Found a (very) shitty cyber cafe in this remote corner of the country I've been dispatched to, so decided on a whim to log on after work, half-expecting us to have signed some mediocre player a la Benayoun and I stumble upon the most refreshing decision we've made at this club in quite a while. Delighted! Haven't read through any threads(but I imagine eldo is a very happy bird at this moment in time ), just wanted to get a post in in this one. Two things : A real future-oriented decision. This man could grow old at Chelsea.I think this heralds the end of the way we've known to play so far since Jose, and with it, the beginning of the end of that Terry-Lampard-Drogba spine. Skimmed over the official interview transcripts on the official site and I like what I read. Uncluttered, to-the-point, humble and impressive. I see we paid the 15m release clause, but not too bothered about it atm. Can't wait to get back home in a couple of weeks' time and go over all the frenzy before and after his arrival. Hopefully we'd have signed a playmaker and two wingers by then. Oh, and any news on Guus and that DoF thingy? Pre-season can't begin soon enough. I'm pumped! Are you pumped? I'm pumped! Are you pumped? (P.S Alex, the article on the new managerial appointment will be delivered as promised once I get back )

Page 300 of this thread : Tabloids - "Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is prepared to land his top target Brazilian sensation Neymar by making a bid of £75 million to head off interest from Real, Barcelona and Man City." Neymar - "I dream of Europe. But I dream of playing in Santos." Santos - "Neymar's release clause is £100 million and any club will have to activate it to get him." Neymar agent - "Only God will decide Neymar's future." TC users - "Fuck this shit." Henrique - "Neymar won't move until 2014 WC." zolayes - "Henriques is always right." Henrique - "Stop bitching!" :chelsea2:

Gonna be away for 2 weeks. Work, not holiday Be typical if we sign the likes of Neymar, Sneijder and De Bruyne while I'm away. Au revoir!

Shit source. Villa is probably after a new deal, now that his future is under threat due to Barcelona's interest in Nilmar. Nothing beats 'linking' yourself to Chelsea and Citeh if you're looking for a new contract.

I noticed how Gourlay said the new 'coach', not 'manager', will be in place in 2 weeks.

So ... £6 million to Carlo, £4 million to Turkey. £10 million spent already, and we haven't even gotten any players yet!

A loan here is a precursor to an exit. Let's see.

V for Vedran.

UFFP puts curbs on wages, not transfer prices. Transfer fees are amortised over the length of the contract anyway.

Happy b-day.

Two wingers and a CAM; that's what I hope for anyway.

LOL, stealing goldenboy Wilshire's thunder already

He couldn't dream of being better than Busquets one day, mate.

No, but like we saw this season, u-21 players can be registered as squad players.

All our academy guys qualify for HG ...

Turnbull is by far and away our worst GK since Ambrosio, again, imo. I'm not exactly thrilled with the new deal either mind, maybe we're just preparing to sell Turnbull, send Delac on loan again and promote one of the academy guys to 3rd choice and hence opted for his experience for 1 more year.

He's better than made out to be, IMO. Of course not Chelsea quality but then not a whole lot of the outfield players are either.

lmao what a character

How is he a ''great'' RB? That word is used so lightly I tell you. Billy Clifford, btw.

It's not as simple as fatigue solely.

wtf why was this bumped?

Err what? Better than Busquets? No chance. Busquets maybe a theatrical twat, but he's the best DM in the world atm. Agree with lionsden, Everton will do very well indeed if they manage to dupe someone of more than 10m for this guy. The Guardian seems to think the two Manc clubs are the frontrunners.

Meh ... He's hardly gonna play anyway.

Happy b-day "dude"! (Your favourite word )
