Good signing. Nice to see we didn't bow down to Norwichs massive price for Ruddy and told them to fuck off and brought another player in.

or if we do sell Ba and sign a class striker but out of the three we have right now thats what I think their orders are.

Ba first choice, Lukaku second choice, Torres third choice/out

Bottom of the pecking order? I'd put Torres there or sell him. Ba is capable of scoring 20+ goals a season, you'd think with the players we have here he'd easily score that if he was played more than twice a month like under Rafa. Lukaku has the potential but he still has a bit to go yet to be better than Ba imo. He will eventually be better, a lot better but for now in my eyes Ba should be our starting striker with Romelu being second choice. Torres can just get to fuck.

I'd say Ba based on how well he did at Newcastle over the last 2 years is probably our best option at CF. Lukaku will get a few starts and that but as seen at WBA he was effective coming off the bench with 30 minutes to go or something.

Why sign an inferior player to Ba, then sell Ba?

FUCKING ANY STRIKER CHELSEA PLEASE........... not that rapey cunt Nile Ranger though

We could have bought twenty five 31 or 32 year old David Villas (can't remember his age) for what we payed for Torres. What did Atleti pay upfront, like 2.1m? Incredible. Gomez cost 13m and Villa 2.1m where the fuck where the Chelsea board when this deals were going down?

Whoever wrote that 3 reasons to keep Torres should have their knob cut off and glued to their forehead to demonstrate that they really are dickheads. I could think of at least 50 reasons why Torres should leave (whey hey one for every million unlike that fucker and his goals) and they are all based around the fact that he is shit and is costing us a shitload of money. In fact if I had the dedication I'd write a list of all the reasons why we should get rid of him. 'Torres is a born winner' is he fuck. He won fuck all at Liverpool and I doubt he won anything with Atletico. He won the Euros with Spain in 08 and 12 as well as the 2010 WC but hes won a Champions League, Europa League and FA cup with Chelsea. He didn't contribute majorly to any of the trophies hes won here, ok maybe an exception for the Europa League but still, saying hes a born winner because hes been part of a winning club side since 2011 where he did basically next to nothing is ridiculous.

Because teams don't just sell off world class strikers.

Sign all the strikers and we'll play a 1-0-0-5-5 CECH NO DEFENCE NO CENTRAL MIDFIELDERS SCHURRLE MATA OSCAR HAZARD DE BRUYNE LUKAKU TORRES BA CAVANI BENTEKE

He looks like a bit like Jayden Smith.... that Karate Kid fucker who made about £4004004 billion before he even had pubes because his dad is WIll Smith........ on second thoughts he doesn't really.... http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTuZxvFpCXssLbt4nZNwGbE31WZzC6a2LBVUCtqTht5O178fcjXGQ I'm going insane I think Anyway another young guy whos chances of making it the first team are slim as we don't trust in youth haha. Great. Also just waiting for WBA to come out and claim we poached him like Kakuta about 6 years ago..... wooo

If we were to miss out on De Rossi, after seeing Gustavo's Confed Cup displays and the uncertainty around his Bayern future with Martinez there, would yous have him here? I would if he was attainable for a similar price to De Rossi. Hes also a left footer so that gives us a bit of balance if he were to play the left side of the pivot with Rami on the right.

Totally agree. Pedro is the player who provides the width on the right or left (can play both very well as hes ambidextrous, can use his right as well as his left) for Barca, hes vital to them as he can stretch teams that are sitting compact.

5.5m after tax apparently.

Looks set to sign for Napoli. Napoli have made some good buys so far, Damiao and Mertens should be good for them along with Rafael the Brazilian GK from Santos who looks as if hes set to sign as well.

Still can't believe Rafa was going to sell Alonso and replace him with Gareth Barry the season before he went to Madrid... what a fucking idiot hahahahaha

Gomez is effectively another player to cross off that list, a Bayern executive said he only wants to go to Fiorentina but needs to wait for Fiorentina to get funds together to sign him for the price Bayern want. If we could tempt Lewandowski, I'd have him in an instance. The only thing is, can we get him when he seems Bayern bound?

If we are to sign Alonso at least it gives us a player who can control the tempo in midfield, something we lacked last season.

Daily Star is shit haha, most unreliable newspaper on the go.

SIGN FRED!!!!!!!

If we get De Rossi then it changes everything, he will be the undisputed starter if he signs.

Exactly what Benzema did that season under Jose where he scored a lot of goals. It worked. Great to see a young player though raring to get going and doing training. Great to see.

Hes one of the only natural holding midfield players we have. If we are to continue playing 4-2-3-1, he has more a right to start in the pivot than Lampard, Essien, van Ginkel or Luiz, playing without a natural DM has given us problems in midfield. We only have Mikel and Oriol as defensive midfielders, one of the two should start there, with one of Ramires, Lampard, Essien or van Ginkel next to them.

Still better for the pivot than Lampard on the basis he is an actual defensive midfielder.
