The Chelsea Thread

I doubt he will want to stay a benchwarmer for Barcelona. We shall see how this develops.

Yep. Could rumble on all summer.

If they want to play hardball, we should just make an offer for Koke, to make them sweat a bit. You will see how fast they will change their minds. Sell to a CL rival or get stuck with a player you don't want? I know what i would do. Look at the Mata case for precedent.

Koke has said in interview he does not want to leave Atletico yet and is loving life at the club, plus they are selling Costa,Luiz and Turan no need to sell either.

Reports in Spain and Graham Hunter saying Barca new manager not willing to sell to CL rival.

Link? I somehow don't believe that Cesc is willing to go to a non-Champions-League side.

No barca not willing to sell to CL rival not the player not willing.

Cesc will not go to a non CL side... That's ridic. And Cesc prefers England. So you either send the player to his desired destination, or you keep him at the club to warm your ******* bench. I mean, we sold Mata to United. Grow up, Barca.

Seems like an opportunity for manu

Mangala and Luis rumours. Mangala is way too expensive ffs.

Mangala and Luis rumours. Mangala is way too expensive ffs.

Mangala would also be somewhat pointless if we're going for a left back, since Ivanovic could easily do a job at centre back and we have Zouma coming in...

 

[Alcaraz]

Marca claiming Fabregas move to Chelsea is done. BBC reporting that Costa already passed his Chelsea medical. If these two signings indeed go through, it will be a huge huge statement from CFC. Fabregas is such am incredibly versatile player that gives us a plethora of options. I can see Mourinho reverting back to a 4-3-3 to accommodate a Fabregas-Oscar-Matic midfield

With Tiago and Zouma coming in, all we need now is a LB to round off things nicely this window

Hnnnng

Jan Hagen ‏@PortuBall 3m
Official: Siqueira has signed with Atl?tico Madrid from Granada after a great year on loan at Benfica. €10m fee.


Which means Chelsea can complete Luis signing.

 

[LFCMarshall]

Felipe Luis, Fabregas, Costa.... Don't see any team beating that already as the best transfer window

Chelsea's title to lose as well in my opinion

 

[Alcaraz]

Hnnnng

Correct me if I am wrong but aren't they pro-Barcelona? If so, I expect them to be reasonably clued in and they definitely won't print a story of a star player leaving Barcelona if they weren't 100% sure

Felipe Luis, Fabregas, Costa.... Don't see any team beating that already as the best transfer window

Great transfer window if all 3 come through. Also worth noting that Courtois and Lukaku will probably be coming back as well

More importantly, Atletico Madrid signed a replacement for Courtois which means arguably the best GK in Europe last season will finally be playing for his parent club

Luis is 28. Weird signing for me, considering the price he'll cost.

Why you say that? 3/4 years left and a top defender

Fantastic signing for me

 

[Vanjagl]

Luis is as his peek, and he'll stay there for another 3 years for sure. He's a very good player and I have no doubt he'll be useful even past his peak.

 

[Nick Chelsea]

We need 3 good years from Luis, and he can give us that. Good signing imo. Shaw is too **** expensive.

 

[CJACKO11]

Thing is Jose NEEDS to win next season otherwise he is at the doll office next summer so he needs players who are at their peak. Shaw has been brilliant for Southampton but its one thing being their first choice left back and another being Chelsea's! I hope/think he may sign Luis and keep Van Aanholt to work as a close number 2.

 

[Tyton]

Mangala seems like pointless transfer. Already have arguably the most depth in CB department, why bring more? Plus Porto will make you pay his weight in gold.
