Nope Ozil is def faster, you clearly don't know Ozil, you should youtube him (Madrid times). Oscar can't beat opponents with his pace, that's one of his weaknesses as a 10/AM.

Wow, do you have a link?

Think Poldi and Ozil are faster than Oscar, not sure about Cazorla.

Lol@ "mou and ronaldo share a great relationship" no they don't

Carlo has only won 3 league titles in 19 years, that's not enough to be qualified as a world class manager. He had one of the best AC Milan teams ever and just won 1 serie A title with it in 8 years.

What do you think of Khedira for free next season?

Think we will see that combo in some big matches this season.

Mourinho: Van Gaal will succeed at Manchester United http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/article?contentId=5091967

Fabregas: Mourinho, Chelsea told me what I needed to hear Q. When did you decide to go and why? A. I started having the idea after the Copa Del Rey final, when I started thinking that there might be a change or it might not make sense to continue. Q. Did you talk to Luis Enrique? A. No. I informed the club a week after losing the League, from London, in the week off before the World Cup. I called Zubizarreta. And from the answer, I felt I was doing them a favor, it was good for them and for me. I talked to my manager and told him to look for a new team. The offer from Chelsea came and for me it was back to London, the place where I grew up. There was no better way out. I spoke with Mourinho and he told me things I needed to hear, I felt valued, I felt it would be an important part of something important. http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2014/9/8/6120921/cesc-fabregas-interview

Welcome to the world of Cesc Fabregas

Any quotes?

I've never mentioned Suarez in my post.

And Remy, who scored France's only goal in the 1-0 win over Spain last week, said: "I did not understand myself. A problem during the medical examination? I do not know. They put it, that must be it. "In my head, I quite wanted to stay at QPR, but I did not hesitate one second to many reasons: for my room for improvement, for my confidence, in terms of level of demand and Chelsea is one of the best clubs in the world. I'm happy to have signed for a club like this. "I know I'm not going to be the first striker, but nothing is set. I have goals. By signing here, I did not say it was to stay on the sidelines. I will try to move up alongside great players. The rest will happen naturally." http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/398469/Chelsea-forward-Loic-Remy-BAFFLED-as-to-why-his-Liverpool-move-collapsed

Yep I agree Pogba would be a luxury signing but he would definitely improve us. He's better than Oscar and Ramires and is HG.

Spot on, world giants like United Real Barca have al real advantage with FFP.

Yes Or 4-2-3-1 pivot matic-pogba and cesc on 10.

Zlatan isn't the best, he is seldom decisive in big matches. Where has he performed all over the years? At Eredivisie? Serie A? Ligue 1? The Italian league isn't that strong anymore and the Ligue 1 is just bad. Where was Zlatan in CL knockout matches? Where was Zlatan in EC/WC or even the qualifiers? He's just a good striker and I do like him but he's really not that special.

Think he means 6 weeks out like at Atletico last season.

Play Miranda-Silva as the CB duo, play Luiz in the CDM position and make him the captain.

http://www.espnfc.co.uk/chelsea/story/2021378/frank-lampard-chelsea-player-power-claims-a-load-of-crap "AVB had played his cards and it hadn't worked," he told The Sun. "I don't know if he was too young or whether it had come too early for him. "One thing I will address is that a lot of people said when he and Phil Scolari and some of the other managers left it was all down to player power at Chelsea. "That's a load of crap. I'm being completely honest. Okay, AVB and I were not very close but I don't need to be close to my manager - but I am definitely not the type to act up. "No one at the club was. Even Ash [Cole], who I know wasn't happy not playing week-in week-out, would never have run off and said, 'Please sack the manager, we've had enough of him'. That's plain ridiculous. We are professionals. "Can you imagine what Roman Abramovich would've said to him? 'I pay your wages, I make the decisions, now f--- off and play.' "It just didn't work with AVB. He then went on to Tottenham and had another experience which was negative. Now he's apparently doing pretty well at Zenit so good luck to him. We all learn." Lampard described Villas-Boas' sacking as "a horrible night for the club." Chelsea had just lost 3-1 at Napoli in the Champions League -- a scoreline they would turn around under Di Matteo before going on to win the competition. "It had been brewing for some time -- there had been a few problems in the AVB era from the start," Lampard said. "He was a very young manager and he had been at the club before. But he changed a lot of things all at once to try to put his own imprint on the club which, to be honest, I think he may have been asked to do. "But it seemed quite clear that he didn't see me, Didier Drogba and, to a point, Ashley Cole as being in tune with how he wanted to do it or the way the club should go. I was in and out of the team and Didier didn't play a lot, either. "I'm not stupid. If I'm playing regularly and a new manager comes in, brings in a couple of new players and then leaves you out for a good few weeks, you understand what it is. We then went to Napoli and he didn't play me or Ash while he had Jose Bosingwa out of position at left-back. "It was a disastrous night. AVB went soon after, Robbie Di Matteo came in, me and Ash came back for the second leg, Didier scored the first and the team turned it round." Lampard is now on loan at Manchester City from Major League Soccer's latest franchise, New York City FC, and could face his old club when they meet on Sep. 21 in the Premier League. And the midfielder, who retired from international football last week, is confident there will be no ill-feeling when he takes on the Blues. "I don't see it as a slight on anyone if I take part," Lampard added. "The way I feel about Chelsea fans, it wouldn't be a problem to play in front of them again. I have nothing but good feelings for them and know I'd get a good reception. "I know I said I'd never play for another Premier League club and I never thought I would. I left Chelsea and my feeling was to go to play abroad. So I signed for New York - which is a great chance for me - entirely in good faith. "I know people say it was a set-up situation for me then to go to City. It wasn't. The only thing I hadn't worked out was how to stay fit before starting in the States. But then City approached me to train, play and be part of the squad. The champions of England, a fantastic club, with a squad brimming with talent. It just made complete sense. "If I'd had five months off at 36, I don't know what state I would have been in to play. But now I'm fit enough to be involved and knocking on the door and I don't want to be here just to make up the numbers. I haven't broached it with the manager yet but I'm sure we will speak about it. I don't think it would be right for me to declare now that I didn't want to play because what happens if City get two or three injuries in midfield? "Am I going to allow them to play a kid there when they are paying my wages? On a professional note, I have to get my head round that one. As a Chelsea player I would never have acted like that and I don't want to start now. Whatever I do, it will be with completely the right intentions on all fronts."

"I thank Liverpool and Chelsea for everything they gave me, but I felt it was the right moment to change," the Spaniard told reporters. "When the chance to join Milan presented itself, I accepted and I am looking to score lots of goals again. I needed a new challenge. "A new adventure is about to begin and I hope to achieve what I have done in my previous experiences. I hope to spend many years at Milan, full of success and trophies. I am very happy." He added: "I had a very good relationship with Jose. When I was signed by Milan he wished me all the best. He spoke about the passion that the city of Milan has for football and that I would settle in well. I learnt a lot from him as a coach. Perhaps in the future our paths will meet again." http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/chelsea/news/torres-i-needed-a-new-challenge_174726.html

Yeah read this too. Falcao's agent: "It is a permanent deal but due to the fair play rules the first year must be a loan." #mufc

I would love it, wish him all the best there.

My colleague @matallanas says that Falcao has signed for Manchester United for €65m. Four seasons, €9 net a year. Via @diarioas 10:47am - 1 Sep 14 (Guilem Balague)
