Lost? Terminate the contract, don't need losers around here.

If Conte wants him, get him. Looks like an easy enough target.

If Costa really wants to return to Madrid, then we should allow him to. We saw last season how useless he is when sulking.

Have a feeling Cesar will be one of Conte's favourites, like he was for Jose. Hard working, uncompromising, defensive beast, can play either side. Any coach in the world would love to have him in the squad.

If we can replace him with Morata or Higuain, then I'm for it. They wouldn't cost much more anyway than the quoted sum for Costa.

Would be a catastrophe. He's too lightweight and soft for that role.

What's funny is that Conte said recently he doesn't care about counter attacking and doesn't train it. Wonder if it's true or he's simply making it more difficult to read his hand. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

Isn't this exactly the same reason many people here criticize De Gea, Neuer and such, because they are "show keepers" and make the simplest of things look good on telly? Courtois was supposed to be the calm guy who makes the most difficult things look simple. Critics and ridicule should go both ways.

Was the best midfielder for them, not sure why he was taken off instead of Fellaini or Witsel.

So the staff is trolling and provoking this issue in the first place, and regular folk who want sanity restored after a few weeks of unfunny title tampering are threatened with punishment? Now this joke I can understand... Azzar is a good player, should have been a goalkeeper though.

We always knew clubs will be asking overinflated prices from us because they know we are desperate and even richer now. Sure the money quoted for Radja is ridiculous, but I didn't expect anything else.

How do you pronounce his name?

Didn't she reject the reported 1.2 million? I think she got more now.

And this is why we can't get any signings done, a chunk of transfer budget thrown at Eva and Granovskaia was too occupied with this bs Now tomorrow I expect the unveiling of Nainggolan.

Didn't rejecting the money concern only Eva? Maybe Fearn was offered too and accepted it, hence the silence from his part. Also, why did Eva reject it if it's only money she's after? Was she so sure that she'd get that huge pay raise and put all the eggs in that basket? Doubt it. Or she thinks she can get more out of this trial if she wins?

There could be a number of reasons. I'm just speculating here, but Mourinho was appointed as a manager not head coach, so he was more than likely in charge of micro management questions, match day staff falls into that category. He'd just come off a title winning season, he'd proven he knew what he was doing, so the board probably didn't want to pick a bone with him over silly matters and just said something along the lines of "yeah do whatever you feel necessary, we have other doctors here". Don't think they even cared much at first, it was clearly Mourinho holding a grudge and the club might have just trusted his judgement blindly. It would be foolish to backtrack now when it appeared as if they supported his decision, when in reality they might have just left matters like this completely to his hands. And we have to remember that it is the employer, the club itself, under scrutiny here, they are defending themselves by being in Mourinho's corner.

Naturally, but he'd occupy Lampard's position in a 4-3-3. I'm wondering maybe Conte wants to go 4-4-2 with Nainggolan and Kante in the middle, would that work? Provided we get a proper partner to Costa of course.

Fuck, this has been my dream ever since Radja stories popped up somewhere in March/April. Kante (Makelele) Nainggolan (Essien) - Fabregas (Lampard) We'd be so solid and balanced with that line-up it's unreal (on paper). Get them + Koulibaly/Rüdiger/Manolas, Lichtsteiner, a striker, maybe Asamoah and this window will have been a success.

Wonder if there would be such commotion had he called a man, Jon Fearn for example, a "son of a bitch"? Can't believe the main talking point is about a single letter between "filha" or "filho". They even have an "expert of swearing" to analyze that nonsense - is that really a profession or did they pick up a gangsta from the outskirts of Lisbon? I was expecting something more intriguing and deep, now I just want to shout at them "get the fuck over it you oversensitive greedy twats".

Your posts are always on point.

Bottom line if we sign him is if he is better than what we already have. A German international at a young age, most likely he is better than anybody we have except for maybe Zouma, but that is left up for debate due to his injury. Improvement over what we have is what we should be aiming for, we are not in a position to get the best of the best. If we get him, a pretty obvious target of Conte's, I'd be happy... it's something.

What clown changed the title?

Could be a nice cheap stop-gap tbh. If we are looking at players like Rüdiger, Manolas and Koulibaly for defence, they are all fairly young, so having experience in defence is not a bad thing. It is the line that needs maturity the most. I can see Lichtsteiner balancing his inexperienced CBs quite nicely. Although I'm not sure what happens to Azpi then, back to LB? One question to those who know - is he an upgrade over Ivanovic?

Shove €35m on the table and see what happens, the middle road compromise.

I can't see your pictures, what does it say?
