So here we are...... 168 hours 27 minutes from the Blues kicking off the new campaign away at Burnley.
Costa and Fabregas have looked the worth the pennies paid out for them. Drog is back, and possibly crocked. Frank is wearing a different shade of blue. We robbed a Parisian bank and left Luiz behind, shame Torres ran like a T2 and caught the team bus otherwise it would've been the perfect preseason. We have a world class keeper to back up a world class keeper.
Probably the most confident I've been in August since 2005. Or even in 2002 when a cup run, reaching round two of the UEFA Cup and 5th was the dream.
We have 13 players out on loan with Marin set to make that 14. But you've never heard of 90% of them. You just like to quote the number.
I predict a league title and possibly one cup. At worst runners up in a few things and a cup win.
What say you?

Chelsea to win a Premier League and Champions League double this season.
Outside chance of landing victory in one of the domestic cups, but that will not be a priority for Mourinho.

Feeling really confident for the new season, made some good signings. Just sad to see Frank leave and go to another prem club (even though its just a loan...).

We don't need goal music at The Bridge...
They don't tend to get rowdy when little clubs visit.

I was there for his last goal. As crap as it was.

I think A runners up place in the league will be the best you do I'm afraid. I think you are still a striker light. Costa is a great signing but if he gets injured you only have Torres who has struggled since he went there and deign a who I think won't be anywhere near as good as he was last time (pardon my ignorance if you have more strikers).
Fabregas is a great signing. Your midfield is in my opinion the best in the league but will you score as many goals from midfield as you have in the past now frank has left?

Chelsea keep screwing over the fans by switching the numbers about! Drogba and Luis have both had numbers announced, only for them to be changed.
Surprising to see Zouma and Ake been given #5 and #6 which suggests they may play more of a role than expected. And Courtois being given #13 could give an indication of the goalkeeping plans.

Drogba only had 15 in preseason. It was never announced. Luis had been 3 in every game.
Didi asked Oscar for 11. He was only 15 because he was 15 before Duff left. Although now Salah is 17 instead of 15. Zouma was 5 all preseason. Ake was quoted as 27.

Just leave that here.
I know that Drogba was #15 for pre-season, but as Hazard changed his number before pre-season it does suggest that he was going to have that number especially as Salah changed his shirt number to accomodate it.

It says Luis is number 3. He hasn't worn anything else in the pitch.
I suppose the Drogba and Oscar changes all hinged on Oscar deciding to change or maybe Oscar had to get the courage to ask Frank for the number.

There is a change to the shirt number Filipe Luis will wear for the season ahead from the one announced at the time of his signing last week.

But he never wore the original number. And I highly doubt people flocked out to buy their Luis shirts when we have Hazard, Costa, Schurrle, JT, etc. more popular.

Relatively high profile signing to be fair. Just seems odd that their new signings wouldn't immediately be given the number they were going to be wearing all year.

What was he previously wearing or meant to wear? I always thought it was 3.

Great performance from us last night, credit to Burnley and their fans for a class evening
Fabregas was immense, he is everything we needed in midfield and more. Costa looked settled already as well (so much for the naysayers...)
Would still like us to sign another defender though, a youngster who can play LB and CB would be ideal really.

Schurle's goal was superb, immense touch from Fabregas. Surprised you didn't motor on and get a couple more, but I guess credit to Burnley as well for that.

He has and can play left back - in the pre-season games I watched he played left back a few times.

The squad is packed out. We don't need anyone. Perhaps a young English goalie if Cech goes.

I'm more than happy with the squad, the additional CB would just provide experienced cover for our first choice pairing. I would like to see some young players getting some game time this season. Even if it is only bringing them on when we are 2/3 - nil up.

Good win for us at the weekend, first game of the season for me. First half was poor but second half we played with purpose. Hopefully we can go into the weekends game like that from the start.

Apparently Costa's injury I'd better than thought, may play against Everton

Well Torres has gone - two year loan deal to AC Milan so that's his contract up I think?
Apparently we are now within the foreign player quota so that's good, however if we want another (foreign) striker another foreign player will have to go I believe (fingers crossed it's Mikel!!) - please correct me if I am wrong!

Looks like Marco van Ginkel is off to AC Milan too - on loan.
What a game at the weekend, brilliant game to watch.

Good move that for MvG. Gives him a chance to get some game time and recover his form and confidence after that horrific injury.
