Laporta is promising Pogba and Bartomeu responds with Turan ? Won't be surprised if the first wins easily, as he wants to highlight unicef rather than qatar again and various stuff..

Well I wasn't active here 2 or 3 years ago, so..

Reports - Manchester United ready £28m bid for Atletico Madrid star http://talksport.com/football/reports-manchester-united-ready-ps28m-bid-atletico-madrid-star-150625152167 But Arda prefers Chelsea according to AS : http://futbol.as.com/futbol/2015/06/25/primera/1435193955_718312.html BTW, Ahmet Bulut, Arda's agent, is Jorge Mendes' ( who else ? ) partner.

Exactly, if there's one team that plays like us it's definitely Atleti. But then again, the 3 in front are interchangeable, Turan would find himself in a 10 position way more than you would think, as it is the case for Oscar and Willian atm. ( and surely Eden ). And for Oscar, I think they aren't that similar, Arda is better on 1 on 1 and has got better technique, ( believe me again, he's got decent pace ), but Oscar shoots better and is a bit more suited for the 10 role.

Slow ? I don't think we're talking about the same player. He isn't slow at all, just uses technique rather than speed. He can't possibly play as a number 10, we have Oscar Hazard and Willian for that. And believe me, i've been watching a lot of Atletico games in the last 2 years, his spot is on the right, and he's really comfortable there. But then again, the three AMs are interchangeable, so it wouldn't be an issue in itself. We just got the greatest winger for our system here, i don't even know why i didn't think of him earlier.

We won't get him at 40M, that's just his release clause and his agent announced his intention to leave, so I guess the negotiations would be around 30M. But seriously, he is an upgrade over Willian, I love the brazilian and wants him on the starting XI, but he needs to play as a more free AM. Turan can do what Willian does now, which is pressing, covering and be a threat on the wings, way better, simply because he's proven on the right. Willian would play as a number 10 or 11 depending on the switch with Eden, which would be just perfect for all three. That of course depends on the form of Oscar, who on a good day is as important for us as anybody right.

He is perfectly made for our RW, great skill and good defensive work rate.

So no Arda topic in this section ? His agent announced that he wants to leave Atletico, and wants to play particularly in the PL. http://futbol.as.com/futbol/2015/06/24/primera/1435105035_879932.html?id_externo_rsoc=CM Chances are we are surely among the 3 premier league clubs interested. What a signing it could be !

150TH anniversary, what a kit to pull off for the occasion.

That's what I thought, but then, the kids are playing in the Chelsea Foundation, why wouldn't they provide them with the original kits from last season ? ( As it is the case in the academy )..

Kids wearing our new kit maybe ?? Wouldn't surprise me as Adidas is making a few shirts without the 3 lines on the top, example, Russia. I know I'm clutching at straws but anyway

20m£ + Filipe & Salah. Done.

Even more : "What I did in Villarreal was bigger than winning titles. I did what anybody had done before... and maybe anybody will do again. In Malaga the same. Then at Real Madrid I did the best season so far, but without titles". What a f*ckin clown.

Remember when we had teasers ? What the hell happened since ? Don't we sell enough anymore for Adidas as a brand ?

This is Swansea's new signing, Nordfeldt, and this is certainly Swansea's GK kit for 2015 2016. Which is the same one that Cech wore for his last game with us, so I guess I was wrong, they did in fact let it slip ( intentionally ? ). Or they just figured that most ppl don't give a shit about the GK kit and said hey Petr, let's make you feel part of 2016 Chelsea Those kits are weird btw, I don't know what to think, like the fact that it's simple, but the line in the middle is a bit awkward and makes the kit disproportionate.

Jose's almost fuming there. I fear this is the return of the bad days under José, where the power balance was the big issue. If things turn out bad, There might be problems between Roman and JM. But anyway.

He's going on holiday.

I had thought the Crouch comparison wasn't anything serious, until I saw his name pop out again 2 or 3 pages later. This is definitely the Moaning Thread II.

Definitely coming back here with my pop corn if Falcao bags a brace tonight against the tournament favourites.

Rémy on the right is completely useless, I thought we came to establish that.

Anybody else noticed that singing KTBFFH every 2 weeks at Wembley would sound pretty accurate ?

What's the point of playing at Wembley, we already play like we're at home there

Imagine, just imagine, José gives hum a full pre season after Copa America, proper rest and preparation with our medical staff, he starts at the Bridge on October against United and bags a hattrick. This is the essence of football : dreaming big. In fact, we dreamt so big with Torres that the bus was gone when we woke up. Yea the bus...

Don't hate on Fulham, arent they the guys we hate less in London ?
