Even if he scored 15 goals for Boro in the Premier League he would start from the bench here. No young player becomes a starter immediately. Of course I'm not a hundred percent sure that bringing Pat back would be a good idea but I think we need a young, ambitious striker. Drogba and Rémy ar ok but they are clearly not dangerous to Costa. A young man who is becoming better and better and is eager to play may be nice.

This is not mathematics, not an exact science. You may be right but what if Pat needs to be around players like Costa to step on the next level? Harry Kane has experienced rivals like Soldado or Adebyor but Spurs didn't loan him out. Wilson got his chance at Manchester United altough there are world class strikers there. Also, Middlesbrough is currently 3rd in the Championship. What if they don't qualify?

Aké is a defensive player, it'd more risky to play him. Strikers are rotated more often. Rémy played 23 times this season, Drogba featured 33 times.

1. Chelsea 2. Don't give a damn 3. Don't give a damn 4. Don't give a damn

Why should we loan him out again? He is turning 22 this year, he's had a fantastic season, this is his time to step on the next level. Even if Boro qualifies for PL they will fight against relegation which is not optimal for a young striker. I hope we'll bring him back and he can take his chance. Training with world class players and play 15-20 games for Chelsea could be benefitial for him. Signing Ade would be pointless IMO.

Pff.. Huge NO He's 31. has been sitting on the bench for months, ex-Spurs, Arsenal and City player. Why don't we replace Drogba with Bamford?

A moron in Montenegro threw firework on Akinfeev, he couldn't stay on the pitch. It was the second minute only. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj7XYcIEJu4

11. He would be perfect as James Bond or Malfoy.

Gaspachio's head is going to blow up someday He shouldn't wear tight shirts.

They mispelled Volkswagen's name in Stadte de France last night

No way he's coming back to England. He reportedly goes back to Boca Junior in the summer of 2015 or 16. Also, he said he only plays in Europe for money, he's always wanted to go back.

Congrats! What kind of job have you got?

Why would I be scared of José? That's a pretty weird thing to say.. He is not a dictator but he is the one that decides on players future. De Bruyne was his little favourite when he returned and reportedly became unwanted because he talked too much. Again, I'm not saying this statement was horrible but it was the kind of interview media can make a big deal of so Hazard(and other players) should be careful.

That's exactly why he should not talk about the boss' decision. It's very easy to offend Mourinho. He has a huge ego, you never know what he finds inappropriate. I'm not saying that what Eden said was stupid but media can make a big deal about statements like that and these kind of publicity is unwanted.

I read the original article, it's not that bad tbh http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Hazard-il-ne-faut-pas-se-cacher/546174 Either way, he shouldn't comment the managers decision. It might sound innocent but Mourinho strongly dislikes it. He should just ignore these kind of questions.

God our Belgians can't shut up.. Courtois, Lukaku and Kevin have all said such stupid things to the press.

Release clauses like that mean nothing, no club will ever play 50 million for a player from the Ukranian league. Maybe they wanted Costa to stay in order to beat Bayern They would be lucky if they got like 25 million for him, still a lot of money.

Well, at least they are passionate. I remember three years ago Turkey played a wc-quali game in Budapest and I was there. There was only a few hundreds of Turkish fans but the policemen shit their pants, they were really afraid from your fans

The only Turkish guy I know is a big Galata supporter and he told me some stories about their fans.. It's crazy but I'd love to watch an Istanbulian derby someday.

Why did we not sign him then? We played more than 30 million Euros for Cuadrado. Do you think Shakhtar would reject so much money for a player that wants to leave? Or we were willing to pay more money for Cuadrado who was the second name on the list? I agree with most things you write but this doesn't seem right.

You mean that Cricket T20 thing? I had to google it, I really don't know a damn about it.

I meant watch it, not play it I don't believe there is one single cricket team here. I was thinking about watching it, sorry if I wasn't clear. I like getting to know new sports. In the last few years a became a huge baseball and american football fan. I hardly ever sleep since then.

Besides the UK and Australia, cricket is only popular in Asia, isn't it? I have many friends in Europe but I've literally never heard anyone mention cricket or seen people playing it. Maybe I should learn the rules and give it a try. Is it any good?

Jeez that would be too mainstream.. Too simple. Too effective. Not to mention that Zouma played as DM and Fábregas is slowly becoming a DM too

Not only he assisted twice but also plays very well. Mourinho kills his vibe.. He was such a good player at Shakhtar and he's still got it.
