added-time substitute for Willian in the 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford on 26 October 2014. On 4 January 2015, Zouma scored the third goal for Chelsea in the 30 victory over Watford in the FA Cup. Six days later he started in the Premier League for the first time, partnering John Terry in place of Gary Cahill and keeping a clean sheet in a 20 home win over Newcastle United which put Chelsea back into first place. With Nemanja Matić suspended and John Obi Mikel injured, Zouma played in defensive midfield as Chelsea won the League Cup Final on 1 March, with a 20 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. On 3 May, he featured as a substitute for the final five minutes in place of Willian as Chelsea defeated Crystal Palace 10 to win the league title. Click here to view the record

Consistent? Meh. All our current set piece takers are inconsistent and more often than not, their deliveries don't even get past the near post, always hitting the first man.

Not exactly 12am of 31st January in the UK just yet but what the heck. Discuss all transfer activities in the 'Deadline Day' thread.. http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/10951-deadline-day/page-152

Best contribution to the discussion...

This...

Buying a defender and then loaning him back to his current club for the rest of the season...this should be happening with another defender instead...

Can tell that he was really enjoying the result and watching us struggle to score past West Ham. I'm sorry but he really couldn't be more of a twat, even if he tried.

Think set pieces is an area where we can hurt City as they have not looked all that convincing when defending those situations lately. Cardiff scored from one not too long ago and Spurs got two yesterday, although one was ruled out for offside(IIRC). Also, I am worried about Azpi or Cole starting at LB for this one especially if Navas starts. A right footed player in Azpi dealing with another same footed player is not exactly ideal in such situations. Even Azpi had a bit of problem dealing with Valencia in that United game and as for Cole, well we know he isn't exactly the best in defending anymore right now.
