According to DiMarzio, Balotelli will join LFC for 20 m euros http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/calciomercato/milan-and-liverpool-reach-agreement-in-principle-for-balotelli-raiola-will-meet-reds-today-to-close-the-deal/

According to the Times of tomorrow, we have offered 24 m euros + Torres on loan for Destro :D Bit too much to be honest. He is a good player, but 24 m + Torres seems too much for him. still very raw and unproven...but better than Torres for sure ChelsTransferGossip ‏@ChelsTransfer 7m Chelsea's proposal is they would sign Destro, valued at £20m; and allow Torres to leave on loan to #ASRoma for next season (Times) #CFC ChelsTransferGossip ‏@ChelsTransfer 5m #ASRoma are interested in signing Fernando Torres if they are able to reach an agreement over his wages of £180,000 per week. (Times) #CFC

Officiall annoucnement http://web3.cmvm.pt/sdi2004/emitentes/docs/FR51803.pdf 20 m and United are allegedly paying Nani's full wages.

United have signed Rojo for 20 m euros + Nani on loan

A thing he has to improve is, when getting the ball, to go more forward. most of the times he just stops and passes the ball backwards, reducing the tempo of our attack. off the ball he is unbelievable, but when he has the ball, there are still some thinkgs he can improve on. more 1 vs 1 and more vision instead of always passing the ball backwards. otherwise happy for his start and good game.

cesc is a genius..nothing new. worried about his defensive contribution though, as the middle was quite open at times. oscar is dropping very deep to cover Cesc, which makes him missing in the final third. defensively there is room for improvement, especially our fullbacks are getting exposed a few times. all in all though a good start so far

Why shouldnt Filipe be match-fit? he didnt have a WC under his belt and played a big part of our pre-season. If Oscar and Schürrle are already match-fit, Luis should be too. Dont get why we need a defensive-minded LB against a newly promoted team...but well, hopefully we'll win nonetheless. Go on Chels

Is Luis injured or why isnt he playing? Chelsea FC ‏@chelseafc 1m Subs v Burnley: Cech, Zouma, Filipe Luis, Mikel, Willian, Torres, Drogba. #CFC

Chelsea FC ‏@chelseafc 44s Chelsea team v Burnley: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry ©, Azpilicueta; Fabregas, Matic; Schurrle, Oscar, Hazard; Diego Costa.

Sky Sports News HQ ‏@SkySportsNewsHQ 50m Sky Sources: Thibaut Courtois to start in goal for #CFC ahead of Petr Cech against Burnley tonight. #SSNHQ So its Thibaut to start...hopefully he'll be able to handle the pressure

City are definitely the favourites for the title. dont get why most pundits name us as 1st contenders. Their squad is even better than last season, Fernando is head and shoulders above Garcia/Rodwell etc. Futhermore with Mangala they have added another great CB to their ranks and maybe Aguero+Jovetic will be more or less injury-free for this season. They have the deepest and best squad in the PL and they play the same system as last year, dont have to implement a lot of players while we change our system a little bit, have to integrate Costa+Cesc+Filipue in our team and our striker force isnt worth a mention in comparison to City's. They will be the ones to beat and it has to be seen, whether we'll be able to beat them. And Fernando for 15m euros is an absolute steal for them...

players also are human beings and if they say they want to go, we wont force them to stay...thats what Mourinho also said.

Just hope we'll sign another decent striker. If Costa gets tired/injured, which happened last season with him, we'll be without a reasonable striker. And the false 9 isnt working for us at all, so please get someone in. Should have never resigned Didier in the first place, so that he would take a foreigner spot in our squad...

ChelsTransferGossip ‏@ChelsTransfer 25m Jose Mourinho (1/2): "Lukaku wanted to play for Chelsea but clearly only as the first choice striker..." #CFC #EFC ChelsTransferGossip ‏@ChelsTransfer 26m Jose: "Romelu was always very clear that in his mentality & approach he was not highly motivated to come to a competitive situation at #CFC" so basically what we was talking about..he wanted to be no 1 striker lol....

dont know how anybody can compare Lukaku to Studge. Studge is miles and shoulders above him and twice the player Lukaku is..especially technically. Studge was definetely a big mistake, lukaku isnt if we get a proper striker in

Didnt we pay 18 m or something like that for him?!

Matt Law ‏@Matt_Law_DT 3m Am told Lukaku fee is £24m, plus add ons based on whether Everton qualify for CL or win a trophy. Total deal potentially worth close to £30m

Mail reporting 25 million poounds...he posted a picture of himself in a jet with the title "time to write a new chapter"...so he is gone

He does not hate Bayern..even if he said this one time, it aint worth anything. Götze said he would play at Dortmund for ever 6 months before signing for Bayern. . Reus would consider Bayern, thats for sure. Even though I think he might prefer the EPL/La Liga (Utd/Barca). Dont think we would be his 1st choice. With Van Gaal he would also have a coach who can speak german (of course if he wont get sacked) .

ChelsTransferGossip ‏@ChelsTransfer 8m Chelsea are playing hardball with Everton for Romelu Lukaku by placing a £30 million price tag on the striker (Telegraph) #CFC #EFC ChelsTransferGossip ‏@ChelsTransfer 4m Lukaku wants to return to Everton, where he spent last season on loan, but Chelsea want £30 million (Telegraph) #CFC #EFC ChelsTransferGossip ‏@ChelsTransfer 5m Everton are hoping to sign Lukaku on a permanent deal and are putting together a £23m plus bonuses to try to land him (Telegraph) #CFC #EFC

ChelsTransferGossip ‏@ChelsTransfer 4m Romelu Lukaku will join up with Chelsea in Holland tomorrow after a £30million price-tag was put on his head. #CFC #EFC (Mirror)

the 12 m a year contract is gross and not net. so its something like 6 m net. thats a lot, but I think Hazard is earning more in net. I think there are more or less 3 options for him: Bayern (his best buddy is Götze...), United (one of his favourite clubs..depending on how they perform next season) or he will stay at Dortmund (unlikely). We dont have big chances tbh. And I dont think that Barca will come in for him after signing Suarez and probably getting Cuadrado too this summer

if we sell him and get a technical, young striker in (icardi? or someone else) than I am happy. if we stay with Torres and Drogba, well, then we are f-ed. we should pray to god that Costa wont get injured/tired the whole season, because we have no strikers left. I cant believe that Mou would put faith in those both, so I really hope we'll sign someone if Lukaku leaves if not, Mou seems to get emotions over rational thinking in terms of Drogs

Reus is no CAM. his best position is clearly the LW and we have Hazard there...even though his price of 35-37 m euros next year is an absolute bargain. I think he will either go to Bayern or maybe United/Arsenal or whatever...

well I think chambers is for the future. futhermore the season in England is long and tough. good transfers from them but he is overpriced
