and Matic and Cesc and Hazard ... AND .. a very thin ice to stand on

We might still be favorites for the EPL but, by being complacent during the transfer window, Chelsea has effectively forfeited it's chances in the champions league this season, and this is not typical of Jose or Abramovic. Something else is going on.

I don't think he was taking a swipe at Aresena's tactics when he said they were defensive. In fact he congratulated them on their success and change of philosophy. The stupid media is trying to make shit up out of nothing, really.. But, what is it that he sees in Ramirez?

Willian,

start with Remy .. bring on Falcao after 60 min

could the new stadium be behind all this? I wonder... tough times ahead?

It may be a mistake with mild consequences in the premier league, but it would greatly undermine our chances in Europe

I hope you are right. It would be perfect if we could sign any of the CMs you've mentioned in place of Ake or Mikel

excellent font

who said anything about an overhaul? I didn't. what is your point anyway? it has only been 15 days .... all signings should make sense.. when did I say anything against all these? what the fuck?

Some really think Chelsea is all set for next season without signing anyone regardless of what other clubs are doing. Its really amazing

My point is, Chelsea still needs to sign players even if it means paying a bit too much for them this time around. You're suggesting, I presume, not to sign players unless they are world class AND at a decent price, thus I don't agree with you.

will have to see how we do in the transfer market first

If Chelsea wants to assert its dominance in the long run, it needs to stay competitive in the transfer market and keep a superior squad every season. I believe, all the effort put in by Roman and the board has brought Chelsea in a unique period/situation among Europe's elite. We're no more a Man_city or a PSG (don't need to spend that much to get the better player, anymore) and we're not yet a RM or Barca.....what Chelsea at this moment is, very appealing for world class footballers... we're a potential usurper, a rebel ... the club needs to take advantage.

world class talent at a decent price? you're asking too much, mate. Chelsea got a couple of those last year, you shouldn't expect that to happen every summer. We're champions, the board has been successful in balancing the book for three years straight... Chelsea should treat itself with some fancy signings and make a statement. Champions of England can do a lot better than a crooked Falcao, ffs.

Barca won everything yet they are strengthening. Man_utd, city, Arsenal are all strengthening or looking to do so. We shouldn't make the same mistake as in 2011. Had we signed half the AMs we've now after loosing Deco and Ballack back then, we wouldn't have declined for the next two/three years. Only a miracle saved us in 2012. Imagine what would've happened had we not won the CL . All our English competition were hoping for our failure that year, it'd have been such a blow. CHELSE SHOULD NEVER EVER LET SOMETHING LIKE THAT EVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

I hope we'll be the first club to put some wearable electronics on our kits someday. Imagine an LED backed invisible badge that glows when tapped .. don't know if it'd be allowed though

so many areas we could strengthen, come on Jose, wake up!!

the TYRES part, the only thing I hate about it

not disappointed one bit .. infact I'm relieved

most boring beginning to the summer transfer window in 4 years

no training kit sponsor?

don't think so, did we? .. we signed the blonde that year

they're being linked with everybody else too and we're pretty much outsiders in this case. I just hope Chelsea is not making the same mistake as in 2010/11. We lost Balack, Deco and Willkins and brought in none... had to wait 5 years to get anywhere near the title for 5 years.. and think of what would've happened if it wasn't for the miracle of 2012

they better make him captain
