Carlo Ancelotti has said that he expects Fernando Torres to come good within a few matches. For anybody who saw the match against Fulham, it was a glimpse of the best of Fernando Torres that Chelsea paid £50 million for. Yes, he did not score any goals and in fact, he missed a few sitters . However, his performance came against Fulham in a very tight match.

Given Chelsea's form in the last few away games, no Chelsea fan would have been certainly been confident about tonight's trip to the Stadium of light. However, the recent signings of Fernando Torres and David Luiz has once again signalled Chelsea's intent of not only recapturing the title this season, but the subsequent seasons as well.

Here is the exclusive interview that new £50 million signing Fernando Torres has given to Chelsea TV.

Benfica have confirmed that they have received an offer from Chelsea for David Luiz and they are involved in negotiations. It is further proof that Chelsea are getting close to signing the Brazilian defender, who has been of great interest to Carlo Ancelotti for the past year or so. It is rumoured that Chelsea have had a £21 million bid plus the offer of Nemanja Matic rejected.

Chelsea have made an official bid of £35 million for Fernando Torres in a deal that will in no doubt, heat up in the next few days as the deadline for the January transfer window 2011 approaches. The opening of the cheque book by Roman Abramovich seems to have been finally confirmed after Chelsea made this mega bid earlier today.

Chelsea have confirmed that Fernando Torres and David Luiz have signed for the London club. What a transfer deadline day it has been for Chelsea fans. To see two great players arrive for a total fee of £71 million is not something you can witness every day. Fernando Torres moves to Chelsea for a British record fee of £50 million, while David Luiz's transfer to Chelsea is much more moderate at £21 million.

John Terry has recently said that the experience of Chelsea will come to the fore in the latter stages of the title race, if one such matter does exist. The club seems to have overturned the terrible run of form that saw us in a position that would have resulted in no Champions league football for the next season.

Kakuta will be joining Fulham till the end of the season, while Patrick van Aanholt will be joining Sven Goran Eriksson and Leicester City also till the end of the season.

Frank Lampard has been recently stating that Chelsea need more players . Lampard says that it is essential that Chelsea sign new players in order to stop the title challenge from withering. However, Chelsea seem to be doing exactly the opposite after it was rumoured that Jose Bosingwa could leave Chelsea at the end of season.

The rout has begun. Chelsea are finally back to the best as they thrashed Ipswich town by seven goals. So, does this mean that all of troubles that Carlo Ancelotti and his men faced until now are over? No, beating a managerless Ipswich town side that is struggling at the foot of the championship table is certainly not a big deal.

It is a confidence that has come about as a result of the 1-1 draw with Tottenham a fortnight ago. Carlo Ancelotti has been speaking ahead of the match that he needs to see the Didier Drogba of last season.

Chelsea have finally launched the away kit for the new season. The new away kit looks pretty good with dark orange strips.
Thankfully the new away kit does not feature the red stripes that are found on Chelsea's new home kit.
The black and orange shirt will be worn for the first time against Hamburg in Chelsea's final pre-season clash in Germany on Wednesday 4 August.

He would have entered into the final six months of his contract and he would have been eligible to speak with other clubs after that. A number of clubs like AC Milan and Bayern Munich were set to be interested in him, but now Chelsea can enjoy the services of this 19-year-old French teenager for another 5 years at least.

On the face of it Chelsea's final Champions League group game against Marseille means nothing. Both side are already through – Chelsea as group winners – so the game is more of a formality than anything.
However, a run of just one win in six league games has seen them concede their place at the top of the Premier League table and such is their lack of confidence boss Carlo Ancelotti accused his players of being ‘scared' in the second half draw with Everton on Saturday.
