Sun and Daily Fail running a story saying Levy rejected Madrid's latest bid of between £36-38m. Madrid apparently offered £30m up front, rising to £38m over the length of the contract. That fucking idiot Levy wants it all at once. He should be glad he's still able to get £25m yet he's rejecting offers WAY over Modric's worth. True sign of a small club when you're so utterly desperate to keep a player. Levy knows that they can't compete without him. Any big club can afford to let a top class player go, recoup, and move on with the transfer money. Spuds are being offered silly, once in a lifetime money and they turn it down FOR THE SECOND TIME. Beyond words how dumb that is.

Heskey.

I can picture it in my dreams now: "So the transfer window closes in 1 hour and Chelsea FC have finished up with Moses and Azpi. Good window, I'd say. Over to you at the Sky Sports transfer window tele." "BREAKING NEWS: Chelsea FC have signed Falcao in a shock last minute deal."

Hulk + Azpi please! Falcao would be the ultimate acquisition. Would instantly make us a top 3 club in world football.

I'm just waiting to see one of his signature left footed cannons. He looks a very threatening player when taking his man on 1 on 1 on the right side.

Strange seeing him as the furthest man forward at times that match. What do you guys make of him in the more advanced role he played in today as opposed to the first match?

Hey Neymar, request a move to join your compatriots at Chelsea and continue this nice linkup with Oscar.

Neymar nutmegs with his fucking head, and a nice cool finish from Oscar. Damn this kid is special. He better be a starter VERY early on for us.

They're showing commercials during this Brazil game here in the US. WTF!!!?

Anyone screencap the crouching Eva ass shot?

Lukaku's first touch is simply awful.

Anyone have a guess on the Milan lineup?

I've been looking into a way to get Sky here in the US but can't figure out how to.

You guys are complaining about the CTV commentators, try listening to the American ESPN commentators like I do for the whole preseason.

Awww, saw the thread title and thought we'd get a POV cam that showed how shitty Turnbull is in net.

The 3rd kit is gross, though.Maybe I'll get the 3rd kit with Malouda on it to demonstrate my disgust that he's still on the team. lol

As a person who likes to wait until the transfer window closes to choose whose shirt I'm gonna buy, our current squad is making it increasingly difficult. Mata, Oscar, Hazard, or Lampard? May have to get a home and an away.

Oscar 11. Just rolls off the tongue!

So A COURT OF LAW finds him innocent, but the FA charge him as guilty. Makes sense.

Really wouldn't mind if we tried to bring him in. He's proven that he can play in tandem with another striker. He wouldn't cost an astronomical sum, just over £20m as opposed to £35-45m like Cavani or Falcao, he and his family love London, and it would drastically weaken Arsenal. Yes, he's 28 and has had injury problems in the past, but he won't be asked to single handedly carry a team like he was last season. Another thing to consider is the differences between ours and Arsenals medical staff. Look whatnhappens over there; someone picks up a small nick and is out for months. Wilshere has been out for a fucking year! Remember when JT was injured last season and it was thought he'd be out for like 4 weeks? Came back in 2. Sturridge was going to miss the Olympics because of infection. Makes Olympic squad and praises our medical staff. Gary Cahill with his jaw? Fixed ahead of schedule. I think he'd be absolutely lethal here. He wouldn't have to move his family, can receive higher wages, and will almost certainly be challenging for EVERY trophy in Europe, including one against City right off the bat. This could be a brilliant buy, mates. Even if he doesn't work out, he'd sell a shit load of shirts, our global brand will have grown immensely, and we have all of these new sponsorships to cover the cost. We can MORE than afford to take the financial hit if he fails. Can't really say the same if £40m Cavani didn't work.

Just reading through some opposing clubs' forums and they're all impressed with Oscar. I even sense a bit of concern from Citeh's Blue Moon boards. One poster said we're now a RB and young CB away from being a serious threat. They have a 10 page thread for him since we signed him yesterday.

He passes better with the outside of his boot than most of our current players do with the insides of theirs.

How sick would it be it Hulk dominates in front the English fans tonight and signed for us tomorrow?

Yep, same lineup as the last friendly I believe.Definitely watching this one over Team GB.

Only somewhat depressing thing about this loss is repeatedly hearing the commentator say that United beat this AllStar team 5-0 last year in preseason.
