Cech

Lampard Luiz
Ramires. Oscar. Hazard

Whatever line up it is we must start Mata, we don't win when he doesn't.

A11

What happens when we don't start mata?
We don't score

Was thinking we had enough quality in Oscar lamps and hazard so we could rest mata....
Matt

Ok then what about line up for arsenal game.. Demba Ba will have to start but what about staring him and Torres, ??

We've lost a few and not scored when he has started. Swansea and Corinthians come to mind.

You can't blame one player it's a team
U will be one of the ones that slates torres get a grip he is a chelsea player stand by your team no matter what as the mighty rangers say we don't do walking away

Theres a difference between standing by your team and knowing where the teams weaknesses are. you can't just cover your eyes and drown out criticism that isnt how a team improves. i love chelsea but i know that torres is a weakness and i can't just pretend he's good because he's chelsea. however i do think with ba we can play without mata, but i wouldnt drop mata and ba

Coach Paco Herrera said (regarding Aspas): "It seems that there is the possibility of a club emerging that are willing to pay the clause.

"In that case, if the player wants to go, Celta will not be able to do anything."

Ed, you have said on several occasions in the past, that release clauses should not be taken too seriously, but what with the Ba situation and Herrera's comments above, it seems that in certain cases they are as suggested ie contractually binding. I appreciate that the player obviously has the final decision, but what is it about release clauses that you don't pay too much attention to?

Regards, MM {Ed002's Note - They can only be legally binding in the nation under whose law the contract is written. However, the clause may relate to the termination of the contract or be specific in other ways - without seeing the terms we will not know.}

He's going to Valencia...apparently!!
