Don't know why people keep bringing up his age. He's 20 now and will turn 21 early in the season in September. Same age as Eden Hazard.

So no Modric, Hulk too expensive, Moutinho wants Spurs, and Oscar and Shurrle's clubs refuse to sell for the prices we've offered. Hopefully this doesn't mean we'll have to settle for average players like Willian, Walcott, or Moses as alternatives.

Lukaku looks like a giant standing next to Eden.

As much as I'd love this, I just don't think it's likely at all. We're absolutely loaded in midfield, and with Oscar seeming likely, don't see how he'd get much if any game time. Lamps, Meireles, Romeu, Mikel, Ramires, and maybe Oscar. Who's he going to displace?

I'm pretty confident with this squad being much better than last season's, but do we honestly think we've improved enough to make up 25 points or whatever it was? There's still work to be done in terms of signings. 2-3 more additions and 2-3 more departures, hopefully. Just can't imagine we'll be seeing Malouda in a blue shirt come the season opener. He's one who must go. Yossi and possibly Essien too.

They're trying to bring in Andy Carrol, remember? He'll more than make up for the absence of Ibra!

King Carlo probably falls asleep laughing his ass off every night knowing that all he has to do is name a player and they'll buy 'em.

Telegraph reporting that Madrid have offered £40m+. That should be the end of this saga.

Did Milan not just turn down €45m for Silva alone? Why would they accept €65 for Silva and one of the most expensive strikers on the planet? Sounds kind of puzzling to me.

So the word from his club now is that they'll wait until after the Olympics to make a decision. In other words, see if he plays out of his mind so you can milk us for more.

Trying to think what number he'd take.

That Nameless fucker ruins all of soccernet. Almost can't even go to the site anymore.

That's why I'm not holding my breath until I see a "We're delighted..." tweet pop up on my Twitter timeline.

"Tottenham also made an offer, but he should accept Chelsea's offer as there is more exposure there." HAHAHAHA! That's what I like to hear. Fuckin Spud scum.

^ Most expensive first XI on earth?

So either the signing has or is close to happening and they're just wrapping up details in secrecy, or it's just bullshit. This is why I never get excited by a DailyFail story.

Neymar take note! Join your mates here, son!

hopefully as far away from London as possible.

To think he wears Brazils legendary #10 at the age of 20 must say something... I'm not gonna get too excited, though. Maybe if I see it on Sky.

How does Oscar compare to his compatriot Ganso?

Our absolute priority should be a creative midfielder. A top notch striker can wait until January if need be. All of this attacking power we're assembling will be for nothing if the engine in midfield isn't doing shit like last season.

Will never happen, but imagine Ibra dominating the Arsenal and Spud back 4's. That alone would be worth it! My favorite BIG striker on the planet.

Just remember that yes, they may be able to use the huge money on players' transfer fees, but they'd still need to pay huge wages as well. They can't do that under their wage structure.That's why I'm not as worried about paying them £35m+. They may be able to attract GOOD players, but not GREAT players like we can.

Hey guys, how about a hilarious joke? Tottenham fans think they're a big club! How about an even more hilarious joke? Tottenham fans think they're a bigger club than we are! FUCKING LOL!

If there's one player that Lamps wouldn't mind sharing time or taking a back seat to, it would be Schweinsteiger. They're good friends, aren't they? He could be that rock in midfield that we need. The general.
