"Things happen in football and sometimes it is not meant to be.  Chelsea are a big club and sometimes it is difficult for young players to come through.  But they gave me the opportunity to come to England."

"Chelsea are a big club and taught me how to be professional. When I came to England I was 18 and knew nothing about being professional.  I was very ambitious but Chelsea taught me about a work ethics and winning mentality."

"I don't have negative feelings about that football club.  But I want to have a good career. Because in football sometimes a career is only 10 years and I didn't want to spend 10 years on the bench."

"For me it was a very quick decision. I knew I wanted to come back here [to Everton] very quickly. I'm 21 and I needed to be in a good team and where it felt right. Here I have the confidence of the whole technical staff and the trust of the supporters. I feel I belong here. I have a very good relationship with everyone at this club. This is where I want to grow."

Ram + Mikel + Mutu's debt = for Pogba.

best case scenario formula

yea. And let's not forget Pogba is considered as home grown thanks to Utd. Still got room to sign 1 more international player. 

Nope the current main have squad 19 international
so ram and mikel gone u still need sell one more player to open one more spot.

yea, juz checked.

At the moment, Chelsea have 17 players that would seem like safe bets for the 17 international squad spots. Those players include: Petr Cech, Branislav Ivanovic, Filipe Luis, Ramires, Fernando Torres, Eden Hazard, Oscar, John Obi Mikel, Andre Schurrle, Mohamed Salah, Marco van Ginkel, Diego Costa, Nemanja Matic, Willian, Mark Schwarzer, Cesar Azpilicueta, and Didier Drogba

If add Romeu and Courtois, then 19 dy.

Hope by September FA sudd consider Courtois as homegrown. Then we'll have 18 internationals, sell 1 enuff dy.

Or Mou can drop Schwarzer and call Blackman into the squad. That would reduce 1 international spot and increase 1 u-21 player.

I dun think Courtois will be considered as hg.
I have find it weird for ucl considered zouma and lukaku as non-hg while fa consider them as u21.

yea. 1st of all, pivot too crowded dy, 2nd, the home grown rule. 

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has told Sky Sports News that Fernando Torres, who has been linked with a return to Atletico Madrid, will not be sold this summer.

Real Vallecano have taken Chelsea winger Gael Kakuta on a season-long loan

Matej Delac renews Chelsea contract for two more years

yea. Pogba is good, but we nid to sell either Ram or Mikel 1st.

Btw, rumors say we're in for Miranda again. What's more absurd is that they say Simeone wants to swap Schurrle with Miranda. lel
