OK thanks.

Marouane Fellaini devrait être un joueur de Chelsea d'ici très peu de temps. Le milieu de terrain d'Everton a fait l'objet d'une offre de 27 millions d'euros par le club londonien, soit le montant de sa clause libératoire. Le Belge se serait aussi vu proposé un salaire annuel de 5 millions d'euros. Attention cependant, car Manchester United souhaiterait aussi faire signer Fellaini, et pourrait s'aligner sur l'offre.

According to Lequipe newspaper, Fellaini will sign for Chelsea this week. Some hope here. This paper were correct in predicting Hazard too.

Well, may I suggest to buy yourself Samsung Galaxy tab 2, it works just like a dream for me.

How about the firstrowsports streaming ?

I even take some of that ganja he´s been smoking.

Silverware...I do want some. It´ll do a world of good for these young boys, I feel.

I do agree CC just might be a tin cup but does Chelsea have a chance to win other cups ? Personally, Mata should be starting this game, then rested around 60th minute. What I saw against QPR, I do not wanna see that shit again. Play your best, rest your best providing your team is ahead. I just like to add. I honestly believe Chelsea´s game against the nippers of Arsenal is much more important than tonight´s game. Just my opinion though.

If Rafa were to rest him, the team is lost without him, powerless, they say. Didn´t you see it before ?

As soon as Chelsea buys an attacking mid-fielder. Until then in Mata we trust.

He has a very dubious background on how he became rich. One thing I may reveal here. He is well connected with the upper echelon of Russian politics, even these days. See Gazprom sponsorship. Regardless, we as fans should not care much about it. Just buy players baby.

Personally, if one compares for 22m & Isco for 17m I would take Fellaini.

Perhaps for Roman it might not be much. However, I am certain he just does not throw his money at every player that comes by & wants to kick the ball at Stamford. He did not become a billionaire by spending his money aimlessly.

I assume Ferda is starting tonight. Perhaps, he just might play better & score. Although, I would not bet my house on it. As for Marin, I too am a bit puzzled to read all these comments to see him in the line-up. I wish him well, however I am not sure of his ability. So far, I have not seen much of it.

Personally, I do not care or I should how Roman acquired his billions. All I care is about his willingness to support & finance Chelsea. How many owners do we know who pumped so much money into any football team ? I can count them on my fingers, easily. Sometimes, he does things I might not agree with. Then the question should come about, who am I to judge ? Would any of us invest money into any business & let others to run it without having any saying ? Personally, I would not want any yo-yo to tell me how to run it.

Some of you think 17m is not a lot of money, I read above. Since I do not know much about him, had seen him just a couple of times, it´s hard to say how much he is worth. He certainly, looks better than that samba boy Taison.

First read your sarcasm, then think or try to use your pea brain. Good luck. Under Roman ownership the club went from an average club to stardom.

The only clown I know of is you by posting your dribbles here.

The way I saw it, he scored a sitter. Then, he had another chance but he tripped over the ball. As I said, I wish him well. Just as long as he shuts his mouth.

...& justifiably so.

The Ownership, the Roman Empire and its Emperor. Roman Abramovich is not just any man, but the man. In club football one could argue he is the best owner around. Two and a half decades back he was no more than a plastic toys seller in the Soviet Union. He is an example of capitalism in a communist environment. With nothing but wits and political shrewdness he cut himself a slice of Russia`s large oil cake. Putin and Roman are the biggest buddies these days. A self made billionaire, changed his world and the Chelsea world one day. A footballing newbie, he was as curious as a teenage boy when he sat at the Santiago Bernabeu watching footballing giants Real Madrid play against a smaller team called Chelsea. Something happened to Roman that day. Roman Abramovich had fallen in love. Since then there has been no looking back as he pumped more than a billion into the club. But that`s not why he`s the best owner in club football. It never was. Yes the money is important, but there is more to being a great owner than just splashing the cash. Of late the man has come under heavy criticism for firing a club legend Champions League winning manager in Di Matteo and replacing him with a man who everyone loves to hate. So what makes Roman special? 1. Unquenchable desire - minutes after Chelsea`s Champions League success Roman tells his players, now I want you to have 3 stars on your shirt like Bayern. 2. He`s nuts- in a good way for us. His quest to be the best may have in the past led to panic decisions in the past (and I believe it`s a thing of the past - I`ll explain this in the chapter talking about organizational structure). But drive and determination and the top levels of management are required to make any organization competitive! 3. Foresight -as I write this article Roman Abramovich has just bought his daughter a horse worth millions as a gift (you`d think what a waste of money) and at the same time invests £3.4 billion in Oxford Catalysts, an energy company dedicated to renewable energy and energy production from house waste. This shows a man who is both willing to spend on what he loves but also a man who knows how to plan for the future. 4. Learning football - one of his biggest criticism is that the man does not understand his footie but according to Mourinho a typical Abramovich weekend includes watching man, many matches in the Premier League and La Liga. Whether he learns a thing or not he definitely is not as out of touch with the game as people want you to believe. 5. Change in attitude - there has been a change in Roman over the years. His backing of Andre Villas-Boas till he had no choice, his appointment of Michael Emenalo as Technical Director (to be explored in subsequent chapters) and his general will to move towards the perfection of a club. 6. The man who wont walk away - his desire to build Chelsea a bigger stadium and his will (upon Roman`s death £50 million will be made available to Chelsea per year for ten years to ensure the club continues to do well even when he`s not around to see it). Hardly what rival fans want you to believe! That Chelsea is just the toy of a rich man. 7. Iron will - the treatment of senior players like Frank Lampard by refusing to renew their contracts definitely looks cold. I love Frank and Cole. But I do feel this is not just the FFP. It`s Roman breaking player power. It`s going to be painful. But in medicine, some procedures need to be done for long term benefit of the patient.

Well said. NOBODY is going to replace Frankie. There is only one, that´s the classiest player of my era. Frank is held highly in my view & will be FOREVER.

Whatever he said & he must have said something, there is an urgency for him to do some homework. He played for Chelsea, won several trophies with a little contribution. Has he not realized that Liverpool have not won anything for over 6 years ? Chelsea made the right decision to sent him packing.

I also associate Brazilians with samba. Every time I viewed Rio´s carnival I saw plenty of samba dancers, then. Anyway, it seems like a pretty slow day on transfers.
