all in all a good season. Plenty of memorable wins

Ba, to RMC: "My agent has spoken to the club about a departure and he has started speaking with other clubs about a contract for next season. "I hope we can find the best option possible. I'd like to stay in England. I like other leagues, too. I'd like to try the Italian league. "Nothing's been confirmed but there are a few teams in Italy who play very good football." Goodbye Demba

hasn't looked like scoring all season and now over a month since he even had an assist

diMarzio http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/calciomercato/southampton-real-madrid-pursuing-shaw-while-chelsea-is-interested-in-lallana/

everyone likes him around these parts

Even Shogun said pretty much the same thing about him

totally exposed in these games to be fair. even cahill-terry will struggle when the opposition forwards are outnumbering them

Jones in midfield is a non-option though with Vidic being suspended

Griezmann to PSG apparently. will take Lucas/Lavezzi's spot i'm guessing

last year's home kit was kept secret till the launch. i won't believe the links this time

i doubt money is that big of an issue even with FFP and what not. Chelsea can make a killing in wages saved by selling some of the many deadwood didierforever mentioned. also there's eto'o, lampard, cole rumoured to be leaving and all 3 are on sizable wages too. even if only 1 or 2 end up leaving, it will mean atleast a 10m save in wages. If Lukaku is sold, it will be because Jose doesn't rate him. Not for money

for the 100th time, 32M RELEASE CLAUSE

looks like a tank. never seen him play though

Gibbs or Ox? Can you beat Andre Marriner's score? http://www.gibbsorox.com/

Azpi at RB and Shaw at LB imo. Ivanovic covering at CB and RB. As Skipper mentioned, Ivan is aerially stronger than Azpi but otherwise Azpi is better edit - think Hazard/Shaw and RW/Azpi will be a real menace going forward

if there is a 6th AM, it could be Piazon or bertrand traore. there's no particular need to sign another player i think

if you can believe what Jose said in the interview about Salah being the RW

5 players for 3 positions is enough. at the start of the season we had KdB and Mata (a total of 6) when only 4 were being used. Willian is the cover for Salah. Even Schurrle can play there. Even Hazard

this is good news. i was worried whether Salah was a bit anxious after not starting a single game in the first two months here. but recent quotes look encouraging

Don't have much hope of Arsenal and Spurs getting something off City and Liverpool. Need to win to stay top

nobody suggested it will make any player better. yes, it's one of the sillier aspects of football but from what i can see users are just discussing who will get #10 #8 etc.

really wish you'd stop having a go at Matic at every thread

rarely see Carlo celebrate a goal like that

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/manchester-united-william-carvalho-deal-3273687#.Uy5EWzqKGuo.twitter 37m is a lot of money for a DM

he is a safe keeper. he has botched some saves - vs Reading last season for example but those are extremely rare. also, it helps he has this robotic calmness about him.
