Forget Neymar, This Chelsea Playmaker Was The Star In Brazil’s World Cup Opener

by

Last night we saw the start of the 2014 Brazil World Cup, with the hosts beating Croatia 3-1 to go top of group A. It was far from plain sailing though. Marcelo scored an own goal in the early stages of the game before Neymar equalised for the Samba men. A controversial penalty, converted by Neymar, and a last gasp Oscar goal completed the scoring, and although the former will get the headlines, the latter was my man of the match.

In The Bag: Chelsea Want To Announce £27m Midfielder This Week, But How Would It Affect The Current Crop?

The Mirror are telling us that Chelsea think their signing of former Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas is in the bag, and are hoping to announce the deal this week. Whether that happens or not, I am excited about the prospect of the Spain international bossing the Chelsea midfield. But I can’t help but wonder what it means for the rest of the team.

Mourinho Tells Torres He Has A Future At Chelsea – Why Blues Boss Is Making A Mistake

by

Fernando Torres moved to Liverpool back in 2007 and was followed by a huge amount of hype.

However, last season Costa struck 36 times in 52 games last season and is now highly sought after.

Arsenal Target Staying Put – Why Wenger Should Concentrate On This Young Goalkeeper Instead

by

It’s a sad state when top, international football players are left to rot in the background or warm the bench for long periods of time. Whether it is due to a falling out with the manager or perhaps the way they are conducting themselves off the pitch, we have seen many different cases over the years. One player that fits into that category is Iker Casillas, as he has fallen down the pecking order at Real Madrid over the past two seasons.

3 Reasons Why Chelsea Should Forget About £32m Costa And Concentrate On Lukaku

by

With news coming in that Chelsea have agreed a £32 million deal with Atletico Madrid for the services of Diego Costa, Romelu Lukaku must be left wondering what he has to do to get in the squad. The Belgian international has spent the last two seasons on loan, so here are three reasons why I think Chelsea should forget about the former and concentrate on the latter.
