9:52 Chelsea look set to loan out new signing Mario Pasalic to La Liga outfit Elche for the 2014/15 campaign. The 19-year-old Croatia Under-21 midfielder moved to Stamford Bridge from Hajduk Split earlier this month. SkySports

Mancienne has returned to the UK and signed for Nottingham Forest, he played three years in Hamburg.

Well done Pat! Nice introduction in the first team.

I still can't see the problem.. He is not South American or something. Croatia is an EU-member state. I would be surprised if he didn't play.

We played in blue three years ago, Wycombe players wore yellow, but tonight we are the away team so probably yes.

Does he need a work permit to play in a friendly match? It's not even a preseason tournament, the rules are flexible, I don't think that'd be a problem.

Zouma is three years younger and plays in a stronger league than Mangala. It's impossible to compare them fairly.

He would score a shitload of goals there. There are so many garbage teams in LaLiga.

PSG are already very strong team, they have showed it in the last two seasons. Monaco are also a great club, and who wouldn't like to live there? Also, Cech played in France for two years, perhaps he it's appealing to him to go back there. Barceona have already signed two goalkeepers so it's very unlikely.

KDB and Mata were already squad members, but it was Mourinho's decision to sign Fabregas. It would be ridiculous if we got rid of him in january.

That's what I was thinking too. Players that haven's played for us(Atsu, Zouma, or Davila) are still on the "On loan players" menu.

Liverpool will get about 50-60 million pounds for Suarez, they can strengthen their team. Let's just hope they will blow their money on garbage.

It's better to play regularly in a club that is fighting to stay in the Premier League than sitting on a stronger one's bench, isn't it? Also, Southampton's squad is very strong without Shaw and Lallana(and I understand that Lovren and Schneiderlin could be gone too). They got a lot of money to buy new players, and Koeman is a great coach. We'll see. I hope they will find a good place for Atsu, it shouldn't be that hard if "half the PL and the Bundesliga" want him.

Nice thread! Best Moment : Drogba's winning penalty in Munich and the celebration after we destroyed Wigan(8-0) in 2010 Best Game I've been to: Chelsea - Bayern 2 - 2 (UEFA Super Cup, 2013) Best Goal : Tiago against MU in 2005 Worst moment: Cech's injury, CL-final in Moscow, 0-3 against Sunderland

Why would we change to 4-3-3? 4-2-3-1 works very well, we buyed players to use this system.

Pogba is a bit like Balotelli. They are both brilliant players but also morons. The last thing we need is stupid red cards in important matches. We are likely to go on playing in 4-2-3-1, and we have Matic, Fabregas, Ramires, Van Ginkel and Mikel(and some promising players like RLC or Aké). Why would we pay 50-60 million for a player? Use that money to buy a proper LB and a striker.

I think it's impossible to buy him out from Monaco. Why would they sell him? They got a shitload of money.

It's official now, Chelsea will face FTC in Budapest on the 10th of august. http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3929980?WT.mc_id=social_20140625_26668216

It's strange.. City let Mancini and Zabaleta to visit their relatives DURING the season but they didn't let Yaya to spend a day or two with his dying brother after the last game?

Two grea assists from him.. What a player!

That's so bad... I just checked, he had one assist in the entire season... He was amazing yesterday though.

Mourinho: 'Eto'o has finished his contract but I think Torres will be at Chelsea next season. Oh god why

Do Jamaican people smoke a lot of pot or it is just a stupid stereotype?
