Reddish-Blue

The starting lineups aren't for the entire season....it's more along the lines of what everyone feels will be the 'preferred XI/ strongest XI' next season (without accounting for injuries, form, opponent)

Courtois Azpi - JT - Cahill - new LB Oscar(Rambo) -- Matic -- Fabregas Willian (Schurrle) -- Costa -- Hazard

The question with Oscar will always be consistency until he's able to play a part in winning back the league title I hope Oscar has a strong world cup and continues the good form with Chelsea next season

If only he could play like this for Chelsea...on a consistent basis

Not sure why we loaned him to Cologne...he'd be better off at an EPL club

http://www.espnfc.co.uk/story/1870695 Joe Cole moving to Aston Villa on a free transfer Best of luck to him

If only Costa was as good as Drogba, I'd agree

I can see where your coming from....but for some reason, he just sounds like a confused 21 year old who has received poor advice from agents/management in a World cup year I totally agree that he talks a bit too much....but he's still young, and I'm sure José and Chelsea's leadership group can teach him how to deal with press conferences and interviews

Obviously Torres will talk about new signings in a good way, he doesn't want to leave the club and risk losing 175,000 a week for putting in 2-3 good performances over the course of the season

People will realise the mistake we made when Lukaku goes on to score 20+ goals on a consistent basis (for his next club) and Costa turns out to be a flash in the pan

There is no conflict, you have one of the best young strikers in the world and he's under contract at your club. Either use him or regret letting him go like Sturridge All this talk about mental strength, how he asked to leave the club....geez, he's 21 and still maturing as a player and a man

The issue with Kalas is a lack of playing time. He might be more ready to be part of Chelsea's first team...but another wasted season with 3-4 appearances won't help his development

It's not about spending 30 million on a 27 year old...from what i've heard, Arsenal want to spend on a quality striker and a new RB before reinforcing the midfield..

I think the 5 year contract is a common concept Bertrand signed a 5 year contract (doubling his wage) at the end of 2012....and now he's all but gone from the club (Hull or Villa being likely destinations)

Fair point...but I just don't see any hope with Torres. The best thing for Torres would be moving back to his boyhood club in Atletico and ending his career there... If he stays, I'll support him like any other Chelsea player but deep down it hurts to see such a well-paid player fail to perform game after game after game..

His contract expires in 12 months....Sevilla had to sell him for 20 million Similar to how Van Persie was sold to United...

I get the feeling that Torres won't be leaving Chelsea anytime soon

Can't wait to see Courtois as Chelsea's #1 (Big fan of Cech...but it's time for a change)

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jun/02/borussia-dortmund-sign-ciro-immobile-torino Immobile to Dortmund, good signing.

No one mentioned a love in....Zolayes was just saying that Lambert moving to his boyhood club and Shaw moving to his boyhood club is the same thing. However, considering your biased, you probably don't really care about perspective

Script that everyone says? In Lambert's case, he's actually saying the truth!

http://www.footymatters.com/articles/english-football/premier-league/black-cats-rebuild-continues-with-1-5m-bluebird-deal/ Jordon Mutch to Sunderland for 1.5 million...if the fee is true, that's a bargain for a 22 year old HG talent

Remy is off to Arsenal...

Only fools were 'ecstatic' when Torres joined Chelsea. He was bound to flop at Chelsea, simply based on the price tag and the fact that Chelsea wouldn't be providing his goals on a platter like Liverpool did

Obviously he wouldn't give the same output for us. He's got Barca/Arsenal DNA
