There's no loan like a Bolton loan...

"I've still got two years left on my Chelsea contract. My objective is to extend by one year until the 2014 World Cup." NOOOOOOOOOO........ Bad to worse.

Lots of reported sightings of Danny at Melwood by some lying Scousers! SkyBet have lowered the odds of him moving from 9/1 to evens, but that means nothing. We won't let him go.

"Ribery to Chelsea" is trending on Twitter.

Kalou.

The Luiz saga was building for a while and grew hugely the week or so before. Admittedly, it looked like we were going to miss out on him (like with Torres), but we haven't heard a single Neymar rumour for months, have we?

Are the rumours true that Kalou is putting pen to paper in a new 15-year deal worth £200k a week?

This.

Stoke have failed in an attempt to sign new Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku on loan, Press Association Sport understands. The move fell foul of Premier League rules, which forbids a player being lent to another top-flight side during the same transfer window that he joined his parent club.

Hope that it can't happen, although his physicality would be a coup for Stoke. The BBC have added this: "BBC sports news correspondent Dan Roan confirms that Stoke have approached Chelsea with a view to signing Romelu Lukaku on loan. He also says: "Stoke are also on the verge of signing Wilson Palacios from Tottenham with the midfielder set to have a medical, but the Potters are losing hope of signing Peter Crouch.""

Unsurprisingly, BBC say £8m + Yossi bid is rejected.

BBC: "Sky Sports News are reporting that Stoke are in talks with Chelsea about a potential loan move for their newly-signed Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku." Thoughts?

I know it's an obvious and tired comparison, but his interview on MOTD was very Jose-esque. Great digs at Lambert!

The first Chelsea player to score on his league debut as a sub since George Weah in January 2000. His tweet: "Dream debut!First game,victory and first goal! I can't ask for more.Very happy and enjoying the moment and thinking about the N. Team now!"

Not a bad start.

Ruddy brilliant as always!

Not great but an average PL side who our youngsters can beat. Danny, Lukaku, Josh etc. Ties played week commencing 19 September.

I admire your optimism.

Not necessarily. There's no reason why he can't be sold.

Emile Heskey.

Bolton reject a bid from Arsenal - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14676338.stm Let's hope they don't get him.

Nice one Yossi. Wonder what TX thinks...

So many returns - Ballack, De Bruyne (maybe), Mata... We could have even had Courtois if he wasn't loaned out, and Lukaku will play in Belgium again.

Had to be Genk, didn't it?! Should be pretty easy though.
