Thendo

He used to work (maybe still does?) for Chelsea TV, doing those player songs and stuff... Probably just reacting to Cuadrado and Ramires being out of the squad or something tho... edit:

Come on man...Calm down, Baba isn't fit yet and has been training alone this week, he wasn't going to start. Yeah we all want Ivanovic out of the XI but there's no other options ( playing Cahill/Zouma as rb or even Aina would be even worse imo...). So you're saying we should sack José solely on him playing Ivanovic?...sure...that makes total sense... Im taking a break from this thread...

Hmm no Ramires...

No Baba though, No suprise tho since he apparently trained by himself this week.

Zoom Zoom and Pedro starts!

Can't see the pic but he was at Heatrow a couple of weeks ago, so its probably from then.

Ehm, where did you find that text? It doesn't say that in that article. It's probably true tho, atlough I highly doubt we'd send him to the Belgian league.

google translate : #Chelsea, concrete attempt #Pogba: but the #Juventus point is, the wall http://gianlucadimarzio.com/news-cat/chelsea-tentativo-concreto-per-pogba-ma-la-juventus-fa-muro-il-punto/ … #calciomercato

Seems like he'll be part of the first team since he's been given nr 16. No need to give him a number if he were of to Vitesse.

Can't see it happening. No reason for Real to sell, they don't really need the money and why would they sell their #1 striker with just a couple of days left in the market? Even if they were to play Ronaldo as striker as some have suggested, they still are left without a good backup.

Decent game by Newcastle, shame Cisse had to mess up that counter attack .

Yup, that's probably where it came from.

No idea, might be this one lol.

SkyNigeria where are you when we need you?

As has always seemed to be the case we've tried to play it "fair and clean" with all this ffp stuff, which is starting to feel quite silly now seeing how these regulations turned out to be a big joke. NotRomansPaintCompany ltd anyone?

City have their very dodgy UAE deals aswell, which ffp somehow allow. It's all a big joke.

I agree with the point that Mourinho should do more to promote the youth and I was just as annoyed as everyone else when he hyped it up as the "academy day" etc and only played RLC a couple of minutes at the end. He has to actually trust them even if they don't impress in the "first 10 minutes". I think and hope that RLC will get that chance this season, but in the end even if he doesn't, I think it would be mad if people talked about replacing José, one of the best managers in the world (if not the best), solely on that reason, as some already are...

But, but Oscar wasn't injured it was just José lying to avoid criticism of not playing him vs city...

Stability in the manargerial position is a good start to some academy kids eventually breaking through. Every manager has his own favourites among the youngsters, Ancelotti - Mceachran, Rafa - Ake etc, and Mourinho - RLC, possibly Solanke. Its a long process especially at a big club such as Chelsea with pressure to win titles every year and swapping manager, as some here are in/directly hinting at, would push back players like RLC's chances to make it even further Imo.

Some newspapers claiming this was a Roman signing, and José didn't want him here... Have you spoken to the manager? What did he say? He is one of the main reasons why I’m here. He phoned me a few times and said he needed me to make the team stronger.

I would be happy enough if Juve take Cuadrado from us let alone sell us Pogba, the latter which wont happen.

Berget again, with the last kick of the game! 3-2 will do with 2 away goals for Malmö.

Get in Malmö!

So we're getting Pogba?
