That's most likely the case, but you'd expect some whispers here and there with SOME truth to them.Pretty much every player we've bought recently we've heard rumblings about prior to them coming. Except for maybe Cesc from what I remember. Only players were hearing about now are Falcao (who's been shit for a year) and Rob Green (who many here think isn't even good enough to trust as our backup).

If it's true that we aren't after Griezmann then who ARE we after? He was really the only player we've been seriously linked with so far.Weird how we aren't heavily linked with anyone like we were last summer. Slightly concerning.

Pretty sure it was reported months ago that Fiorentina exercised the option to extend his loan for another season with an option to buy a year from now, wasn't it?

Just saw this retweeted on my timeline from that WUM Rob Beasley: He's a huge troll, though, so I'm sure it's bullshit.

Ricky Lambert? :lol:

That black United kit is absolutely disgusting. And not in a good way. As for our supposed new kits hanging on the door, they'd probably look much better when they're actually on our players. Also if they didn't look like they were size 3x.

So long as we also sign Griezmann then I'm fine with Falcao. We need an attacking player that directly and instantly improves our first XI and Falcao isn't that.

Agree with this. He'll be given at least until January.

I've been burned too many times getting excited by rumors.Still haunted by the Neymar and Agüero sagas.

Don't get excited until a player is holding a Chelsea shirt and is announced by our official Twitter. That's my new personal rule.

I was thinking Silva at #10 with Kevin on the right and Sterling on the left.Attacking wise that would be ridiculous but then attack and goal scoring isn't their issue I guess. Yaya & Fernandinho clearly doesn't work. Still, don't want to see De Bruyne there.

This is what I'm concerned about. Would be terrible if he ended up at City especially.Say City get Sterling and KdB who they've been heavily linked with. Those two playing off of Silva, Yaya, and Agüero would be devastating. If he leaves Wolfsburg hopefully it's to Bayern or some other non-English club.

Subject of this weeks ScoutNation. He's so, SO much better than Oscar offensively, technically, and is just an all around classy player. Such a shame we sold him. He'd have a field day with Costa in front of him and Hazard beside him. Meanwhile, we'll have Oscar start brilliantly and then fade badly as the season goes on. Don't care how badly it would look for the club, I'd have him back in a heartbeat.

Another striker injured in training? Couldn't make it up.

I agree with you and I really like Remy and hope to see him have a bigger role next season.Just wouldn't surprise me is all.

I think it makes less sense for him personally than it does for us. We get any kind of production out of our third choice striker and it's not so bad.The fact that he'd agree to being our third choice striker is puzzling. Though it wouldn't shock me if José made him #2 ahead of Remy.

Only a matter of time before the Hulk rumors pop up again.

With Cesc and Hazard supplying him I suppose he could reignite his form. But that's only if he actually played regularly... ...which he wouldn't because we have Costa and Remy. Could be a master stroke or a Man United-sequel failure.

As much as I'd like him here, paying more for our backup striker than our first choice one would be silly. Can't see Liverpool paying that much for him either unless they funded it by selling Sterling. With the amount of crosses that United smack across the box he'd be great in their team. They do need a striker too.

If anyone thought Ivanovic would see his role in the side reduced next season they're kidding themselves. So long as he's fit he'll start every match next season again. He's undroppable just like Matic, Hazard, and JT.

Don't believe it, myself. Remy has proven that he can score goals time and time again. With Drogba gone you'd think he'd be our #2 option. Falcao on the other hand showed at United this season that he needs games to play well which he didn't get. He'd be parked on the bench for extended periods here as well and I doubt he'd voluntarily join as 3rd choice. Would be pretty fucked up if he's told he'll be 2nd choice and it screws Remy over. Against this potential signing personally.

So you want it to be harder for us to win the league? Interesting.I suppose you'll be happy if Bale goes to United, Vidal to Arsenal, and Pogba to City then?

The hell would you hope for that?

Kind of hope he does go to United. Depay and Gaítan aren't exactly the scary signings that I expected from them. Apparently these latest rumors linking him to them are bullshit once again, though.

If we do want him we'd have to act fast because unlike us, Arsenal can make him an every match starter.
