Not quite yet. Neymar seems keen to be a Chelsea player, whenever chance arrives, so agree the fee and I'd say he could arrive. Wouldnt surprise me if we miss out though

I wouldnt believe that Wagner 100%, afterall he's hardly likely to announce Neymar to Chelsea on fecking Twitter lol. He went from saying its impossible, to, its complicated due to the investors 40%.

Yeh, I know we are spamming here lol but my gripe is people think he will work miracles based on 4months work in 09 when he had no pressure whatsoever.

Yeh should of guessed. Just my opinion

Hiddink is over rated.

Well if Neymar doesnt want to come hes doing a shit job of showing it, more than once he's admitted playing for Chelsea would be a dream and he hopes we go back in for him.

If chelsea pay the release fee Santos CANNOT reject it, how fuckin thick are these journos lol

Feroze, go on his twitter hes starting to sound like it is possible, but its difficult as theres a 3rd party

Nao, neste verao é impossivel a transferencia do atleta. - Wagner Ribeiro Translates to "No, its impossible to transfer the athlete this summer"

Possible, but I'd say its more likely that he does join. Agreeing a fee will be much easier this time, as once we agree a price with the DCI group or whatever they're called. Santos can only ask for 60% of his buyout, so thats sorted. And with the way Neymar has been dropping hints to us it is pretty obvious he wants to join. Im not 100% confident, but im fairly sure he will sign. People have been saying he might wana stay until 2014 world cup? Not a chance, he has to leave for Europe soon if he wants to prove himself as one of worlds best

Feroze can i just ask, on your Twitter you said we have agreed the deal with the third party group, where did you hear this?

£39m is his buyout. The NCIS group or whatever own 40%, which leaves the remaining 60% to Santos (£23.4m or something) Once we have agreed everything with the third party group, Santos cannot ask for more than £23.4m as that is what their 60% is worth. Thats what my understanding on this 3rd party stuff is. Santos sold the 40% AFTER we bid last year, which is probably why them rejecting £25m last year but accepting £23m this year makes a little more sense. In a nutshell, Santos are receiving £23m but the entire deal is worth £39m when you take into account the amount we will pay for the other 40%

Plus most people want him because he was excellent for us when interim boss. Yeah because he was here for 4months, knew he was leaving after it, has absolutely no pressure and no fear of the sack. He will have to manage us in a completely different attitude/way. With regards to someone saying Guardiola, he probably wouldnt do that well with us, especially without Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Villa etc even Avram Grant could lead Barca to La Liga title

I think itll be hiddink, however much i think id be under whelmed by it tbh. May get slated for this but I dont want him - rather see someone young come in Edit: But I will add people still claiming its Redknapp... especially seeing as there has been no denials from either party

Some people are saying (on twitter so yes hardly 100% reliable) that the Monday after Turkey game Hiddink will be unveiled, however he will actualyl sign to become manager during the coming week, so before Turkey game, maximum of 2yrs deal and then move to DoF Sounds plausible to me, but didnt Hiddink say he wont decide anything until at least Turkey Belgium game? Which is why Im a little sceptical about the rumour. Plus, what if Turkey win? Does the man always "loyal" to his contracts then do a runner to manage us? hmmmm

LOL Then I will start a "Gary Megson IN!!!" one

This is latest from Spuds website Bit of a mate of a mate of a mate story, but my boss has just had a text saying solicitors are finalising Redknapp's contract to Chelsea. Friend claims to know one of the solicitors involved. No idea how reliable, but thought I'd share. I know a certain website rhyming with hole.nom cant be mentioned on here, but they got a redknapp story on there, although they are probably 0.1% in reliablility

I have seen on a Spurs forum, well someone linked it, but they're saying he is still odds on with some bookies and they're convinced its happening. I dont know odds as ive said before so whats the deal with betting suspended? Is it the Bookies panicking that they'll have to pay out loads if it happens... or they know something we don't? Edit: If his odds have gone from 4/6 to 6/4 wouldnt that mean either us, Spurs or Redknapp himself, even a representative have denied it, thus meaning bookies have decided to lengthen his odds as it is now not happening

Wasnt there rumours yesterday that Redknapp was seen at Cobham and some even claim to have seen him leaving the Bridge? Highly unlikely tbh, anyone heard anymore on this? Is he still odds on?

Perhaps the fact a friendly or whatever was arranged sparked rumours. Cant see Barca entering race when Rossi is on verge of signing

Just been on official Chelsea chat lads, and, one of the members reckons hes read Barcelona reps are in Brazil to negotiate Neymar deal. FUCK OFF PEP

The 5 on the list are apparently Neymar, Lukaku, Van der Wiel, Willian and Modric. Dont know how true it is, and Neymar is the one Abramovich wants as main marquee

I had a feeling it was a Roman signing, the 5 targets were decided with no input from Ancelotti anyway I heard.

ah right cheers. So they think Neymar is a Chelsea player. What makes them change the odds? Id of thought the odds would be (less likely) with a manager change

not a clue in hell how odds work so dont even know if 5/4 to 10/11 is good odds, or what. So, are them odds basically saying its less likely now than it was before Carlos sacking, or its nailed on? Think smiley face gives it away
