I'd also appreciate some German members giving us some info on him. All I've seen/heard is that he's a tall forward who doesn't score or assist much. I'm probably wrong though

I'll be honest - that's baffled me.

Frank Rijkaard >>> Guardiola. If Guardiola had taken the reigns at Barcelona when Rijkaard did and Rijkaard never managed Barcelona, I highly doubt they'd be anywhere near where they have been these past few seasons. Surely Rijkaard would like to swap the Saudi Arabian job for the Chelsea job.

I was doing a poo with my bathroom door open (it was awfully smelly), and then my cat walked in, and oddly, began purring louder than he's ever purred in my company before, and started rolling around on the floor (him, not me.)

With the new kits, I believe we need a new website design (I mean the official Chelsea website, not this site.) It looks like some amateur fan designed it. The navigation is crap, the "Legends" section doesn't exactly feel prestigious or nostalgic, and it looks like everything has been made to fit on one page. As European Champions, we need a website which will catch the eyes of new fans, keep casual fans interested, and show that we mean business. Appearance means a lot. Here are 2 examples of other football websites which I believe ours should not be too dissimilar to - http://www.acmilan.com/en http://www.asroma.it/ We're champions, and it's time to start looking like it. As I often say and enjoy (sort of) doing, if anyone else gives a F, I'll try start up a petition.

I'm not sure if people realise, and I could be completely wrong here, but I think I know why we're going after Hulk - 1st of all, Big Roman can afford it, so no worries there. We got over £100mil from the Champions League/Premier League last season. That, on top of his own money, means we're pretty good financially. Anyway, to my point - Last season, we had a starting 11 which most would agree was our 'strongest' team - and then we had bench/squad players to step in if one of our main XI players got injured. That's not good enough for European Champions. We have to have quality throughout the entire squad, so that if someone gets injured, it's not as big of a loss. It also means we can rotate players and keep everyone fresh as possible without lowering the strength of our line-up significantly. The reason for Hulk being brought in is simple IMO - Roman wants to continue the instant success and try for the Champions League again next season (hence splashing so much on Hulk), while also building towards the future with the likes of De Bruyne etc. Real Madrid have a top player in every position, goalkeeper aside, for example. That's what we need to truly be a top team. (I'm not trying to say that Hulk is the perfect option - I just think I understand what's going on in Roman's head.)

That man is probably the most reliable there is on Twitter when it comes to Portugal and football from my experience. Hope he's telling the truth.

We haven't had a proper attack minded team in decades. We've only ever been defensive or counter-attacking. I can't explain my levels of excitement right now for next season.

Sell Mikel for £10-20mil (depends who's willing to buy). Sign Diame for free. Rotate Diame and Romeu. Sorted.

That made me hard.

I've noticed Hazard use his left foot quite a bit (he's right-footed), and it really is quite superb that he's so comfortable on his weaker side at such a young age. When he arrives, I'm going to jizz allllll over his face.

This isn't a joke - Can someone please change Fernando Torres' Wikipedia picture please? I'm hopeless at using Wiki, but I hate Torres' picture. It's from when he was at his absolute worst with us, and he looks like a school boy lost on a school trip. He couldn't look more awkward in it. A picture with him smiling or celebrating would be nice. Also, new pics for Ivanovic, Romeu, Malouda,Meireles, Cahill and Bertrand would be superb too. I'm aware this is an odd request.

Manchester United fans before, when they thought they were signing him: "New Cristiano Ronaldo!! Sign him up Fergie!!" Manchester United fans after, when he declares he'll be a Chelsea boy: "He's overrated anyway. Kagawa is better!! Look at the stats!!" ]Now,seriously - As for as stats go, they're comparing two completely different players. A winger, Hazard, whose job it is to assist, with Kagawa, an attacking midfielder, who plays directly in front of goal, whose job it is to score + assist. He's also around two years older, playing in possibly the best Borussia Dortmund team ever. What an odd bunch Manchester United fans are.

We need to start doing what Barcelona do. Expand our squad with quality players, and around 2 youth players plus 2 fringe players on the verge of becoming more regular players. What they do is, they field their strongest XI when against pretty much anyone in the top half of the table, but when facing a team like Villarreal last season (the equivalent of say, Bolton), they would field Tello and Cuenca on the wings, their star player Messi down the centre so that they could still get goals, Montoya at right back as he's coming through, a squad player at left back like Adriano so that their top left back can rest, a strong centre-back pairing to not allow any silly goals in, and then one of their experienced midfielders to calm things down for the young ones, such as Xavi or Iniesta, with someone like Thiago pairing him. We could definitely do the left-back part with Bertrand/Cole, perhaps sometimes use Kane or Hutchinson at right-back, Josh I feel still needs loaned, put Lampard in midfield for experience and then occasionally use someone like Chalobah, Piazon, Baker etc, and then down the centre have Torres, with someone like Feruz on the right and Marin on the left. Ok, I'm rambling now. I'll stop. I promise. CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE BTW!!!!!!!!!!! Still hasn't sunk in.

So - Only London club to win the CL. More Premier League trophies than Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham combined. Level on Premier League trophies with Arsenal. 7 F.A. Cups. Eden Hazard chooses us over richer Manchester City, and 'more historic' Manchester United. If there was ever any doubt, I'm sure we can confidently stake our claim as perhaps the 2nd biggest club in England behind Manchester United. Sound fair?

Yeah I heard that too ^^ re. Kalou/Shalke. For what it's worth, I've heard whispers of Bosingwa joining either Sporting Lisbon or Sevilla. The rumour has absolutely no substance as far as I'm aware however.

Other forums being up and running fine when this one isn't is/isn't a problem. It simply depends on the person. It's like a quality/quantity sort of thing. This forum here is surely the undisputed king of Chelsea forums worldwide - and while other forums may be able to handle traffic better (probably because they get less of it), the traffic themselves don't get as good quality as we get here. ALL HAIL TALKCHELSEA!

Ok, IF we do actually sign Hazard, should we be considering Fellaini next? Aside from Romeu, we don't have a SINGLE natural defensive midfielder in our squad, which is worrying. Mikel doesn't exactly bully opposing midfielders like he should, and Lamps aint exactly Makelele. I think he'd be a good addition. Would get a lot of cards, but wouldn't let many players get past him.

Rumour has it he wants the number 11 kit. I can't recall a midfielder wearing 11, and, well, meh. That's just a bit of a big deal since Drogs just left.

Just read something funny from a popular Man Utd fan on Twitter - "Don't get me wrong, I'd have loved Hazard at MUFC, but if he is happy to go to an ageing CFC team with no proper manager, his choice." Ageing? Man Utd have 7 30+ year old players. We have around 5 with Drogba leaving. If Malouda leaves, then 4, I believe.

Why can't I see anyone's nationality etc. now? </3 The fuck bruh.
