Cech is only 32. Courtois and Lukaku have to show what they are about in a Chelsea shirt and stop being prima donnas IMO. No doubt they both have talent, but why not just prove it on the pitch and be an automatic first choice. Give Jose the headache of who to pick.

Where you been mjj, sort of missed ya surely it didn't take you that long to read up on zonal marking

Coutois is a no brainer to start

GK position? Reckon mjj is right. Up to Mourinho to sort it.

Nice problem to have. Might rotate them? Seem to remember Fergie doing something similar a few seasons ago.

When the heat is on, hopefully after Christmas and your'e playing 3 big games a week , maybe Mourinho philosophy of 2 players for every position makes sense.

Courtois will be first choice keeper. Aside of Neuer, he's possibly the best keeper in the world at the moment.

Thats why his loan spell was called in

Wouldn't disagree.

Leaves Jose with a man management issue when it comes to faithful servant Cech who many people think is still top drawer.

Talk of Jose making Cech vice-captain.

32 year old quality geezer won't be seduced by bullish!t.

Salah excused from national service.

Chelsea have confirmed that Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah has been spared national service.

The 22-year-old risked a summons after cancelling his enrolment in one of Egypt's education institutes.

It was feared that he would be forced to return home to fulfil the obligation, which lasts between one and three years, but has been given permission to continue his career at Stamford Bridge.

Can't be having the Egyptian Government interfering with our football, can we.

Must say, regardless of any negativity i've read in the last couple of months about Costa on here, i think he's a great fit for Chelsea and is exactly what Mourinho wanted. As said he's a very physical player, bit of a battering ram and will have no problem adjusting to the premier league. What that piece doesn't say is that all bar one of those twenty-seven goals were scored inside the box.

it might also be worth remembering he wasn't fully fit during the world cup.

talking of Chelsea strikers, how on earth do you expect to get 13m for Torres. He's worth about 5m tops.

But then again i must remind myself of the Luiz deal!

Yes. Good points carmine.

Fabregas, Oscar, Willian, Hazard, Schurrle outside the box and moving in cos defender is wetting is knickers about Costa could work.

We will know very quickly in the Prem if it's a winning formula.

Don't think we'll need to wait for a long adjustment period to find out if Costa is the double shot Espresso.

Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas train with Chelsea as Jose ...

Daily Mail ‎- 5 hours ago

New signings Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas looked at home straight away as they took part in a Chelsea training session led by manager ...

Fingers crosta.

OK Jose.

We get your drift.

[P45Mustang]

Azpul > Hazard > Oscar> Hazard > Willian> Costa....Bang.

Luis> Hazard > Schurrle > Fabregas > Schurrle...Bang.

What do we do now boss?

[P45Mustang]

Dunno.

Think I'll have to phone Villas-Boas in Kazakhstan.

[P45Mustang]

Looks like we are not doing long haul to AsiaPacific or America.

Nice work Jose.

Think we'll try these:

Luis > Matic > Willian > Fabregas > Costa > Bang

Azpul > Willian > Azpul > Fabregas > Bang

Luis > Hazard > Luis > Oscar > Fabregas > Hazard > Bang

[P45Mustang]

This could work.

Cahill > Willian > Fabregas > Oscar > Hazard > Costa. Bang

[smokie36]

Bang Bang you're dead.

[P45Mustang]

Bang Bang you're dead.

Have to admit though smokie, there are plenty of options.

Might try this one at Stoke:

Courtois > Drogba > Bugger, Just over.

We can blame the wind for that one.

Business and Football is about People. Never mind the cynics. Little fat git Rui Faria will be back with Mourinho.

No point SuperMario going to the @rse then.

[P45Mustang]

Anyway.

Seems like everybody is worried about us.

We've got the best squad apparently, and are supposed to be favourites for the Prem.

Also we don't have any FFP issues.

Shame we've got a fkcing useless manager and owner or it would be a piece of p*ss, wouldn't it.

( Get you @rse back on the bench Rui Faria. Game on. )

[P45Mustang]

I want Drogba back.

On the pitch, on the bench, in the dressing room.

Chelsea's equivalent of Zidane.

[P45Mustang]

If we have to meet RM it will be more than just Ronaldo, Rodriguez, Bale and the French Algerian Benzema.

90 minutes with 22 players? Nope. Much more complicated.

But we've got a bit of luck on our side. Mourinho has been there.
