Reddish-Blue

Andre Ayew to Swansea seems likely to happen Very good signing for them

Alexis Sanchez (I think he's better than Oscar, Willian and Cuadrado)

Hearing rumours of Zlatan leaving PSG... Hopefully we try to sign him

I think the bigger question would be: is Salah willing to sit on the bench and make 15 minute cameos at Chelsea or would he rather play as a starter for another club?

He should go for the sake of his career, I love Azpi but Filipe Luis is a much, much better LB, doesn't deserve to be benched

Time to close this thread!

Unless France has an injury crisis, Zouma won't make the starting lineup. Kid has top-tier talent (even the current France coach has said he's a future leader) but he's not there yet Totally agree...if some of the French youngsters develop as expected, that 2018 team will be stacked!

I thought he was challenging Cahill for the starting CB spot...and that he would build on his performances from this season I just don't see the benefit of Zouma going to Italy for 6 months Something doesn't add up about these rumours!

Falcao will be Torres 2.0 Surely there are better options out there...

I just don't see it as demotivating. It sounds like tough love from Mourinho, if RLC wants to make the first team, he's gotta accept the challenge

This is perfect, hopefully RLC rises to the challenge and earns a spot in the first team (in the next 2-3 years)

A passionate fan cares about Chelsea players whilst they are playing for the club as well as when they leave the club A forum fan only cares about how a player does at Chelsea, they don't really care about anything else to do with the club :blue scalf:

Ivanovic has another weakness, he runs up the pitch to join the attack and most of the time, he looks like a headless chicken

Exciting times for the Chelsea youngsters Hopefully we don't send Colkett on pointless loans like McEachran

How much do you think Kondogbia is worth at the moment? Could we get him for a reasonable fee?

Solanke...what a miss

Newcastle are a disgusting club, pathetic owner, which is why this announcement doesn't surprise me Imagine if they got relegated, they'd probably try and keep Jonas and Ryan at the club

Until City fix up their central midfield issues, it doesn't matter if they buy KDB, Sterling or any other attacking mid

Not surprised about Ryan Taylor, decent squad player, not that hard to replace As for Jonas, maybe this is a blessing in disguise, he is free to move wherever he wants

Very good player and he's not even 21 yet! Good in the air, one of the top 5 players in the Bundesliga in terms of tackles per game, good concentration at his age, has a willingness to get forward, seems to enjoy a challenge He should only get better as he matures both physically and mentally

Just to clarify, RDM steered them to 6th as FC Ausburg won on the final day and took 5th place He should of been given a bit more time with Schalke..

Needs another loan spell, wouldn't really benefit from being 3rd choice at Chelsea

As per NYCFC statement: Manchester City website suggested that Lampard deal was a loan, which is an error Lampard accepted a short-term contract with City as a free agent until Dec 31 and this deal was extended to end of season There was a 'verbal commitment' from Lampard to join NYCFC from Jan 1, 2015. That was delayed until end of season Lampard is free to sign deal with NYCFC as of 1 July, 2015 It's like a slap in the face of Chelsea supporters and Mourinho by agreeing to join a title rival...initially, I thought moving to City was part of the new york contract but based on what I've read, there was no new york contract, it was a verbal commitment
