David Luiz pulls out of Chelsea training to force through Arsenal transfer move https://metro.co.uk/2019/08/07/david-luiz-pulls-chelsea-training-force-arsenal-transfer-move-10534792/ Why David Luiz is unhappy at Chelsea and is considering Arsenal transfer https://metro.co.uk/2019/08/07/david-luiz-unhappy-chelsea-considering-arsenal-transfer-10535589/ David Luiz trained away from the rest of Chelsea’s first team squad on Wednesday and is considering his future amid interest from Arsenal. Unai Emery is desperate to add a centre-half to his squad having seen club captain Laurent Koscielny spurn the offer of an olive branch and complete a move to Bordeaux. New signing William Saliba will spend the upcoming season back on loan at Saint-Etienne, Shkodran Mustafi has endured a difficult pre-season during which he was booed by his own supporters against Lyon, while Rob Holding has only just returned to full training following a cruciate knee ligament injury. Arsenal have been priced out of moves for Daniele Rugani of Juventus and RB Leipzig’s Dayot Upamecano, but are likely to make a late attempt to prise Luiz from Chelsea in what remains of the summer window.

they are desperate make it £30m same as PSG offered last summer

add Azpi and Reece as potential CB's and it looks a wee bit better

I was raging for weeks when we went all sloppy seconds with him from PSG so many other younger, better options were out there at the time (and still are, but..... ban)

TBH, whilst not at the true cunt level of Duncan Castles (lawwwwd a mercy I hate that Manc pronger-sucking bastard), Levene is a classic passive-aggressive shit-stirrer

hard not to drift a wee bit with a huge t-ban and players like Luiz getting 2 year extensions that smash up our no-multiyear-contracts-for-30-somethings policy I still say overall we are on the right path, BUT, dammit, we better go HUGE next summer too many holes to plug potentially to not do so my fervent hope is that our CB's somehow gel, and our CF's surprise young and old Blues alike IF those two things happen, and the next day and a half goes badly for Manure, Spuds, Arse, Everton (have to add them in now) and Wolves, then I feel we have a 50/50 shot at top 4 lots of ifs, but I have hope above all else (in terms of this year) I wish Roman could get his visa shite sorted and he comes back with a vengeance and renewed drive to keep the project (including a new stadium) going

I was at that game, East Stand, upper tier (superb views!) with my father as an 11 year old baby blue brat, lolol, I wanted to walk down and try and talk to players coming out of the tunnel but my father wouldn't let me that same fixture (at SB v spuds) almost exactly a year later (2004) was the one where we got attacked by fucking Yid Army scum after the game on Fulham Rd

only if they sort that CB nightmare (sounds familiar, lolol, looking at you Arse) but yes, IF they land a decent CB and Zaha and if Kean and Gbamin show up to leel they can I agree their wingers (Zaha and Richarlison) blow us away atm IF they land Zaha (I say they fail) MF and fullbacks are now rock solid and Kean has crazy potential (no guarantees though, as the EPL is the death of many potentially great strikers)

shocked Everton have not put a bid in, lolol they are bidding on anything that moves atm

BAY BYE Leroy Sane ‘tells Man City team-mates he wants to quit and join Bayern Munich before transfer deadline’ https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9665875/leroy-sane-bayern-munich-man-city-transfer-latest/ it is The Sun so caveat emptor

if they want top 4, they need more a CB for sure, it is a an absolute must but now (atm) here is their starting XI GK Pickford CB Michael Keane CB Yerry Mina or Mason Holgate (they only have 3 CB's at remotely starting level, Pennington is dross) <<<< desperately need upgrade here LB Lucas Digne RB Djibril Sidibe DMF Jean-Philippe Gbamin CMF André Gomes (lots of depth, and potentially Abdoulaye Doucouré) AMF Gylfi Sigurdsson LW Richarlison RW (who knows, as I type they have bids, including 2nd and even third for Zaha, Iwobi, and rumours of Suso, Ziyech, Hirving Lozano (please no) and Ismaïla Sarr) CF Moises Kean if they sort the other winger and especially CB, they are really a dangerous team

I have seen all sorts of figures quoted for Dybala £350K per week seems more in line with Manure saying 'outrageous salary demands' so that may well be right and I see now where the £190K per week came from he wants that that AFTER tax, so in line with 350K gross

Everton gone wild, lololol Djibril Sidibe undergoing Everton medical today - who else could join him? https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/796613/Djibril-Sidibe-Wilfried-Zaha-Abdoulaye-Doucoure-Everton-transfers Starsport understands that the loan deal with an option to buy is all-but done, with just the formalities left to complete. Boss Marco Silva is keen to bolster his defence with Sidibe coming in as competition for Seamus Coleman at right back following Jonjoe Kenny’s loan move to Schalke. However, it’s frustration for the Toffees as Crystal Palace and Watford attempt to pull the shutters down with less than 48 hours to go until the transfer window closes. snip

You, UJ, myself and only a couple of others have been on the stadium shit from day one. It is a huge issue for us going forward.

Dybala was asking for £190K per week from Manure.

Jude Bellingham looks a baller, not joking (born 29 June 2003, lolol) already a bit physical, great instincts, huge pace, nice shot
