Pretty obvious that Jose listed only wingers. And he didn't consider Oscar as a winger, but as a "number 10".

Chelsea Football Club is pleased to announce Tomas Kalas has signed a new three-year contract. http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/07/new-contract-for-kalas.html

or maybe it was just one game and people shouldn't make long-term conclusions from it.

It was great to see Chelsea game in a months. Even if it's friendly. Even if we lost.

Btw, NYRD plays theirs reserve team. Most of them didn't even kick a ball in 19 games this season.

Falcao will play 30 minutes against Barcelona, according to Jose. He'll miss game against PSG also.

He said in his first interview: "I used to things like that", but a few days later he completely changed his tune and talking about how this gives him nightmares and how he can't work anymore, etc.

What? Where did you hear that?

Jose has said a few weeks ago that he doesn't want a Portuguese players this summer. And he said same thing last summer, as I can remember.

Jose Mourinho has ruled out a switch for Belgian Axel Witsel. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jul/21/chelsea-jose-mourinho-everton-john-stones-roberto-martinez?

Confirmed. A season long loan with an option to buy.

Chelsea are in pole position to sign the Ghana defender Baba Rahman from FC Augsburg, with the German club expecting an opening bid of around £14m for the 21-year-old this week. With Filipe Luís, the Brazil full-back, set to leave Stamford Bridge and return to Atlético Madrid for £16m after just one season in the Premier League, José Mourinho has moved quickly to replace him by following up earlier interest in Rahman. Italian champions Juventus have also indicated that they are ready to make a bid along with Roma, although Rahman is understood to prefer a move to the Premier League. Augsburg are holding out for a fee of €25m (£17.5m), although they are likely to accept slightly less for a player who joined them from Greuther Fürth only last summer. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jul/21/chelsea-baba-rahman-augsburg-pole-position?

Surely that must be bad phrasing and they mean Douglas Costa as Ribery's replacement.

According to reports Lahm earns around £160k per week. So, even if Shaw doesn't earn more than Lahm, he can easily earn anything between 100k and 160k, and it won't be more than Lahm's salary. Edit: didn't notice previous posts. Sorry.

He was starter at Middlesbrough

Atletico is a very interesting market. Sometimes concessions may benefit you in the future.

Luis Filipe is heading back to Atletico Madrid on a €3 million loan deal which can be extended through 2016/17. Luis Filipe will return to the Calderon: he's expected to take the medical on Thursday. Diego Simeone is ready to welcome back Luis Filipe. [Di Marzio]

Because he's almost always telling the obvious things.

Chelsea sold a higher percentage of tickets for their home games than any club in England last season. Stamford Bridge – a ground the Premier League champions are planning to redevelop – was at 99.8 per cent capacity on average during Chelsea's march to the title.
