League title and FA/League cup is the minimum goal for next season with the players Emenalo/Roman have brought in.

He can play every single midfield position.

I sound incredibly negative right now but imagine a Pogba and Matic midfield pairing. Fabregas would be a great alternative if Juve refuse to sell but Matic/Pogba would easily be the best midfield in the World. Fabregas also encourages more of Ramires in midfield next season. Can't see Jose playing Cesc and Oscar together.

Have a hard time believing we'll sign this weak minded cunt instead of a future superstar like Paul Pogba. Costa, Pogba & Shaw ffs Jose.

Speechless.

Class goal. Shit performance. Lucky not to be subbed off.

Hopefully Atletico refuse to sell Costa if we continue to pursue Luis.

Anyone who cares about signings at this moment in time must be out of their mind. I'll be furious if we let our greatest player ever leave without a proper send-off.

Our club is a fucking joke if this is true.

Signing Shaw would be a similar to the significant investment Real Madrid made for Sergio Ramos (€27m) 9 years ago while he was still a teenager. Overpriced at the time but Ramos went on to become one of the best in his position (originally a fullback like Shaw), is vice-captain and scored the crucial goal to eventually led to La Decima. There are simply certain players you just have to make an exception for and when Utd are also in contention for said player it's an additional incentive. I don't really invest my time in transfer rumours but I'll be annoyed if we don't sign Shaw and let him go to Man U. As long as we can afford Costa then I see no problem with this transfer at all. Even if we have to sell squad players to make ends meet, DO IT. We have the best academy in the country, it's time to start grooming our own players.

What's with the Ricardo Rodriguez hype on this forum? People are even abbreviating his name now lol, from the 3/4 games I've watched since KDB signed for Wolfsburg he looks like the Spanish version of Leighton Baines (inflated stats due to him taking set-pieces) but even worse defensively. Shaw on the other hand is the closest thing to a Phillip Lahm/Ashley Cole type defender instead of another failed winger and a homegrown Chelsea fan.

We can't go another season with Azpi at LB. Hazard will be off to PSG/Madrid/Barca if that happens again. A player like Shaw would help bring the best out of Eden, Azpi at LB only hinders our best player.

We've definitely lost the plot if we sign Filipe Luis ahead of Shaw. Luis is great but he's 29 fucking years old and isn't even the best in his position. Typical short term thinking that will forever plague this club. Shaw, Costa, Tiago and a new CM to pair with Matic and call it a day. Really isn't that difficult.

Stop. They were lucky to even be in the finals. If Barcelona couldn't win back to back CL's. Madrid certainly won't.

Luiz is one of the most hated & underrated players in football. Complete opposite for Mata who's a media darling.

Oscar will be better than both players.

Thought no one would catch that lol. Exact same run up, placement and Neuer dived the wrong way too.

FUCK MY LIFE Potentially only Cahill left at the start of the season.

Matter of fact that performance against Bayern was incredible. He was like 30% fit that night too.

Will never forget his godly penalty after Mata missed the first

Apparently removed "Chelsea FC" from his twitter bio. Probably off too.

You have a point but I just can't celebrate transfer fees. I'd rather leave the excel sheets to Arsenal fans.

What makes you think so? If they bid £60m Hazard is gone. They can sell Cavani, Marquinhos and Pastore (£100m+) as funds for both Luiz and Eden.

So my three favourite players all sold or released in the same year. Lol at the Chelsea fans celebrating at the transfer fee as if we're getting a piece of the money. A trophyless season and celebrating transfer fees. We've become Arsenal overnight. Luiz will prove everyone wrong at PSG.

Yet these people see absolutely nothing wrong in it because Courtois is the Goldenboy right now. I personally can't stand passive-aggressive behaviour. Might as well said "either sell Cech this summer or I'm not staying" instead of beating around the bush.
