Get in th.... Oh, express. Back to my cross stitch

If you mean Reus, I think it is absolutely normal to think he has his heart on Madrid.

I call nonsense.

wow, the tabloids are really blowing Montella's quotes out of context "Montella: No chance he leaves" ok, even though he did not say that

If Mourinho knew Salah or Schurrle could leave and we'd need a new winger, I find it pretty hard to believe that he wouldnt have at least looked into getting Reus. So for us to be in for Cuadrado is either Reus' just will not move this month or he has infact agreed to go to Madrid (i find this the more likely

Atsu and Traore will never play for our first team, theyll be sold on at profit. That's what most of the reasoning behind our loans is, nothing to do with potential first team spots... profit. Thorgan Hazard might get a chance... but very slim odds at best.

Just because I am sensing a lot of this anger in here is due to wanting Reus. Reus isn't joining. Quite obviously off to Madrid. That idea has to be put to bed

you realise it would be just as possible to find a youtube vid of Hazard looking poor too?

Was most likely scenario. Only if we had agreed a fee or matched his buyout would he have been left out

If he plays 90mins for Fiorentina today, then the deal is not close obviously. If, however unlikely, he pulls out then it is on

May have to get a signed document confirming Chelsea will pay the price. Does happen. Tbh though if his agent is coming over, I'd guess it is a little bit more than just "will you pay this? yeh? oh great, see ya im off back to Florence" Contract may even be drawn up in principle

I can never bring myself to trust Italian media for some reason. Unless the paper is based in the city of the club

We could. But not if Reus wants to go to Madrid

Agree. Thought to myself that if we are indeed moving onto Cuadrado, possibly have already contacted Reus people and been told he is off to Madrid

Busy day then. Italy are ahead of us too in timezone arent they?

Was always going to be, it is an opening offer, always go in with your lowest bid first. His buyout is 35m euros. Fiorentina, are probably thinking "it is Chelsea, what is 8m euros to them, let's hold out for the buyout"

How on earth people couldnt see Costa was a absolute Mourinho blueprint of a striker is crazy

Cuadrado isnt half as bad as being made out on here. He is better than Willian IMO. There are reasons why Barcelona, ourselves and Man Utd have been looking at him. A lot of the unhappiness at this signing will also be due to the fact many were dreaming of Reus

Also said maybe the club will decide to make a big signing to replace him

Lot of rumours in Italy that Roma are in talks for Salah, loan with obligation to buy. 15m euros or 17m euros. Don't think it will mean someone coming in though

Courtois is on bench due to not fully recovering from a thumb injury. Don't know if it is worth reading into Schurrle and Salah not being in the 18..

Tbh half the players who went to PSG went for the cash, not because they wanted to play for them. Put Lavezzi back in Napoli hed be a different player. Same with Cavani if he came to prem, or la liga etc

Isnt it just.

Few Italian journos claiming WOlfsburg have offered 30mEuros for Schurrle, saying it is via dimarzio. Take it and run, hello Dortmund how much for Reus

Noticed you are Croatian, isn't there any big story about him going to Leicester over there?
