Hope the new coach will keep him as their primary keeper ahead of Asenjo.

Not that I'm trying to make excuses, but he did have to deal with that pre-season tour which didn't give him the best indication of the squad's state. I only hope he'll be given the opportunity in the next 2 windows to correct the flaws in this team. He must remember, we have an oligarch funding this team. Take advantage.

Barcelona said themselves, when they reported the deal, that they had inserted a buy-back clause. And to be honest, even if they didn't, he's a Barca boy. I don't know any ex-Barca players who haven't wanted to go back. Why wouldn't you? It's the best club in the world right now. All we can do is hope they're not as big of a force in 2013 so that he'll consider this the place to stay. It's a loyalty we can't really attack, because we'd expect the same from Josh for example. All this really is, is a loan deal. A loan deal where we'll make a profit regardless.

Sad reality indeed.

Latest reports say he's going to Bolton now, as part of the Cahill deal.

He's not worth £10million though! Wenger had it right when he bid £6million when Bolton had the nerve to ask for £20million in the summer. £20million!! No top club was stupid enough to think that's a good offer. We hold all the cards when it comes to making the deal for Cahill, we should've gone for £6m too and if they didn't want in.. I'd be glad for Tottenham to take him. I'm not saying he's a bad player, he could surprise us all. But economically, this is a shoddy deal. ESPECIALLY because they get Josh on loan!

Lmao! I maintain some hope he'll impress us, though it's a slim thread of hope I hold on to

Think of the shirt sales

Perhaps. But you could also argue that next season Terry's playing time will be considerably reduced. This means Cahill & Luiz will form a relationship but any manager will know that there must be competition in these places. So if we recall Bruma, Kalas or resign Rajkovic, they'll all have a direct chance to get game time ahead of Terry. Bruma's failed to make an impression on most managers though, it must be said. It remains to be proven if he's even up to the task, but I believe Andre will use a youth player to directly compete with Cahill for Terry's place next season.

Oh don't give me that! That's based on their opinion. To suggest a 26-year old with 6months left on his contract is worth £10million is unbelievable. What a stupid website that is

I still think Cahill could be cheaper if we negotiated properly But yes, Chalobah is still very young and he's still developing. As good as Fergie is, even he wouldn't take such an enormous gamble on someone so young. Chlaobah is still growing in the academy and with England too. His time is approaching, but it's not now. We don't want to make another Josh out of him, where we recognise his quality and demand he plays in more games than he should Hutchinson has only just begun his come back. Like we heard when Chelsea announced it, he's stepping up his training in January, which means he's still not match fit yet. We have a good crop of young defenders. From Sam to Kalas. But we can just throw them in the deep-end considering the pressure we play under this season. Give them time and patience.

Could be a lot cheaper.

I don't agree. Cahill's 26 & Terry's not getting any younger, Bruma still has a future here.

Ugh. We're one of those clubs..

Can't blame the guy, I suppose.

No way. Can't stand the guy!

Because PSG's offered him a wage bill that we, probably, can't afford to hand out on such a player. Not to mention what they'll offer AC Milan which will probably be somewhere near £50milion, which he's definitely not proven to be worth. I think PSG is a good move for him to be honest. He likes Carlo.

As BlueLion said, glad he didn't go to any English side as we feared. Good luck Carlo

I'd say Torres deserves a run out. Put in a good (in this case we use 'good' as 'better than the shit we're used to') performance in the last game.

I'd be amazed if he does play anything longer than 10minutes. Amazed and proud.

Lmao.

Come off it John. I remember a substantial wage-increase to keep him here.. Glad he did though, don't get me wrong.

Basically he's saying.. He doesn't really care where he plays. Which people could interpret as "Chelsea would be a good step up, but I won't force it because Napoli ain't too bad either"

This story's source is TribalNews. Calm done buddy..

True, but he's only started 5 games this season. Not the right time to buy him, especially in the state we're in.
