That Mata deal is brilliant business for Chelsea in fairness. Especially with Matic and Salah coming in.

Yeah, £40 mil for a now squad player who was only ever going to decrease in value. Can't complain too much. It's just gonna be a shame seeing our two time player of the year in red!

Also, if you're a Bolton fan, I had perhaps my greatest footballing memory at the Reebok when Lampard got the goal that won us the league back in 04/05!!

I'm not. But didn't you win the league at Bolton again?

Think we got presented with it there, beat Man Utd in 05/06 and a nice 8-0 thrashing of Wigan in 09/10 to win it

Who d'you support?

The run from February 8th is going to destroy them. Nightmare run of games and the worst draws possible in the cups.

Can anyone tell me if Jermain Defoe and Michael Bradley are any good? Toronto FC just signed both of them, and they're hyping them up a lot (particularly Defoe). I'm just wondering how these guys stack up against other players in the more notable European leagues.

I like Bradley a lot. Decent player.
