I hate to sound like an Arsenal fan, but why the fuck would the club post a tweet with Ricky Carvalho's goal vs United and tweet: Here are our Portugeezers. Come on, that has to be cheeky.

Fresh reports of us trying to convince him and make him pay out his clause. http://sportwitness.co.uk/chelsea-submit-e30m-offer-transfer-potentially-last-hour/ Hope it's true, but I doubt it.

Well no, he is more inconsistent than Oscar. And arguably Oscar is better than him in every aspect. Would rather keep the brazillian at b2b, than play him.

I would NOT be surprised for him to be brought as a CB. I'm not saying he is, but he has the technical ability and can carry the ball out of the back, not to say that he is defensively astute, rellies more on his intelligence to intercept and tackle, rather than be pacey and catch up to the opposing winger. So, it would make sense. He isn't worth 25 million euro, but that is still cheap and given our situation it's completely normal that Fiorentina would milk us with a few mil. more.

Same Balague who said Valencia won't sell Mustafi, only for him to be travelling to London, today? Yeah..

Him and Maksimovic would be cheap and ideal. 45 million euro both of them. And they shouldn't be able to stop Aina or Christensen developing.

Decent signing, it would be. Consistent with okay performances. Not amazing, not bad either. Good in deffence, very technical in attack. Pinpoint crosses. Barca were in for him or Lucas Digne, but opted for Digne, don't know the reason.

@xPetrCechx sry, Peets, the source was Romano. I just hope this deal is accepted/rejected fast so we don't lose out on Maksimovic.

We've officialy submitted a 42 mil. Offer. Good money. Apparently, Milan will consider it. It's in Euro, btw. Would like to see fast development so we can bag Maksimovic.

Uhm and? Juventus lack a typical creative playmaker. They finally have that in Pjanic. The plus of having a ball playing defender is not him pumping balls forward to the CF. It's him being calm with the ball, short or long pass and having the ability to pass perfectly in order to control play and/or control/slow the tempo. Romagnoli can do that.

Since when are we looking for our central defender to be able to lump balls forwards? He is defender. He has to able to defend. WHICH, he does. One of the best Italy prospects. I'd prefer Maksimovic, but I'd love to risk money on him, as with him, Christensen and Zouma(if all develop correctly) we'd have a monstrous back three.

I've rarely said a player is bad in general, without actually seeing him and he is in the same mould. Misplacing simple passes. Does one thing great, then looses the ball ten seconds later, because he attempts an impossible nutmeg. I'd rather we try Schneiderllin from United or Momo Diame even. I just don't think he'd do us good. Squad player for us, at best.

Just proof YouTube can make even Oscar good. Trust me when I say this. HE. IS. WORSE. THAN. OSCAR. And that's saying a lot.

2 scenarios. We either get him or we get someone like Maksimovic or Romagnoli. Simple. Just get it done. We can play against Burnley with this defence, but we'll need someone after deadline day..

Reports saying Torino want Atsu. Given the situation with K2, surely we can strike a deal with them easily. And their chairman's recent comments.

How do you people generally believe a man, taylor made in the Juve setup and loving every second of it would leave them for us. Same as Bonucci, hahaha, they've made their heart, only change will be Rugani with Barzagli. Come on, it's the sun. I realise desperate times call for desperate measures, but please, Chiellini? It's more likely Messi will join us then him.

Can I start by saying how happy I am we appointed this man. I just like the charisma he has, the passion he brings with him and the tactical estute he also has. Yes he started the same line up and Mazzari, knowing Antonio's style counter played it by exploiting our weak full backs. Oscar had an off game, which he didn't have vs WH, same as Matic. But his substites came at a perfect time. He wanted to try and penetrate them first with Moses, they were still compact, so he waited on them being perfectly tired so he brought on the physical and pacey presence in Michy and Fabregas to supply and control the game. He knows when and how. This is not me overrating, well maybe a bit, but fuck me, if this was Jose he'd have brought in Chalobah, Ruben and Michy so that we can pump long balls forwards hoping we get an equaliser, Conte grabbed the game by the fucking balls knowing we had nothing to lose. He's making that team get together and if he succeeds, he'll be here, hopefully, for the long.

You didn't get my point. I am not hating on Costa THAT much. I don't want him sold. I want him to play combinative, when he obviously can't dribble and be fast in his passing and decision making. I've been defending him for a long time and I love the bloke, but I don't want us to be so reliant on him. Guess that is where my frustration is coming from.

He was so shit today. While I burst out screaming when he scored, let's not get ahead of ourselves. If someone genuinely believes Costa anything short of shite, then pardon me for bursting the bubble. Yes, he scored the winner in both games, and yes I am grateful for that, but fuck me. His dribbling, his passing, his intelect as a whole is so low. He doesn't know how or when to pass. I counted more than three times he could have played Hazard in behind the deffence. He did not. Because he can't. Simple. And I get it, he's limited, but fuck me, we were so electric when Bats came on, it's not even a joke. He became a shadow, until he popped up for the goal and he was so close to missing it with his shite controlling of the ball. Don't get me wrong, I really like the bloke, but when his goals and luck not being sent off dries out, we'll have a problem. And by that time, everyone will probably have his head on a plate.

We won't pay 60 mil. Pounds for him, I'm willing to bet my house.

Chelsea fans - Going from pay the fucking to 50 mil. , to fuck me, we're paying 50 mil, they're ripping us off. Just get him in. The market's inflated anyways.

Was subbed off just before FT and applauded off with standing ovations. Took his time leaving. Meaning, Taking his goodbyes. Think he's off to Inter, personally.

Sogn him, sign Maia. Easy transition from one to the other in 2 or 3 years times. Both are better than Matic.

Due to the spam of people, who usually judge a player by not watching and seeing he isn't above 80 on FIFA, can someone fill me in on how this deal is going? Please?

Wellp, didn't know that. If what are you saying is true, which I presume it is, then we are well and truly fucked.
