Gotta admit I kinda panicked seeing this guy bumping the topic. Phew.

Now is your time Wigan. Finish the fucking gunners off!

Vamooooooooooos Jordi!!!!!! here we go

Deulofeu YESSSSSSSSSS! GET IN!

TBH, I kinda have mixed feelings about this one, too. I would want Liverpool to win so that can Chelsea would stay in the title race, but at the same time I think I'll vomit my stomach out if they win the title. So I think I'll just skip the game and stream in the 80th minute. And cheer for whoever is leading. If Liverpool is leading then so be it, more chances for Chelsea to win the league. If City is leading then it's ok, too. I really don't give a crap if they win the thing.

What a massive advantage would be if Gabi, Koke and Juanfran will get booked in Madrid. Jose will have a plan for those three for sure.

Very hard, but not impossible IMO. You know Madrid, another season without a major trophy and they'll start selling and buying again, as they always do. Not to mention Carlo, he will 100% pack his bags if Real won't win one of La Liga or Champions League. Wait until May. If Barcelona will win the league and hopefully Chelsea will lift the Champions League trophy, then we can start talking business. Carlo will go, those deluded fans will be pissed off (again!), some players will go too and probably they will start searching for players who are worth a fortune (Pogba, Vidal etc). Still a long way to go, but I'd take my chances if these things happen. Matic - Modric

Finished reading "I am Zlatan". "Man management" in the English dictionary should be described as "Jose Mourinho". Simple as that. man management - noun - the control and organization of people who work in a business or organization Jose Mourinho Great reading BTW. Not a day goes by without finding out another great player that hates Guardiola. So glad Roman gave up o signing him. Or he refused signing for Chelsea. Either way, great decision.

Courtois, Casillas, Neuer, Yashin, Zoff, Zubi, Kahn, bring 'em all, we don't care whoever they may be 'CAUSE WE ARE THE FAMOUS CFC! But this is fucked up IMO, I mean you don't give a shit if Bangoura plays for Elfsborg, but all of a sudden you care about Courtois. Something is wrong, but I just wish this has something to do with Diego Costa too. I won't mind Courtois playing if Gourlay manages to work on a discount for Costa. After all is pure business and Chelsea has done some pretty good deals in the last year TBH.

Now we can all start dreaming again! Massive 2nd game at the Bridge. Tough team to beat, but not tougher than Bayern and Real Madrid. Champions of Europe, we've done it before!

Why would Chelsea do that? It's not like Chelsea is scoring for fun atm, Jose already has some poor strikers at his disposal, let them face Aranzubia, not a top GK.

Yep, I was expecting SOME money, but not that much tbh Well done Chelsea, last thing I'd want is Courtois to knock us out with some huge saves at the Bridge.

Didn't expect that. Basically it's the same amount Chelsea paid to sign Courtois from Genk.

It's supposed to be a Canal+ advertising with Messi - "Follow the Champions League from home (like Messi does)"

HAHAHAHAHA

UEFA has no rule about on-loan players facing parent clubs. It's up to the player's contract. This is a similar situation to the one in Monte Carlo when Courtois played against Chelsea. Atletico chose to pay that fee and they will surely do the same if Chelsea will face Atletico in the Semi-final or the Final. I mean, they've payed that fee for the SuperCup, wich is just a glorified friendly IMO, they would be nuts not to pay that fee now. It's not like the fee is £3m, maybe it's something like 20% of Courtois' salary or things like that. He will play for sure.

Wow, double whammy for Paris fans - 1st it was their team that went out, now the team they are trying to replicate. Sad days in Paris. Man I just can't forget those deluded French fans saying "Paris is playing like Barcelona now, 70% possesion, no team can touch the ball."

This! Just sign the guy when the transfer window reopens and then Jose will have the entire summer to sort out his role in the team. It would be an absolute steal for £29m.

I don't know about you, but every time I watch this guy playing, or watch highlights of his game, it reminds me of a young Van Persie in his early days at Arsenal (2005/06). Left-footed player, same poacher's instincts and the most common thing about these two is the style of their running. I don't know how to describe it, but the way Bamford runs and holds his hands just makes me think of RvP. Way to go until he hits the jackpot like RVP did, but I wouldn't mind Bamford developing into the same type of player.

Let the kid rest against Sunderland too. If Spurs can put five past that team, I'm sure Chelsea won't have to rely on Hazard to win against that lot.

Why not Atleti? I know they are a wonderful team with a great coach, but if you ask me, they are at the same level with PSG, maybe with a slight advantage for Atleti because of a better league they are competing in. But Chelsea do have something they don't - Mourinho and European experience. Fingers crossed for Atleti tonight. I'd rather have them than Bayern or Madrid.

Watched the extended highlights of last night's game against Madrid. WHAT.A.PLAYER this guy is! Played more of a second striker and he was IMACULATE. That £29m release clause of his is just... wow. I'd trigger that without having second thoughts. ______ Cavani/Costa _____ Hazard ___ Reus ___ Willian

It's probably the story they all know from Antonio Sanz (ex Atletico Madrid press officer) who wrote in his El Confidencial article about "Simeone knowing for sure Mourinho has made Diego Costa the #1 target in the summer."

Hell yeah mate, it's like swapping Courtois and Diego Costa for Cech and Torres. Now that's what I call a brilliant piece of business. And probably you won't have to pay that release clause either because Courtois comes for free and Diego Costa will be, let's say, Torres + Cech + I don't know, £17m?

Man, those guys at forum.psg.fr slating him big time. Calling him a "fraud" and all kinds of things. With all the FFP drama surrounding that club, they will need to start selling some players sooner rather than later. If Jose really wants him. I'm afraid now it's the perfect time to try and sign him. Just throw some nice words about him to the media until the transfer window opens again then go for him.
