De Laurentiis couldn't take the call. He didn't have Skype. They'll have to call again tomorrow.

Was he specifically asked about Chelsea's interest ? Maybe the question was something else.

Ouch. Why sign Schurrle then? Isn't midfield a bigger priority?

Fernandinho fee was actually 40 million euros. http://shakhtar.com/en/news/27109

To counterattack you admit right from the start that your midfield is not good enough to hold possession. Barcelona lost for a number of reasons. On average a team that dominates possession will beat one that doesn't. This is why we are superior to the likes of Stoke etc and Barcelona are superior to us.

From DiMarzio : #Napoli President De Laurentis has spoken about the very real possibility of Edinson Cavani moving to Chelsea #CFC

To me personally counter attacking admits inferiority from the get go.

Don't be worried about his first touch. With our midfield he won't be getting many touches anyways.

How is Shanghai BluesChick ?

It'll be hilarious if we get De Rossi for £10m while City paid £22m for Fernandinho. Where do you guys rank De Rossi at his best vs other defensive midfielders ?

Hulk ? For 40m? I'm going to throw up. Overrated shit.

OP is fond of the bankruptcy days it seems.

Gomez is shit. There is a reason why so many Bayern fans are happy to be rid of him.

Suarez is better no ? Suarez makes something happen out of nothing almost every time I see him play. As for Cavani, seems like it's easier to score goals in Italy.

You're blind. Torres works hard plenty. He's in fact one of the hardest workers in the team. He's just shit though.

Why Enema-lo why ?

There is a serious gulf in talent between Ozil and Schurrle. Ozil is a world class player. I don't know how you can compare the two. Jose in my opinion has started with a swing and a miss with this transfer.

Nice pass to Drogba. So far he is quick and passes pretty well.

This whole saga just exposes what a colossal sham our youth program is. The more I think about it it's probably a front to funnel money somewhere else. We have a talented young player, a starter for his up an coming national team, attracting the attention of multiple elite European teams and we are looking to replace him with an average talent no one except us in interested in. What the fuck is happening here ? The fans should demand the club to show them what they are planning to do with the young talents they have. Is there an actual plan to integrate them into the team ? Is there even a willingness to do so ? Lukake, Courtois and now De Bruyne. Just by ourselves we might be able to destroy Belgium's national team. The more I think about all of this the more sick I get. Hopefully in the future the FA will step in and stop this scam system of a hundred youth loans.

These idiots are crazy. Two year loan deal for a player ? Wtf.

Won't ever get a chance, like all the others.

Hopefully the deal will fail. I don't really understand how on the one hand we are paying around 20m for Schurrle but on the other we're haggling so much for Cavani ?

City are spending big money on players that aren't really that amazing. Navas and Fernandinho are both overrated imo. They won't hesitate to spend the extra money for Cavani.

I hope he goes. Great player but bad character. Monaco will give us good money too.
