Term-X

I would imagine Gourlay wants the bigger names rested for the asia tour.

Legally.. AVB and the players can smoke ganja in the dugout.

The only big stars who played against Ajax last season were Essien & Mikel. Although it should be good to see the youngsters anyway, hopefully Sturridge will start again.

Mourinho has stated many times in interviews that he still keeps in touch with the Chelsea players... I would imagine that includes Terry. He's also praised JT on many occasions as a 'great captain' etc, during his reign at inter. In fact, the guardian and a few other papers even amended and apologised for the headlines, in the aftermath of Jose's sacking. http://www.guardian....wsstory.chelsea

Silly season.

Indeed. Although considering I'm an 09 'main' member, mentioning 2 newbie members in the same sentence as me isn't quite right, considering.

It's called the law of averages. Any below average player in one of Europe's elite clubs will have chances, and score the occasional vital/priceless goal. Every single one of Kalou's appearances last season could have been given to an 'up and coming' youth player. The most ridiculous thing is that Kalou actually thinks he's good enough for the first team. Which means he's undervalued this club, as we simpy don't need people like that. He attacks his own team mates through the media too, which is unacceptable.

With AVB able to stamp his authority on the squad (with Romans permission). It may be enough to keep the players on their toes throughout the season, which can only be a good thing.

Exactly. The people defending Emenalo here are delusional.

Yea, he always has good form, plus.. he has 'cool' & 'free-kick' as special qualities. Which are necessary for every game imo.

Lmao at the source being a link to a josh mceachran site..

Nice, so that was more or less confirmation that Chelsea have been in contact with his club in regards to a transfer.

Yea, I’ve had the pages freezing problem, every other site is fine expect for talkchelsea. It's only a minor inconvenience, but still.. No. The avatar rules are too strict as it is. You can only have an image quality of up to 50kb, which is far too low.

He's being linked with Real Madrid again… I predicted him to leave last season for his spanish swansong. Although he has more chance of winning the league here imo, unless Real can stop Barca.

Source?

Emenalo breathing down AVB's neck.. Just what we need..

The google translation was terrible.

So they've based an entire article on a youtube clip...

Talksport...

I imagine the only way to get into the away end, is to buy tickets from the chelsea box office? Will have to go undercover as a vitesse arnhem fan then..

The dream team!
