So if he had his own preference of where he wanted to go and he wanted to go to Bayern, I'm finding it difficult as to how any blame can be placed on our doorstep.....

Where was it written that we had officially put a bid in for him?

While I agree with you in regards to the it's only June aspect, surely you can see it from the side that bar the Cesc/Costa window a few seasons ago, we've been ridiculously poor when it comes to getting targets. I truly believe that paying large fees like we did for Torres/Sheva and for them to underachieve has scarred us fans and the club in the transfer market. You see it all the time that x player is touted at £60-70m and immediately that player is deemed too expensive/not worth it and we should be looking to getting someone else for cheaper, even if that said player would be a good acquisition for the club and strengthen us as a whole. What us fans and the club have to accept is that the transfer market has changed now and these fees are the norm. If we are going to push on as a club then we have to just pay these types of fees quoted or risk a repeat of the 15/16 season.

Just going through the various threads and I'm just wondering if anyone is actually good enough to play for our club? You get reports in that we might be interested in a player (Bakayoko for example) and immediately there are people highlighting 2 or 3 others that would be better. You then go into one of those players threads and then there are players suggested in there that are better than that one... At this rate we'll just end up buying no-one and starting with the same team again....

Looks like he's off to Utd....

Haha, they were clearly on the verge of getting done for tapping up.

It was a blatant handball, we can all agree on that. But let's be honest-that was a pathetic 1st half performance.

Anyone seen Hazard? He was last seen sneaking out of the Emirates with another 200k stolen from our club. Bloke is a myth.

I've come to the conclusion that I hate these players. Not the club, I'll always love the club. But the these players are a cancer that has eroded everything that was built over the previous decade. They don't care about this club. There's no passion, no fight, no backbone. No nothing. All of them are stealing a living at present. Shameful.

Definitely missed a trick with this one I think-really would have given that right hand side a well needed boost and taken the pressure off of Hazard.

That's an old picture.

You have to laugh.

Not happening. Just a story generated by Sky and the Mail to drum up interest for Transfer Deadline Day.

I was happy with him coming back if the deal was costing £32m, but nearing 40?! PSG pulling our pants down here....

Proper scraping the barrel here with this one.

Poor James-kicked to the rumour kerb by David Luiz. Lol
