Re: Chelsea 2014/15 Preseason Thread

Ideally, He'd be loaned out for a year or two, prehaps taking Torres' spot when his contract expires (is that in 15 or 16?)

By then he'd probably be ready. Costa will be in his prime, Lukaku (if around,) will be performing better than now and Bamford could slot in nicely.

I say cut out the middleman and give him Torres' spot AND number pronto

Spoiler:

[Kick]

Honestly, if we could get a second CF after Costa, then I'd be ok with Bamford being third choice.

BUT, if Lukaku is staying, I'd rather keep an experienced player, as bad as Torres is, he has experience and could prove to be useful, on occasions.

Corner-defending and giving the lads in row zed a few thrills, yea.

I was actually meaning if we wanted to win the Europa league again

Torres Europa slayer

I would like to see Bamford in pre-season though. Perhaps he could impress enough to stay?

[Shed]

[Kick]

Same with Zouma.

[Shed]

He's on his way to Monaco

[Kick]

I hope not.

[Shed]

On loan, I mean.


Suspect the club will use it as a bargaining chip to land us Hamez

[Kick]

I still hope not.

I want Zouma to stay here AND I don't want Hames.

Jose Mourinho watches over Branislav Ivanovic, Mohamed Salah and Patrick Bamford as Chelsea miss World Cup stars:
It's back to work and no messing about for Chelsea this week with Jose Mourinho taking a hands-on approach to preseason as the club await the return of their World Cup stars
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2693042/Jose-Mourinho-watches-Branislav-Ivanovic-Mohamed-Salah-Patrick-Bamford-Chelsea-miss-World-Cup-stars.html














World Cup giving quite a few youngsters a chance to train with the first team, it seems. Romeu, Todd Kane, Bamford, Christensen, Kiwomya, Solanke all among those involved.

[Shed]

Piazon and Chalobah too.

[Kick]
