Leif 6,006 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hope we win vs. Milan + PSG.I hate losing during Pre-Season. Doesn't set a good tone for the coming season. xPetrCechx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HNKS 508 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Are we only missing Mata and Luiz for pre season? Looks like I need to subscribe to chelsea tv to watch the matches. Hutcho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I need to subscribe to chelsea tv to watch the matches.Mata, Luiz, Sturridge, Bertrand, Romeu + all the players from the Euros will be coming back late.

DavidEU 2,023 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I'd imagine all the Euro players will miss the Seattle game and perhaps the PSG game. Perhaps Cech might play a part, but would be too early for the rest.England players and Malouda expected back to training on the 15/16th.

Didn't finish the tournament til Sunday and each player is given 21 days holiday minimum. And after theyd all need around a week/10 days training to get fit enough for a friendly.

Justin_3d 1,140 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 So many players absent for the pre season.Anyone has a list of players that we might actually see during this tour? Henrique 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! DavidEU 2,023 Posted July 4, 2012 Popular Post! Share Posted July 4, 2012 So many players absent for the pre season.Anyone has a list of players that we might actually see during this tour?Well, here's a break down. We have the new signings (3): HazardMarinde BruyneReturning from loan (5):BenayounKalasMcEachranKakutavan AanholtMain squad, not involved in Euros (11):IvanovicEssienRamiresLampard (fitness permitting)MikelLukakuFerreiraTurnbull Cahill (fitness permitting)HutchinsonHilarioAnd finally the players who will join late after the euros, with their expected return dates (6):Cech - 11th JulyCole - 15th JulyTorres - 22nd JulyMalouda - 14th JulyMeireles - 18th JulyTerry - 16th JulyThese players would need another week on top of these dates to be fit to play I'd imagine. I'd expect the likes of Todd Kane, Nathaniel Chalobah, Jamal Blackman and Lucas Piazon to go from the reserves too.

HNKS 508 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Great Turnball in goal for most of pre-season.I am getting kind of worried now though, if Torres doesnt find form/gets injured we will be relying on Sturridge/Lukaku as our main striker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic! 301 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Kevin De Bruyne just gave an interview to Belgian press saying he did train already individually with Marin today. All the other players (injury, Euro excluded) will join tomorrow. Says he will be loaned out probably, except if he plays a really good pre-season. Doesn't mind to get loaned out though, he added. jmarlow, Sheva. and Justin_3d 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrique 9,133 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Really looking forward the pre season games with Hazard and new kit. Tired of boring topics, Hulk, Peace/zolayes leaving/returning, Torres scoring and...AVB. daBlackMamba7, Justin_3d, Kez and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 This may just sound ignorant, which I understand, but looking at some of the "Can't wait for pre-season! " tweets from some of our young players, I've had a thought:-We'll likely take Chalobah, Piazon and Blackman from our youth ranks on the pre-season tour.Chalobah because he's rated highly, Piazon because he had a good debut season, and Blackman because we need to take another GK.The likes of Lalkovic, Feruz (although young), T.Kane etc. are simply lazy by the standards set by footballers in the 90's and before.(Actually, you can probably apply the rest of this to almost all young footballers these days.)Of course it's harder than it sounds to talk to the manager of a team even when you're in the youth/reserve ranks, but these guys really need to make more of an effort.Go to the manager's office every day.Constantly ask to go on the tour and be given a chance.Give the manager phone-calls, texts, letters etc.Have someone from within the club put in good words for you.You can't get everywhere on talent alone.I feel our young players are taking it for granted that they're at such a great club, and seem to just expect to get called upon when the time is right.They should be begging for a shot; not just tweeting the occasional subliminal shot at the staff like I've seen many of our youngsters do.It's already easily predictable that there will be tweets etc. sent out when some of our guys aren't selected for pre-season.I guess this was more of a rant than anything else. I'm not even sure if it'll make sense. Cba reading over it. Meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
