cuz i dont think Di maria will.As I said I'm not saying it'll happen, but there's a rational logic behind the rumours.
Can I know the logic please? As Di Maria played as RW and Madrid have bought Coentrao who is LB and him and Marcelo can play as LB and LW but now not anywhere near as good as Di Maria.
Coentro is to add squad depth. Reports that he may play as RB with Ramos moving to CB.
as RB? Coentrao? lol. who told you that
There were few articles on how Jose may play Coentro. Not saying he will for sure, those were just few reports.
i see.
anyone seen Coentrao playing as RB? cuz im quite sure that he is not able to play on the right, god help me if im wrong.
Paying 30m to play someone out of position or to 'add squad depth' doesn't seem too likely...
Anyways just to veer this topic back to Chelsea... any idea how we are planning to comply with the FFP?
Thankfully we do not have any fringe players on massive wages like City and all the players in our squad are on relatively decent wages in relation to their role in the team. Maybe some have their wages slightly inflated but thats football meh
I did hear rumours that we were looking to sell naming rights to Stamford Bridge and the amount of money we are putting into our academy shows that 3-4 years down the line hopefully these 50m deals will stop
Anyone has more info, I know Roman is a huge supporter of the FFP and wants financial stability at Chelsea so thats a plus

i wouldnt really worry about that. Roman is a businessman after all, and loves the club, so I really trust him on this.

man everytime i see this im getting a huuuuuuge *****.
Why not, he will play as LB along with Marcelo. Last season they lacked like for like replacement for Marcelo. And also against strong team Marcelo and Coentrao can occupy Left side positions..
Di Maria was among top 5 players for Madrid and worked socks off. There is no way Jose will sell him. He is fan fav too..
Anyways if you want to believe these rumors, well you can.
Couldnt agree more with you, Roman is a supporter of these rules (mainly because it will keep the big clubs big forever and we are one now days).
And agree with you on the 2nd part too, the ammount of times i have played with myself watching that goal i have lost count!!!
He can and has played RB, but he's much better at LB.
Jose loves player who works their socks off, Di Maria has superb work rate plus he is a quality player. Will see how the rumors goes..
I agree but its hard to see Di Maria warming the bench which is highly probably if Neymar arrives for his 40m fee.... I would so take Di Maria for <30m and let Neymar have his way
Madrid pre Jose would have done that, but this is Jose's Madrid. Every transfer is his wish. He is not an Idiot, that you all know..

haha yeah but Neymar's agent has been making all sorts of noises that his young starlet is ready to join Madrid and the Santos President also said that Madrid have made enquiries about Neymar, infact they appear to be the only club doing so as our link has gone quiet in the recent weeks.... I doubt AVB is ready to splurge so much on a unproven player like Neymar, I much rather focus on other important areas for spending now that Essien is out for pretty much the whole season
lets focus on Michael's replacement. Any thoughts who that might be? I mean, obviously we have Mikel, who is good enough to replace Michael, but does AVB think so? we have to wait to see.
And any news on other targets?
And any news on other targets?
not really but I really feel we should go for Moutinho.. his release clause is below 30m I think and he is very much a hardworking midfielder who can add that zest to the midfield which Essien added, think AVB will go after Moutinho as a replacement for Essien
