The Bos was in training today...

Gonna pick up a training kit when I go down to the store next lol, need one anyway, and to get the DVD's from last season too

He's the best left back in the world, we can't get rid We won't become like Arsenal, lol He's the best left back in the world, we can't get rid We won't become like Arsenal, lol If Ash goes, our England contingent in the starting XI goes from 3 to 2, massive change eh. And these players won't be playing for England in 2 years anyway imo.

What a horrible injury he ended up with...I just hope he recovers

For me he should retire because England never did suit him and nobody apart from us likes him in an England shirt, I don't care to be honest, I'm ready for Englands next generation and I would be happy if Lamps retired and said sod off to everyone else

^ Agreed, our youth that were promised 1st team roles (Matic, Van Aanholt, Borini, Kakuta and Bruma was it?) will all be present too I think. Surely Bosingwa will be back by then?

People are acting like he's a cunt or something, I'm glad we've signed someone for one, and I think a couple more are to follow next week, this is the first of more good things, I didn't want Carlo to be our manager but look how that turned out, welcome Yossi

I think most people are suck on not wanting him to leave but understanding his decision...

Indeed I believe Matic will fill Ballacks role, the guy already is bursting with confidence, Kakuta for obvious reason we all know his ability. Bruma too, I think he's phenomenal and we have another real gem with him. Borini I'm pretty sure will make it because Carlo has a lot of faith in the young lad, every interview he mentions that he see's Fabio like Inzaghi so...Tore would be a nice to make it up too, we would make a lot of money on him and he's a beastly opponent, it's like having Drobga on the wing! (is he training with the first team yet?) Joshy too is great (Englands Messi!) haha. Cork I think is leaving even though I don't want him to, he tends to have some supporters slightly torn, some think he can make it, some think he can't. What about Kaby too? the tiny midfielder we have, great feet and has a temper on him but when he you know, goes through puberty and stuff he could be able to hold his own a bit more too

Glad to have been there for some of his games! great player to us and great professional, he'll complete 1000 played games next season too I believe in Brazil

I don't agree with Blue. Ivan won't be playing RB imo or will constantly be competing with the Bos and will fill in CB when needed. Carv isn't dead weight by any means but for the last 2 seasons I thought he was on his way, he's one of the few players we would get money for. We'll just have to see what happens eh

Had the same feelings about him to be honest but glad he's found a club, not everyone can make it as a footballer but if you're playing every week and on 18k a year you've made it! lol

Did he apologies? lol I loved it to be honest XD my sig shows that...

^ He's talking about Matej (sp?) Delac, we signed him during the whole Kakuta banning situation

Something needs to be done, ultimately I see it as Stoch making the decision, more or less guaranteed first team football for next season which is what he wanted so good for him if he wants to make decisions like that

And Roma and Juve, they all have a chance at winning it now!

I agree that we need to tie down our youngsters now with heavy release clauses I like Kakuta having the no.10 in the near future too, always thought it would be that way, next season is so crucial

Or wins things, wonder how much we gave Man City seeing as Studge came away with 2 medals this season

Sinclair has no chance imo, after not impressing at Wigan which was good for him he never got much time, similar for Di Santo, everyone can't make it here. Next season is so crucial for us

We don't need Aguerro at all, he hasn't been good in the last 2 seasons as well, bah

I'm really disappointed we let him go, I guess it was the players choice more than the clubs. I have a feeling that in light of this, we're making two signings, both world class, winger & midfielder, who though? I don't know! lol

^ Don't know. It's confirmed on Stamfordthelions twitter though, just released "Big fan of Twitter, Juliano Belletti, joins Joe Cole and Michael Ballack in leaving Chelsea at end of this month."

I think with all the players leaving, Joe, Ballack, Deco, Ferreria, Belleti and Carvalho. We need 2 signings, or we'll make 2 good signings imo. I really think Matic will come into the squad properly next season

Yeah, he's 30 so as far as bringing down the age goes....lol But on the Shed loads of people want Pirlo again lol.... Who knows eh? by September we'll know the squad!

Sad to see Joe Leave. Expected it but when it actually happens it's sad for me, he was one of my absolute favourite players and one of the best we had. Good luck Joe, great player and all the best. Now with him and Ballack gone it's a big time for the club to consider who / if they will bring anyone in
