Indeed. Wouldn't stunt RLC's growth either like someone like Pogba would. Yaya wouldn't be a 50-60 match player.

Maybe.Yaya, motivated by a fresh move and under a manager who actually has a clue, would be top class. They'd practically be handing us next season's title.

Even if it's true that we wanted him (which I highly doubt) there's no chance they'd sell him to us. Even if they were desperate to get rid of him and he was desperate to leave they wouldn't strengthen us like that. Even if it were just for a single season we'd probably be unstoppable with a motivated Yaya. City wouldn't allow him to join us.

Any chance we'd consider doing a Matic? Would be so embarrassing if he ends up at United or City and continues this form. He said himself that the club wanted to keep him but he wanted to move to be a regular starter. I bet he wouldn't say no if we tried to bring him back.

Mane is a very good player. Caused us all kinds of problems when we played them.

José has been hammering this "we don't need much," and "we won't get into bidding wars for players with crazy prices" points for a while now. Keeps saying "we need only a couple of new players to motivate the squad."That sounds conservative to me. Of course José is a master at disguising his intentions but I just doubt at this point that we'll be in for any of these big names.

I don't understand how we're priced out of any player now, really. New shirt sponsor, new Adidas sponsorship, crazy TV deal soon, close to £100m in TV money this season, and the fact that we just made a PROFIT in this past seasons transfer business. Should we not be better positioned than ever before and have more money to spend than ever before? Don't understand this conservative approach. Sell to buy and all that stuff. We should be really going for it.

The more José talks about our business the less optimistic I am that we'll make even a single "top" signing. Sounds like we're just going to bolster the squad so that as the season wears on we can have higher quality options to fill in. Obviously, he's not going to come out and name any targets because that would be Ed Woodward level idiocy, but this should be a summer where we make a statement of intent that we want to dominate English football and join the biggest of the big boys in Europe. We SHOULD be after the Bale's, Pogba's, Koke's. At least try. Imagine how much panic there would be amongst every other club if we were to sign Bale. Even the "experts" are all saying that we'd dominate for a few years with him added to our side. He's clearly unhappy and unloved there, so why not try? It would be terrible seeing him at United. If we signed him it wouldn't even matter who City, United , and Arsenal sign. We'd be miles ahead of anyone in the league.

Doubt we'll ever even see him in a Chelsea first team shirt.

It's so...busy.

Tell that to Hazard. 100+ fouls on him.

If we miss out on both Koke and Griezmann, who the hell are we gonna sign? lol Like, the pool of players we can sign that would improve our first XI is small. The likes of Pogba and Bale are probably priced too high. Koke loves Atelti and won't leave apparently. Not saying I'm "worried" per se, but I hope we make some big signings like our rivals surely will.

That could be a huge dent in our transfer plans if true. Supposedly our top two targets. Wouldn't surprise me at all if Koke signs a new contract since he loves the club.

More like Di Maria.

Wasn't great but at least he didn't go missing into his shell like CR7 who was invisible in the second half. Hopefully Josè is in Perez' ear since he has such a good relationship with him about taking Bale off their hands. As with Pogba, I'd be worried if Bale ends up at one of our rivals Becasue I think he's tailor made for the PL and will rip it up.

His TERRIBLE haircut is sapping his confidence. Hopefully he continues to get boo'd and plays like this so they'll sell him. Then we can bring him back to London and watch him dominate again.

You act as thigh Oscar has been much better. Of course Willian isn't world class but Oscar has been average for a season and a half now.

Isn't Brad Friedel like 63 years old?

Both are far too good to be riding the bench. Begovic is good enough to start for a big club.

He'd hopefully be taking your lover Oscar's position in the first XI rather than Willian who has been one of our best players in recent months.

Your avatar will either act as a good luck charm or a jinx.

Does Neymar ONLY score tap-ins at Barca? Just about every time I see him score it's either a tap-in set up on a golden platter for him like that goal was or it's a breakaway 1-on-1 where he easily walks past a keeper.

There is absolutely no way we'd pay those fees being reported. I don't believe he really has a clause that high.
