@ChelsTransfer: Chelsea are sending new signing Mario Pasalic out on loan to Elche for the 2014/15 season.

Pasalic: "As I went to say goodbye to my manager Mourinho, he told me that I'm on the best way to one day return to Chelsea. Mourinho also told me that I must do my best on loan in Spain because he will keep track of all my games. Director of sport Michael Emenalo also told me that he and Mourinho will come to see me in Spain. I like this option from Elche... I always dreamed that I would play in La Liga once" (Mail)

Some good words there from the young Croatian. Mourinho and Emenalo's assurances of the club keeping track of him will be great incentive and motivation to do well..

Who remembers when Emenalo was Satan's lovechild put on earth to cause chaos and destruction to Chelsea Football Club?

He's starting against Barca

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Unfortunately, he'll spend all game chasing shadows but fantastic experience.

[Chelsea? 892]

what position does he play?

central midfield

decent game from him.

On a different note. Barca has become a little bit disappointing. Players like bravo, Rafinha, haddadi and matthieu. Ok players, but Barca used to have a WC one on every position.
