Chelsea and AC Milan reached a one year loan deal for MvG with no option to buy Van Ginkel permanently next summer. Now it's up to Marco van Ginkel to decide.

AC Milan has also confirmed they approached Chelsea to sign Fernando Torres.

Fernando Torres' huge wage demands are holding the deal back. [Milan Channel]

Diego Costa's rival Federico Fazio from Sevilla set to join Tottenham and expected to reignited their rivalry.

Fazio punched Costa in the stomach during their match last season

got news flying around saying Torres deal might not go through. AC Milan might look to Roberto Soldado instead

Who knows a little Fabregas-Torres link could prove to be deadly?

but Costa's injury isnt official yet right? hope its really just a scare

hopefully ntg lah.. maybe costa just wanna get to know Eva Carneiro a little better

ahhh crap.
FPL also kena liaw.

just need torres make his move : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/...s_campaign=1490

chill y'all

Chelsea have told Sky Sports News that striker Diego Costa has a "minor muscular injury" amid reports he faces six weeks out.

Both the Daily Telegraph and The Sun reported on Thursday that the Spain international had sustained a hamstring injury during the previous day's training and could be out of action until October.

However, the Blues have played down those claims, telling Sky that the injury is minor and will be monitored over the coming days.

Falcao loan?

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/tra...o-could-2892563

or signing Destro?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/...Milan-move.html

lol i think Destro still more viable choice. need striker to score goal more important, esp now with Costa injured

i think so too. Destro! although Roma say 100% not for sale though..and apparently Arsenal trying to hijack him.

Jose press conference just now

Chelsea FC @chelseafc · 1h
Jose on Diego Costa: 'We are trying everything for him to play tomorrow. He didn't train for the last two days. Today is the last day.'
'If the reaction is positive he could be on the bench, if not, we don't select him. At the moment, I don't know.'
He is a big doubt, let's see.' Everyone else is fit

Mourinho on Torres: 'If he wants to leave, I believe it is because he wants to try a new life. Probably a new league.'

Mourinho on transfers: 'We are doing nothing. Our belief is the market is closed for us. We like our squad.'
We need to make a decision in relation to a foreign player. It's such a difficult decision.'

Mourinho on Romelu Lukaku: 'I think he is happy, and that's the most important thing.'

Jose on Everton: 'I think they are a very good team. They didn't sell. They have players so many teams were interested in.'

Bamford has agreed to on loan to Boro

guess who's back in training?

50M down the drain tho.
2 years is what's he got left on his Chelsea contract. AC Milan can sign him for free if they want to after

-edited-
no severance package tho.. so that's good.

i think most probably Destro. Dont think Falcao wants to be loaned just sit at the bench and play 2nd fiddle to Costa. Or Costa playing 2nd to Falcao again.

I think everybody sincerely wants Torres to perform well, but he just seems to have lost his magical touch. With that injury and huge fee, he somehow lost his confidence along the way, but still works hard trying. Thankfully he still made some miracles for us to get some European silverware

Still hoping he will regain some of that magic in AC Milan. Sad to see him go this way though.

now need to face Everton tonight. Got Costa leading attack, feel more secure.

i think with the transfer window closing, they need to seal a striker fast. Remy proven in EPL for a fixed 8m price. still has pace and provides a different approach than Drogba/Costa style of play. why not? most probably replaced fast though. maybe Destro in the future since Roma not keen to sell him off.

about the heart problem, it could be an excuse for Liverpool to pull out of the deal. maybe they wanted a bigger star signing. Remy did pass his medical for his loan to Newcastle.
