Well it looks like hes getting a £4mill gold watch for putting himself out for a year doing the job he was contracted to do.

Scarey innit? I'm getting skidmarks.

I was there for his 1st game for us and the guys brilliant. But it depends on your character I suppose. I understand its just a job to him with no love or loyalty to nobody but himself and family. But he didnt umm and arr when he took over from Cudi when he had a knock. He didnt moan saying no I cant take his job. He could have played out his contract with us or gone to Mou with his problem. If he said look Ive played 15 games this season and Id like to stay If I could play 'x' games Id stay and fight for my position just like any other position on the pitch. I love the guy but why should he get preferential treatment. Hes had the choice to play anywhere in the world yet hes gone to one of the teams we hate. You cant tell me that hasn;t crossed his mind at some point. Maybe hes doing it just to be a C.

A tough decision. I understand mate. Its awful losing our favourite player. But since seeing Frankie in that awful color blue it made me realize we should be about the club 1st. We can love what they do for us but we cant afford sentiment in team selection. But then again I will always love Zola. (But he never buggered off to the Gooners Ha!)

Nothing personal! Was wondering - you in for a name change when big Pete is a smelly Gooner?

Appologies. i did a search but didnt see one.

It looks like its just come out of its plastic wrapping like some dodgy Lacoste knockoff. Look at the tucks around the badge, Looks iffy. As for trainers Im into old retro Adidas or a nice Air Jordan but Ive got a cupbord full of DC.

Im sorry but I hate the Gooners with a passion and having Cech go there is like treason and he should be hung,drawn and quartered.

I thought seeing as we have been linked with him so much there might be summet in it. Another strong 22 year old CB. APPARENTLY hes only £7mill so very cheap. This was in the Express The centre-back has reportedly informed his agent and brother Sahr Senesie to put together a deal that will see him move to Stamford Bridge. However, Wolfsburg and Porto are also known to have an interest in the 22-year-old which may dissuade Chelsea from making an offer

So it seems that Mr Austin has his future sorted. Bookies Betfair have closed betting on him as they say hes going to the Hammers.

I wonder if Ospina would fancy a trip up West?

I would like to see a good young CB to team up with Zouma so they can grow together and be together for years hopefully. But then there the argument that adding experience like a Miranda/Godin would be better altho we would need to replace after a few years and not get our money back. Im torn about it TBH.

Laters Big Pete

Latest reports theyve offered £28.5 mill.

I think the Dippers will end up signing him. But what I dont understand is why many on here seem to think that we should be signing someone cheap as a supposedly 3rd striker. It doent make much difference what place in the peckong order he is as we didnt really know who was last season. Ill repeat what I said on another thread but with Falcao coming why cant we sign another top striker? Someone who will push Costa and fight for top spot. Other clubs seem to be manage having 2/3 good players for 1 position. Unless of course we sign a goal scoring number 10 or RAM then we could relax slightly striker wise.

This is my question too. We was told that surgery would solve his problem but I would have thought he would have been straight in on the monday after Palace. By the time the States tournament came he would have been fighting fit. He cant go for another season relying on Dr Evas magic hand jobs.

I hear ya!

I wish we could also attract top of the shelf players too. It does make me shake my head sometimes when I see players going elsewhere. You dont often hear of one of them say 'Id die happy if I played for Chelsea' Slight exageration

He seems a strong fast lad too thats clever on the ball. Might make a good pairing with Zouma plus with the French connection theyd probably already know each other pretty well. Plus it SEEMS Mou has had his eye on him. But Im really not sure about how much Mou is comncerned with transfers (incoming or outgoing) Ive said it before but remember the reports when he came back about the clause in his contract saying Emenalo was in complete charge of them? I think maybe they just use him for deals to help talk players round and he adds his comments.

With it looking like we wont/can't be signing Varane it seems we are looking far and wide for other central defenders with many names being linked with us. But more reports are coming up about Lyons Samuel Umtiti (CD and LB) lately. Samuel Umtiti Report Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is a big fan of the defender and the former Real Madrid boss wants him to partner alongside Kurt Zouma. France Football has covered the story and add their own findings. Jean-Michel-Aulas said on Friday that Umtiti is ‘non transferable” but France Football speculates that his mind could change quickly if a big offer is put on the table. The 21-year-old defender has a contract at the club till 2017 and would cost around €12m. Umtiti is a highly talented defender who has already played over 100 games for his club after graduating from the club’s youth academy and has represented France national team at various youth levels. And a blinding goal against Spuds

Agree IF it meant we had to get rid of someone to upgrade. But IF we had the option I would keep them both. Not necessarily as our 1st option but to offer as an alternative. But then again Willian wouldn.t make a good number 10 neither.

I did say Ive included the good ones bruv. I loved Jimmy Floyd.

He dont seem too bad. Will he be happy playing 18+ games tho? Youve got to think he might like a chance to play against the big boys in Europe if he got a chance. Whoever we get we need to be able to trust him. I never liked the idea of a 42 year old but he kept some important clean sheets when we needed him and I remember he had a real good game against the dippers. We will more than likely be sighing Thibauts old coach Guy Martens so probably worth getting his advice because it will be him training the guy not Lollichon. I see Gooners have let Ospina goon the market and also their GK coach Roberts.

PSG Supposedly put in a £28.5 mill bid

Theres also a civil law. whereas the goverment only states there should be a seat for everyone theres no law that says we have to sit down. And I'm sure theres plenty of others that have seen like me our over zealous stewards over using their powers in telling people to sit down. And people having received letters from the club warning them to do so. I know of mates that never sit down at their grounds.
