That's what I guessed. Hopefully our targets will become clear over the next week when Gourlay and AVB have a meeting about transfers. Shame with Hazard would be great imo, especially if we are going to get De Bruyne and Lukaku (and with Courtois signed already) - Belgian Revolution!

btw maybe im asking too frequently but wtf is going on with Lukaku deal? ve been hearing for ages now that he aint moving till jovanovic is there.
Last I heard Jovanovic will join sometime this week, just agreeing his wage because they aren't willing to pay what he's on now, which should be done Tuesday and then he will probably have medical etc. So maybe Thursday/Friday he will join.
When did you have chance?
haha its mutual sir

MCEACHRAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
And thats why we saved 40+mill!!!!
As i predicted the other day, i can see AVB giving Bozzy a full season to prove himself and he was very good yesterday. PVA always plays well when given a chance and Nando's goal just gave him what he needed. Soon as he scored he was winning balls back and actualy creating chances for himself making Dunne look amatuer.
I did indeed and i still believe it. Lukaku was well up for a move to us so if AVB really wanted him then i believe we could have signed him weeks ago.
Sent to Colombia as Oriol is playing for Spain U20's in the World Cup bud, looks a done deal really.
well there was a rumour back then, i dont know it was the start of the window.. couple of months ago.
Rumor thats it. No one had a chance to sign him as he was highly rated for years..

Romeu, who can also play as a central defender, is one of two Barca youngsters wanted by Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas - the other being Thiago Alcantara.
Villas-Boas also admitted his admiration for Anderlecht's teen sensation Romelu Lukaku, but played down the likelihood of making a move for the Belgium striker.
"Lukaku had a magnificent season in Belgium," he said.
"We are pondering every decision because we don't want to go into the market and make mistakes.
"We have plenty of availability in terms of forwards who can play in different positions - with (Nicolas) Anelka, with (Salomon) Kalou, Didier, Torres and (Daniel) Sturridge.
"This is the reality at the moment of our squad. We need to find the correct balance and this is why pre-season is important.
"On that decision, to bring in another forward, at the moment I don't think we will."

yea but we still need another midfielder
he cant play every game bud still cant anyway.Messi was wanted by Inter doesn't mean Inter had a chance to sign him. Wanting some player doesnt mean you had chance..
And all the quotes were about Lukaku, none about Thiago..

Yer i think we could do with another CM but that Oriol lad plays in the middle. If we do go elsewhere i dont want a proper young CM because that will just push Josh down the pecking order. I would be happy with Parker on a loan deal for a season.
we need a playmaker bud..i mean im still not sure what position josh will develop into, i personally would rather see him play as a typical #10/AM/Playmaker. he has vision he has pace and pass. he is perfect for that position. but we will see.
Why does the highlight videos ALWAYS switch between languages?
the second one is not a language is it? it sounds like two chimpanzees coughing.
i hope romeu plays tonight, i will watch him. better be good.

Our fault for not bidding for him!

Yer i want him as a number 10 and i think Boas does too. Ancelotti wasent 100% sure what his best role was and played him as a playmaking DM but i think he causes more damage the further up the field he is.
I have no idea lol.
I dont think we need him at all, especially not for 90mill all in after we just forked out 50mill for a striker.
