Squad numbers have been announced for Hazard, Marin and De Bruyne! http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~2847897,00.html Hazard takes No.17, Marin No.21 and KDB No.14!
He is still so intense and philosophical as ever in the things he said regarding with Roman. And funny thing is, Scolari never tried to claim any credit in any way for the FA Cup we won 2009. Just saying...
Personally, I would like to see Essien be given another chance. He came back from injury in the middle of last season where things weren't going so well and wasn't quite given a consistent run of games to gain back his form. Still think he can play a part in this team especially if everything goes to plan in this pre-season for him.
Feels weird seeing people going soft on Benayoun all of a sudden. He shouldn't be first on the 'Players That Need To Be Sold' list. There are 1-2 who should be ahead of him.
The point is he tried to claim credit. For what? He nearly left us on the verge of exit after the 3-1 defeat to Napoli, all thanks to his silly kamikaze attacking approach.
