Jon Obi Mikel's father has been kidnapped

No mention of whether it will affect his playing time.

So Bosingwa started the first two games of the year. With Ivanovic coming on for Alex when he got gametime. So can we say for sure yet whether AVB will stick with Bosingwa for now? Has he played well to date? I have Cashley in, but wouldn't mind saving a truck load of money on the cheaper Bosingwa if it's possible...

Pereira (rumoured Chelsea target) left out of Porto squad for Super Cup on Friday and he is not injured

What position does he play?

(and if we are doing rumours, the 'Benayoun to return to Liverpool' one hasn't gone away yet)

Pereira is a full back and should provide cover for Ashley Cole and eventually replace him in the team IMHO.

CFC is delighted to announce the signing of Mexican Under -20 international Ulises Davila from Chivas.

What are peoples thoughts on Sturridge starting next Sat?

Nice and cheap and I rate him highly (pity i have no sway in team selection )

who?

errm Daniel Sturridge

This may help http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/108985.html?CMP=OTC-RSS

Anyone know what the deal is with David Luiz?

Is he likely to become first choice now he is back from injury?

Does anybody have any idea on what the Malouda situation is following all of the transfer speculation? With the folks that Chelsea have added to the squad what's his playing time likely to be?

I'm presuming that he may not be playing as much.

Will probably be a lot of rotation going on until he finds his "best fit" team. Not sure he knows what that is yet. This includes the Def.

I have a feeling now sturridge is back, he will go torres up front with sturridge one side and for deff, only see Ash and Terry as def starters. Would like to think Bos will keep his place as he deserves it. Other than Chech for goal, don't think you can say for certain (appart from Frank maybe)

How likely is Mikel to start every week now?

20%

18.76%

Badly phrased question.

Every week the chances of him playing are reasonably high but the chances of him playing every week are nearer zero.

So on average about 18-20%

Sad news that Chelseas all time leading scorer Bobby Tambling in seriously ill in hospital.

Some nice messages of support on Twitter #onebobbytambling
