It did, people were worried when the rumours grew stronger, one I can remember was Warnie. I know he wasnt very satisfied about it, but he came along and impressed.

When we make a thread about a player all we get is, he's brilliant a must get etc. Once it's been reported we have bidded and it's been accepted, it's all no it's too much, he won't fit our system, there's better options, he's overrated blah blah blah. This happened with Mata, people saying he's too slow and not ready, look what happened.

lmao 25 million for right back AND winger?, then surely you are hoping we spend it on average players.

Why do people act like its all official, you did it all with Hulk a month ago, talking like he's already a Chelsea player.

How is this official?

Lots of men need hair transplants at that age, I would get one if I needed one at his age and had the money.

But you don't know that, no one can base any knowledge on that factor in my opinion. Because you don't know what they've been told to do or what they're thinking and going to do next. As spectators we can only assume by power and aim of how good a penalty is.

Definitely, because it pisses me off when players don't think there good enough and play for Wales/Scotland when there younger, then turn out worldclass.

Don't worry, there's plenty more vampires to come back and suck our blood as we are letting good players go from our youth.

Fucking hell, so 33 million pounds on a centre back who is 27 years old. Ibrahimovic will cost just about as much or a bit less, and he's 30.

He's a natural goal scorer and he's 21 years of age, 6 goals in 9 games for Swansea right away. 9 goals in 24 for Roma, which is good for a youngster. And we didn't even keep him... i don't understand the logic. Okay we never knew he would go to Roma and play well, but we should've knew, because he clearly has talent. Hope this doesn't come back to bite us.

Then give him some time at least, he's still only young, doesn't mean he will be like that all the time. And let me tell you this, there's less big teams than any other teams. If he can kick the shit out of them, i'd definitely take him.

Yeah but liking a huge rival is just not right at all. However i used to support british clubs against foreign teams, not anymore though, just lost too much respect and learned a huge thing when we won the CL Final and no one congratulated us.

Did the president actually confirm a bid or is it just rumour?.

Good luck Didier

David Luiz such a great character. Entertaining defender, no surprised Barca wanted him, he fits there system perfectly. He would be great in a fluid squad because he can go upfront and cause damage.

It's alright to get a little offtopic, i doubt the convosation was going to last for much longer anyway.

Penalties are sort of like gambles, you can't be sure you will score one, but Mata's are just awful. He just taps them in but with poor aim. He just places them softly within the centre, left or right, he's missed three penalties for this club now, and scored one that was against QPR i think. So yeah he isn't the best of penalty takers. But if he scored them it would be a different story for most people, because people don't see the other side to penalties. Where obviously you are different and realistic about it. Say if Neuer saved Drogbas penalty, people would've said it was a very poor penalty, but they didn't because he scored it. But truth be told right now, it was a poor penalty, poor power and not the best of accuracy, had Neuer went left he would've saved it. And If Ashley Coles was saved that night, you couldn't say that was a poor penalty, but no one would've said it's a good one (when it was struck like a beast). Mata's penalties however are just plain bad.

If Torres doesn't pick himself up next season and not score enough goals. Just get rid of him, for the good of this club, he has done enough damage as it is, and there's no excuse because now he has good players around him, especially if we get Hulk.

But it's silly logic, because not all players make an impact internationally. I would take Lucas Moura any day, really good talent. So because he doesn't put any decent performances in interationally, doesn't determine the player for me. Because i've learned that International can be a completely different thing for some players. Look at Messi, yeah he got that hattrick against Brazil but he's no where near as good he is, when he's at Barcelona. Crouch was the opposite, great goal scorer for England, couldn't score in a club, but for England he scores great goals, okay against average teams. But can he do that in the league?, not really.

It was a joke...

Ferdinand can piss off, he's done nothing compared to John Terry, Terry has and will always be the better player and the better man. He can ignore people and play with huge pressure, Rio can't, he just makes stupid tweets. Oh and how was that drug test you skipped mate?. Still clearing that up are you?.

Because i am, who are you like?. It's stupid logic because he's basing it off International games, and he's only a youngster. So because someone does kick off internationally doesn't mean he's a bad player at all. Very stupid logic to go by because it's not accurate at all.

Lmao, there's an idea, shame i don't have the money. Neymar, Oscar, Hulk, Thiago Silva, Marcelo, Lucas Moura and Leandro Damiao are all playing at the Riverside... i don't know if i should orgasm or what.

Loan him out if he doesn't perform again then sell him.
