Lol. There is no way Luiz is going to go for £50m. It'll be £35m max.

It'd be so different here because he's next to Matic who is far more conservative than Song, plus Mourinho isn't as reckless as Wenger when it comes to midfield selection either.

Why would he 'love' a club he hasn't even once appeared for... That article is stating the same BBC article that many have gone over on here, but has put a slightly sinister twist on it, not quoting it fully - but because you so badly want to believe that Courtois has been badmouthing Cech and the club you'll still completely overlook what the context of the actual BBC article is like, by posting up rubbish from a "ning.com" website to back your false thoughts... It's sad really.

In his last few years at Arsenal it used to be just him and Song at the base of their midfield (I think), who's way more cavalier than Matic, in midfield for Arsenal so I don't think that should be a problem at all. He's a very complete midfielder and isn't bad at defending.

I still don't understand why you're so demonising against Eto'o yet let Torres who's had an even worse year (by far) off so many times... Just don't get the logic.

He's a cunt of the highest order but my oh my an on form Cesc Fabregas is a baller and a half. He was so good at Arsenal and Barcelona have completely misused him. He'd fit very nicely next to Matic in midfield.

No.

Prices of around £20m being banded about. Would be a really good signing.

England win.

Quality read that. Crazy how he turned down a scholarship from Havard University to play football though.

He's a lot more than just a poacher, but yeah the boy can finish.

You're so hypocritical. You always have a go at people who say anything negative about Torres but when it comes to other players you seem to think it's okay to do exactly that?

Decent player but Moses is better.

Sky Sports to the rescue. Samuel Eto'o takes another dig at Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho

We are well under the FFP limit, if we really, really wanted to we could afford Shaw, especially with some departures of fringe players.

So because of that you'll completely dismiss the article because it's not what you want to read? Interesting. Weren't you also one of the chief pioneers that suggested that Fellaini would be a great signing back then? Look how he's panned out at United as a real DM... Doesn't mean that you're wrong about everything as well. Anyway, very interesting and very well written that article, challenges your views on Luiz as a CB. Very interesting read.

Nope, it's like playing Lampard at number 10. Ineffective. Doesn't play to his strength which is that natural run in from deep at the right moment.

Nah, Ramsey is a CM, he's completely wasted in the front three. I've watched Ramsey since his Cardiff days so I can fully assure that to you. Signing Fabregas would mean that either Wilshere or Ramsey get sold, they already have trouble fitting both in the team, and I doubt Arsenal (specifically Arsene who loves both) would be willing to do that.

Actually Ash when he came here was known for his ability going forward - not just defending. He isn't just a defend-first fullback, he's very complete. Folios Luis is way too old as well, think he's turning 30 this year, plus he isn't even a "defend-first" left back, so it's far better that we either go for someone like Ricardo Rodriguez, who's just as good as Filipe Luis going forward, and defensively but has far bigger scope to improve (especially if Shaw isn't attainable at a reasonable price).

A Fabregas transfer would be highly unlikely but it's not because Arsenal would stop us from doing so lol. They don't even need him to begin with - stacked in that position with Wilshere and Ramsey.

PVA might be kept because of HG status. If we aren't resigning Ashley and we sign a player like Shaw or RR we'd be okay with PVA and either going forward, especially with Azpi also being able to man that position.

Atleast we won't hear anything from his agent anytime soon...
