Chelsea FC midfield star set to be awarded new £4.8m contract deal. Nemanja Matić was initially signed from Slovakian outfit Košice back in 2009. As a youngster at a star packed Chelsea, he struggled to find his place in the first team and left on a permanent deal in 2011 where he joined Portuguese side Benfica. The young Serbian midfielder had three impressing years in Portugal, and several top flight clubs were fighting for his signature in the 2014 January transfer window. However, he opted for his old club, Chelsea FC, where he signed a five-and-a-half-year contract for a reported fee of €21 million. In his short time back in London he has established himself as a key profile in the current Chelsea squad, and is one of Jose Mourinho’s favourite players. His stellar performances now seem to have merited a contract extension, which would increase Matić’s weekly salary with almost £30,000 to a total of whooping £93,000 a week, furthermore extending his stay at Stamford Bridge to year 2020.

wat.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is interested in bringing in 44 year-old keeper as a backup to first choice keeper Thibaut Courtois, should Petr Cech leave in the summer. In the start of the current season, questions were raised as to who would be chosen as the first choice keeper at Chelsea - the legend Petr Cech or the impressing, young talent Thibaut Courtois. The young Belgian was given the nod, and has settled extremely well to the life in the Barclays Premier League. As a result, Petr Cech who joined Chelsea from French club Rennes in 2004 is seeking first-team football elsewhere, with clubs like Monaco, PSG, Roma and Arsenal all seeking to acquire the 32 year-old Czech’s signature. With Cech leaving, Jose Mourinho is weighing his options for a replacement. Surprisingly, the 44 year-old Spurs goalkeeper Brad Friedel has been added to a shortlist of possible replacements, joining the likes of John Ruddy, Robert Green and Graig Cordon. Jose Mourinho wants to bring in experienced names, and Friedel certainly fits the credentials having made more than 450 appearances for several Premier League outfits such as Liverpool, Aston Villa and Tottenham. Brad Friedel’s contract with Tottenham expires by the end of the season, and would be a similar signing to Mark Schwarzer, who was signed on free-transfer in 2013, before leaving for Leicester in the January transfer window.

Cheers Alex. Hey guys I live in Denmark (duh) and currently study on the last year of business and social sciences. I have my own newly founded business, that helps small businesses promote their products/websites/stores online, either through social media or Google advertisement. Looking forward to helping out

Merry Christmas

Dunno if it is considered advertising or not (I have no affiliation with this website), but if a fair share of our members would sign up to www.datacoup.com they would be able to generate almost $3 a month, depending on what data you want to share. Not a lot, but if this was donated to TalkChelsea it would add nicely to the server maintenance costs. I have almost accumulated $7, and I've not been using it for long.

I remember two years ago when Hazard, Oscar and the likes were signed. We were all talking about how great the future would be as a Chelsea fan. Buckle up, lads. Everything is coming together. THE FUTURE IS NOW

Phil Dowd was beyond shit. My fucking God...... Every little decision, every niggle went their way. I lost count of the amount of freekicks they were given. Pathetic.

3-4. I know CalculatingInfinity is fairly active, and we have a few others that contribute once in a while

Nice to have another Dane on board. Velkommen!

Two strikers actually able to score goals? Is this Chelsea FC? Is this real life?

You cannot hail the board enough for their achievements in the transfer market as of late. Replaces Torres with Remy. Matic, Fabregas, Costa, Luis. Azpi, Hazard, Oscar. We've got a sexy looking squad at the moment. Long may it continue!

Think Cech will start, but hope it's Thibaut.... Regardless...... COME ON CHELSEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Easy money, easy life. The club has done an immense job this transfer window. Will take a while before someone tries to slack them off, I hope. Not bothered at all about this transfer. Welcome to Scouse hell, Rom.

Same here, though my internet is decent. It is REALLY slow...

Am I the only one having trouble with the Chelsea FC homepage regarding the Chelsea TV livestream? It can't seem to load.

Thanks, Strike. Nice to finally get noticed and receive praise for the immense contribution I have made to this forum. LOL, kidding. Not about the 'thank-you' part though. Thanks, mate. I'm not sure if I deserve it though. I tend to lurk too much, and don't give my opinion because I often agree with the likes of TOPTB and the Skipper, and I feel that I don't have anything to add. Here are my nominations: Best football knowledge: TOPTB Best general knowledge: Fulham Broadway Best newcomer: iseah100 Best article writer: Alex, Best graphics and videos producer: Feroze7 Best staff member: Fulham Broadway Funniest forumer: Stingray. Most-liked forumer: The Skipper. Wisest forumer: TOPTB. Most controversial: Won't praise anyone for being controversial just for the sake of it, you need reasoning to back it up. Biggest contributor: TOPTB. British Member of the Year: TOPTB. International Member of the Year: ME!!!! Nah, umm.... Barbara has to take that one

Come on, does it matter that much to you?

I can't remember how many times haranr has spurred his 'X is a fact or you are mad'-crap lately. It was annoying as hell the first time, and still is. You know Costa flops, you knew Fabregas would go to United, can I have the lottery numbers please? Also what is the purpose of life?

I didn't claim that you mentioned Torres mate. But you indirectly keep bashing Mourinho and the team, and praise Torres for even the tiniest achievements. Bugger off. I have too much time on my hands, coming from a Torres fanboy. Wow. Don't have a comeback for that, so I'll just let it sink in...

Yeah, unless Torres gets the nod ahead of Diego Costa or Lukaku, or whoever we bring in as a striker. Without him winning corners like in Munich, working his arse off and providing loads of assists, how could we possibly win the League? #sackJose #inFT9wetrust #rememberTHATcornerinMunich #FT94ever #TorresFC

Holy fucking shit. Never questioned his class since he oozes it, but what a fucking top bloke Petr is. Will always be my favorite player!

Which should be self-explanatory, really. I am fully expecting the Torres fanboy/girl club to go all out with their 'Torres works hard and deserves a chance, the system doesn't fit him, remember that corner in Munich?' campaign if he doesn't score every game. It is bound to happen, sadly.
