Pizy

There were 2 major hurdles before: the Napoli owner and the buy-out clause. Now the owner admits that he would sell him, so the only remaining obstacle is the price. Would be a dream signing but would never happen unless Torres was ditched or went the other way.

Looks like someone just went crazy editing his Wikipedia page. According to it, Taison has scored 666 goals in 56 appearances for Metalist.

He's not been capped by Brazil?

This just makes no sense. If we're targeting a young Brazilian from from the Ukrainian league, why not bring in the one who shredded us in the Champions League this year who is still dying to move here and in a position we can actually use a player in? It should be Willian we're after not this kid who most of us have never even heard of, much less seen play.

Well yeah, supporters of other clubs won't, but the media would have a field day with it.I can see it now: "Chelsea are the most classless club in football. Shameful how they treat club legends." That kind of stuff has already started and he isn't even gone yet.

Can you imagine if he's 5 or fewer goals away from the record and he leaves. There would be a massive uproar and we'd be even more hated as a club than we already are.

This pitch at Mansfield is disgusting.

Anyone else gonna watch Sturridge's Pool debut?

Ain't happening. But the look on every other teams fans' faces if we do? Priceless.

LOL United fans going crazy again about our draw. How does it feel to see someone else get a bit of luck? Wankers.

Swansea look dire in defense. Hopefully Arse draw a good side next round and get thrashed.

Ramsey just tripped himself in the box and screamed for a peno! MICHU! Lol

That, and he's been constantly fouling Swansea's players and just took a dive right in front of the fans and was screaming at the ref.Such a poor player.

Yeah, the more I think about it the more it sounds like a shitty paper making stuff up. Not happening, unfortunately.

Like most of you are saying, I agree that it's likely made up bullshit, but I think he'd be much more valuable than some think. Not to mention it would piss the hell out of Arsenal, United, City, and Liverpool who are all after him.

Can't Isco play out wide?

Would be an excellent signing to rotate regularly with Mata and Hazard. You see how much better Mata performs when he's refreshed. He'd be playing under a Spanish couch, we have a nice Spanish contingent with plenty of young players he can grow with, and it would be yet another reason for Pep to want to come here. Plus he's one of those who if the time ever came to sell, he'd turn an enormous profit. Anything under £20m is a steal for a talent like Isco.

That's why I hate watching United games. The supposed unbiased commentators seem to wank at every little thing the team does. Van Persie has a sideways pass and the commentator calls is "world class!"

Hopefully we get Macc and United get Spuds.

BAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

Sucks that Moses has to leave to Africa!

Yep. Sam Matterface of talkSport also confirming Ba starts. Ash captain.

Beware that if you watch the Fox Soccer stream you'll have to hear a couple of our awful American pre match hosts and that mong Warren Barton. We better not lose this. Fuck sake. I'll not have my weekend ruined too like the rest of my week was.

Is there any indication that we'll be making anymore signings this window? Very quiet. Haven't really heard us linked with anyone in central midfield. Lamps looking almost surely off in the summer, Mikel off to ACoN, Romeu out for the season, and Luiz a little inexperienced in my eyes to be an automatic midfield pick against the bigger clubs. Seems to me that we'd be making that a priority.

Indeed. And the sooner Rafa realizes this the better.
