My bad, thanks for the clarifications.

With 30 millions rather than Fabregas, we could just activate Koke release clause.

At least we know this thread will be "alive" during the World Cup I will predict what will be written here, "missed a sitter again today", "he is sh*t", "he score, but they against easy team", "Del Bosque doesn't have any clue", "another golden boots !"

The problem is Jose might not survive another trophyless season, so it is reasonable he needs all the big ammunitions out there. I don't think he cares a lot who is our LB will be 5-8 years later at the moment !

Exactly, that's why Luis signing would be more understandable at the moment imo. Luis had face Ronaldo, Messi, Di Maria in so many games this season (4 times against Real, 4 times against Barca, if I'm correct). Shaw has that potential but I think he needs time and at the moment I think he is not ready yet.

http://www.sefutbol.com/en/official-these-are-23-who-will-represent-us-brazil It's official. Torres, Villa, Costa included. 2 Chelsea striker represent for reigning champions Spain in World Cup Azpi as expected, happy for him.

I'm still thinking that the key of success for us next season down to how could Oscar perform consistently.

Heard a rumours that he made it to final 23 for Spain? Costa included. Llorente, Villa, Navas, Negredo, Moreno, Deulofeu and Itturaspe didn't make it. I don't know if its true or not.

Ok. Yes, we should have do the same thing with Cole and Shaw, but with Cole released we should know that Jose will find a main and experienced LB like Filipe Luis.

If we're not going to buy him, I hope he stay at Southampton. Didn't MU just renew Evra contract for one more year? why they're after Shaw for?

Would love to see Courtois, Luis, Costa and Tiago play in Chelsea shirt next season. It will feels strange at first, because I saw all of them at starting line up for Atletico at CL final. How often you saw 4 players play for one team in one season, and then 4 of them alltogether move to the same club the season after.

what I mean is at PL level. Championship is hardly considered a top league.

Most likely it will be announced after WC anyway, unless he didn't make it, the announcement could be done faster. Part of me want to see him play in Brazil, but I would be happy too if he doesn't go, so that he could rest and get a proper treatment for his injury.

The most important thing in here, is that it seems Costa himself want to move. So I think it is just a matter of time until the deal announced.

Great news. One Brazil player out, another one in. I like it. It reminds me with Belletti transfer. But Luis here is in his peak form at the moment.

The only problem with Omeruo is that he lack experience in a top league level, weeks in weeks out.

worth a try to play Blackman as a midfielder in preseason match, maybe something will happen

If Azpi will deploy as right back next season, I bet there will be rumours about Ivanovic when January transfer window open : "not happy", "want to go", "need a game time", "too much competition", "Ivanovic want to follow Luiz", "PSG closed in Ivanovic", etc.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chelsea-striker-demba-ba-talks-3623511 £8million not a bad deal.

Yeah, but the player himself could say no. At least Atletico will not just stay and doing nothing. They will try to convince them personally to stay, like they are rumoured trying to do with Costa. Even in costa case, the player has signed the pre-agreement contract.

*Sorry, wrong topic

would be great, but my concern is that I doubt Atletico would be crazy enough to let Costa, Koke, Luis, Tiago go and along the line losing Courtois at the same window.

I am still thinking Azpi is better than Shaw. Yes Shaw is proven in England, but not in Europe against world class winger. I have my doubt if we have to face Real for example, could he do his job against Ronaldo? I want to see Shaw doing in World Cup first before making any decision.

Hopefully he would make it to Brazil, and then maybe could score a couple goals there. After that we can 'hope' some club will make a move for him. If not buying, maybe someone might interested to take him on loan. Wonder about Inter Milan, I remember there is a rumour which said they are interested in Torres back then.

Sounds like a fake story.
