its a pity for Benny if its true. there is no doubt Benny is quality and a hardworking player. but his age is abit of a down factor and if Lampsy wasnt a fan favorite, i bet there is a big possibility that he is the one on the trading table based on his performance since last season. i just hope the senior players knows when to quit when their time comes, else the club will be dragged down. i dont mind if they are playing very well regardless of age, but if you're not performing and you're at that age, it would be wiser to hang up the boots.

well, thats kinda true. but i think he'll come good this season, if no injury strike him again. he's very creative and hardworking player. we have that in Zhirkov also, but hes gone now. im gonna put my bet for Josh instead, i have faith to this lad

in pre season alone he has fulfilled Lampsy's job of supplying those through passes.

f*** that daily mail!!! youssi x5 times better than modric at the moment.....wht the hell with cfc...so desperate for modric!

rumors only la. not yet sell. i believe avb will hold on to benayoun aftr his contribution during preseason. no need to panic.

think modric is great value in midfield..just look at how he control every game last season with tottenham..creative enough 2 join the blues..

Funny article. Poor poor AVB.. LOL!

I seriously can't wait for the game!

DAMN THIS VIDEO! its so damn nice mang! raise my spirits! thanks for sharing!

"28th: Carlos Tevez announces his intention to leave Inter in order to be closer to his family in Argentina.

29th: Tevez signs for Chelsea."

LOL!

Van der vaart confident in saying modric will stay, and suddenly there isn't much noise now..hoho. alvaro perreira is a very capable player who can play at LB and left midfield. significant competition for malouda! i'd keep my eye on that rumour. oooo i like the freddy guarin stories...he was fantastic for colombia, and quite frankly i'm surprised it took this long for us to be linked to him. might take some time to bed in and if predictably spurs turn down our next bid for luka, i'd say we focus our energy on getting freddy.

so u guys noticed how AVB squats by the touchline as well...if he's not careful he might sustain a knee injury or something.

Maybe he want purposely get injured, then let Di Matteo chance to manage Chelsea

We should give up on Porto players. All seems at least 30 mil++.

Wow, hope its not too serious.

What the shit? Torres injured? Ughhhhhhhhh. Well, maybe it's time for him to rest and relax down.
He could find back his form and slowly recover by following AVB tactics.
On a more positive note, the injury makes AVB a lot easier to pick his first eleven. I dont think Torres would have started anyway, against Stoke I would think we would fight with physically with Drogba leading the front line.

minor brain concussion, nothing too be worried bout. he's out of the hospital already as reported. on side note, Drogba just scored against Israel which i think made him a step above Torres in 1st eleven selection against Stoke now.

yeah, i think its not much of a big deal. concussion compared to knee/leg/groin injury is miles apart. its okay to start with either strikers for me. whats important is in midfield, that was our problem last season and im not seeing much improvement this season, unless Benayoun plays.

lol. dont forget cech also suffered concussion when he collided with reading's player and after that he got back shaky.

but we have many covers la in the upfront

cech had a skull fracture not just concussion, after that he was pretty much affected... losing the all time premier league clean sheet to EVDS...

lukaku to start against stoke! LOL
