So chelsea apparently have a deal for 13 year old French keeper Nicholas Tie to the bridge when he is 16. He is currently 13 and labelled one of the best of his generation.
He is apparently training with hilario once a month
Futures bright

Glad zouma got a full game and played well!

Alright guys, I saw Ed mention on the Liverpool page that Inter were negotiating with Chelsea regarding Icardi. Probably still in the early stages and little chance that he joins.
However, can anybody fill me in on this guy? Style of play etc, strengths and weaknesses. I'd appreciate it very much.
Can't say I do, Editor 1 if you've got any time?
{Ed001's Note - The Inter striker? I am not big on Italian football, so only watched him a few times, he is still only a youngster, but looks to be a target man. Not as in a big lump with no movement, I mean someone who can have the ball played up to him and he will lay it off. He has certainly got a good goal record this season as well, every time I see a round up of Serie A he seems to have scored. He looks like an excellent option for Chelsea, if he can settle in England. From what I have seen he looks like a Jose striker, someone to have the ball played into and build an attack from.}
Thanks for that mate! Do you think Remy will be content being 3rd choice another year?
{Ed001's Note - no, I expect him to look to get another signing fee soon.}
Okay thanks :)
Thanks Ed001, much appreciated :)

Eds do chelsea have an interest in Andre Gomes from Valencia/benfica
{Ed002's Note - He has only just moved to Valencia.}

At what point does Zouma start playing regularly? Powerful, quick with a fantastic leap. Brilliant performance Today.
So I've heard. Really hoping that he gets the start next weekend. Just got to have some faith in the guy. With Terry next to him to guide him some more, he can definitely do the job.
04 Jan 2015 21:11:45
This is how we show our youngsters when you play well when someone else isn't you take their place. It will give the likes of Baker and Loftus-Cheek lots of confidence.
As I saw how Zouma playing, I think he still need to improve his positioning, quickness and marking for first team level.
04 Jan 2015 16:56:14
Imagine my surprise finding out there isn't any coverage whatsoever of the Chelsea game.
However, I've read that Schurrle once again isn't playing well and that Zouma has been good. Hopefully Zouma can gain Jose's trust
Lol I couldn't watch it either, on the TV it said 'live Fa cup', so I thought it would be bound to be chels. Was palace vs someone.

Nice to see Patrick Van Aanholt score a great goal for Sunderland on his return from injury! Against Leeds aswell haha
04 Jan 2015 12:08:31
I got a feeling hazard is on his way! Jose last week saying he will sign a new deal! this week he saying we could lose him due to him being kicked all over the place! Something don't add up to me! Ed any info regarding hazard please
{Ed002's Note - Nothing as exciting as you have made up.}
I don't think it's anymore than Jose planting the seed via the media re: protection of his players.

Rotation has to be used today, and not the likes of Salah or Schurrle. Surely Loftus-Cheek, Brown, Boga, Baker all deserve a fair crack of the whip over some of the under performing players on the periphery of the squad.
I wouldn't put all of those guys in at the same time though. Ake should get some game time unless he's got an injury. I hope Loftus-Cheek and one of Baker, Brown and Boga are on the bench. I want see some Loftus action! :)
04 Jan 2015 14:53:59
Yeah defo wouldn't start all of those, and yes Ake starting would be good.
Loftus Cheek and Ake starting and one of the others coming off the bench would be very positive for the team going forward.
Talking of Loftus action, he is one of the youths for whom a loan could send him backwards in both development and chances of becoming a permenant fixture in the first team. Should Mikel leave in the summer Loftus-Cheek could easily fill his void in the squad and develop from within.
The recent return of Chalobah and the fall from grace of McEachran has shown how poorly chosen loans can impact players progression.
You're right about that J. Of course you can't keep every young player around the squad, some have to go out on loan. But I too feel RLC could be one of those players who go straight to the first team, slowly gaining more game time as he goes along. An advantage for him is that he's got a great physique as well as skills.
For today though, neither Ake nor RLC will be starting. Just saw that Mikel and Ramires will be starting the game. Zouma, Luis and Azpi play though, so that's good. Schurrle and Remy also getting a start. I hope they can have some positive impact!

Absolutely love Jon Jones

So with Mourinhos comments about respecting the competition ect, I expect only Costa and hazard to be rested with Drogba and Schurrle to take there respective spots
Yeah something like that. I don't expect too many players getting a rest. Hopefully Luis back at left back as well.
Working on a post right now :P involves tactics and what we should do for the rest of the season.
If it's going to end up on the Other posts page, be sure to let us know it's up. I don't really follow the other pages but I'm interested in your views so wanna read it :)
Will do man
