Dog help us all if Shitty get Neves. I would take him in a heartbeat over Jorginho. Insane passing and a bomber of a shooter from distance, plus much more physical Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leicester City – Highlights http://yfl.matchat.online/player/html/grenJGrG6U?popup=yes&autoplay=1 superb game btw, one of the top 5 or so in EPL this year

Agreed, and/or try RLC and/or even Barkley (would rather try him at RW) there. Surely worth a shot on all 3.

Chelsea 'meet with Barcelona youngster Ilaix Moriba' By Matt Law, European Football Editor https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/chelsea/transfer-talk/news/chelsea-meet-with-barcelona-youngster_347473.html Chelsea have reportedly met with the agent of Barcelona youngster Ilaix Moribaas the English club look to seal the 16-year-old's signature ahead of Premier League rivals Manchester City. Ilaix, who has been compared to Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, has been training with Barcelona's Under-19 team during the 2018-19 campaign. Man City were believed to be the favourites for the teenager, but according to Sport, Chelsea have met with Ilaix's agent in recent days and have made a better financial offer than their Premier League rivals. However, the same report has claimed that there is also an offer on the table from Juventus. Ilaix, who only turned 16 on Saturday, is expected to make a decision on his future at the start of this week. snip I like this! I am feeling old now, lol he is 11 years younger than me.

Chelsea's January transfer plans - What Sarri said, who the fans want and what will happen The Blues are trying to get some deals over the line https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/transfer-news/chelsea-january-transfers-icardi-higuain-15710298

USMNT: Cynic in me hates Christian Pulisic Chelsea move https://mlsmultiplex.com/2019/01/21/usmnt-cynic-hates-christian-pulisic-chelsea-move/ Christian Pulisic transferred to Chelsea this January and will join up with them in the summer. The cynic in me hates this move for the USMNT star’s career. Manchester United did not sign Park Ji-Sung for purely footballing reasons. Shinji Kagawa was also not at Old Trafford solely because of what he could deliver between the white lines. The same could be said for Park Chu-Young at Arsenal. While all these players offered varying degrees of utility to their respective teams and eras, their signings were not exclusively based on their ability. The modern football world is as much a business one as it is a sporting one, and these acquisitions had as much to do about business as they did football. Man. Utd are subsequently the most popular team in East Asia, Korea and Japan specifically. Arsenal, similarly, are well-liked among African communities, with the likes of Kanu, Patrick Vieira, Alex Song and now Alex Iwobi, Mohamed Elneny and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang all heralding from Africa. Not all transfers are made with a business angle. And I believe that very few are solely because of the commercial boost their arrival brings. The player must be of a minimum standard, no matter the size of the market he may allow his prospective club to tap into. But it would be naive to think that all decisions in football are not tainted by business somewhat. And clubs’ work in the transfer market is no difference. This January, Chelsea signed U.S. Men’s National Team star Christian Pulisicfrom Borussia Dortmund in a $73.1 million deal. Much has been made of the deal, which was announced almost three weeks ago and includes a six-month loan back to Dortmund for the remainder of the year, but it is clear that for Pulisic this is a chance to further his career and shine on the biggest stage in world football, the Premier League. For the USMNT, that is no bad thing. snip

Zero chance we should dump £100m on him. Barca got ROBBED by Victimpool, lolol. £145m!!!

Loan him to a Championship side. If he plays well sell him to them. If he doesn't, sell him back to an MLS team.

Marina will just shrug her shoulders and say, 'невезение.'

Oh yes. Absolutely Real is the 'biggest' club in the world. No one else is close.

When Eden is a false nine, he looks to his left and sees Willian. Looks to his right and sees Pedro or RLC. Looks to bench and sees a Bayern-bound CHO and/or Moses. Then he looks to make sure he hasn't lost the Real Madrid board's telly number.

May see Jupp Heynckes 3.0 if Niko Kovač doesn get his shit together.

The crazy career of Kevin-Prince Boateng: 2004–2000 - Hertha BSC II 2005–2007 - Hertha BSC 2007–2009 - Tottenham Hotspur 2009 - Borussia Dortmund (loan) 2009–2010 - Portsmouth 2010–2013 - AC Milan 2013–2015 - Schalke 04 2016 - AC Milan 2016–2017 - Las Palmas 2017–2018 - Eintracht Frankfurt 2018–2019 - Sassuolo 2019 - Barcelona

This player is 24 in a month. He isn't going to explode as a talent.

3rd richest. Shitty and PSG could blow them (and all others) away if there were no FFP.

Sarri will never bench Willian, who has had one goal, one assist in our last 13 league games. That's 3 and 3 for a full league season. He will ride him down into the pits of 6th placedom. We need to remove him as an option by selling him. If we go into next season (after the August close of summer window) with no Eden, no CHO ,and a starting front 3 of LW Willian RW Pedro/Pulisic CF Higuain We are fucked for the year. May struggle to finish 7th if 2 of the middling teams have mini versions of a Leicester-type season. Imagine too, if this 2 year transfer ban hits starting in January 2020. Bye-bye Chelsea in terms of European football if we don't REALLY do mad business this summer.

no tiene sangre en las venas

Except Fekir is not a winger, he has played there twice in last two years. Coutinho is more likely a winger. He has played LW a lot this year for Barca. I cannot see the board tossing out the £170m or more it would take to grab both anyway, especially as striker, a REAL one (unless it is Jovic, who is the most affordable great option by far) will be close to, or more than £100m (Icardi or Dybala or Werner). We will be extraordinarily lucky if we can prise out £100m for Hazard this summer. More than likely we end up getting only around £75m or so from Real (they officially have said £50m, so I am splitting the difference). Thanks board!!

Chelsea boss told to drop star and stop ‘wasting’ talent in squad https://www.lovesportradio.com/news/love-sport-exclusives/chelsea-boss-told-to-drop-star-and-stop-wasting-talent-in-squad/ Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri must drop Jorginho to rectify their struggles in the biggest games, according to one former Blue. Chelsea were beaten 2-0 by Arsenal on Saturday with the lack of defensive cover offered by Jorginho pinpointed as one of the key downfalls of Sarri’s side. However, the former Napoli boss has always insisted that N’Golo Kante lacks the requisite technical quality to play the holding midfield role in his team. But former defender David Lee reckons with Jorginho struggling for form, it’s time for Sarri to consider a change. “He is a brilliant holding midfield player who breaks play up and can get up forward,” Lee told Ian Stone’s Comedy Breakfast (weekdays 6.30am-10.30am). “I think may be he should play him in there. Don’t waste him by playing him on the right. snip

I still am partial to the 2004-5 first Mo team. But, yes, loved that 2009-10 squad. Great football.

AC Milan to complete Piatek signing in next 24 hours https://sempremilan.com/sm-ac-milan-to-complete-piatek-signing-in-next-24-hours

Me too, buts its far too late in the game now, so we are stuck with him till summer. Hopefully he comes good. All the best options were never going to happen in January except Piątek, and he was only my 5th choice, after Icardi, Dybala, Werner, and Jovic, none of which could have happened now.

I accept Hazard always, and hope to fuck he stays, but I doubt it.

He also has the 3rd highest win percentage (less than 1% point behind Mourinho, and of course behind Fergie) in EPL history. Had Mo stayed at Manure, Carlo would have passed him up, I am absolutely positive. I so so hope we don't draw Napoli in the EL until perhaps the final.

Somehow I stumbled into thsi is Eden world class or not argument. ALL I was saying was a very narrow point, in that Ronaldinho had better teammates at Barca than Eden has had at Chelsea. I made no comment as to whether Eden is world class or not and if that (the teammates thing) had anything to do with it. Let me now address THOSE things 1 Yes, Eden is world class, easily so. 2 No, although Ronaldinho had better teammates, that (not having as good as teammates) is not an excuse for anyone to say it had an effect on Eden's being world class. 3 Peak Ronaldinho was better than peak Hazard, irregardless of teammates Hope this clears it all up to where I stand.
