no need to bring him into it.

Barca close to agreeing a deal for Reus apparently.

Same on my twitter to. For someone who's as shite as they say the fact he's joined us is eating them up. Although they will deny this.

We should be grateful to Mike for this outlandish spree.

Who's embarrassed?

8 nowt to France and we drew 0-0 with Honduras

Fuck all wrong with him. Ashley will be mightily relieved.

That wages one is a beauty. How it applies to players coming in but never when players are sold.

Was being sarcastic before, reckon the budget is about 10 and that's practically gone with Colback and the other lad.

We've got 60 mil to spend though remember… the press told us this.

We simply won't go over 10million for a player.

Slightly underwhelmed by that link, he's only moderately better than Willamson & Taylor imo. Hull weren't exactly watertight. Not a chance on earth Ashley would spend 8mil on someone that age either.

He can comfortably integrate them all with the amount of games they'll (potentially) be facing. Fabregas is Lampards replacement surely.

Don't think Mourinho will be giving up on Hazard just yet.

Mata is better than Fabregas imo and he couldn't cut the mustard under Jose. Fabregas simply isn't a Mourinho style of player - a terrible signing if it goes ahead. Fabregas is a lot more responsible when his side doesn't have the ball than Mata. Big difference between the two, not sure how anyone could label it terrible

Aye, sorta what I was getting at.

Months later than we should of like.

Do you not see a pattern when Llambias, Kinnear and Charnley ALL seem to find it hard to secure big money transfers?

Unreal signing for Chelsea imo. He'll be quality there.

God Almighty. Really don't see what's so ridiculous. His attacking is better than his defense, therefore play him in a more attacking position? At least give him a run out there on pre-season. Happens all the time in football! What happens all the time on here is people forget the philosophy that made us an established PL contender in the first place and allow themselves to be easily led by Alan Pardew. Defenders on the wing, shithouses like Alsoran on the wing, 2 CMs who're about as dangerous as bubble bath in the final third. Urgh. Get out. You people. He's only saying try it for a few games in friendlies, not exactly adhering to the entire Pardew mindset.

Possibly, i'm just not confident we'll actually sign him and this doesn't really help.

Reminds me of the Debuchy saga somewhat. Fucking around for ages and now at the risk of someone else getting him after a potentially decent world cup.

I'm still not convinced tbh.

Depends on Ribery's fitness I guess.

Going to the world cup. He's an assist away from 'we tried'
