Just pressure them, turn his head, and get it done ASAP. Stones, Falcao, Begovic, Pedro, and a midfielder and we'll have had a great window.

Or the opposite can happen and he improves more and they'll demand even more money for him.There's no way he's only worth £15m.

The away kit looks fantastic!

at all the Everton fans on Twitter and ToffeeTalk saying "£20m? They can double that and we'll talk!" Or "if David Luiz was £50m then we should demand at least that for Stones." It's funny, many Chelsea fans think paying over £20m is ridiculous while all the Everton fans think it's a derisory amount.

I think the inflated fee and English tax is actually worth it for Stones. Getting a quality CB is extremely difficult. Perhaps more difficult than any other position right now. Finding one who's this young , English, and who can play with the ball at his feet so well already is something we shouldn't pass up. He's a fantastic footballer and can only improve dramatically under the best English CB ever and Mourinho. Probably looking at Luke Shaw money here but I think it'll be worth it long term.

Doesn't really suit the way Liverpool play at all, does he? He thrives on long balls and crosses, neither of which Liverpool utilize. I suppose now that they've signed Clyne that can change since crossing is what he does best. Still, seems like a strange buy for them. Would've been a much better fit for United who smash in loads of crosses every game. Glad it doesn't look like he's going there.

When does the away kit get unveiled?

How ironic is it that Oscar is the worst actor in the vid? He looks like a robot.

The little launch video made me cringe so hard

Keeper kit doesn't look as bad as I initially thought.

It's apparently €40m as well, not £. Even more of a steal.

Still incredible that José never targeted him. He's literally the midfielder I'd imagine Mourinho designing in a lab if he were creating his perfect player. The price that's being talked about for him isn't even absurd either.

Midfield 3 with Matic & Witsel just behind Fabregas in the big PL matches and in the CL would be solid as a rock. Fabregas gets freed up more from defensive responsibilities while not leaving Matic do to all of the work. Would be a brilliant signing but I can't see any way it happens without Mikel leaving and that's not looking likely.

When do the Copa America guys report in?

Look at José there...

Guess that would make sense. Still, sounds implausible.

Why would Roman be involved at all in transfers? When has he ever been before directly? Clearly bullshit.

Another attacking mid. Just what Arsenal need, huh? No place for him at all there.

This.

So it's completely up to what Pedro wants. Does he want to be an important player here or ride the bench at Barca and waste the prime years of his career? He'll be even further down the pecking order now that Arda is there. The manager and board have now said they won't stand in his way should he want to leave. If he's the best available that we can get (which is looking likely) lets get it done. Want him to have a preseason and be able to hit the ground running.

Just waiting for Beasley to kill it stone dead now...

Where would he possibly play? Makes no sense at all to bring him back. Imagine if we didn't buy a new player and brought Moses back instead. The rage here would be hilarious (justifiably so).

Exactly.They clearly want to avoid the "what the fuck is Yokohama" questions from millions of people. By year three I suspect it'll be gone.

Pedro himself said he hasn't spoken to Mourinho. He could of course be lying as to not piss off Barca.

That's the spirit, champ. A player who has been a part of the greatest club side ever and the best national side ever and won every imaginable trophy he can win will in some way lessen our chances in the CL.
