Anything that weakens Le Arse I'm all for. We should be praying just as hard as Arsenal fans that he doesn't go to United. That's trouble for all of us. The longer the saga plays out, though, the less time Arsenal will have to find a replacement. Bad thing about that is, if it takes too long, he may end up staying which makes them a threat.

This, exactly. Let him focus on helping his country win gold for the first time in their history without the added media attention and constant spotlight on him every time he's in public. He'll be ours soon enough.

A midfield with Hazard, Mata, and Oscar in it would be among the top 3 in world football with Madrid and Barca. Oscar looks silky smooth just like Hazard did the other night.

Chelsea transfer target plays... TalkChelsea crashes... Hahaha

Being reported around the net that he can be had for between £20-25m. If reports that we're in for Cavani are true, why not at least test their resolve and save £10-15m? Only real downside is his age.

You think Spuds can afford his £38m transfer fee AND his £100k+per week wages? Don't see how.

Some of those turns from Hazard! Mmmmmm Lukaku is even bigger than I recall. An absolute BEAST.

Remember that Sounders are renowned for having some of the best fans in MLS(for what it's worth) so expect a huge turnout. The stadium is designed with special acoustic properties as well, I believe and Seattle Seahawks games are said to be the loudest in the NFL when the crowds are going. People unfamiliar with the look of the stadium should be impressed also. Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen owns the team and made sure everything is beautiful.

Hazard slots it in to Lukaku....GOAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!!1 I'm calling it.

City have Tevez, Balotelli, Aguero, and Dzeko. United have Rooney, Welbeck, Berbatov, and Chicharito. In other words, people who are saying we're "set" at striker with Torres, a talented but flawed Sturridge, and a 19 year old who has next to ZERO Premier League experience, are simply wrong. With Lukaku almost certainly going out on loan, I think we'll almost certainly bring another goal scoring forward in.

FFP? HAHAHAHA

Yeah, I'm not really a Torres slappy and I'd feel bad if he struggles again, but I just won't feel super confident if we went into the season with only him and Sturridge as our options up front.Its sad to say, but I think the only way Cavani can be brought in is if Sturridge is shipped to a club like Spuds or Liverpool who are willing to pay large fee's and are desperate for a player in his mold. We could use that cash to partially fund Cavani/Falcao/whoever.

People constantly saying this would unsettle Fernando and that he'd puss out and withdraw into his turtle shell again if we brought in another top striker. What if it had the opposite effect and made him more confident? He could take more chances and risks knowing he doesn't have to be the one shouldering the load up front on his own. He may flourish with a Cavani or Falcao partnered with him and it could alleviate some of the immense pressure that his transfer fee has on him.

Mata looks like he weighs about 80 lbs as well. He did fine. Players like David Silva and Modric are tiny, too.

Forgot the curly geezer!

Don't see how they could possibly afford him. They'd have to use every bit of the money from Modric's transfer fee, and even then, they couldn't afford his wages.

Nope. Kits.I would take the kid Ox, though.

Arsenal has.....nice kits. Sorry, that's the only positive thing I can say about them.

You have no excuses now, Neymar! You can leave Brazil for London and still feel right at home. Barca in blue? Fuck that. Brazil in blue.

Good thing about living in the Eastern time zone of the USA. It's mid-day in London when I wake up, so I can usually get some juicy news right away.

Hulk will be dying to come here even more seeing yet another compatriot move to Chelsea. Oscar should get into his ear during the Olympics about putting in a transfer request.

Hmmmm "Brazilian Football Confederation personnel confirmed that Oscar was released for the medical - Feeling is he has already signed for Chelsea"

This is about the third time this deal is "100% done," so I'll wait for a "We're delighted to announce the signing of Oscar" tweet from Chelsea FC to get excited.

Daily Mail now saying we've bid £27m for him. I'd sincerely hope we wouldn't go anywhere NEAR that price. Not worth a penny over £15m, in my opinion. Their fool of an owner thinks he's worth more than Hazard. Get the fuck out of here. That kind of money is reserved for world class players. The vast majority of fans have never even heard of Willian.

The game airs on ESPN here in the States, so I'd imagine they'll be streaming it via their website, too.
