It's no secret that Dzeko has been on Mourinho's wishlist for quite some time now. He loves those types of strikers - tall, strong, holds up the ball, muscles out defenders, strong shot, great in the air, sound familiar? City are most likely looking to sell and we could probably get him a fair price at the moment. I still don't think it would happen, but Dzeko would be a nice signing. Definitely a Mou signing.

Haha how can you say that, the man idolizes you (Sheva)

Dzeko would be a dream for me personally.

The prodigal son returns. Even if we don't dominate - Mourinho at the helm just feels RIGHT. We're gonna have a lot of fun along the way, whatever happens.

Bosnian coach wins the Copa Italia in his first season, a Bosnian player scores the goal that seals it. Wonderful. I think we were linked with Lulic at one point. What an engine. Would love him here.

Called it.

Came back from the game around midnight. Atmosphere was so-so. There were A LOT more City fans than I expected. Still though, the Chelsea fans outnumbered them 65/35. Chelsea fans were louder too, starting chants, singing, etc. I'm sorry about the pictures, they're not the greatest quality. My seats were in the nosebleeds.

20M, are people mental? If we're gonna dish out that sort of cash, we could get Dzeko for the same money and he's 5 times better!

I'll be at this one! I'll post pictures guys.

City and the Yankees created a franchise? Good God, it might turn out worse than the devil seed Kanye and Kim K created.

Not a bad horse to have in the stable so to speak. Lukaku, Ba, Yilmaz, and ? = PROFIT

No

Is it the most glorious competition? Obviously not. But its a chance for this young core to lift some silverware in a transition year and build a winning mentality. We got this 2-1 Chelsea. (Torres, Mata).

To be honest, I dont want Pjanic here. Not for the reason you might think. I know what he's capable of, and what kind of a player he is. He's magic, its just that a whole flood of Bosnian bandwagon fans will flood the site like they did with the Bluemoon forum with Dzeko. Forget that. I dont need them spitting on Chelsea because Pjanic sat a game.

Not really. I wouldn't believe these Bosnian outlets too much. They'll see scouts from a team at a player's match and immediately they're "in talks." Pjanic has been inconsistent lately because of a bum ankle he suffered about a month back.

Worst manager ever.

What a classy classy individual. Players like Frank only come along every blue moon. Its cliche to say but I cant find a better example. He IS Chelsea, and epitomizes everything about this club. Forget the drama of the game, the goals for the record, and coming through in the clutch, he's just an awesome PERSON and TEAMMATE first. Frank you'll always have a pint on me.

Khedira is a good player. Why is everyone bitching? Supposedly he's an incredible worker and a great teammate. His skill is excellent, he's proven himself in Germany and in Spain, not to mention for his national team. Perfect signing.

Puma, a second tier brand for a second tier club.

Relax. I highly doubt he will go to United. Jose wants to create his own legacy, not live under someone else's shadow.

Mine?

Number 10 of Chelsea
