Sky Sports Breaking News: Manchester City sign Mario Balotelli from Inter Milan on 5-year-deal THE END

No way will he sign for us now, he's already had a medical at City, so even if we did make a bid, it would be too late.

The source is SkySports News, they mentioned it!

Looks like we're going to see more of Jeffrey Bruma this season then. I'm not complaining about that, I just hope he can be as good as David Luiz, and that we're not going to feel like we're saying no to another potential world class defender.

Some good signs!! SSN Saying that Ramires, should he complete a medical will officially sign for Chelsea today. Such a shame he won't be available for the WBA Game, but he'll almost certainly be available for the Wigan game.

goal.com is a complete scam, and it should not be trusted!

either that or go along with Esk and assume the deal will be confirmed at 5pm today

Yeah I remember Roque Junior at Leeds, of course, he was playing for a club on the down at that stage, staring at relegation from the Premier League in the face, so it was difficult for him to adjust into a good string of form. Alves was a bit of a disappointment, but he still managed 10 goals for them.

Assuming you're talking about the Gilberto that played for Tottenham, and not the Arsenal one. He was useless primarily because he was coming to the end of his career at 31 when he joined. Compared to Arsenal's Gilberto, who spent a lot of years at the club, and played regularly for them. Kleberson was useless because he was hardly used by Man United. He couldn't push out Paul Scholes for a regular place, while Robinho, although he had good spells at Man City, he fell out with Mark Hughes and then his form dropped. However, i do agree with you about Jo. Hopefully, if they're treated with respect, Ramires and Neymar won't be in the same boat as all of the above.

According to The Mirror, Manchester City are beating us to his signature. How the hell does that work, they don't even need him! :mellow:

If we can't get a work permit for Rajković then I reckon he'll sign for a Dutch club or even a German club, it's obvious that he can't play in England without a permit.

If Ramires has all the paperwork signed? How can he "not quite" be in the side. Surely he'd be officially our player, and we can at least bring him on as a sub for West Brom. :mellow:

Welcome to talk Chelsea dude! Hope you can stick around

That's because the press hate us, and they will do all they can to make us look like fools! They've always done it. They did it to us with Ashley Cole, Gael Kakuta, and now Neymar. It never grows old, and yes, we are all tired of it!

In other words, this is exactly the same principle as when we tried signing Aguero

exactly what I was thinking

I don't really know much about him to be honest. If teams like Manchester United wanted to sign him up then I suspect he's fairly talented

well if Kaka reckons he's going to be a bit hit at Chelsea then I suspect he probably will be! Whatever Kaka says is normally right

The telegraph report that Santos will report Chelsea to FIFA for tapping up Neymar http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/7941816/Chelseas-Bruce-Buck-at-the-centre-of-tapping-up-claims-by-Santos-over-Neymar.html :mouthclosed:

what did I say earlier Alex??

One main reason for that was because he was just too old at the time and we didn't get the best out of him. If we had signed him years before (which would have been an absolute difficulty), he would have performed better. Neymar is 18 and has a hell of a load of years ahead of him.

Fucking brilliant news if this is true!! :delight:

Santos are trying to sweeze every last million out of us for him, and I don't blame them to be honest

I suppose the only reason he's likely to aquire number 7 is the fact that he plays as a winger as well as a striker. I don't know many wingers that wear the number 9. I guess it doesn't really matter as long as he does the business, but that's only if he signs.

I prefer number 9. Number 7 is a cursed number at Chelsea (Maniche, Mutu, Sheva)
