Rumoured Joao Miranda

[sodasys 40]

Tiago & Filipe Luis will join Diego Costa at Chelsea & the London club are close to capturing Miranda, also from Atlitico Madrid. (AS)

[iseah100 5,612]

So we'd have 5/11 of their starting lineup from the CL Final. Smh.

[stroey 2,525]

We don't need Miranda, we have Terry-Cahill with Ivanovic as the solid back up, plus 1 youngster (Zouma probably). It would be too much to have 5 Atletico players, although Courtois is ours.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Lol jeez, show some mercy.

[sdrcfc 461]

Courtois, Miranda, Luis, Tiago and Costa.

[bababoom 4,478]

Courtois, Miranda, Luis, Tiago and Costa.

We also wanted Koke.

Chelsea are basically the new and improved Atletico.

#Atletico also fear #CFC will make a move for Brazilian centre-half Joao Miranda, who shares the same agent as Mourinho. (Evening Standard)

[Special Juan 27,093]

Atletico are the Spanish version of Southampton.

Might as well take each players underwear too.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

I personally prefer Godin more.

[Y123CFC 69]

Hope this isn't true - he's 29, and will be 30 in September.

If we are looking to bring in another CB, which I think we are judging by all the different rumours, I'd prefer it to be Varane.

Does anyone else agree that the reason Atletico were so good last season was due to their system and teamwork, not necessarily top class individuals? A bit similar to Netherlands in this World Cup - only 2/3 world class players, but the system, tactics and manager makes all of the players look good

So I don't think we should be targeting so many Atletico players

As Mr Miagui said - Daniel Son - No mercy

Definitely. It will be much easier for them to replace the departing players than it would be to replace Simeone.

[Jase 43,479]

We should just bid for the entire Atletico Madrid team. Really. Even bid for Simeone to be Mourinho's assistant...

Yea, but our system isn't all that different and Mourinho is the best manager in the game. He can get the best out of anybody.

Except Torres.

Partly due to their system.but you gotta have talent to be good in any system and show that you can follow a gameplan. Jose has always been big on players who put his gameplan and the overall good of the team ahead of personal gain.

I don't think we are targetting as many as reported tho..reporters are just seeing some contact between the clubs and just matching up where they think we need help and whoever on their team plays that position is getting linked to us..

[didierforever 7,349]

why? BS rumor!!!

[Toli 977]

shit transfer if true. Are Atletico players the only ones Mou knows? Miranda is completely overrated. Good defender yes, but Godin is much, much better and more important for Atletico. Also Miranda isnt young anymore and nothing what we need. Would be one of this typical Mou transfers where you ask yourself, what he wants to achieve with this one like Altintop to Madrid or Quaresma to Inter etc

[ulsterchelsea 3,213]

Has anyone commented on how many atletico players we are signing yet?
