Looks good to be honest http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,11668_7082975,00.html

I swear to god if someone makes a video on youtube or photoshops a Lukaku picture to wear a Chelsea shirt...

I didn't know Walcott was a Liverpool fan (said so in the interview with Lukaku) What I really like is that he is a Chelsea fan, will surely give his all for the club, appreciates it perhaps more than some other non-fan player would. And if this year is the perfect summer to get him, we have to use it. We can't pass on him because at the moment we've got Drogba and Torres in CF positions. In year or two Drogba either retires or falls down the pecking order depending on his form. That's why we need to time it and look in the future, not so much in the present. Good move, please let it be true.

Modric thread mate

I completely understand your point but I still think there might be better and probably cheaper targets our there

Welcome to Chelsea

Pato's too injury prone, I'd take DD over Pato any day, every day

Playing with fire.. Anzhi isn't certainly playing top level football so they can probably get quite a few replacements for cheaper price if Chelsea ask too much. I'd take 13-15 and use those funds to take Modric.

Ultras take 3-1 lead against Fake Madrid, 2nd leg coming up. Really, really hard games in-coming: 1) Randalls 2) 2nd leg with Fake Madrid 3) Sloth

June: we need a playmaker, winger(s) and probably a right back July: nothing happens, lots and lots of speculation, pre-season tour, torres scores twice, Gourlay says we won't be "much more" active on the market anymore (as if we were at any point) August: we sell Zhirkov. Typical Chelsea transfer window, we need new players but we end up selling 3 youth players, signing 2 youth whilist loaning one of them out and selling a senior team player. Problem solved!.. o wait.

We can cope with not selling players (although some of the benchers are on outrageous wages) but we need some flair and creativity up front.

Surely not Kaka, rather take Modric for £40mil than Kaka for £25mil purely due to age and injuries. Kaka never really said he wanted to come to Chelsea or EPL whereas Modric has proven that he can play in EPL at the highest level.

4-0 away win against Real Elite. Unlucky draw in the cup - against Fake Madrid.. let's see

Missed the game, anyone got any footage of the goals?

That sounds exactly like our kind of a deal, work your magic Gourlay...careful though, Russian giants Anzhi Machachalka are after him aswell!

Why did we get rid of Ballack?

I think that it's not even the fact that we didn't sign Pastore that wears us down as fans. It's the fact that we KNOW that we wouldn't succeed with this currrent squad. We are desperate for midfield addition and winger(s). Unless something drastical happens to our players, we will struggling to finish FOURTH, because all of the other top tier clubs have recruited and improves ALOT. Deary me, hope we've got something up our sleeves. €43mil for Pastore, good luck PSG. In that sense I understand, rather splash on Modric - but the question is IF, IF we are going to buy anyone with the caliber of Modric. Depending on our on-off form players and comforting ourselves with the thought that our youngsters are ready for more responsibility is a slippery way. Please prove me wrong Chelsea

<br><br>Not just Agüero, also Clichy and Savic. Mancini said they want 2 more - I'm guessing Nasri and someone else. Barca bought Sanchez (God save us all now), RM bought Altintop, Sahin, Coentrao etc, United bought Young, Jones, De Gae, Liverpool bought Doni, Downing, Adams etc. Arsenal believed to sign Mata and Jagielka and we're still doing nothing in terms of IMPROVING the squad. I like the thought of giving Josh and Kakuta more playing time but please be realistic, they are NOT game changers yet. We'd go down the same old story for third season, moan and read about the articles of "Abramovic's plans to totally revamp the squad with his £100m warchests" and in the end we just fire a manager, get new one in, sit around, go on a pre-season, talk the right things but do absolutely nothing till we get our asses kicked in January, panic buy (thats a big maybe) or just wait till June to fire another manager. We need (and thats an understatement) changes in the squad, just bit more than 2 weeks to go till new season.

And one who'll have to replace Essien, who is injured for half a year again... we're back to nothing if you think about it in terms of additions to the squad.

Let's go conquer Europe!

O well that's that then. Hope we'll get Modric. Gourlay seems to be clueless when it comes to smart transfers, all he can get done is panic buys with huge offers

Keep the PSG board URL bookmarked for: 1) If Pastore does sign for them then that show they have good sources OR 2) If Pastore signs for Chelsea - troll the **** out of them

Qatari based organization bought PSG, they've got loads of cash. We, too, have loads of cash but we'll spend it wisely. And before anyone brings out Torres or Sheva then Torres will prove himself this season and Sheva - every club (even medicore clubs like psg is) have done errors in the transfer market.

The french fellows are easy advertising pray, as if they WANT to believe stuff. One thing is for sure, NOONE knows the outcome, he hasn't signed for anyone. Time will tell but till then either speak English or off you go back to psg boards.

http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/American-Pre-season-tour/2011/Squad-for-Dublin-Super-Cup They named their squad for the Dublin friendly cup and it writes: "Strikers: Mario Balotelli, Edin Dzeko, John Guidetti, Andrea Mancini, plus one other." , that plus one other is Sergio Agüero.. done deal.
