Term-X

All he'll be doing is running around cones and using the gym, if he wants 'practise games' with pros he can do that with his uncle at QPR. Beckham trained with Arsenal during LA Galaxy's off-season; why the fuck does Frank need a squad number and a place on the bench to boot.

See, this is why Rio got it spot on, he went to relegation fodder, keeping his distance from United.

Can we conduct another I.Q test on him?, might have been a mistake..

So is this his idea of a "proper goodbye", making his last club in the Premier League our direct rival? I'm sure there are quotes somewhere saying he would never play for another PL club.

Pellegrini has a bone to pick with Mourinho, after he celebrated in the city dugout, watch him bring Frank on against us. If.. 'if', it is just about training and running around a few cones, he can do that anywhere. JT would NEVER do this to us, he'd take the fans perspective, proper chels.

Just hope JT never does anything like this, a 'proper' chelsea ambassador. He'd be thinking of the fans, and how we'd react.

It is.. yes, because one club is in fucking-america and the other is in our own backyard who also happen to be direct rivals...

If he's on loan for a season, he'll be part of their trophy celebrations/parades if they win anything. Just the idea of him coming back to the PL in such a 'direct' way is sickening, at least if it's relegation fodder it's not so bad.

Kostas got it spot on tbh..

Fuck sake.

That was actually the most unpopular badge in Chelsea history. ^ Chelsea did the market research before deciding what the fans wanted. If we we're gonna go for the 'throwback look' then you use the 1950's badge which is similar in style...

Another angle of that Totti stunt.. Legend.

The branding should always be consistent. Apple don't release a new macbook with this on it..

New Monaco Away kit..

Hugh?, what do you mean by that.. Mata was on the road to becoming a Chelsea legend, but Mourinho proved he had all the power by selling him. Mourinho got rid of him, not the club, not the higher ups.

There is no protection from the 'higher-ups', Roman sold the back to back Chelsea player of the year because Mourinho didn't fancy him. It really is a very simple case with Torres.. no club in world football will match his wages.

We got £18m for KDB, who signed for £6.7m and had only been at the club for 2 years prior. Not to mention what Alex mentioned about the loan fees we received.. And what do you mean by 'youth academy'?, to have them at our academy isn't costing anything on the FFP books, it's excluded.

It's very new, no club has ever operated like this before, not on this scale. As Fernando has rightfully mentioned, those Porto & Ajax players were part of the team and grew within the first eleven. The difference is that we stockpile youths, who are Chelsea players by 'technicality only', the numbers don't lie. It's clearly a ploy, as madmax mentioned we had to find some way to combat FFP, and this was it.

It has nothing to do with transfer fees or clubs wanting him, it has everything to do with the substantially high wages he earns as a Chelsea player. It's the Torres situation, on a lesser scale.

Similar situation with Torres, his wages are too high, he won't take a pay cut.

PSG's 'Rumoured' 3rd kit..

PSG away kit.. Nike are great at 'presenting' the shirt with glossy pics, but when you see them up close they don't look so great. They've gone for red shorts, which look a bit out of place..

On paper it looks good.. but not really, we'd still have the same problems with Mata in a Mourinho system.

What the fuck do you expect him to say?, he's shit.. I wish there was a club able to match his wage demands? Jose is being diplomatic.

^ I always remember what Gary Lineker said in regards to this... Every young player thinks they are the exception to the rule, they needed that self believe to make it in the first place.
