@Wolfie - I don't think many of us Chelsea fans are still hurting after the 5-3 loss to Tottenham...

Mou should splash the cash on Pogba. Our midfield is pretty good at the moment but that doesn't mean that we can't make it better.

Courtois

Azpi - Zouma - Terry/Stones - Rahman

Matic - Pogba

Willian/Cuadrado - Oscar/Fabregas - Hazard

Costa

Pogba will go to Barcelona next year. I have read enough about it and this seems like the only possibility. If you want a good DM, Krychowiak from Sevilla is a great option. Though IMO first and foremost, Chelsea need to play Ramires instead of Cesc as a CM. Cesc is clueless defensively and gave far too much space to everyone yesterday. Also they should put Azpilicueta at RB and Baba Rahman at LB. That alone will solve a lot of problems.

@eden haha.. was just a joke.. Atleast Chelsea have money to buy players. Inter freaking sold Shaq to Stoke for a loss and now Kovacic looks to be going to Real. Not the best time to be an Inter fan. But I'm with them till I die. That's what being a supporter is. It's not only success, you need to take the sour to taste the sweet.

Aww look at you all . Have not seen you this happy since Spurs match . City were class and I am glad we lost now , early in season because this match showed that we must few add signings and work harder .

Our counter attacks are chocking constantly and I think to solve this we need a proper CAM because OscaR is still in his lala landia . Little competition will wake him up . Also we must get Stones because clearly Terry is not getting any younger and Cahill gets sloppier year after year . Cahil backing every time he faced city player pissed me off . It is like come mate step and press don't give them space .

At Last our right wing position , we bought Cuadrado who has a strong hair game going on but other than that he can't even make a few proper passes . What a complete waste we got ... I rather see Mosses there more often because he stretches opposition and plays direct Which makes better alternative when Willians style does not help us against opponents .

Other than KTBFFH it is start of the season , EPL is a sprint marathon so let us see how long they will keep it up because throphies are won in Spring not in fall .

@marcus Zup mate! Did you see Oscar against Swansea? He looked promising!! Guess he's got competition from fabregas depending on the type of game, but maybe it would be good to have some more. Put I have faith in Oscar this season! Think he's grown as a player!

I think we can forget about Stones though. They don't want to let him go and there's no way he's worth as much as they ask for him. But what about Zouma? He can easily take Terry or Cahills place! Honestly think that Mou should have subbed Cahill against City and not Terry. Not good for the morale. Mou claims Terry has a poor form at the moment. Haven't really noticed that though.. Maybe..

Cuadrado hasn't done **** for Chelsea yet so he has to improve or he'll go and after this pre-season I definitively want to see Moses ahead of Cuadrado.

As you say, still start of the season and people should be a little bit more optimistic. they need to understand that City and Swansea played terrifically good.

@ktb

Yeah i did see him against Swansea but we still could not create much . I hope you will be right but I doubt he will turn this season around . It will be same like last season .

Everton is asking 34 mil right ? So lets give them it . Honestly , yes overpriced , but there are not many English talents like him , plus this kid looks like future England captain . Carbon copy of Terry . Zouma and Stones will be future of Chelsea if we complete that deal . Also, Yes , Cahil should sit down and Zouma should start getting starting place more often .

I also thought it should have been Cahil sitting down but jose claims he needed pace at the back to play higher line , well Terry is not fast but he is very smart when it comes to positioning so pace players still struggle against him .

Cuadrado must go if he does not perform this season . This guy has been very disappointing . Amean come on mate , make at least few good passes . Kezman is no longer most worthless signing we ever made...

Chelsea bid £30m for Stones today but according to telegraph they know want £40m.. United among others are interested too. £40m!!! Ridiculous price tag if that's true!

Maybe Abramovich will splash out the cash for another CAM though.. It starts to look as if Cuadrado is heading for the door with a loan move to somewhere (Juventus?). My twitter sources are swarming with info on that.. so that would probably mean there are new signings coming in.

I'm quite happy with the squad though, including Oscar.. and don't know any available players that would make it better.. I mean getting Griezmann would be superb, but they have just extended his contract and he now has a release clause for £80m!! Ridiculous once again!!

Just hope they don't panic and spend the big bucks for players that we don't need and who won't improve the squad..

and on Terry.. I think this is the beginning of the end for him.. Mou publicly criticizing his form and subbing him for the first time.. He's 34 now and we all knew this would happen sooner or later.. Hope it won't be like Jamie Carragher who sat on the Liverpool bench for his last 18 months.. But I think Terry still has lots to give!

@ktb

I understand that clubs want to protect their assets so they can build on it . However, You know what pisses me off about Everton . They got our players left and right for fair prices but now decided to act like dicks when we want one from them . I hope Martinez and his "world class" players will fail big time and finish battling for relegation !

Agree, If we do get Griezman then I don't see need of getting CAM . Griezman is very universal player, he will be devastating with Hazard .

Hey remember our player Lucas Piazon ? Yeah is not he having good time in Frankfurt , we should get him back . He play as central attacking and create competition for Oscar. Fabregas is not competition for Oscar , because Fabregas does not prefer that position and does not play as good in that position .

I don't think Terry is over just yet , he will be crucial player this season . This is Jose way of telling him to raise his form .

@marcus Lukaku will make sure they won't.. He looks really good this year.. Latest is that they rejected a £30m bid for Stones from Chelsea but that Chelsea will continue to pursue him as they see him as a long term replacement for Terry. Won't be surprised if we end up paying the £40m - twice as much as the original offer. ridiculous amount of money. But then again, Chelsea can afford it.. But then again again again I'm fed up with all the transfer rumours only cause we had two bad games. Seems as Chelsea are too sign every single player there is right now.. Isco, Griezman, Stones, Higuain bla bla..

Griezman though.. He would be deadly in Chelsea. He would be the PERFECT signing.. have said it all the time.. but I highly doubt that Athletico will let him go even though they need the money.

Doubt we ever get Piazon back..he doesnät seem to be good enough for the Chelsea XI or even as a backup..

and regarding Terry.. think it depends on if we get any new signings.. if we do, I think it's pretty much over for him even though I hate to say that..

Just saw that transfermarkt has Stones valued at £9.5m but valuation is steeply on it's way up. But still.. £40m! Not a good deal.
