Daily Mail posted the news the other day and seem to have taken the story down completely. Think that says it all...

In the Guardian... Chelsea ask Galatasaray if Turkey striker Burak Yilmaz is for sale

Chelsea owner fears Mourinho may prove too combustible on his return to the Bridge

Seems to me that the Daily Mail's story on Luiz not wanted by Mourinho has been taken down completely. The link posted yesterday is no longer valid and can't find it in their website either.

Doubt City will sell Aguero to us. And even if they do, he's gonna be costly especially when the club didn't agree to his huge wages demand. As for Ibrahimovic, he's already 32 this year. Definitely not someone the club would want to sign given our transfer policy of buying young players and ones below 30 y/o.

I'm guessing you included penalties and free kicks won as well...

Gotze didn't announce it himself. Bild (IIRC) broke the news and Dortmund and then Bayern announced it to confirm the transfer.

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...
