by "quiet" he dint mean a spurs like window!!! any and every chelsea fan knew what we needed - a ST, a DLP and a LB. 15 days into the windiw and we have got all 3 of those. selling luiz, ba while letting go off etoo, cole, lamps was obvious. now we will be selling a lot of deadwood in mikel, kakuta, marin, ryan, pva and maybe even moses. these players are hardly first team players and no where in jose's plans. this is the bare minimum that would be expected off us. an "unquiet" or a hustle bustle window will be like RM's where after winning a cop del ray and CL, they are selling off their best player last season (maria), a WC winner in khedira and buying players that hardly fit their system, kroos.

debuchy confirmed to arsenal. 12 mil.

Don't see any of the reliable ones informing this!!!

???Bayern play 4-1-4-1 changing into a 4-3-3... they have enough players to fill those 3 CM/DM spots. Or where do u think lahm, bastian, martinez, rode, thiago are going to play??? This is without counting muller and gotze who won't be playing false 9 as lewa is their. I mean wherr exactly does alaba even fit in? Just cos they sold kroos, means alaba will play DM deapite having world class and abundance of options.

seems like he has impressed jose enough to give him a new lifeline. cant see him having much playtime here so expect a loan spell. lets see

actually kroos sale means lahm will be a complete DM now. moreover pep bought bernat which makes it 4 fullbacks sans lahm (alaba, bernat, contento and rafinha). moreover bayern still have bastian, martinez, lahm, thiago, rode to play in that position. no way does alaba play DM.

bertrand, pva, kakuta!!!

is he injured? why was not he in the squad?

most tabloids are saying 20mil. any links to 15mil.

yup. specially that one moment when the opposition striker pressed him and he tried a lobbed pass to iva which conceded possession in our own half or rather the last third!

dude, what are u going on about? in 2010-11, these are the playtime stats alonso : La Liga 34 - 6 12 - - 2.665' Champions League 11 - - 3 1 - 963' Copa del Rey 7 1 - 3 - - 616' total: 2011: 52 1 6 18 1 - 4.244' khedira : La Liga 25 - 1 7 - - 1.833' Champions League 8 - 1 - - - 667' Copa del Rey 7 - 1 1 - - 573' total: 2011: 40 - 3 8 - - 3.073' diarra : La Liga 26 - 1 11 - - 1.730' Champions League 9 - 1 2 - - 491' Copa del Rey 3 - 1 1 - -146' total: 2011: 38 - 3 14 - - 2.367' granero played a total of 1359 minutes while gago played 210 minutes. so khedira was the DM who started the most alongside alonso. in 2011-12: alonso played - 4694 minutes khedira played - 3073 minutes diarra played - 1692 minutes granero played - 1069 minutes sahin played - 656 minutes in 2012-13: alonso - 3979 minutes khedira - 3412 minutes modric - 3330 minutes still more minutes than modric on the pitch and whatmore, after alonso, ramos, CR and ozil, khedira was the player with the most playtime. (pepe was almost equal at 3415 minutes). so how exactly are u saying that khedira was not a regular starter at RM under jose?

nat and piazon were hopeless. piazon seems to be a kdb. big fish in a small pond kinda player. ake was my motm in the first half. looks so complete. bamford, mvg, romeu were very good too. boga took the cakes, baker and the bakery in the 2nd half despite 2 very good goals from brown.

so today i have read that mikel does black magic for play time.

they barely threatened us. but dealt with everything very well. not the game to judge though.

what a shot!!!! brilliant!!!

Kalou,dd, anelka, sturridge and now ba. 5 strikers who have gone since Torres.

Bamford!!!

ooohhhh makes sense.

Pre season is about fitness. Salah was not our regular starter and has not played football for 2.months. its important for such players to get as much playing time as possible specially since his playing time at the start of the season won't be much.

We have got the NECESSARY signings. We can go into the season with the players available to us right now. As for a marquee signing it would depend on which player we sell to make space for the marquee signing. If we buy tiago, don't see us buying Vidal/pogba unless selling Rambo.

Why is beeney the 2nd gk and not blackman. Salah's exclusion is another worry.

5mil is very very low. Should have been double that. Also, its just one rumor. Settle down

ob swift!!!
