So our offer right now is € 30m plus €1 ?

Heard from a good source that this is completely false.

Enemalo since we've been linked so long.

That would be good. I'd like to play Mata right behind Hazard, new striker and Schurrle. Behind Mata I'd have Oscar + someone like Modric (preferred) or De Rossi(great as well). Oscar is very good defensively imo and you don't need a specialist DM just have everyone press like Dortmund does.

No, the problem is that we play Lampard, Mikel and Ramires together. You can only have one out of those three at a time in the midfield because they struggle to pass and to link the defense with the attack. It is really that simple. Mikel has been kept for only god knows why. Lampard has been earning the seniority and loyalty paycheck but still shouldn't be starting, let alone getting so many minutes. Ramires I like the most out of the three. All this is doing is taking a better player in Oscar out of his preferred position. It will be interesting to see what Mourinho does. Will he put an end to this mediocrity that we've had to suffer in midfield these last few years ?

Son-Heung Min is available cheaper. Only one year on his contract.

No team will want Torres at his wages.

What if we hear in a couple of days that the club is not interested in Cavani but is instead looking to sign Rooney for around 35 million pounds. What will your reaction be ?

Why aren't we in for him ? He's an amazing young talent available for a paltry fee ?

It'll be a bit funny if we all get excited and end up having Torres and Ba next season.

You mean Prius to Lamborghini Aventador.

How is his crossing ? For 20m pounds we could get Di Maria couldn't we ?

He starts for Germany ?

Agreed terms ? Lol and here we were all feeling pity for Dortmund just a couple of days ago. Dortmund obviously think they've got a golden opportunity to sign a really good prospect for cheap money.

My initial reaction to this :

Any news about a new stadium ? Things seem to have died down a bit on that front. I remember reading that they'll announce something over the summer but what can it really be ? Is it really a big deal for a club to move a little bit away from its original location ? It seems like our options close to Stamford Bridge keep dwindling down. I don't think a club like QPR for instance would really pose much of a threat to our attendances if we move close to them or would it ? Too bad we can't do a stadium sharing plan with another London team. Wembley is a bit far away (10 miles on google maps) or that would be a nice stadium to move to. One thing I've noticed is that in London planning councils have a lot of power. It seems if you want to build something you need to get the permission of a 100 different parties.

How awesome would it be if Cavani and Mourinho were both unveiled together ? That would be one amazing press conference.

Well at least he's very quick. You can't teach speed. Also he is ONLY 22 years old. So he is really yet to hit his full potential. With his speed, he can become a monster player maybe if he just improves. Go to the Bale transfer thread and you'll see that the opening post is about Bale "struggling" at Tottenham. Not saying he can become Bale or anything, but with his pace there is potential for a much better player than he is right now. I don't think we will spend 20m pounds. Must be less than that. Meanwhile KDB gets experience in the Champions League at Leverkusen. I don't really like this deal to be honest. Mostly because I think De Bruyne can start straight away in place of Lampard. But I can at the same time see the board's side to it. Nothing much we can all do really, except hope that Mourinho doesn't like loaning De Bruyne and wants to make him a part of the team (unlikely imo).

Funny thing is lots of Torres fanboys are in tears on twitter over this news.

Di Marzio and Tancredi are both one of the better sources.

Imagine if you're in an argument with him and you accidentally say "bite me".

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!

I don't really like this signing to be honest. De Bruyne is the better player of the two and he is going out on loan in this deal ? Hard to make any sense out of this shit.

As good as Bale is, don't want to be extorted by Tottenham. Fuck Levi and I hope he uses that Bale money on crap players like Defoe.
