For those wondering about Mata and DL:

quote:
The situations with David Luiz and Mata are equally precarious for Mourinho. The Brazilian has struggled with a hamstring strain problem since the end of last season and, like Lampard, has played only intermittently in the US.

David Luiz came on for 30 minutes in Indianapolis last Thursday against Internazionale and has not been seen on the pitch since. The way Mourinho defiantly and instantly rejected a £35m bid from Barcelona for the 25-year-old proved just how integral a player he will be this season.

Likewise with Mata who, like David Luiz, missed Chelsea's tour to Asia because of his involvement in Spain's Confederations Cup campaign. They stayed behind at the club's DC base instead of travelling to Miami to take on Real Madrid on Wednesday. "They are important players," said Mourinho. "The team with David Luiz and Mata is a better team. But again this is not a problem, we don't risk players in pre season.

"Mata had a little thing, we didn't take a risk. David had an injury from before the Europa League final and he still has little things with it, so we stop.

"If David misses the start of the season then its only because of his injury. That's why I'm not risking him. He had a good session in DC with the fitness guys while we were in Miami. So, hopefully, there will be no problems."

Are you people seriously getting your panties in a tizzy over that article? Here's what it said.

Some dude, who may not even be employed by MUFC said that Rooney thinks he'll be heading to Chelsea and has told his teammates too that he thinks he'll leave.

Whoopty-****ing-do.

As I've said all along, it may happen, but that article is worth the paper I wipe my ass with.

I did go to a Tottenham game day before yesterday. It was not what I expected


Really? I only ask because the season has not started yet. Was it a preseason game? Who did they play?


I'm in Europe, left London for Barcelona today. Went to north London for the Saturday match against Espanyol. An exhibition that ended in a 1-1 tie.

I love Tottenham, but everything was so economically depressed. Only food around was a few fried chicken stores and a couple of Arab good places. Damaged building everywhere.

The crowd tried to get into it but really couldn't.i guess because it was an exhibition? White hart lane was ok, really small when you actually get in.

LOL! Funny. Of course it's not the same as a match in the season, it's a pre season friendly!
Stanford Bridge isn't that much bigger than WHL. Been there plenty of times. Have to admit that Tottenham as an area isn't too nice, but there are areas nearby that are fine. Looking forward to Spurs building our new stadium.
Brick Tamland

The main thing is we are used to 85k at Kyle Field. We are used to bigger stadiums for American football. I wish Spurs would go ahead and build a new stadium. Surprised Chelsea hasn't at least renovated.

Only a few days until the season starts. I have been watching videos of The Chelsea these last few days getting ready. I just have a feeling The Chelsea will play pretty well and dominate teams like they should have last year.

Rumors of Eto'o being our fallback option.

Hope this isn't true. Would be a huge blow.

quote:

David Luiz has dropped a transfer bombshell on Jose Mourinho just a week before the season starts, telling the Chelsea manager he wants to quit for Barcelona, according to reports in Spain.

The Brazil centre half is top of new Barca boss Gerardo Martino summer shopping list as he bids to reposition the Catalan giants at the summit of European football.

Luiz, who has been at Chelsea for two-and-a-half years, has overcome initial concerns about his ability following the £25million move to Stamford Bridge from Benfica, becoming one of the Premier League's best defenders.

Good thing is that it's a Spanish source. So I would take it with a grain of salt.

Highly doubt that will happen and I won't believe it until he's wearing the Catalan flag.

Unless Barce pay us 50m pounds I'd play Luiz on the reserves for the remainder of his contract before letting him force his way out like we are some feeder club.

I highly doubt the accuracy of that report, however.

My Mata 3rd kit just came in. Sharpest jersey ever. Fits like a glove. Very pleased.

SBNation also says no dice on David Luiz transfer. Barca won't meet the 50M price tag.
