No Ramires at all?

But you don't hear Flopres speak like them.

Sounds/Feels a bit like Mata the way he speaks English.

Chelsea to listen to offers for Juan Cuadrado or Victor Moses after signing Pedro

Geeez. People are so lazy these days.

And they have jinxed us alright. We still haven't won with them as our sponsors.

Why do people always bring up the Arsenal example in integrating youth discussion? Yes, Wenger didn't achieve much while trying to blood youngsters into the squad but then again, you look at what Fergie, Guardiola and heck, Van Gaal did at United, Barcelona and Bayern Munich respectively. They all integrated young players into the first team and still went on to win trophies. No one is asking Mourinho to go youth crazy and start playing 5-6 youngsters in the first XI. No. We want to see him integrate at least 1, if not 2 or 3 into the first team. We have some really good young players in the academy and we aren't really using them. We want to see progression, long term planning and if Mourinho is going to stay for years to come, like he plans to, then he can't go every year and just buy players in the market. Like Gary Neville said last year, you cannot win 4 Youth Cups in 6 years and not bring them through (watch the video below from 2mins 50secs onward). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tIFL2p1fJo

Pedro costs 9.5 million in the Fantasy Premier League. EDIT: And I just checked. Pedro is listed as a 'Midfielder' in and the fourth most expensive player (WTH?!) - only Hazard, Silva and Sanchez worth more.

This is what happened when you have that twat @ in charge.

Fixed.

No news on that yet. Should be out later today or if not, tomorrow.

Yup. http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/08/pedro-trains.html

Well, it was a way of getting my own insurance policy, if you know what I mean. And besides, we create a thread for every new player.

Khaledmercato works for Foot Mercato and they aren't a reliable source. On the top of that, this sounds like of those 'Player X played well in Game A. So, let's him link to Club Z' transfers.

Hijack mission accomplished! Glad the deal didn't take too long to complete.

Jose Mourinho must understand player safety is important - Fabrice Muamba

I agree. I didn't he wasn't good last season because he was good. I just find it OTT to say he's the best CB in the world last term.

Just because I disagree with your point, it means I didn't watch La Liga or Valencia last season? Don't be presumptuous. He was probably the best centre back in La Liga last season but in the world? That's highly debatable when the likes of Terry, Chiellini etc all did well in 2014/15.

Just saw this on Squawka. City have spent close to 143m on 8 CBs since they bought Kompany in 2008... 6, if not 7, of those have turned out to be flops.
