Exactly. Any article printed now saying he may stay is opinion, not fact. The exact same journos would have printed "Costa tells Atletico he's off" had they lost the title to Barca. Yes it's easy to think why would he wana leave the newly crowned champs. On the other hand, what if this deal was done and dusted a while back?

If he's coming as RB with Azpi staying on left, and with being homegrown I'd approve. As a CB where hes mainly played this yr, no. Cahill, Terry, Kalas, Zouma plenty

Nonsense. Utter nonsense.

Well its either a] Guardiola thinks he won't offer anything to the team and will waste a squad space or b] He's on his way

Lukaku was unhappy having to contest with Eto'o, Torres and Ba for a place. I'm finding it hard to see him being happy with fighting Diego Costa and Mandzukic if both deals come off.

Not sure if it's BILD, but there is one German paper who tend to be pretty much in the loop with all things Bayern. If we did get Mandzukic and Costa, you'd have to be pretty pleased.

except Vieri and Hasselbaink and Falcao were already very very good before going there

Deal so obviously been agreed for months, just info leaked now. Interesting see what happens with Courtois and Lukaku now. Still not convinced we will sign 2 ST, always thought it'd be only Costa

It seems cast iron he is off to Utd.

It's only because the one who reported it was David McDonnell and he is pretty spot on with Utd

The Mirror are reporting it is done so I'd say close thread time

Thinking of it logically, yes it would be a surprise to not see Mourinho match the bid. But, the fee is fucking steep.

Dont think we will match that tbh. I'd expect [depending on outcome of bid] Shaw to now be a Utd player

Nothing else in or out according to Jose. Had a inkling we would stop with Zouma

apparently the swedish media are actually quite amused that Arsenal want Kallstrom

Well Zouma will probs get confirmed yes, dont think he will give anything away re.anything else

Wasnt there a guy at Cobham? I missed it, anything said?

If offered the chance to sell Ba for £7m and sign Hernandez for £12m I'd snap hands off. Anyone happy to keep Ba rather than sign Hernandez is joking, and not being serious. They can't possibly be.

I really want to believe that by 11pm tomorrow there will be a signing out of nowhere that is a striker. False hope...

Kurt Zouma on loan to Middlesbrough, would probably happen when hell freezes over. Inter Milan, Monaco, Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea all wanted him, hardly going to go to Middlesbrough haha.

Where does Zouma fit in this yr? If St.Etienne say "yes we accept 15m euros so long as you loan him back to us" then that is a good deal. He isn't someone we need desperately right now.

Loaned straight back if true i expect

Desperately need a striker. Absolute piss poor not to sign one by Fri

Get your salt ready. Mourinho is going to rule out any more business this month but we know he is a tease :-D

You still think McEachran has a chance here? Blimey lol. I have said before, a lot of people need to realise loans, despite aiding players' development are good, they are also used as shop windows. A player isn't constantly loaned out by us because we want to keep him but have no room yet,it is also the fact we dont want them and are putting them in shop windows. Take Kakuta for example, will be out of Chelsea before you know it if we find a buyer, despite loans. Van Aanholt be same IMO. McEachran, Delac, Stipe Perica, the new young striker, wont ever play for us. It's silly but its fact. Out of every loan player we have sent out atm, the only ones I can genuinely see playing for Chelsea are Lukaku and Courtois. Hazard's brother may get odd few mins, but wont be a regular here at all.
