Horrible kits in my opinion. Sky Blue has nothing to do with us, and this combo of Black/Yellow will make our players look like Wasps.

As an avid watcher of Serie A, me and many others have noted that Cavani only ever works well when his team counter-attacks (same goes for when he's in the national team.) We're evolving from a counter-attacking team into an attacking team. He really is just like Drogba, only with a higher work-rate. He would have been perfect 5 years ago. Not now.

You're right. It's just a number. Let's give Cech number 17 and give Hazard number 1.

I'm, yet again, very worried about buying yet ANOTHER player who IS NOT a winger with intentions of playing him on the wing. He prefers to be central with the occasional drift out wide; just like Mata. If they play together and Cole is attacking the left flank, there's acres of space to be exploited.

I often feel that our so-called 'scouts' just go for whoever's expensive and is being chased by other top clubs. I also feel that many of us, supporters, would make far superior scouts than those scrawny, spineless so-called 'scouts' at our club. (Ok, I'm being a bit too mean.) Basically, my point is - Barcelona scouts or Arsenal scouts or SOMEONE with good scouts are going to pick up on this kid, and we won't. Why? Well, our scouts are shit, unfortunately. Can't wait to see this boy's future. He's called the "Spanish Pirlo", and rightly so. (No, the bellow video isn't a clip of his 'best moments' which tricks you into believing he's the next best player in the world)

For those of us who use Facebook, this is pretty cool in my opinion - The official Chelsea Facebook page has the 2nd most 'likes' out of all English clubs (Man Utd being 1st). Also, whenever you refresh the Chelsea Facebook page, we get around another 5 'likes' ! So.. we're averaging maybe around...2 new fans per second right now? http://www.facebook.com/ChelseaFC

I'm worried now that we're not getting linked with any defenders. If Ivanovic is to play right-back, we NEED one more or even TWO more centre backs, and at least 1 more top right back. We're European Champions now - not just contenders. We are not "A" team, we are now "THE" team. We can't stay "THE" team with depth which is only as deep as the sub bench. NEED.MORE.PLAYERS!!! >

Since Kagawa is now basically Manchester United's now, can we please pretend he's absolutely awful, will fail in the Premier League, is just a flashy version of Ji-Sung and how glad we are that we didn't sign him etc. please?

I'm glad I no longer have to see his tiny red nose.

This signing has me ecstatic, and if Hulk comes too, then wow. I believe our team is now going to be based around those two players pretty much. I originally believed we'd play a 4-2-3-1 next season like Manchester City do or like how Liverpool used to do, but it would seem we're going more down the Real Madrid way of a 4-2-3-1. Hazard will be the Di Maria-like player, while Hulk will be our C.Ronaldo-like player (there really are tonnes of similarities between Ronaldo and Hulk.) Lampard will act like Xabi Alonso I assume, while Ramires may be slotted in ahead of Mikel to act like Khedira. Although we won't be a team who crosses into the box much, I believe that our dribbling on the flanks and through-balls down the middle will more than make-up for that. Welcome Hazard. Please don't flop. If you do, I'll piss on your car.

Hazard isn't official they said. Hazard won't be announced until mid-June they said!!!!!

WHICH TEAM SHOULD I FOLLOW? Ok, so I want to start following a team in Spain, but can't decide which team to go for. I'm stuck between: • - Athletic Bilbao • - Atletico Madrid • - Valencia I'm looking for a team who actually use some of their youth (unlike us, hehe), hence Athletic Bilbao being in there. I'm not a fan of the Basque-only policy they have though (I wish they'd just make it a Spanish-only policy), and it doesn't look like they'll be winning much any time soon. They seem like a naive bunch (the players.) Atletico Madrid are in there simply because I like the kit, fans, Falcao (who could be leaving due to money issues between Atletico and Porto), location (I really like Madrid) and the way they play. I also adore Diego, but I'm not sure if he'll be returning now that his loan is finished. It's also nice getting to see Courtois play. Valencia...Valencia... Valencia. Now, I like their history, I like their style of play, and I love some of their ex-players (such as Mata), but it seems like they're a club who scratch and claw into 3rd place in the league, and then sell off their best players, such as Mata, Silva, Villa. I understand that there are some financial issues at the club. Are these issues likely to be gone any time soon? I've also noticed that Valencia seem a bit inconsistent. They'll smash a team 5-0, then lose 5-0 themselves in their next game. I'd also like to know the following: • Out of the teams, who has the best/loudest fans in the stadium on match day? • Are any of those teams planning on moving to a new stadium any time soon? • Who uses their youth more; Valencia or Atletico Madrid? • Which team looks most likely to win something within the next 3 or so seasons? Thank you guys.

Edinson Cavani has today been cut to 6/4 to join Chelsea from 10/1. Surprising. I really can't see him leaving Napoli this summer.

I still find it amazing that it was Torres who won us the corner, which was then headed into the goal by Drogba. I was sure that a new apocalypse would occur with them both on at the same time.

For those of us who want beautiful passing, teamwork, attacking football with loads of creativity and positive movement... Pep isn't for us..or well he shouldn't be. You know who should be? Lucien Favre - Swiss manager of Borussia Monchengladbach. They play the most beautiful and awe-inspiring football in the country (Germany). They do base their foundations the same way Barcelona do, but there are far more 'hoofed' balls, areal duels etc. than you would see over in Spain. They just let go of their version of Messi in the form of Marco Reus, but if reports are to be believed, Junior Hoilett is joining them on a 4 year deal to try and fill that void. The manager got the team to a 4th place finish this season - Improving on a 12th place finish the previous season. Here is what they can do -

Hulk wins the ball back quite well, doesn't he? Good to see.

Rumours have it Hulk starts for Brazil - Rafael; Danilo, Thiago Silva ©, Juan, Marcelo; Sandro, Rômulo, Oscar; Hulk, Leandro Damião, Neymar.

Thought - As West Ham United have released Rob Green and don't have a huge transfer budget, perhaps this could be the perfect loan move for Thibaut. West Ham will enter at the bottom of the table, clawing as hard as they can to stay in the Premier League. That's a similar pressure on the players as the guys at the top end of the table trying to win the thing! I think he needs to experience true gritty football soon. Atletico Madrid have done him good, but if he goes back again, I doubt he'll learn anything further.

As much as I hate many of the current Barcelona team and what they've done to us a few times over the years, It is a bit of an honour to be a great rival of theirs considering they're apparently the 'poster boys of football' etc. Thinking of it, the only players I like in that team are Valdes (Only because he's a spitting image of my cousin lol), Puyol and Xavi.

Anyone got any idea if Hulk will be starting for Brazil tonight vs. Mexico? Or is the manager likely to rotate?

He confirmed to Sky last night that he wouldn't mind a move here, but insisted there had been no contact between us and his agent (although when saying that, he stopped making eye-contact, began to scratch his head, and looked a little awkward.)

Guys - We were linked with him because AVB was our manager. There's really nothing more to it. I highly doubt a move will be made, but I'd be happy to be proved wrong. He's a fine player.

I was impressed by Lukaku today. His touch is less subtle than that of a pedophiles, so that needs working on, but aside from that, great few minutes, or however long he was on the pitch for. I really liked it when he ran into Hart Best part of the game. Back to seriousness - This boy needs playing time. I personally believe he should go on loan to Lille along with De Bruyne. Hopefully the management don't put him out to Vitesse.

Eden Hazard created six goalscoring chances today, twice as many as any England player. Good stat.

THIS is what separates us from other fans - WE are smart. WE see the quality in him, even if his team lost. He was played out of position. Simple. Still oozed quality in almost every touch, pass, flick and cross (apart from 1 early one). All other fans will be going " HAHAHA HE'S SHIT, HE DIDN'T SCORE 50 GOALS. KAGAWA >>> HAZARD " and blah blah.
