If all of our attacking threats only come from the front, then the opposition can sit deep and may defend easily against us without worrying about any threats coming from midfield. Need to have somebody in midfield who can spread the play and dictate the tempo in order to draw out the opposition. Lampard can do that but he can't be playing in every game, can he??

Suspect Schweinsteiger deserves the award more...

A little bit concern that we are not even linked with any creative midfielder right now when it is an area that needs fixing in the squad!

Racist!

What was wrong with that? He was just making the point that it's much better playing in the Premier League because of its competitiveness, which will help Hazard develop rather than in La Liga where only 2 teams play for the title every year.

They'll be traveling down to England on Friday according to the info on Twitter.

This is Chelsea we're talking about. Anything can happen.

In other words, you are suggesting that we give the supposed iconic squad number to someone who is fitting to wear it, right? If that is the case, then I very much agree with it.

No shit sherlock!

If I'm being paranoid, I would say that is a dangerous thing to do. Never know if Hazard's head could be turned elsewhere...

Seems that we will be getting Hazard and United are very much likely to purchase Kagawa..

Rumours on Twitter is saying that the move will be completed and confirmed after the England v Belgium game this Saturday.

@ those fellas on Redcafe... http://www.redcafe.n...chelsea-354410/ They were all praising him before he announced it but now, they are saying he's useless, calling him names and dishing out the typical reasons why he joined us instead.

On a serious note, this was what the club said: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18138145 And just minutes ago, Sam Wallace from the Independent tweeted this:

Maybe because no one was home yesterday. Everyone have gone to bed when he announced it.

It's RDM's birthday today. Happy 42nd Birthday Robbie!

Yes and it's also because we'll be playing in the Champions League next season again. If we hadn't won it, we would have been talking about targeting N'Zonzi, Danny Simpson, Jarvis, Doyle rather than Hulk, Hazard, Falcao, Van der Wiel etc..

Don't understand why people are saying because Cech signed a new 4-year deal, Courtois will go out on loan for the next 4 years too. Doubt that will be the case. Courtois will very much likely stay at Atletico Madrid next season before possibly going on a loan in the Premier League the following season. He could then come back and challenge Cech for the No.1 spot. By then, Cech would be already 32-33 y/o and not saying he'll be over the hill already come then but Courtois could well be our No.1 GK then with Cech serving as the No.2 and good backup at that too.

Oh boy, I'm completely over the moon with this transfer! However, just gonna wait till the club OFFICIALLY confirms it. For all we know, Hazard could be trolling with us...

Calm down people. Until the club OFFICIALLY announces, nothing is certain.

Does it really matter? Mata wouldn't bother with such thing. As long as he can play and contribute to the team week in week out, he will be fine..

You know, he didn't specify which year of the 'Champions of Europe'...

OMG! Is this real?! Somebody pinch me!!

Err, for the future...?

Oh f**K it then!!
