Let's hope we lucked out on Marin and he becomes more than a squad player.

Weird seeing Yossi back out there at Cobham. Wonder how long that lasts.

looks like David Luiz wont go to the olympics. Brazil's overage players are Marcelo, Hulk and Thiago Silva.

Marcelo? Instead of Luiz, who can play as left-back? Really Brazil? REALLY?

[DavidEU 2,023]

It was a group devoid of all those players who took part at Euro 2012, while David Luiz was also absent as he is currently with the Brazilian squad preparing for the London Olympics.

Thats on the Chelsea website. Luiz is in.

It's a good thing Luiz is not in the Olympic squad.

So Hulk is in huh....either we will sign him before Olympic games or deadline day fun.
