Jose Mourinho was a touch reticent about talking Everton, manager Roberto Martinez and the man Chelsea tried several times unsuccessfully to buy - John Stones...

"What Martinez says means nothing and I don’t comment. John Stones the only thing I can tell you, I expect him to play with [Phil] Jagielka, we know their qualities and we are going to try and be successful against him. I have nothing else to say."

It seem a few of you are a tad skeptical about whether David De Gea will see out his new four-year contract at Manchester United.

Liam Stones: Does anyone else feel this de Gea new contract is like suarez at #lfc ? Just to put a buy out clause in   

Jamie Watts:  Three words written as large as possible on that contract...... BUY OUT CLAUSE   

Daniel Shack:  Got to be a release clause in De Gea's contract.

More from Jose Mourinho on the injury to Thibaut Courtois...

"The third goalkeeper is always a complicated situation because it can be that you don’t sit on the bench once all season. In my first spell here, Hilario was third choice and he played against Barcelona in the Champions League.

"Our decision was the third goalkeeper would be a young English goalkeeper behind two fantastic goalkeepers and we think that’s a normal situation. 

"Now [21-year-old Croydon-born] Jamal [Blackman] becomes the second. He was on loan at Middlesbrough and didn’t play once in the Championship. He has no experience but he has potential. 

"I just lost a goalkeeper, I want to be positive."

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been talking about Thibaut Courtois' injury...

"Courtois was injured in a training session with goalkeepers," he said at his pre-match news conference. "I cannot tell you much but I can tell you he needs surgery in his right knee and will be out for quite a long time. The doctors have to be more specific but I think today we will be ready to give out more information.

"It is a big blow, it is not easy to have the best goalkeeper in the world injured but it’s easy to have one of the best in the world to play and we have [new signing Asmir] Begovic to play. I’m very sad for Thibaut and the team but we have a top keeper - Begovic will be in goal."  

Gah! Matt Fitzpatrick leaves his birdie putt short on 18 but taps in to post a second round of just 60 blows.

That mark is still the lowest on the European Tour this season, albeit on a par-70 track and with preferred lies in operation.

The young Englishman is nine under for the tournament, three shots off leader Soren Kjeldsen.

So, just to recap. Twelve days after almost joining Real Madrid, Manchester United keeper David De Gea has agreed a new four-year contract to remain at Old Trafford.

The 24-year-old Spain internationaltold the club website:, external "Manchester United is a special club and Old Trafford is an ideal place for me to continue to develop my career. I’m looking forward to putting a difficult summer behind me and concentrating on working hard to improve and help my teammates to be successful.”  

If this hashtag does not start trending, I'm giving up on the internet.

Not to take the shine off the young Englishman's round, but the Kennemer course is a par 70...

After a two-week break it's Jose Mourinho time again. Plenty of issues: Chelsea's poor form, will Thibaut Courtous be fit ? Then there's Everton, Stones and Roberto Martinez...

Greg Rutherford and Mo Farah are in town (or should that be Toon?) to promote the Great North Run, which is in Newcastle on Sunday.

Farah may have won the 5,000 and 10,000m double at the world championships - but long jump gold medallist Rutherford keeps defying the doubters, by winning a penalty shoot-out 4-3.
