Courtois believes in Chelsea youth policy EDIT: Meh. Beaten by seconds!

Mata has 30 assists in all competitions this season - 12 in the Premier League, 4 in League Cup, 5 in FA Cup, 3 in Champions League and 6 in the Europa League.

Looks similar to the 2010/11 season DVD review. Only this one we have the trophy celebration at the bottom. You wanted Azpi in there, don't you?

Ridiculous! http://as.com/diarioas/2013/05/22/english/1369232269_974437.html

Real Madrid has learned nothing, and it doesn't deserve José Mourinho

Aah. There goes the fun..

That! And also, the forum is very pleasing on the eye too with the blue color, top graphics and images being used. It's user-friendly and 100x better than the CFCNet forum!

A top staff? A?!

Moses will not play for Nigeria in the Confederations Cup... http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1456527/nigeria-confirm-moses-confederations-cup-absence-mikel-wants-rest?cc=4716

Yes, there are 1-2 occasions sometimes it gets out of hand a little bit but that is on the rare side of things. And I can see there are decent/good discussion going about but as I pointed out, the annoying thing is those same posts being repeatedly posted about 'Please make it official', "Have they announced it?' 'He's not back yet?!' and things like this. It doesn't even contribute to threat in the right way.

From the club's selfish POV, I'm desperately hoping he doesn't get selected. He has played 5 summer tournaments in the past 4 years - Confederations Cup, World Cup, European U21 Championship, EURO 2012 and Olympics. Should he plays in this year's Confederations Cup and the World Cup 2014(which he's likely to TBF), then that would mean him playing 7 summer tournaments in 6 years without any proper break! Given we have like almost flogged him to death in his 2 seasons here (Mata has played over 110 games for non-stop), we could do with him having a proper break and be back fit and fresh for us next season.

I don't disagree with that but it gets annoying these days when people come in here expect to see new arguments/stories etc only to then see the same old thing being repeated again and again and again! I agree but there is no need to get so impatient with his return. If Mourinho's returning, the club will announce it. Just a matter of time.

I know we all like and want the club to get our business done early but for goodness sake, it's still in May and our season only finished like 3 days ago. All this talk and talk and talk isn't going to make the club announce any decision earlier. Just be patient FFS!

Stop with the insults, unless you want a ban, and get back on topic!

Seems like Courtois insulted the Real Madrid fans there...

I don't necessarily disagree with that BUT would like to see us strengthen the key areas first before looking elsewhere. And if the players in those key positions that we get is versatile and can play in different positions, then I don't see why we need to go after someone like Isco. Also, people want us to buy all these young players but then later complain we don't youth a chance when they can perhaps solve our problem in some positions without having the need to go out and buy other talents.

It's 20 goals and 30 assists this season, not the other way round.

It would just be a luxury buy if we get Isco. Already have a few players with similar qualities as him. How many of these kind of players and young ones are we really gonna stock up here?! What we need is different kind of players to fix the key areas needed in the squad, not buying more players in positions we don't have much worry about.

I never specified he does a 'good' or 'bad' job, did I? But he did do a decent job when he replaced Cech at Goodison Park at HT back in December.

Wonder why Turnbull never gets the same love as Ferreira. Never complains, can come in to do a job if needed...

Meh. Was hoping for some battle of assists here.

Break down the assists in all competitions then. Hazard has 11 in the league, 2 in FA Cup, 2 in League Cup, 2 in Champions League, 1 in Europa League and 1 in Club World Championship.

Hazard actually only has 19 assists (and 13 goals) in all competitions this season, excluding the penalties and free kicks won.
