The interview where he confessed he was an "antimadrista" is three years old. Hes recently quoted to have said: "Real Madrid are a club that excites me. They are one of the best teams in the world,". After losing Neymar to none other than Barca you sense Madrid are going to go big. Man City or PSG, they won't likely get outdone in the current circumstances. Having said that Man City does seem an attractive option from one perspective. I just hope his Spanish intution kicks in sooner rather than later.

He was talking about Brasils chances, and mentioned how Luiz is a liability defensively.

Neymar requested the shirt, slightly odd, I know; but I think most people know that Oscar's more deserving of it.

We really did big time. He used to be the number 9. In 2005 he was being compared with Messi after he bettered him in the Fifa championship. He wasn't only comparing to Messi but was held in higher regard to most of those talented players including Aguero One does wonder where Mikel would have been today had he signed for United...

For some reason whenever I look at Pellegrini this theme runs through my head: (even though he has a slight resemblance to an old henry fonda )

I don't know I'm assuming so? Haven't seen you around for a while, I've been on and off too. Good to see you back. Nice avatar too

I liked your videos but this is a pathetic thread IMO.

He is a Chelsea player apparently. Here's the quote we're concerned with: So he's apparently a Chelsea player but will go out on loan to Benfica for two years? Strange though how Chelsea FC haven't said anything on the matter... http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8768815/Transfer-news-Partizan-Belgrade-claim-Lazar-Markovic-belongs-to-Chelsea

As if Jose's first press conference wasn't exciting enough, Cavani possibly being announced too? Damn

Your gif lol? I've seen this on a few forums for a while

"Maybe leaving Roma would be a defeat on a personal level for Daniele De Rossi, but professionally I believe it would be a good thing," Prandelli told RAI. Benayon, Turnball, Malouda etc. leaving with Cavani and De Rossi looking more likely? .

Apparently we're back in for him alongside City, Barca and Madrid. Madrid apparently had a 20 million euros bid rejected the other day so we'll have to dig deep. He's a great talent with clear potential. Roma did some really good business to get him for 3 million. Only one season on major clubs from across the globe are willing to pay almost 7 times that amount!

He rejected City last year who were apparently offering in excess of £30 million and around £130k a/w in wages. De Rossi peaked 2 years ago, but he's still quality and the Roma team generally weren't great last year. This would be the cheapest you could get De Rossi for a while now, so economically speaking I guess it's an ideal time. He would be a big loss to them, and Serie A for that matter, but their loss would be our gain. Midfielders like him, especially Italian midfielders, can go on for a few years. I would imagine Mourinho and the Chelsea team as a whole would love having a gladiator like De Rossi in the team. The more I think about it the more I like the idea. If he does decide to leave I'd welcome him with open hands.

@1chelsea

These are the supposed quotes from Perez (weren't in the SSN article for some reason):

Madrid have scored over 100 goals in La Liga for the last three consecutive campaigns. Mourinho is the first coach to oversee such an achievement.

Welcome back

haha some jokes just write themselves:

You saw right through his Genjutsu. On Jose, we all know it's happening, just need to be patient and wait for the official confirmation.

He's going to have so much fun in la liga! As much as some people are happy I'd never say no to Neymar.
