Stats

Kalou never held a permanent starting position in the team and while he is not everyone's favourite player he certainly put in his shift of goals, I liked him as a player, had a part to play with us in the FA Cup final and Champions League final and he can leave with happy memories, thanks for all Kalou.

Spot on with that mate. The more days that goes on though, the more pessimistic I am about the deal going to happen. Maicon is a quality player, which kind of RB scores the type of goals he did against Milan last season. I agree fully about the attacking/defensive abilities although Maicon is not that bad defensively but going forward his power and pace will offer a lot. Here is his goal against AC Milan if anyone forgot

You have a point, I just realised now that he is going to be 31 this month. However he is far from finished, I would rather Debuchy myself but Maicon for a RB just does things out of the ordinary, eg his goal against Milan was amazing. He is still very powerful and think he would be a good investment, but maybe not for the long term. I would prefer Debuchy but Maicon still has a lot to offer us and even if he does decline at us we already have a top RB in Ivanovic

He ticks all the boxes for me. We got Bosingwa for a stupid price and we end up releasing him. Debuchy has been a revelation at the Euros and we can get him cheaper than £10m, why not, I hope we make a bid for him and him and Brana can rotate the RB position. With all respect to Newcastle, he surely would pick us over them. I hope we get Debuchy so we have 2 quality RB at the club. You would have thought France would of miss Sagna but with Debuchy's form at Euros he may find it hard to regain his place. Whoever gets this player has got him for a bargain for sure

They play with wingbacks where he would be played

Two words: Just no!

Gourlay is doing a brilliant job. He is the reason why we are going to pass the FFP rules, the amount of revenue he is helping us with due to sponsorship deals is down to him.

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/7842486/Ivanovic-urges-Modric-move just the news I was hoping for. Seems odd we are not rekindling out interest back in him as of yet after Spurs failed to reach the Champions League again. We could really do with his creativity and considering he his bound to leave Tottenham this time round, I support his move 100%. We lacked the creative skill last season

Well if he joins Real I will be fine with, regardless of price. If he joins United for the value of what they rejected from us last season that will be a piss take. Anyway they got the battle in keeping away Modric from us, we got the last laugh in taking their place from the Champions League

Thank you, he will vastly improve us. He strikes the fear out of defenders and his goalscoring record speaks a lot. Whilst Ramires put in brilliant performances on the right wing it is not his natural position. The difference with Hulk is that he has the strength, pace, skill, technique and versitality to succeed here

The sad thing is Sturridge best performances were coming the right wing but his play seemed to be one dimensional and his performances level dropped. Hulk is expensive but no matter what league he played in I think he will be a brilliant signing. He is much better than Sturridge levek of ability and while many feel Hulk will be found out in the Premiership, I feel he can only excel with better players around him.

I like Lukaku and believe he has a brilliant future, but an £18m star does not deserve reserve football again for another season. He has got the physical and technical attributes to succeed at us but I would rather him go on loan to another team in the Premier League or another European team where he will play week in, week out. At his age, the most important thing is first team football. If he has another season of substitute appearances it will hinder his potential. It is up to RDM to see how he features in his first team plans so really depends on him

Every single season I have always been a fan of purchasing season reviews, thing I look forward to most, along with getting the new club t-shirt. The commentary is annoying, sounds a bit false. It is not that hard to use the ITV/ Sky Sports commentary that are used in the games rather than using the annoying Chelsea commentary. My brother is an Arsenal fan and also gets the season reviews of them. They use the match commentary from what they were broadcasted on, eg ITV, Sky Sports, ESPN. It makes the DVD much more exciting and thrilling to watch. The ITV commentary especially I have always liked. Although it is a 'Chelsea made' DVD I would prefer our DVD commentary to be sourced from unbiased views and based on the real match commentary we are shown on. This is the only flaw I wish would change. I don't know about this season as I should recieve my one in the post on monday, however the match length shown for a lot of our matches for the previous 2 seasons has been very short and seems to be done half-heartedly

Host of reports are saying we are one of a few premier league clubs interested in Salomon Rondon. He had a decent season at Malaga and is good both in the air and also very fast and has age on his side. They will demand a fee reportdely of around £20m or more, quite expensive but I wouldn't mind a young striker like him who has age on his side and can provide decent competition to Torres

He is still a Blackburn player as things stand

Moses is a very talented player but if you asked me do we need him I would say no. He is not proven at a big club, he is talented but we have many others who are talented. If we have the likes of Kakuta, who I hope has a Chelsea future, Sturridge, Marin, De Bruyne potential as well, Lalkovic looks a decent prospect but maybe not good enough for the first team and the likes of Ramires and Hazard and Malouda, where is Moses going to find valuable playing time? Kakuta had a decent loan at Dijon and I believe he can make the grade. If we are going to buy Moses we can't waste his potential by not playing him and this would be inevitable with the amount of attackers at the club. If it was RDM that made the reported bid for Moses it would be interesting as maybe he has plans to sell a couple of players and involve Moses in but surely this means we are not interested in Hulk anymore I guess. I really like Moses, but are there people with me in thinking it would be a waste of time for him to come here?

He didnt turn up in games against us and Dortmund this season however Bayern beat Man City thanks to 2 Gomez goals which contributed to Man City's exit from the Champions League. He also scored a hatrick against Napoli, another big team who nearly knocked us out. He scored the winner in the home game against Real Madrid and he earned the penalty away to Real Madrid which eventually led to Real Madrid being knocked out. Basel are not a 'brilliant' team however Bayern lost the first leg to them 1-0 and they needed to win the second leg and who stepped up to the task? Mario Gomez with 4 goals. So apart from all his 40+ goals, I would say he has turned up when it matters in certain big games

Looks set to move to Werder Bremen

Brilliant news 4-2-3-1 will definitely be our formation next season then. I just hope the situation does not turn into the Liverpool situation with Dalglish, who got sacked. RDM won us the Champions League and FA cup and if we hit bad form next season and he gets sacked it would be awful to think that he would of been remembered as a Chelsea player/legend to a further legend who won us the double in his stint in charge to then being sacked. Hope he does well and may he bring us the league next season. The title is the aim next season:)

How many of us think Mikel is one of the most underrated holding midfielders? I really rate him as a midfielder, his distribution is brilliant, holds the ball up well and breaks up play differently. When people looked at Mikel as a weak link, many of these views are enhanced by the media. But now his game has totally improved, hence why RDM chose him as his preferred holding mid in the team, whereas AVB seemed to lose interest. I thought he was excellent in the FA Cup final and Champiions League wins. If it wasnt for the media I am sure people would be talking about Mikel as one of the best in his positions

No way will Dortmund let another prized asset go. I am sure Kagawa will be the only one, they have just won the domestic double and want to progress not sell anymore but Blascykowski is a brilliant player, gives his all and is one of the fastest dribblers I have ever seen. Piszcek is a good right back as well

Moses is a very talented player but not in the same league as Hulk. Moses has had a good season but to join a club like Chelsea will further his development but we have got other players who are around Moses ability already such as Sturridge, Marin and so on. Hulk is real quality and while the fee is heavily inflated the club is pressing ahead with star signings. Hulk will be an absolute menace to the premier league, was impressed with him in their match against Argentina yesterday as well. He has got pace, power, brilliant technique and more importantly gets goals. I really hope we wrap up this signing

He would be a brilliant investment for the long term. A Chelsea supporter and considering the fact that Roman is Russian why not him. Plays in a no.10 role for CSKA but he has already shown that given a free role to work about in different positions for Russia he can excel brilliantly in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. Was really impressed though, shares the same birthday as me as well

We send some of your young players to Vitesse to get vital experience. Kalas performed brilliant there and maybe mroe can go there. Definitely keeping our link with Vitesse would be in the club's best interest.

Full agree, he is only 25 as well and has many years ahead of him to be a hit. Cavani has scored goals in every angle and there is nothing about him I would criticize him. Scores against big teams, big games, brilliant work rate and most importantly gets goals. What happens next season if Torres is going on a goalscoring drought "again"? We want to reach the top again and this is a signing that should be snapped up, if we got the chance, considering he is apparently cheaper than Falcao as well
