What happened to Hilario?

[unclezillion 23]

What happened to Hilario?

I guess the club have given him and Malouda a message: you're finished at Chelsea

[Justin_3d 1,140]

Actually surprise to see Piazon there in the A. List.

Guess selling Meireles and loaning Essien and Yossi opens up space for younger players like Oscar, Romeu and Piazon.

If Hilario's career at the club was truly finished, he wouldn't have been given a 1 year contract extension back in March/April after he was left out of the CL squad for the knockout stages last season.

Naming Piazon there in the A-list is the only way he can play because he's not eligible for the B-list. I believe using him against Nordsjaelland could be an option.

Indeed. Can only see him feature against Nordsjaelland. Won't play against Shakhtar & Juve unless we are really desperate!

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

No Malouda!!

[Strike 6,961]

why not register malouda as well? dont have to use him but in case of a bad injury crisis, he would have been useful

[DONI. 1,291]

Happy to see Piazon in TEAM A,a very talented player agreed with Pr22 we can use him against Nordsjaelland

[didierforever 7,349]

good attacking squad. hope we can get to semis because it defense just seems a bit weak if we have to play a club like barca,real,bayern,united.

I agree.

unless this means we might sell him to a place where the transfer windows are still open (though im sure the majority of them are shut now?). maybe to be sold in January? but dont you have to re register a champions league squad after january? so he cuuld have been included... strannngggeeeee.

[drog.ba 239]

I don't understand why the club see Turnbull as second choice ahead of Hilario

[Sheva. 5,373]

Lyon want him, their window closes today. Will be good to get him off the wage bill.

Because of HG status.

[Hutcho 8,443]

I don't understand why the club see Turnbull as second choice ahead of Hilario

I don't understand why we don't just name Blackman as our number 2... Hilario was once a good 2nd choice keeper and now he is not and turnbull is very ... Get some experience with some occassional game time... Coutois will be the number one after cech, but it will be good if we can develop a good young second choice keeper. And imo he is as good as the other two.

surely thats it then because I find it hard to believe he was left out just because he wasn't needed, as mentioned before, he would be useful to cover any injuries...

I wouldn't be suprised if by the time i got back from work tonight I see Malouda has gone to Lyon.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Regarding Malouda, we probably didn't have space for an extra foreign player in the squad, so he got omitted.
