@cescf4bregas has warned Chelsea to beware his old friend @andresiniesta8’s timeless “intelligence” ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Barcelona. Fabregas insisted he cannot call Iniesta his idol as just three years separate the two Spain midfielders, who progressed together through Barcelona’s academy. Instead Fabregas admitted admiring Barca greats Pep Guardiola and Luis Figo from afar as a youngster dreaming of making his way up the Nou Camp ladder. . . . . . #cescfabregas #cfc4life #fabregas4 #cescfabregas4 #chelseafc #cfcfamily #cfcfans #cfcfans4ever #cescf4bregas #premierleague #pl (at Stamford Bridge)

@hazardeden_10 feels it was always going to prove difficult for Chelsea to mount a successful Premier League title defence on their return to Europe. . . . . . . #edenhazard #cfc4life #chelseafc #cfcfamily #cfcfans #cfcfans4ever #premierleague #pl #antonioconte (at Stamford Bridge)

Antonio Conte told Jose Mourinho the feeling is mutual after the Manchester United manager said he regarded their bitter feud with “contempt”. The two Premier League bosses have traded barbs since the new year after Mourinho’s comment he did not feel the need to behave like “a clown” during games touched a nerve with Conte. That sparked an extraordinary war of words between the pair, where Conte accused Mourinho of having “demenza senile”, which directly translates as senile dementia, prompting the United boss to hit back by appearing to allude to a four-month suspension Conte served in relation to match-fixing. Conte was later cleared of wrongdoing. . . . . . #AntonioConte #cfc4life #chelseafc #cfcfamily #cfcfans #cfcfans4ever #premierleague #pl (at Stamford Bridge)

Real Madrid are reportedly looking at Cheslea duo @hazardeden_10 and @thibautcourtois as transfer targets this summer. According to Sky Sports, the pair have regularly been linked with Real but are now top of the Spanish champions’ shopping lists. . . . . . #thibautcourtois ##edenhazard #cfc4life #chelseafc #cfcfamily #cfcfans #cfcfans4ever #premierleague #pl #cfrealmadrid #rmfc #realmadridfamily #realmadridfarsi #realmadridindia #realmadridcf #antonioconte (at Stamford Bridge)

Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte does not want unhappy players bringing down the morale of the squad. And the Italian would consider allowing any players worried that their lack of first-team action is jeopardising their World Cup hopes to leave. Brazil defender David Luiz and Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi are the players most likely to be concerned over their chances of competing at Russia 2018 due to being out of favour at Chelsea. . . . . . #AntonioConte #cfc4life #chelseafc #cfcfamily #cfcfans #cfcfans4ever #premierleague #pl (at Stamford Bridge)

Meanwhile, Chelsea could bag Juventus defender and Manchester United target Alex Sandro in January, the tabloids report. The paper says United have had the Brazilian star on their shopping list but the defender has made it clear he wants to move to Stamford Bridge. . . . . . #alexsandro #cfc4life #chelseafc #cfcfamily #cfcfans #cfcfans4ever #premierleague #pl (at Stamford Bridge)

Chelsea face a battle to keep hold of star forward Eden Hazard, The Times reports. The Belgian is said to be holding off from signing a new £300,000-a-week deal, a club record, in the hope of piquing the interest of Real Madrid. The 26-year-old does not want to harm his chances of a move to Madrid by agreeing a contract of more than two years at Stamford Bridge, it is reported. Contract talks are expected to resume at the end of the season. . . . . . #edenhazard #cfc4life #chelseafc #cfcfamily #cfcfans #cfcfans4ever #premierleague #pl #cfrealmadrid #rmfc #realmadridfamily #realmadridfarsi #realmadridindia #realmadridcf (at Stamford Bridge)

Chelsea may have the chance to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January, according to the Daily Mirror. The Blues and a number of other clubs are said to have been put on notice that the Gabon international will be up for grabs during the winter transfer season. The 28-year-old’s relationship with the Bundesliga side is said to have broken down, although he has scored 17 times in 19 games so far this season. . . . . . #aubameyang #cfc4life #chelseafc #cfcfamily #cfcfans #cfcfans4ever #premierleague #pl #bvb09 #borussiadortmund #dortmund #pierreemerickaubameyang (at Stamford Bridge)
