Well mangala played CL whereas zouma didn't so in fact mangala played in a higher level of competition... But regardless, i just go by the eye test and what i see and i rate mangala higher...Zouma should be good as well and maybe he makes more sense for the future seeing as jt still has at least teo years in him imo and that would have meant mangala sitting on the bench until jt is gone... Just hate to see such a good player being partnered with kompany... At least mangala said he preferred us lol

he's better than zouma, other than the transfer fee, don't know why we didn't go for him...

yes i have, have you seen what type of scorelines bayern rack up? Did you see them win the league with 10 games left? And which teams other than the top 2 are good? Schalke? Bremen? Leverkusen? Swansea would handle those teams and they came close to a relegation battle in the prem

in terms of defending it is... and even overall, there's bayern, dortmund then.... anyhow, i'm not saying this to say he won't be good, i love him as aplayer and would love to have him, just a side point..

apparently his dad said he isn't leaving dortmund this summer, don't know if that was before the france football article or after...

wow francefootball reporting we're in advanced talks with him? that's awesome, i really rate this guy and if we sold lukaku and got him, we could probably make a profit... hopefully we make this happen very reliabe afaik

did you guys see this? probably means nothing but still kinda cool Paul Pogba plays FM on france flight after game, plays with chelsea and pairs himself with lamps in midfield

and to add to your point, with that sort of thinking by chelsea and jose, we would have never had ashley "the best english leftback in history" cole in our team... someone who's embraced chelsea, its fans and its culture and has become a club legend forever, not to mention being the best LB in the world for an entire decade (still top 5 imo)

maybe if you don't respond well to threats then you should stop calling people idiots for no reason and act civilly

What's wrong with you dude? calling someone an idiot for defending a player who has great history at chelsea, loves the club and always gives his all... Seriously? He had a bad season but so have plenty of other players in the past, so what? He obviously deserves to stay and try to improve... Thankfully our board and jose aren't as shortsighted as you

this guy usually is in the know about chelsea transfers and calls them before they happen, will be interesting to see if he follows up this tweet with any more...

good so now you have an answer as to why other people are posting tweets, articles etc

then why are you in this thread?

thanks for the updates XpetrcechX, much appreciated!

lolz what are you on about? it's not the easy way, it's just the truth... our strikers are pathetic at the moment. In truth it's a miracle we even got so close to the title and the CL final! which other manager could have achieved what jose did with ba, torres and old man eto'o? with the worst strikerforce out of any top team in europe we almost had the best season in the team's history.... this nonsensical mourinho bashing is annoying (not to mention off-topic)

Chelsea to offer Cesc Fabregas chance to return to London from Barcelonafrom the telegraph a couple of minutes ago

yeah read that too... i think koke won't move and we'll be in for cesc

the only thing he is worth is what the market is ready to pay for him, if its 40M then its 40, if its 50M then its 50... having said that, absolutely gutted, luiz and mata were my favorite non-spine players and now it seems they're both gone

i don't even get how he can be behind this... they're saying he convinced toure's agent to make up the birthday snub claims to manufacture a move to chelsea? lolz seems very farfetched

apparently according to the guardianman utd aren't in for kroos anymore edit: telegraph also reporting the same now it went from "done deal" to "not interested" in less than 24 hrs lol... maybe ManU got rejected by him and are trying to save face

eurosport saying jose is behind all this.... https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/video/euro-papers-mourinho-behind-toure-103609199.html

Garth crooks should be an embarrassment to all football fans.. His main (and only) "contribution" to football is race baiting

couldn't give a flying fvck to be honest, as long as it makes city weaker

"[Mourinho's comments are] good and it's true. I would prefer him to speak like this rather than say he's the 'best and doesn't need to work'. I know I have to do better, in training and on the pitch. If I can score more I will score more and next season I hope I will be better. I want to be the best, I hope one day I can win the Ballon d'Or, maybe not now but if I work every day and take pleasure from my game then why not?" -Hazard from CFC site all this bs about hazard leaving , everything seems perfectly fine according to this

sorry, wasn't clear... didn't necessarily mean the 3 players i mentioned aren't chelsea quality but rather that for one reason or another, they ended up not working out ( kdb = attitude, moses = not enough quality, marin = not enough consistency)... at least imo
