Would certainly be a good depth signing, but it's a bit strange that he'd agree to come here and ride the bench more often than not when he can go other places and be a regular starter.
It's being saved for Messi. We'll use the Mata money as well as the money from the Torres, Ba, and whoever else is sold in the summer to raise the funds.That should cover about 1/3 of his release clause.
I'd rather we just not buy Salah at all, bring Traore straight into the first team in the summer, and buy Shaw now. Then use the rest of the money towards a wold class striker.
He's like a mirror image of Willian but not as good. Underwhelming would be the optimal word if this happened. Just buy Shaw and pocket the rest for the summer.
Our board will hopefully realize how outraged the supporters are going to be and have something big planned to make up for it. Either one world class player or a couple of very good ones who can become world class like Shaw.
At least in Hazard's case if we sold there wouldn't be a snowballs chance in hell it would be to a direct rival. And we'd be getting Bale money for him.
All these journo's bringing up FFP for us... I thought it was widely accepted that the only reason we posted a loss last season was down to crashing out of the CL early? We've already made it to the last 16 and I thought those figures didn't include the £300m sponsorship deal and the new TV money? Hw are we even close to the FFP danger point?
I'm already getting my pillows ready to punch into oblivion once this goes through. Full meltdown here. We're selling our best player to Man United. So unbelievable that all I can do is laugh now.
I honestly thought Juan would go on to become a club legend. That he would finish his career as a Chelsea player. Instead we're going to sell him to our biggest rival of the last decade and kick start their squad rebuild. Chelsea Football Club is going to HELP Manchester United return to being a top class side. Disgusting. The way they fucked us over Rooney in the summer by telling us to do one, and we're going to send them Mata?
If we negotiate with them that Rooney comes to us in the summer and they indeed just give us ~£40m now, I'd be okay with us using a chunk of that on Shaw this month and saving the rest of it for the summer to go towards someone else.
I'd be fine if he was sold and replaced with an equally good player.This is looking like a cash only sale. Does nothing for us as supporters until we know Jose's plan. I'll be outraged until that point.
Sorry.He'll always be known as Cheatcharito to me after that offside goal he was allowed against us last season that basically ruined our season league-wise.
