Chelsea Legend 11

How many games do you guys see him getting if he stays? He played no football last year(VERY little) and I don't anticipate him getting enough games here either. His decision I guess but u-21 league can't be better for him than Serie A

fair play to him, wants to stay at the club. I just hope this decision doesn't scupper the Torres deal.

Louder! He can't hear you!

Not if they pay his wages.

I just can't... I refuse...

May sound funny to some but I'd even take a Kalou right now... He was very good off the bench.

I'm not sure about this Destro kid but if he's Jose's choice than he's my choice as well. If the rumoured fee is true, £18m is exactly what we should be paying for a 2nd choice striker, he won't play a lot and is young. Message to the supporters, 18m is not a lot of money! Don't expect Messi-like performances if he does come.

Anyone else think Lukaku is the type of player who bottles it when he tries too hard? He's the type that thinks about the headlines before they're written.

Naismith played behind Lukaku 1-1 system

If he goes on loan I'm not so sure he won't be our 3rd choice striker next year. Drogba retires and we'll need one... At any rate 3rd choice for a year wouldn't bug me too much, the important thing is to get him out NOW so we can bring in a no.2.

I refuse to believe it until its OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL... Hard not to get excited though.

UNREAL Galliani: "Torres is a great centre-forward, we’ll see if he arrives or if it’s someone else, but we are working actively on the issue"

Biggest game of the year to date and people want to chop and change the back 4? Thankfully Jose isn't a stupid man... First game for Luis will likely be the Capital One Cup. Integrate him slowly into the team especially because Cesar has been very good. Everton are a good side, not to be underestimated, but I just think we have a too much quality to attack areas they are weak in.

If we sign Falcao....

Fernando Torres, you lack ambition.

ummm ya.... bump.

Not feeling Destro... Better than Torres but not exactly the type of player I think we need as striker.

Okay Special Juan... I hope you're right! Jose seems to think otherwise though. Like I said we'll know more in a weeks time, at current I don't even think its something to even remotely get excited about. Just two days ago Jose explained he is apart of his plans. There would have to be a MASSIVE about face for him to change that in one week. Again, I hope you're right.

I guess we'll know more in a week or so. If it is because he's getting moved you would think more would be made of him being in Ibiza. No news at all, everything written is about the ALS challenge. I love the fact you are dreaming though, love the passion.

Could've been given some sort of family exemption since he ain't playing.

I still wonder what people here expect? Everyone wants more attacking football but they don't want to sacrifice defensive shape to get it. You can't have one without sacrificing the other... Simple laws of the universe here. And to be honest I still don't think we're all that exposed. We were caught on the break a couple times but Matic, JT, Cahill and Azpi should be enough to cover for situations that will arise. Matic got caught out on the ball once and I bet that will never happen again, he's better than that.

Okay Fellaini 27M Mata 37M Herrera 29M Rojo 16M DiMaria 64M Shaw 30M Now obviously Utd can afford to make a few mistakes here and there but £203M is a shitload on money spent without having addressed any of their glaring needs. Also, I'm not so sure DiMaria is the type of player you break the British transfer record for... He scored 4 goals last year. IF they're willing to over spend like they clearly have here why not test Juve's resolve and get EXACTLY what they need in Vidal? Woodward is the footballing equivalent to Simple Jack.

Agreed.

Exact quote from Jose Mourinho: "The point here is not the quality because Petr is an amazing goalkeeper. What made me have this, this decision was the fact that the kid is 22, a kid that has only 2 yrs of contract. If he doesn't play for Chelsea he leaves Chelsea, if he leaves Chelsea in the near time he's a free agent and I made a decision for the team. The kid is answering in a fantastic way and Petr is the same."
