Anyone going to the Everton match. Sing everyone's names. Mata. Hazard. Oscar. Ivan. Cahill. Cole. Cech. Schurlle. Torres. Every squad member. And if he plays. Sing loudest for Lukaku. Clap everything he does. Applaud his ideas even if it doesn't have the execution. If he scores then give him a standing ovation and act as if his goal has won us the league. Chant for him. Scream for him. If he is subbed off, regardless of performance, give him a standing ovation. He deserves some love right now. And we as the fans need to give him it. We have potentially the greatest striker in the world in our ranks and it would be cruel and stupid to shackle his potential by keeping his mind on one poor kick in a Supercup in Prague as a child. Read, look, remember. He loves our club: we need to show him that love back.
Romelu Lukaku, the Belgian wonderkid.

Good post Windsor.

Really nicely put. He's a young lad and last night must have been terrible for him. Totally deserves all our support.

We need some new chants for the new players. we need songs for hazard and oscar and mata and all our new guys

Proud of that. My heart goes out to Romelu Lukaku, he's a Chelsea fan and a terrific young player and he choked. Better and more experienced players will do this in shoot-outs. Schweinsteiger for example. Regardless, it will hurt but at least it doesn't mean to much and he will have knocks and he's got to learn from the good and the bad to end up world class which he can become. It's a trophy and it hurts to lose. Not going to hide it. But we competed and matched Bayern for 120 minutes. We scored two great goals. We looked solid at the back and unlikely to concede for very long periods. The back five were immense alongside Oscar, Schurlle, Hazard and Torres. Ramires got himself a silly red card. Lampard as much as I love him needs to be phased out. We created chances. Several poor misses. Neuer made some fantastic saves. We hit the bar. And we did this with ten men against the best team in Europe lead by the UEFA European player of the year. No one matched them like that last year. And then you can add Mata, Willian, Eto'o, MVG, Essien, Azpilicueta, De Bruyne, Bertrand and Kalas to that squad that was involved today. We have strength in depth in nearly every position. Maybe a CB and CDM but other than that I see no reason why we can't win the league and challenge properly for the CL this season. It hurts but hey at least it's not at our stadium and at least this trophy is little more than a accolade rather than a title eh? ;)
Win, lose or draw, I don't care. It's blue what else matters?

Honest fan love your input, keep it honest and straight

Did you watched Lampard this game? Led the team superbly threw himself in front of everything and set up a few counters. He is still as good as anyone in our team

Jose just said no more signings. Should we take that comment with a pinch of salt ed? {Ed002's Note - I have no idea why you wish to hang of the words of Mr Mourinho, Ron or anyone else.}

I am being honest, but nothing of hate or disrespect Please we shall be moving on not remain static and continue living on old memories.

Am tired of watching Lampard Ramirez all day . for the love of God they are humans and they might get tired for 4 matches in 2weeks.

Not Rami, he's our best in that position that looks natural for him.

Ramires is not a midfielder at all, couldn't hit a pass for nuts and can't tackle, that was a cowards tackle tonight. I felt sorry lamps in there on his own.

God knows what you have been watching Kenny rami breaks up more play and makes more tackles than anyone without hi, in the centre we would have zero cover for the back four. So he messed up one challenge anyone can make an error to say he can't tackle is utter crap.

Ed's I was curious is there any update on Bertrand Traore not heard his name for a while after all the media coverage from asia, Many Thanks {Ed018's Note - they will try and sign him when he turns 18 in September}

Just get the feeling that Jose is saying he wants to keep mata, but by keep leaving him out, he is trying to make him more agreeable to a move if an offer comes in.

Mata was injured, had long season and he isn't fully fit yet. He will stay and play. Mata isn't out favor of JM.

Sid you may well be correct, don't listen to Ness spouting his opinion like it was a fact that is not supported by any evidence. Luiz was injured, that's why he didn't even suit up for a few games. Mata appears to have been fit since he played against Villa and has been training and on the bench. With our squad depth we don't have to put injured or unfit players, who have no chance of playing, as possible subs. Luiz came back from injury after Mata and he played today.

For once ness you're talking some sense mate

Oh, I'm going to be tired watching Lampard and Ramires all season! And what'll Lukaku do to get a game? Is MvG going out on loan?

Hi Ed002, I hope you are well?

I just had a question re: Jackson Martinez. Clearly Martinez must be aware that Chelsea are interested and are willing to pay the current termination clause. Why then would he sign a new deal and therefore scupper his move to Chelsea by agreeing a higher termination clause in his contract? I don't understand the situation. Is it just loyalty to Porto and wanting to make sure they get as much money as possible? Surely this shouldn't concern him. If he wants to move to a top club he shouldn't sign a new contract. Please enlighten me if you have a better understanding of the situation.

Many thanks for your time. {Ed002's Note - He is a Porto player - perhaps he likes it there?}

Because the interest from chelsea is not definitely going to lead to a bid - in fact far from it as we have just signed Eto'o. This means that if he doesn't agree a new contract with a higher release clause and no bid materializes then he would be earning significantly less than he could have been. Due to the fact that he would be offered better terms with his new contract.

Hi ed, is yilmaz still in consideration? Seems to be going relatively cheaply. {Ed002's Note - Search engine.}

30 Aug 2013 10:59:52
Hi Ed. Ron Gourlay has said we could add one or two players before Monday.
Can you give any indication on any players we have in mind or what positions we're looking to cover? {Ed002's Note - Chelsea remain interested in a forward, a centre back and a couple of youngsters.}

30 Aug 2013 08:19:50
Hi ed re gourlays comments
is there a chance of another established striker or do you think it will be youth players like Bruma. {Ed002's Note - I have no idea what RG has said, sorry.}

29 Aug 2013 20:19:37
Ed002 what was the nature of Mata's recent injury? {Ed002's Note - It was to do with his knee.}

Thanks ed. Explains a lot.

28 Aug 2013 23:18:31
Ed there has been no mention of hamsik from anyone in this window! Is any teams interested in him? Think he is quality and better than di Rossi in my opinion
Thanks {Ed002's Note - There has been interest but he will not be moving.}

30 Aug 2013 03:32:51
Hey guys, what do you think of the Eto'o signing? Just wanna hear your opinion on him, I'm young and haven't really seen him okay in his prime. Feel free to chip in eds

He is an upgrade over Ba in my opinion as he suits our style better. If it doesn't work he will be gone in 8 months.
