Perhaps its because he's disinterested in the French League... I mean when the average attendance at your home stadium is 10-15 thousand in a stadium that has little to no atmosphere, its kinda draining. Besides look at him for Colombia ! He's a beast

He's younger, stronger, faster and just overall... he's better !

Jose Mourinho is back in the hunt for Radamel Falcao as he looks for Chelsea’s next number nine. The Blues boss is going to watch Monaco’s super striker in action for Colombia against highly-rated Belgium on Thursday before considering giving the green light to a British record £60million bid. Falcao chose the tax haven in the summer when Chelsea were among his other admirers, but whispers of a potential quick move out of France have emerged. Chelsea spies have been watching Falcao in case there is a chance, but despite scoring regularly there are concerns within the club that he is not being physically tested enough in the French league to judge him. The Special One is keen to see how Falcao performs against Belgium’s big, strong side - a perfect preparation for playing in the Premier League. Buying Falcao - and finding a way round his wages - make it a difficult transfer to pull off. But above all Mourinho wants to be sure Falcao is up to the demands of English football. Mourinho wanted a top striker in the summer, failing to land Wayne Rooney or Robert Lewandwoski and settling for veteran Samuel Eto’o. But it is still a missing piece of his jigsaw and Falcao is one of the major candidates for the vacancy, either in January or next summer. Falcao is eligible for the Champions League this season which is another reason why Mourinho is dropping everything to see him now. Sky Sports: [The video on Sky Sports was posted on the 15th and the article on Mirror.com saying that Jose was going to be at the game for Falcao was on the 11th] http://www1.skysports.com/watch/video/9026333/is-mourinho-chasing-falcao? Lets be honest.... He probably isnt enjoying his football at Monaco. No European involvement, sub-par team and he's only got 2 goals in his last 6 league games. Mind you, its Ligue 1. Its not exactly the hardest League to score in and for a striker thats as good as Falcao, he should be scoring more. He hasnt been poor, but he's capable of doing much much better.

get fit you son of a b****

I heard he'd be back after the international break

November. November. November

I think we'll struggle. All season long, whenever a team "parks the bus" and is organized at the back (ala West Brom, Newcastle) we've struggled ! We've lacked invention all season long. Also, considering its November.... I reckon we wont win this one.

Aside from all of the ruckus that was caused by the whole "lost passport" shit.... You might think that im being a bit of a twat for saying this but... HE NEEDS TO BRING MORE TO THE TABLE !! So far this season, Im sorry but im looking at the Aaron Ramseys and the Daniel Sturridges - who aren't as talented as Eden or even close to him... yet, they've been excellent ALL season long. What is that due to ? End product !! If Ramsey can add end product to his game, then why the fuck cant Hazard ? For 32million you expect him to be in excellent form throughout the season. Look at Aguero. Different role in his team but he wins the big games for his team. Eden sadly does not. Eden has been in England for a year and a bit now... he's fully adapted ! So he needs to make his presence felt. The one game all season that i was impressed by his performance was against Bayern. He was terrific on that night. But, since that night in August, he hasn't shown us that kind of form again. Thats a major disappointment, especially because he is soo talented. Also, as Chelsea fans, we are always going to be biased towards our players. Its natural. But im sorry, Hazard doesn't deserve to be in the shortlist for the Ballon D'or. In 2013, in now way has he been in the top 23 players in the world. Talent wise, he's in the top 10 but form wise and influence wise.... he's faar from the top 23 players in world. The fact that people are saying such things as "If Neymar is there, why not Eden" astounds me ! Neymar won his country the Confederations cup and has been Barcelona's best player so far this season outshining LIONEL MESSI. With all due respect to Hazard, he hasn't done anything that can be considered even remotely comparable to that. Now that he's in this position of respect and admiration by the most powerful men in the footballing world, he has to back that up ! He needs to make his presence felt and take the game by the scruff of the neck !! MORE GOALS, MORE ASSISTS... Common Eden !! Sincerely, a concerned and kinda disappointed Chelsea fan

Not bothered about the starting XI. I wanna see all of our players put in 100% None of the bullshit we saw at St. James'. Do you guys see how Arsenal are playing ? Theyre at the top of the league for a reason. We need to step our game up because so far this season the only times ive been genuinely satisfied with our play/work rate has been Bayern, Hull (first half), Spurs (second half), Steaua and Man City. Other than that, we havent really played really well. Especially when we're at home, i expect us to outplay our opponents and play some champagne football while we're at it. That just hasnt happened enough this season.

Never a dull moment with this chap... Get well Nando

Aguero is on a great run of form; Silva has been terrific; Negredo is a threat and they have Yaya. Im not confident...

Views on the game: Messi was shitRonaldo was shitWhy didnt Isco start let alone come on as a subIniesta is still Barca's genius in midfieldNeymar was brilliant Bale is shit Khedira tried to be like Lampard and failed horriblyAlexis is back to his Udinese form

Anyone watch the full production of 'Fernando Torres: Screen Time' ?? If so, was it any good ?

I must say, the long balls we keep playing up to Ba has taken away from the threat that Mata, Oscar and Schurrle pose. The 3 behind the striker havent really seen much of the ball in the area of the pitch that they would be most comfortable. Although the long balls to Ba has paid off, I feel like this needs to change in the second half mostly because its making our Schurrle and Mata look like shit, but also because the sun isnt in Ruddy's eyes any more

I believe in you Kev !! Show your talent :blue scalf:

Am I the only one who thinks that KDB would do better than Schurrle

BEWARE STEAUA, JUAN IS BACK INFORM !!! He does score alot away from home

If you missed the match.. here's Juan Mata's performance

Who would have thought we'd be saying this 4-5 months ago ? Honestly, Mourinho pisses me off sometimes !! I feel like the reason Juan played so poorly is because Jose deprived him of the freedom he had under RDM and Rafa. He had the freedom of the pitch under these managers... and we saw the results ! 19 goals and 35 assists... THATS WHAT HE BRINGS TO THE TABLE !! He looked out of sorts at Swindon. He did play one delicious pass in the first half but he just looked like he didnt really belong ! Whenever he tracked back in order to ''impress Mourinho'' it broke my heart ! He made quite a few niggly tackles and its all because that isnt his thing! Do you see Messi/Ozil/Iniesta tracking back all the time ? And are they made second choice to a player inferior to them even tho they can play together in the same team ?? Mou, FIX THIS !!

We should be them ! That is of course if we have our players fit... Tough looking schedule tho

Just heard the news now... Soo sad !! I hope he comes back stronger and better. I was really hoping he was gonna make an impact this season Our thoughts are with you Marco

If we learned anything from the Swindon game.. its that Torres is a CUP kinda player. He's poor in the league ! He's scored 1 goal in the league all year... Eto'o should start but i have a feeling that Torres might get the nod from Jose, in that case... WERE FUCKED !

Mata is still Chelsea FC's best player... Simple :blue scalf:

Watched the Barca game and im currently watching the Real Madrid game and ive noticed a couple things... Messi isn't as involved in games as much as he used to be in the past few seasonRonaldo on the other hand is heavily involved and at all times !Neymar is looking promising; clearly not 100% adjusted to the Barca style but when he does he'll be a major asset Bale will be shite ISCO IS AMAZING !! Best youngster in the world... He's a gem
