Sheva.

If that was going to happen, it would have been last summer when he had just scored 20 or so goals, including a good one in Europa final. Even those rich teams in small leagues, won't waste so much money on a lost cause like Torres.

Lol jeez, show some mercy.

Yup. Torres and JT are at 150-175k reportedly.

He says Costa will be on 185k, surely that will be a considerable increase from whatever he was on previously.

Many of the chances he had the pass before the pass. Better performance than the first 2 games.

Dp.

So will he get some random number like 29 since Torres ain't going nowhere?

We have 5 AM's at the club, 3 of them have only been here for 1 season, and the other two for 2 seasons. It's unlikely anyone leaves, and Mourinho has been talking about how they can all improve after adapting to the league.

Exactly, added pace and runs in behind that gotze and Ozil couldn't provide.

Especially against the lesser teams.

Man, if this deal was as close as it had been reported, it should have been done long ago. Release clause is there and Atletico have said no one leaves unless it's paid. And he has no world cup to worry about.

Top class DM, b2b midfielder with insane potential, world class creator. Perfection. Pogba for 60m is insane though, even in this market. His price should be 20-25m less imo.

He will and should warm the bench a lot next season, until he can prove he's good enough to start over better players.

We don't need him. Schurrle is a goal scoring winger like him (minus the flair) give him more playing time, and he'll score even more goals.

He doesn't have much to prove. He's not coming from any shit league and has played in 2 European finals. It's fair enough to site Atletico's awesome defence, but Chelsea's isn't half bad either - a lot of games Cech has nothing to do. The one problem he might have in England is the physicality on setpieces, but he will get used to it. It's not like we aren't used to fuck ups on corners from Cech And finally, if Courtois wasn't owned by Chelsea and the club were trying to sign him along with some other top clubs; obviously he will go where he has the best chance to start. Like I said before, GK isn't like other positions. No top GK will sit on the bench and play only cup games till the #1 fucks up.

Wouldn't surprise me if he bites his wife when she angers him, animal.

Decent goal tbf to him. Costa from past 3 games would have managed to not score there.

Tbf to the Belgian manager, that squad has no fullbacks to support the wingers, and their best CM's aren't exactly creative. It's pretty much Chelsea of last season, except they can't go out and buy Fabregas and Luis.

Motm, easy.

At least wait till he does something in final 3rd. His decision making looks hurried like Salah and he takes too many shots.

If anything after his performances in this WC, Real might decide to get a backup for him, rather than try to replace him.

Courtois; Azpi, Cahill, ?, Luis; Fabregas, Matic; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Costa. The most likely captains there are Azpi, simply because of his attitude and Hazard because he's the best player. Unlikely but still possible is Fabregas. He's in the right age bracket, and has been captain before.

He does miss some pretty easy chances.

Not to judge him, just to see how he copes. I have only really seen him at Barca against very defensive sides. Even Atletico didn't press like this, Chile players must have been on something lol.

I for one would have liked to see him play against that insane Chile pressing. Meh.
