@ChelseaActivity: Mourinho confirms that Wallace will go on loan this season and return next season. Will be assessed again.

Loan to Roma?

Doubt it, Roma have just signed Maicon and I don't think we'd loan him to a club where he isn't a starter at.

Roma is ruled out IMO because they have got Maicon. According to SkySports Inter also wants him on loan. That'd be great. They only have an injured Javier Zanetti and Johnatan(who is he?) for the right wing. Would be a great opportunity.

Knowing Mourinho, it's probably best that we shouldn't take his words too literally when he said Rooney is our only target this transfer window. No need for him to mention who our other targets might be or which areas we are strengthening and potentially alert our rivals etc.

Report: Chelsea FC will play AS Roma in Washington D.C. http://t.co/igPskYTWp6

Came out of nowhere. Just like playing Football Manager - you try to sign/sell a player and you can suggest them or they can suggest you playing a friendly game, part of that business.

Pretty sure has something to do with De Rossi deal.

This.

In normal condition, I don't think we could even considering to have a friendly match with AS Roma on 10th August.

I don't see why that is facepalm worthy in all honesty.The role of a 'specialist' is dying out in football and the demand of a player that can do it all is much much higher now. Oscar has more going for him in a tactical sense than Mata. Look at Bayern this year, every player had to contribute to both attack and defence, they didn't need any players in specialist roles because the team as a whole worked as a cohesive unit and covered the space & applied pressure expertly, reminisce of Sacchi's old Milan team.

There's been a growing trend where clubs are now seeking the midfielders that can do it all, and is probably why they are so expensive right now. Just look at Martinez last year, Fernandinho, Witsel, Paulinho, Illarramendi recently.

It is important to get the balance yes but i feel its exaggerated just how much. It's the same at the back especially at full back, Bosingwa was widely thought to be better than Ivanovic at RB a few years ago just because he was a perceived attacking fullback. Why is Kyle Walker so highly rated when he is one of the worst fullbacks i have ever seen?

For the attacking trio their attacking ability should be looked at first, the same with defenders should be able to defend first and foremost. 2010/2011 nearly all our attacking players did ok in a defensive aspect but were borderline comatose when it came to doing what they were supposedly best at - attacking.
