Maybe we are looking to play 4-3-3 next season if we sign him? Thinking something like this : Costa Hazard - Willian Ramires/Oscar - Fabregas Matic New Lb - Cahill -Terry - Azpi Cech

What's the point of posting things from twitter without a link/source...?

Sad if this is true. Since I started supporting Chelsea, Lamps has always been one of my favorite players. I can kinda understand his situation though, he wouldn't be playing much if he stayed with us next season, it's just a shame he didn't get a proper send off. Hopefully he'll get a testimonial soon, and I'm certain he will be back at the club in some sort of coaching role in the future.

He's 29 years old, I see no sense in buying him after all the talks of us building for the future etc. Wouldn't be much of an upgrade to any of our current players either.

I recall Mata studying on distance for a degree in marketing while playing for us, some footballers maybe just want to do something interesting and usefull with their spare time. Good for him!

I am still not sure what to do with the cech/courtois situation, I think it also depends on Cechs injury and recovery time.

What's funny is how Arsenal still celebrated wilder after winning the Fa-cup than Real did today

Well congrats to Carlo and Real who were the better team over the 120 mins.

Lol how is that a penalty..., Atletico fought well for 92 minutes shame they couldn't hold it...

What a shame, really thought Derby would make it. Indeed quite strange that they waited so long to sub in Bamford .

Haha, that must be it!

Wow this deal is really happening fast!

So this basically means that PSG is giving ffp the middle finger? I mean to pay such an overprice while under the ffp restrictions seems very odd...

To good to be true. If we can get 30m for him that would be great.

Very interesting article, he seems like a mature and down to earth kind of person. Might be a good option as 3rd striker to help fill the u21/homegrown requirements.

Best away kit we've had in a while, love it!

Talk about contradicting himself, or did his agent take over his twitter? Comedy!

Legend!

I can see where your coming from, but I think its hard to judge him on that factor after just being with us for a couple of months. But imo he's one of the better candidates for it in a year or two. Hopefully he will step up when needed.

I think he will be good for them.

Anyone else feel that he could be captain material in a couple of years? I mean he ticks most of the boxes; he seems very mature and professional in interviews and speaks english perfectly well. He is also a regular starter coming into his prime years and have already been at the club a couple of years. We'll have JT for atleast another year or so, but I belive Matic is the best choice when JT inevitably retires.

Amusing but at the same time sad to see when they've finally won something ( after struggling seriously against Wigan and Hull ) they go on and whine about how Chelsea/Mou and other teams haven't won anything this season...

Meh.

So so close.......

Guess city won't be very active in the coming transfer windows then. A fine might seem abit ridiculous as a punishment for a club that has overspent, but ffp will still be there next season with probably more hefty punishments (maybe CL ban etc) if a team is charged again. Not sure how much this 21 man squad limit for cl will effect them tough. Any news about PSG yet?
