Hi friend! Totally agree with you. 20 million euros is a bargain. But perhaps more than 40 million pounds is too high a price. You are from Portugal, you think that William Carvalho has level to play with us ?. I have been unable usually see him, but in the videos he looks like a player TOP for midfield, a beast in the midfield able to steal balls, retrieve them, fight them, and distribute the ball reaching the opponent's box. In fact, in this thread I put a video of 24 minutes where William Carvalho plays scandalously good. For me it is a rather interesting player. What do you think? is William Carvalho ready to play for Chelsea? Thanks in advance. Regards.

Chelsea face Barcelona competition for potential John Obi Mikel replacement Chelsea and Barcelona are believed to be considering a move for Atletico Madrid playmaker Koke. http://www.caughtoffside.com/2015/06/24/chelsea-face-barcelona-competition-for-potential-john-obi-mikel-replacement/

There is a very important news About KOKE. The current president of Barcelona, Bartolomeu, has told to the Spanish journalists that he will sign a top player if he is elected as president of Barcelona in mid-July. That mysterious signing is a midfielder, Spanish and which currently plays in La Liga. And me and everybody in Spain thinks that this signing is KOKE. I think Koke is the only one player with those characteristics in La Liga, Isco or Koke. This could be interesting, because it seems that the other favorite candidate, Joan Laporta, is trying to sign Pogba as major electoral promise. And today a journalist has asked Koke "if he was going to continue in Atletico Madrid next season" and Koke said "I'm on vacation, I have contract." But he did not want to deny this possibility. Bartolomeu candidate has said he will make official and say the name of this TOP player in the second week of July, before the elections. Obviously what I will say is football fiction, but Bartolomeu announced the signing of Koke but if Joan Laporta is finally elected president of FC Barcelona and he gets signing Paul Pogba, you're likely to want no sign Laporta Koke in the next four years for having been Koke a promise of the rival candidate. And what's important about this is that Koke could be thinking of leaving Atletico Madrid this summer. And if he can not sign for Barcelona, maybe we could try to convince him to join us. It's football fiction, but I hope that this wet dream can come true. Regards.

I think Sergio Ramos has too much work to do to learn how to speak in English :D Regards.

We should try to convince Oxlade-Chambelain and force Arsenal to sell him to us YES OR YES. It is a question of honor... Regards.

Yes that is true. But in Spain we feel a lot of admiration for players With high quality, those players that can do 10 bad games, but if they make a spectacular match, we love Him. It's like Guti al Real Madrid. He could have been one of the best players in the history of Real Madrid, but he was more concerned about go partying. And despite that, with make one or two good games all season, everyone in Spain loved him. That style of player in Spain is generally very loved by their fans. Like "Magico Gonzalez", like "Juanito", like De la Peña ... Those players who are like good perfumes, with a few drops per season is enough. But as I said before, I think for Valencia Parejo can be a good player, or for Atletico de Madrid. Teams that in England could be as Tottemhan. Regards.

Hi friend! I agree that Pajero has been the leader of Valencia, but maybe he had to be taken a step further, and to make that Valencia were ahead of Atletico de Madrid. Valencia now has a project with a lot of money, a good coach and good players, and maybe Parejo should have been thrown the team behind him. I think it is the typical player that everyone knows he is a great player, but there is something in him for which he does not become a top player. In Spain there has been a great generation of midfielders, not only Iniesta and Xavi, Also Fabregas, Thiago Alcantara, Koke... and Parejo could have been on that list perfectly. But he would have needed to take that step forward. Regards.

Hi friend! I think you've pretty well defined Parejo. A player of a similar style to Iniesta and Lampard, but light years ahead of them, obviously. Parejo is a player trained at the academy of Real Madrid, and in his day, everyone said he was going to be the big jewel of Spanish football like Thiago Alcantara in La Masia and FC Barcelona. I remember Alfredo Di Stefano saying that Pajero was going to be a world star. But like many young players in Real Madrid, Pajejo was believed that he was a god of football and his career at Real Madrid was a failure. I remember in 2009 when Barcelona was with Guardiola having 16 points in the league over about Real Madrid and Parejo said: "We are the best team in the world and we are going to win this league." Barcelona won the treble that year and everyone in Spain were laughing about Parejo. After being in Real Madrid, Parejo played in Getafe, a small team of Madrid, and he did well, being the leader of a small team. And because of that he joined Valencia, where he became at first a major player, but in recent times he has dropped a little performance even think he had problems with the club, so he has not renewed its contract. I think Parejo has never become adapted to the demands of a big team. His big problem is that he has never taken a step forward to be the true leader of his team, and is a player who if it is not always in the starting eleven he tends to get off his performance. And maybe their behavior is a bit controversial. It is the typical case of young boy which someone sells him that he will be the next Zidane and after seeing that this is impossible, he lowers his performance. And to become a backup for Fabregas I think maybe Parejo would not adapt to that role. He is the typical player who needs a lot of continuity to perform at their best. And even when he is in the starting eleven, Parejo tends to be intermittent. On his future, I think I have read that Atletico de Madrid was interested in signing him when his contract ends. And maybe he can be a good choice for Atletico de Madrid. But his limit is that kind of teams like Valencia or Atletico de Madrid, or Tottemham in England. A good player with very bad head. Regards.

William Carvalho vs Italy U21s 21/06/2015 U21s European Championships HD Another good performance of William Cavalho against Italy U21 at European Championship U21. His signing for us seems unlikely, but what I find funny is the news that appears today in the Portuguese newspaper Record, they said that Monaco wants to sign William Carvalho and are willing to pay 20 million euros (14.40 million pounds) for him. The funny thing is that when Arsenal or Manchester United are interested in signing William Carlalho their price are more than 40 million pounds, but if it is Monaco their price are 14.40 million pounds. It's amazing how the mass media inflate the prices of the players to sell newspapers... And again I say, William Carvalho would be an interesting option for our midfield watching this market. A beast in the midfield like Yaya Toure when he was playing in Barcelona... Regards.

Hi friend! Yes, Varane just got married, but not in Spain, their wedding was in France (Opal Coast (France) according to reports). And as for her white dress, the players are usually very extravagant, and Varane seems not to have a lot of taste by choosing their wedding outfits. I hope Jose know teach him how to dress with class in London But I agree with you, now sign Varane seems impossible. Although there is only one team so absurd like to sell Varane considering the age of Ramos and Pepe, and that team is Real Madrid. Regards.

Hi friend! Yes. That is the sad part of the transfer market. If Ancelotti had continued in Real Madrid the most probable would have been that Varane had asked to leave Real Madrid because Pepe and Ramos were indisputable with Ancelotti. In fact, right now the contract renewal of Pepe seems completely stopped. So Varane would become the indisputable Centre-back in Real Madrid. As, on the other hand, it seems normal because Varane is better than Ramos and Pepe. I think that just a phone call of Jose could change this situation. And, although some reports in Spain said that Varane is not fully sure to continue in Real Madrid because he have doubts about RaFAT Benitez, I think his move is impossible now. And it is something really sad. But I have still hopes because Varane want to be next season on a team where he's going to play every match in the starting eleven thinking at Euro 2016. That's the last bullet that we have to sign him. With us Varane would play every match and could learn a lot from John Terry (c). I hope his move is still possible. It would be my dream. Regards.

Hi friend! Totally agree. Absolutely agree with you. John Terry (c) is a legend. Undoubtedly. Yes, but I was talking about a player for the midfield, a player profile like Gerrard, Scholes or Xavi Hernandez. And also wanted to say a legend for the next decade, the next legend. Obviously John Terry (c) is a legend, but not just a Chelsea legend, John Terry (c) is a legend in world football, like Maldini or Puyol. A player for all of us to be proud of him. And for me he is a Legend, Leader, Captain (O Captain, My Captain). I expressed myself badly. I apologize. What I meant is a legend for that profile / style player, an offensive player who make the difference at the opponent's box for the next decade. But John Terry (c) is our legend. The most important player in our history. Regards.

Step by step. Good performance and good words. I think this guy can be, as Jose said, the big (and good) surprise in the English football next season. It's easy to recognize the special players, and Ruben is one of them, one of us. About his role on the pitch, I think Ruben Loftus-Cheek is not a player to take the role of Matic. For me he is a more offensive player who has to have more freedom to reach the opponent's box. Perhaps the position of number 10 would be perfect for him, With Matic and Fabregas as pure midfielders. In postseason games he played in that position and I think it's the best for him. Fabregas Matic RLC In any case, this guy is pure gold. No loans, no matches on the bench, RLC deserves a chance. To have the hegemony of English football we also need to create a legend from our Academy, as Steven Gerrard, Paul Scholes or Xavi Hernandez. And RLC is the guy. Regards.

Hi friend! Yes. I had the same feeling. To me Ramos is only trying to get a new contract with a higher salary. But in the last week everything has changed. It seems that the brother of Sergio Ramos (who is also his agent) has offered to several candidates for the elections for president of FC Barcelona the possibility that Sergio Ramos can sign for Barcelona this summer. In principle, this was just a ploy to pressure Real Madrid and their president (Florentino Perez) and get a better contract because Sergio Ramos Ramos is a player loved by the fans of Real Madrid. But the effect of his maneuver was totally different from what pretended Sergio Ramos because the fans of Real Madrid have reacted against Sergio Ramos calling him traitor for negotiating with Barcelona. And now it seems that Sergio Ramos is looking for an exit to any equipment because he is angry with the president and is afraid of the reaction from the fans of Real Madrid. Right now it seems that Sergio Ramos will leave Real Madrid this summer. And his friends journalists (the same who attacked Jose in Madrid) are saying in the Spanish press that Sergio Ramos has fully decided to leave Real Madrid this summer. Personal friends who act as their own spokespersons from the press as pseudo journalists. Although everything can change in 24 hours because Sergio Ramos just wants money. He also abandoned his former team (Sevilla) for money to go to Real Madrid. It is quite problematic player. According to the (reliable) reports, Real Madrid offers Sergio Ramos 14 million euros (10 million pounds) per season. But Sergio Ramos requires 20 million euros (14.40 million pounds) per season to renew his contract or he goes to another team. The distance is quite large. I thought Sergio Ramos was going to renew his contract, but now I have my doubts. Florentino Perez does not have good relationship with him and Casillas because he knows that they prepared a campaign against Mourinho to lead him to decide to leave. And Florentino Perez does not like that the players are who control the club. And Jose is his friend. In mid-July are the elections for president of FC Barcelona, and in Spain there is a rumor that is growing that says that Ramos could go to Barcelona with the Candidate (and former president) Joan Laporta. I think it's almost impossible, but a good deal can purchase Ramos. Ramos is a mercenary. But there are other candidates for the presidency of FC Barcelona that also could be interested in signing Ramos. In fact, Jordi Majo, another candidate for the presidency of FC Barcelona, said this week it is true that one representative has offered him to sign Ramos to Barcelona as an electoral bomb. Most likely, he comes to the Premier next season if he leaves Real Madrid, and probably his team is Manchester United. Which is perfect for us, because I perfectly know the playing style of Ramos, and, despite being a great centre-back, he makes many stupid mistakes that in Spain are forgiven for being a Spanish player. But in England, where the culture of football is more expert, I think that those mistakes will condemn Ramos to failure in England. We do not have to fear that Ramos signed for United. He is not a player to play in Premier League. I hope I explained well, and so sorry for the long text. Regards.

Radamel Falcao vs Brazil (Copa America 2015) HD 720p (17/06/2015) by SkyMediaHD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf-5xcxFic8 Radamel Falcao vs Venezuela ● Copa America 2015 HD 720p (14/06/2015) by SkyMediaHD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgSpbr3rPMI

Fabregas was also finished last year and this year he has made 42 appearances. 5 goals. 21 assists. Or John Terry © (Captain, Leader, Legend) was also finished two seasons ago. Every big player can have one or two bad seasons and then recover his best performance. Including players who have had significant injuries like Xavi Hernandez and his knee injury in 2006 A good manager can change everything. If Falcao would have failed with Manchester United and Milan and Liverpool (for example) I'd be against his signing. But Falcao has failed just with Manchester United, with an absurd and proud coach like Van Gaal who never wanted to sign Falcao. A loan with option to buy for the future is a good option to check if Falcao is still one of the best forward in the world. I trust Falcao. Regards.

Willian vs Peru | 14/6/15 - Copa America - w/English Commentary Willian vs Colombia (Copa America) 2015 720p (50 FPS) I believe that we must not forget that Willian is a more than good option to our right-winger. Maybe he is not a galactic, but he does not need to be this, he is a great player with admirable tactical discipline. I trust Willian, and if the market continues mad, I would be more than satisfied with Willian as our Right-Winger. About Douglas Costa, I think he is more interested in joining to us than we want to sign him. But it may be interesting to have a player like Willian, a very complete player but more static about overflows, and another as Douglas Costa a player with more dynamism with capacity for overflow and reach the end of the field to give the final attendance. It would be like having the day and the night for our right-winger. I think both are perfectly would complement as two different variants tactics to our right-winger. Regards.

Seems that Atletico this close to signing Vietto (Simeone talks today About him as if he had already signed for Atletico), and also reports today say that Jackson Martinez is offering by itself to of Atletico de Madrid. Seems that Jackson Martinez wants to go to of Atletico de Madrid than the other team. But its price is 35 million euros (25 million pounds), an amount of money very high for of Atletico de Madrid (IMO). Vietto. http://www.marca.com/en/2015/06/20/en/football/spanish_football/1434818524.html Jackson Martinez. http://www.marca.com/en/2015/06/20/en/football/spanish_football/1434811753.html But it seems that of Atletico de Madrid wants two attackers for next season. Maybe Griezmann is more outside than inside of Atletico de Madrid... Regards.

Hi friend! Totally agree. But you believe that Song would preclude the arrival of Witsel? Right now we have: Matic; Fabregas; Oscar; Willian; Ramires; Mikel; RLC, Aké and (maybe) Zouma to play in our midfield. 1. Matic, Fabregas and William are untouchable. 2. Zouma will be centre-back, but can play on midfielder at times (And for me Zouma is untouchable). 3. Oscar and Ramires could be on the market if a really good deal appears. 4. I think Jose will bet strongly on Ruben Loftus-Cheek. 5. Aké will be on loan next season (I trust Ake). 6. And it seems that Mikel might be thinking of leaving us. I think Jose will sign a TOP midfielder, like Koke, Pogba, Gundogan ... not them, but a player of that profile. And I think Witsel could be that midfielder. He's not a top player, obviously, but I think he could be a good signing to accompany Matic in midfield if the market does not offer anything better. Song at the place of Mikel, and Witsel or someone similar to midfield. I read that Witsel had doubts to come to the Bridge because he wants his place in the starting eleven guaranteed thinking at Euro 2016. Our midfielders would be: Matic, Fabregas, Willian, Zouma, Oscar (doubt), Ramires (doubt), RLC, Song?, Witsel?. With Mikel and Aké (on loan) out. By the way. And I insist, William Carvalho would be an interesting option. Regards.

As I mentioned before, Alex Song is a player who, as Fabregas for example, takes place as a player raised in England for the minimum quota of English or players formed in England. I think it is quite probable that he is in our plans for this reason. And 5/6 million pounds would be a bargain. A good signing to complete our squad. Regards.

Thanks for the recommendation. But I look at sports newspapers to see how the market is moving while there is no matches. Many may be false and some true. I look at the reports which are related to us and put them in case someone may be interested and I comment these possible moves. But it is never a frustration, or something to become insane. I enjoyed a lot when the rumor About Messi appeared. Or every rumor linking Chelsea with Varane. The illusion, and fantasies move the world. I think Chelsea looks more than 20 players each summer market, and in reports appearing over 300. But even so, this is exciting and interesting. It is part of football. Anyway, hopefully we can sign William Carvalho for our midfielder. I wish Jose look at Willian Carvalho because it could be a good N.5 for us. Regards.

Hi friend! Yes. But last summer Jose was trying to sign William Carvalho until the last moment. But Sporting demanded 50 million pounds. This year it seems that its price will be lower. I think it would be a perfect choice for our midfield. Regards.

William Carvalho vs England (EUROU21) 18/06/2015 HD 1. William Carvalho had a perfect performance the other day against England U21. 2. Perfect N.5. 3. He seems like Yaya Toure. 2007 Home Yaya Toure vs Inter Milan 4. He is playing against players U21, but which are mainly players trained to play in Premier League. Important. 5. I do not want to see this guy playing for Arsenal. Regards.

I do not know Umtiti in depth, but he seems to have a characteristics and abilities to play as Left-Back, rather than for Centre-Back. IMO. But I think Left-Back would be his best position. I've been looking at Whoscored and they say he has played this season 35 matches, all as a centre-back, but I think he is a very fast player who has capabilities to play well at left-back as backup for Azpilicueta or Ivanovic (with Azpi on the right). He is very young (21 years). Although Lyon is a team with which is very difficult to negotiate. But it is true that Umtiti is another young and interesting option that lately the reports relate it to us. We'll see what happens. Regards.
