Can't see him being loaned out tbh because we would probably have signed him and put him back to Vitesse as they are playing in the CL next year. His agent said he would only move if he was guaranteed first team football, which he must be by the time he agreed to the transfer, but thats just what I think.

See if Napoli will take Ba and 35-40 odd million for Cavani. Then we will have Cavani, Torres, Lukaku and Schurrle as potential CF options next year. Or sell Ba and Torres and sign both of them? or is that just greedy Problem with the Cavani deal is they want Ramires and cash as opposed to anyone else we have offered (Torres, Marin).. utter wankers they are. Or just wait to August 10th until his clause is removed and try then but I have a feeling come the end of this month we will have signed a striker who is one of either Rooney/Cavani/Lewandowski/Mario Gomez... Do we spend money on Rooney say 20-30m transfer fee and potentially 200k wages or 50 odd million on Cavani/40 odd million and Ramires? I would rather spend 20-30m on Rooney and the 200k wages on a 5 year deal as opposed to a 53 million pound transfer and potentially 150k wages on a 5 year deal/40 something million and lose Ramires.

Which is a position we are more or less well stacked in with De Bruyne returning from Werder so we don't need him!

I reckon this guy signing would be that bit of steel and graft we've lacked in midfield since we had a fully fit Essien and Ballack in our team. Also as Strike pointed out too, hes a pretty much all round midfield player, like Ballack was in a sense. He is good defensively, he is able to create chances for his team mates (his passing is underrated by a lot who see him more as a destroyer) and he can also score goals from various positions like outside the box during open play and inside the box from set pieces etc. When he was suspended for Italy in the Confeds you could see the difference, hes such a vital player to them, as vital as Pirlo or Balotelli imo. Without De Rossi Italy don't have a ball winner in midfield, hes also capable of being that player that can create chances for his team mates from deeper but with Pirlo, Italy don't need to utilize him like that.

Remember the last 2 players signed from Sporting Lisbon by an English club for biggish fees? Ronaldo went on to be Ronalo and Nani wasn't too bad either when he was playing regularly for United. Means nothing but to say its a stupid buy or a bad buy without even watching him play (I've not seen him play either but heard positive stuff about him at the u20 World Cup) is a farce.

Looks so classy and professional, great job mate!

Forgot that.. yeah can't see us taking back all three of them (Wallace, Kalas and Omuero) interesting to see if we do go for De Rossi and loan Wallace to Roma.

Seen that quote that was posted above, don't care how unreliable it is. De Rossi is a perfect fit for us, sign him up.

Superb goal keeper. Hard to think about 4 years ago he was playing in the SPL with Motherwell and now hes an England international. If he'd accept the Turnbull role as I call it hahaha, then sure he'd be a great signing. Or possibly another keeper we could look at would be Ali Al Habsi, sure hes 29 or 30 but he'd do as a back up for a few years.

I dont think we will recall both Kalas and Omuero this upcoming season. We have JT, Ivanovic, Cahill, Luiz and Ake all options at CB and potentially either one of Kalas/Omuero who could get some game time but having both of them here, one of them would struggle for games unless we get a lot of injuries and suspensions. Kalas can cover at RB which makes him coming back seem more appealing but there was a rumor Steve Clark was considering approaching us about a loan deal for him which would be an excellent chance for him tbh. Also the fact Vitesse are in the Champions League too next year could end up with him staying there but hes already had 2 or 3 seasons in Holland, I think a Bundesliga/PL loan would benefit him more.

Meh Shakhtar are getting a great fee for a decent enough player. Could suit Rodgers system though but I'm sure he'd rather not pay 25m for him.

Really didn't get that substitution as Spain didn't even look to play a more direct kind of game with him on. What an idiotic substitution by Del Bosque. Still gutted they went through, thought the Italians did very very well apart from missing easy chances. Anyway Torres did alright. In comparison to that game at the Bridge vs Juve was a major improvement. Still a shit cunt though.

I've seen him play a few times before. Could be a good player for us in the pivot, hes capable of making things happen from deep.

Hazard is a number 10. His last two years at Lille he played centrally with large success. He basically carried Lille to the French title the season before he joined Chelsea. Sure he has the pace to stretch teams and is comfortable playing on the left wing but his best position is as a number 10. Hes not had many chances playing as a number 10 at Chelsea but with Mata who has been sensational in the last 2 years in terms of goals and assists and Oscar who is one of the most promising players in that position is it worth causing an upset? Hazard is comfortable playing left wing where as Mata isn't really as effective there and Oscar is also better centrally as opposed to out wide.

Did some junior football refereeing tonight. The oppositions coach lost the head at me because there player got a 'wee' nudge and fell over like an idiot hahaha and we went and scored from it. Utter bellend he is. Anyway fuck being a referee.

Who knows? What if he goes to Spain excels, comes back next year and gets a lot more games? Only a possiblity but hey you never know. Hes only 24 or 25 or something who knows.

I'm pretty sure all his tattoos on his arm and bicep are for his daughter , the Roman gladiator thing was just a rumor I'd seen on those links in this post I made a month ago.

Can we stop considering Oscar as a CM please? We all know it won't happen for a lot of years yet.... or it might not even happen at all. Its a future possibility but for now, he should stay as a number 10 no matter what. Hes better centrally. He is better at dropping deep to link the play than Juan is, his work rate is superb, he has a good tactical understanding and can drop back and mark players out of the game like with Pirlo and Arteta. I'd like to see him playing centrally under Jose. With Schurrle coming in that means another option for left and right wing so hopefully we won't see Oscar there much.

There is that many rumors about hiding his tattoo's and its what Roman gladiators did when they were still about. Its crazy. He is a class player though, everyone who questioned him before the start of this tournament despite him having a bad season with Roma need to have a second look. If Jose can get him fired up like Prandelli he would be superb here.

what the fuck has this place become, damn stingray has turned this place into a crazy house, influencing all the members that were sane when they first came on now they are crazy... anyway WAAAAAAAAAAAZUP

Well David Luiz vs Torres, battles of the idiots (well depends if Luiz is gonna wrestle people the floor) in the final.

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUC KFUCK FFUUFUFUFUCUFKUFKCUFUCKFUCK WHAT ARE YOU DOING BONUCCI ......... aw shit Spain are gonna win another trophy and everyone is gonna love their bore you to fuck style of football.

Does everybody hate Spain with their boring tiki taka, bore your fucking opposition to death with a DM upfront shit?

What the fuck has Stingray started.....
