Special Juan

Both stupid moves, don't get any dafter IMO.

Where's me god damn it.

Makes me cringe this, it really does, and I know it's down to money etc but what posses someone to lower themselves to join Monaco? I mean fucking Monaco. What an ambition less tosser.

Why might we be screwed? We have the basis here to be a superb outfit if the right signings are made. Why do people go on as if Mourinho does not come it will be the end? I want Jose as much as anyone but that doesn't mean it will happen. This football club will be fine if we don't get Jose, but regardless of him the signing are as key as the managerial appointment. Chelsea won't end if Jose doesn't come here, please remember that.

Christ I have just seen the trophy presentation from yesterday, talk about poor body language, Rooney looked like he wanted to be a million miles away to me.

Typical English media harping on about Pellegrini being average, see it's this type of short sighted mentality is why the media in this country get pelters all the time. Pellegrini is a superb manager, very clever and well respected amongst managers around the world. Listen to the English media and they will have you believe he has just come out of kids coaching. Absolute toss pots, honestly.

Until he signs it's still open. He is an option.

There is a balance required here and some careful thinking needed before we start spunking 50M plus another so called top striker, do we stick or twist here? Rooney would cost less, we also have Lukaku to bring in, there is Lewandowski to consider also. I'd like to think we can go for two things, versatility of Rooney but also keeping Lukaku right in there. But people like Lewandowski fit our style of play very well and he wouldn't be 50 odd million. This is why I say it's a big summer, very careful planning needed to get the right person/s

Agreed, we got some what lucky and looks as thought we have crossed the line. But if, if Jose comes in we need to address some very weak areas in this team and squad. The right signings are needed 100% and the right sales are also needed. The foundations of getting fourth are now solidly laid, get Jose, get the right signings and BOOM we will be good to go.

Essien was poor at his distribution but his presence would of been better than someone like Yossi/Marin IMO. Alright sending out Lukaku on loan for development but not when you start a season with just two forwards and trying to challenge of every front, that was crazy.

Yep, that second string line up is exactly what I am saying. It will allow us to rest players but still pose a serious attacking threat and that for me is exactly what we have struggled with and as already seen, Hazard and Mata are knackered and with those options this will be less likely the case.

Exactly, and having the ability and option to call for players like Schurlle, Lukaku or even Rooney from the bench is a massive difference from Benayoun and Marin. Massive summer for us.

His versatility would work here, he can rotate positions if needed and also giving is a much bigger depth and pool to choose from. A front four of Hazard, Mata, Oscar and Rooney could be potentially lethal........and Jose too? Wow.

It's Jose all day long for me.

I like Falcao but if his choice is Monaco then so be it, there is other fish out there. Go Chelsea.

He's gone simple as that.

United fans had a go at us for flags...Anyone see that with all those flags? Fucking wankers.

I don't think he will play for United again.

Terrible footballer. Yet walks away with winning a CL medal.

Jose to City...

How are you pal?

SKY have it....he's gone.

I don't really care in all honesty. I am just glad they are battling like fuck and we aren't.

No, Lukaku.

We all thought City v Wigan was a done City deal. Ya just never know.
