Chelsea Football Club has today agreed terms with Atletico Madrid for the transfer of Diego Costa

I'm glad the Diego Costa transfer has got sorted out. I had thought it would drag on until December or January, since Athletico Madrid can't actually register him as a player until 1 Jan. I'm just wondering how we managed to get them to pay as much as 65m Euro (£57.2m).

So it's Barcelona in the Champions League last 16 - there had been a 44% chance that would be the draw.

The tie is more than 2 months away, but it will mean Fabregas and Pedro could play against their former club.

Welcome to Chelsea, Ross Barkley! He has been given the No 8 shirt.

In August it was sad that his value was £35 million but it's now been quoted that his transfer fee was about £15 million.
Which means that his value went down by £20 million. So he could be a bargin buy.

While on youtube, CFC Fan TV was recommended to me to watch, i was curious about this, i am not a Chelsea fan or watch anything to do with Chelsea, anyway i decided to watch their recommendation, and was glad i did, i got to see for the first time the gorgeous CFC Fan TV presenter Sophie Rose

Admin needs to try and get her on the babe shows imo

The Edin Dzeko move is off, due to him wanting too much in personal terms and the length of contract.

But the move for another of Roma's players is about to happen. Defender Emerson Palmieri is on a plane and flying to London for a medical.

Welcome to Chelsea, Emerson Palmieri! He has been given the No 33 shirt.

Olivier Giroud signing officially announced. Cost £15.3m plus £2.2m in addons.

Announced at the same time, Michy Batshuayi has signed for Borussia Dortmund on loan until the end of the season.
