That's why he WILL be a squad player. You need to mix it up once in a while. If we took Cesc off in a match and brought Mceachran on, it would be pointless. Ramires isn't the best player around, but he offers us something we don't have.

None of our youngsters have the attributes that Ramires has. His pace is his weapon, and it has been vital for us in years gone by.

Who would replace him for the same value, that is decent?

Looks like RM want him now. They are willing to pay £25m for him.

His girlfriend is Spanish, and she doesn't want to move. The things some people do for love. LOL!

I am sure that story isn't true. He wants to make his name at Chelsea this season. To be fair to him, he should be staying at Chelsea this season, instead of going out on loan which looks likely!

Everyday I hear Lukaku is moving somewhere or another, but it is clear to see he wants to make his name at Chelsea. Mourinho needs to make a wise decision about his future, which doesn't involve him being sold.

People are making too much of a big deal about the rumoured Rakitic deal. The reason we didn't go for him is because, he wants to stay in Spain. Realistically, the only two clubs he would have moved to were either Barca or RM.

I doubt I am the only one here who would like Torres to succeed at Chelsea, but how many chances does he need?! I think even if he went to RM or Barca, he wouldn't fair much better. If he does stay, he has to improve drastically or, be out of the door in Jan.

Spot on, but the most important thing is making the most of the chances he gets.

LMAO!

His favourite store is Krispy Kreme in Enfield. He's coming to us.

If he is coming, it has to be announced before the WC.

It is more like a place for has been Brazilians. LOL!

True, but that works both ways.

Not sure he wasn't keen on coming. We fight on all fronts, he will get a starting role, and we had a better season than Barca. Can't see why money would have to sway it. We ain't Utd.

If I am correct, he would be our highest paid player. He is good, but £150k max should suffice.

The price tag might be decent, but some people have said we could offer him a weekly wage of £200k. That's where it doesn't sound so good.

Looks like it's only a matter of time till Costa to Chelsea is officially confirmed!

I personally think the whole saga is a joke. We are paying over the odds because he is English, and not how good he is.

He is worth £30m plus £100k pw? I don't think so!

I am talking about the price tag. We are going for someone with experience for half the price. We are buying wisely, and not just hoping it will work out.

The figures going around to acquire his services aren't right in my book. We shouldn't have to pay over the odds for ANY player. Utd are eager for instant success, we aren't. We are on course to have a great season, if he buy wisely.

He isn't going anywhere then. Good to know!

Looks like Costa and Filipe Luis are joining us then.
