It's normal I think. Mou wants an experience GK for backup. A GK with PL experience. But then keeper like Begovic is really too gud to be 2nd choice imho. Let's c how Mou tempt Begovic to be 2nd choice.

And also rumors saying we bid 15M for Rahman. Juve oso in for the chase.

During the season that Norwich got relegated, we wanted to buy him. But Norwich play hard to get.

On Chalobah's influence in the U-21 Championship diz year. If Mou is brave enuff to use Chalobah, we dun nid Witsel or Song.

I think it is as simple as, if no one leaves, no one comes.

But judging by our activity, tracking Rahman and Song. Seems like Luis and Mikel's departure is inevitable.

Ramires is like Essien + Mikel. He can run and run lik the young Essien and is tactically aware like Mikel? He'll make a gud utility player. On occasions last season, Mou played Ramires on RW to counter oppositions' LW player. I think Ramires will come in handy. Ramires + Matic is not bad too.

As for Salah, I think Mou has made up his mind, he is not Mou's type of player. And with his performance with Fiorentina, we can sell him for some $$. Salah for Griezmann. Now that sounds hhnngghh.

GK stil duno who will come.

GK - unknown
DF - possibly Rahman in, Luis out.
Pivot - probably Song in, Mikel out.
AM - probably Griezmann in. A bit crowded no? Hazard, Willian, Oscar, Cuad, Fab and now Griezmann?
ST - Falcao in, Drog out.

If Mou places his trust in Romeu and MVG then yea, we dun nid any more players for pivot. But given both of their injury record, Mou might not take the gamble. If I'm not mistaken, Newcastle wants MVG on loan.

Talking bout our spine. So now our spine players are Courtois, JT, Matic/Fab (?), Costa. During the 1st Mou season, our spine is Cech, JT, Lamp, Drog. So now midfield who is spine? Matic or Fab?

Seems like Douglas Costa is heading to Bayern for 35M.

Witsel in talks with AC Milan. So Song it is for us?

Btw ChelseaFansTV said Atletico wants Luis and Salah for Griezmann and Arda. I'm ok with Griezmann, but not with Arda. Still rmb he threw the shoe at linesman. kek. Imagine he do that in PL. U guys noe la, how much FA 'likes' us. Sure ban Arda for 3 games.

Luis + Salah for Griezmann. Atletico gets 2 player with 1 player.

And we get to proceed with Rahman!

We're waiting for the domino effect. Once Cech sold, we'll sign new keeper. Once Luis declares he wants to leave, Baba will come. Then Griezman will be included in Luis deal.

Last season signing early coz World Cup ma. Usually managers tend to sign players before World Cup. coz afraid after World Cup, the player's price will rise. A good performance in WC, scoring few goals in WC, all will contribute to price hike.

We sold Luiz b4 WC right? Lucky. If not, after the humiliation by Germany, his price sure drop like no waterfall. lol

so sad to see this video. The song mcm a farewell type of song sumore. The last part where the video shows Cole, JT, Lamps and Cech taking a photo together. Damn, now we only have Terry left. Those penalties saved in Munich. He'll forever be a legend for us. Can't really wish him well in Arsenal, but he gets my full respect for his contribution to us.

I think Arda will join Barca. As for us, focus on getting Griezmann better.

Not sure, but reports in Spain are saying Barca wants Arda. There are even reports saying Josep Maria Bartomeu, who was the Barcelona president last season, has already tied up a deal for the Turkey star.

But of coz, all diz might juz be fake news.

I thot Ake will be loaned to Middlesbrough? Ake and Kalas if I'm not mistaken. Ake has been long enuff with the under-21. Time for him, Kalas and Chalobah to be loaned to PL club and season them. If by 23, both of them can't make it in PL, i dun think they are good enough to play for us.....

trying not to cry.......

He really deserves full respect from us. Maybe not the Lampard or JT level of respect. But very very close to that level. He has given his all during his 11 years in Chelsea. aaahhh. Them ninjas cutting onions so late at nite.

I respect him, for being a professional and being a family man. But I will not wish him luck in Arsenal, bcoz that would be wishing Arsenal gud luck. I hope Cech realized that it was part of the backline that makes him so gud. With Koncielny, Mertrsacker, Debuchy and Gibbs, things might be different.

I've been reading neighbor's tered. They are juz nitpicking, saying Cech only mentioned Roman in the letter and did not mentioned Mou. Then start la nak umpan kita. Saying Mou is a bad manager, wanted Cech to rot in bench. Say la without Roman, we'll not be where we are.

If the situation happens to them, let's say Alexis Sanchez is tired of winning FA cups only and wish to challenge something else, and he wants to stay in London, so he decided he wants to play for Chelsea. I'll see if they have what it takes to send off Alexis properly.

The real bargaining chip that Stoke have is Begovic is considered as homegrown. U noe la kan, in PL, if u homegrown, price will get hiked by 150%.

I really hope to see a Drogba/Lampard/Cech testimonial match some day, x kisah la, after 5 years or what. It'll be nice to see all of these legends come back to Chelsea for a charity/testimonial match.

Notice how us Chelsea fan show respect or give a good send away for Cech, Lamps and Drogba when he leaves. But when the likes of Cole, RVP and Fab leaves their previous club or move to a rival club, they just kept calling them traitor.

Shows how we are different from them.

those accounts might even juz b troll accounts by their own fans. oh why....

let's say we can only sign 1, Turan or Griezmann, which 1 would u guys choose?

Griezmann - young, proven in La Liga, can be at Chelsea for a good 10 years? Can be developed further by Mou.

Turan - seasoned at 28 years old, proven in Turkish league and La Liga, in his best form currently? Ready made product, dun nid much development. His pace is well suited for trident.

Duno why but i prefer Griezmann.
