I think we will, Jose's second season is always incredible.

+ We've got a far superior team already.

José Mourinho facing having to promote Blues youngsters to meet homegrown quotas in both the Premier and Champions Leagues:
Mourinho, struggling to meet the Premier League and UEFA home-grown player requirements after the departures of Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole, and various youngsters on loans across Europe, is set to supplement Blues' squad with academy products to make up the numbers

I've been harping on about that for months!

Interesting though, Baker is getting promoted according to Chelsea tv. hmm

So, JT, Gaz, Lukaku and Cesc are our 4 homegrown.
Ake, Zouma and Baker are all U-21 so thats 7.
1 more is needed for a 25 man squad, I'd assume it'd be Blackman.

Meant to mention on here how it's odd crappy Beeney is involved in preseason yet Blackman is nowhere to be found.

Midfielder Lewis Baker is at the head of the queue, with Chelsea already announcing on their in-house TV channel that he is being promoted.

That is what the mirror said.

That is strange, only just noticed that hmm

Perhaps a loan is on the cards for Blackman?

I know, I saw it. Thought it odd. Though not necessarily saying they're wrong.

Even if it were, surely he'd still be involved?

You think Blackman would, he's been there since 2012!

Strange. hmm

by Shed Wed Jul 23, 2014 3:08 am

A quick twitter search yielded no clues Mad

He just signed a new deal keeping him with us till 2019, so it's unlikely he's going anywhere or anything.

Weird.

by Kick Wed Jul 23, 2014 3:08 am

Probably a loan then. I'd imagine.

Especially if it happens within a week or so, otherwise he should be on the trip.

by Shed Wed Jul 23, 2014 3:11 am

He's in London as he posted on twitter 2 days ago that he was going to Thorpe Park with family and friends.

Oh well. Guess some mysteries aren't meant to be solved Mad

by Kick Wed Jul 23, 2014 3:14 am

Perhaps he is injured?

by Shed Wed Jul 23, 2014 3:16 am

That's why I searched twitter. Surely someone would have have known and the news would have gradually spread around to the enquiring masses. Yet not a word about anything.

The wages some players get/got compared to others is mind blowing

Azpzi: 30k/wk
Zouma: 40k/wk
Oscar: 40k/wk
Ramires: 55k/wk
Ivanovic: 65k/wk
Matic: 70k/wk
Bossingwa: 75k/wk
Benayoun, Ba, Zhirkov 80k/wk
Alex: 100k/wk
Lampard: 125k/wk
Eto'o: 135k/wk
Anelka: 150k/wk
Torres: 175k/wk

How scrubs like Bossingwa, Benayoun, Ba, Zhirkov and Alex can make so much more then Azpzi, Oscar and Ivanovic is beyond me

Mourinho on our title prospects:
-

"From my perspective as Chelsea manager, I say: ‘We want to be champions, we’re ready to be champions and we’re not looking at other teams.’"

"I have the squad I want to have and I have the right profile of squad to attack the title."
