http://www.football-espana.net/31261/‘no-bayern-lewandowski-deal’ If you want Lewandowski apparently there's still hope as Klopp says there has been no official offer from Bayern just a lot of talk from their camp and he's going to put an end to it in the next day or two. Be prepared for "cash plus De Bruyne" articles in the coming days if that happens.

I know nothing about the legitimacy of "El Economisto" but I believe Mata goes nowhere and Chelsea should pursue Thiago after U21 Euros on top of that.

I'm not feeling sorry for Klopp because he's brilliant and he will find adequate replacements. He could fill in Goetze's spot with Schurrle or dare I say DeBruyne. BVB will always remain competitive as long as Klopp is there. He could have been more strict and refused to sell Lewandowski to his biggest rival but with his eye for scouting talent I trust they will rebound

I've watched a lot of Vitesse matches all season, mainly to observe our three loanees and the kid is good. He's got that Lampard-esque feel about him, likes to make those late runs in the box. Worked well combining with Bony and should form a nice partnership in midfield. I can't see him being loaned out either, he can get into this squad straight away.

FFS just looking at his smirky face at the top of this site makes me wanna puke.

Torres the playmaker, lol. Getting Hazard, Oscar and Mata was so THEY can be the playmakers to supply Torres with goal chances but he wanders the fuck off to give THEM space and so like naturally they are like "well fuck you then I'll have score for you're stupid ass is hiding by the sideline!". Or at least I'd like to think they thought that. I hope Torres feels like mission accomplished, he's everything with Chelsea almost in the same manner Paulo Fereirra has and now can fuck off. (sorry I don't give a shit about his Europa goals) that's second rate Mickey Mouse bullshit. Anyone who defends Torres is either a fanboy or fucking clueless because he goes 5,000 minutes between every EPL goal and how the fuck are Chelsea going to dethrone United or City at the top with a sack of dog shit like Torres?

I'd ship J.T. off to Galatasaray before selling Luiz

With Luka this means no more Mata or Hazard running back to the halfway line to get a five yard pass from Mikel or Ramires. Luka will hit them in stride as well as Lukaku.

Gerard Deulofeu and Christian Tello. Are their chances of regular first team football with Barcelona now greatly diminished with the arrival of Neymar?

If Mou brings anyone from Real, Luka Modric is the only one I want

I see Marca and a Barcelona based radio station RAC1 are saying Barca are putting "feelers" out there and willing to accept 20 million for Alcantara. I like his technical abilities but he's doubting his future at Barca based on lack of playing time, which is something I see him facing at Chelsea.

This two slot midfield is suddenly looking a tad overloaded by 2014. Chalobah, Ake, Loftus-Cheek will be damn close by then to make a serious push in starting midfield, and by then you have Mikel, Ramires and Romeu on top of that, all vying for two spots behind the attacking midfield. Mourinho could even add to this by buying another DM. I can't see Chalobah in central defense because he's too much like Luiz and they'll need a steady rock to stay back there to cover them going forward. It's a good problem though because at least you know there is talent from within to build upon now.

Mourinho has been linked to so many Madrid players following him to Chelsea, thanks to lazy journalists, but when Raphael Varane was mentioned, I thought there is a great young defender like him here in Chalobah whom Jose can work with. Probably not this coming season but definitely the following season.

At least Moutinho isn't going to Spuds and Rodriguez to United. That's a good thing.

I'm all for reinforcements but I'll be much happier if certain Belgian loanees return to the team on top of that.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/next-chelsea-manager-zinedine-zidane-1909146? The great Zinedine Zidane summed it up best why Mourinho is leaving Madrid and confirms he's coming home to Chelsea. Of course the Mirror writer adds his cunty twist to it referring to Jose coming back with "his tail between his legs" but Zidane knows Mourinho will never lose that swagger.

I doubt Napoli ever sent a rep to London for Cavani talks, merely there to chat with Rafa at the time. Great player but for me it's time Chelsea held up their end of all the "youth movement" talk and usher in Lukaku already.

He's not Chelsea's youth player for one, let's get that straight. He was Genk's first teamer as was Anderlecht's Lukaku. Chalobah is Chelsea youth for example not KDB. As for where KDB fits in, let's see what he can do after a full season in the EPL first before anointing him "better than Oscar" OK? KDB has been given free range to do just about anything he wants on the pitch at Bremen where the mad cap manager has experimented with so many offensive formations and let KDB play everywhere but that's not going to fly in the Premiere League and he's gotta be more disciplined and go through the same ups and downs that Hazard and Oscar faced before giving him all this praise. Personally I think KDB and Marin were going to be the only creative additions along with maybe Moses before the season began but then Hazard surprised everyone and said yes to Chelsea and along with Oscar, this changed everything leaving Marin to rot on the bench and KDB forced out on loan and with KDB's stock rising rapidly, Chelsea to me will cash in on him to fund a Cavani like deal.

I don't believe it. They may have showed some interest but strongly doubt this.

I hope Frank starts vs Benfica. I know there's Hazard, Mata, Oscar etc, and Rafa has gotten credit for his handling of the squad down the stretch but it was Frank in the end who cemented a top four place on Saturday and he deserves to go out a winner in the Europa final if they don't bring him back. Frank never handed in a transfer request like Shrek and maintained his classiness throughout the changes this season.

I assume Jose will announce something to the media following the Copa Del Rey final, along the lines of "I've managed my last match as Manager of Real Madrid and you the media can all go fuck yourselves" or something to that effect.

So in the end this was a repeat of Hulk all over again. Next...

Aside from Lampard's record, this was a miserable season and beating Benfica might be a consolation to some but not me. Standards have dropped considerably when Benitez views this as a successful season and Chelsea are being linked to Wayne fucking Rooney and fans actually would welcome that chia pet lab rat.

Fuck off Shrek

Chelsea will go through the motions as will Spuds in the first half, neither wanting to concede then it should get better in the second half. I'm not worried about this one, AVB is under a lot of pressure to show up his former employers but they just don't have the firepower nor the defense to deal with Chelsea. I see it as a comfortable 2-0 victory with Mata scoring and an injury time goal by Torres.
