He's going to cost at least £32 million.

^ What he said. Bertrand was lucky to be given opportunities and he took them. However it will not be the same for all our other youth players.

Oh please god get rid of him. We'll pay them to take him!

Ahh forgot about that. Yes, in that case your lineup is fine. It's not like a Luiz and Cahill partnership is weak. It may be even better and JT MAY (doubt it) find it hard to get back in the team if he misses some matches. Also Romeu could play alongside Modric. Would like to see how that would work out.

1. Maicon is still quality and has experience 2. It's easily possible for him to come to Chelsea 3. He would be good at Chelsea, as a backup 4. You're an idiot.

I don't think Terry will be replaced this season.

More like if they get him you will be proven WRONG and shown for the bullshitter you are.

I thought you told me you were going to stop acting ignorant and arrogant? Maicon would be a very good signing. Quality player with alot of top level experience. For the reported £8 million that is a bargain and he is great cover for Ivanovic. Your acting like he is a rubbish player ala Bosingwa. This guy was considered one of the beat RB's in the world a few seasons ago. Getting Maicon as back-up is far more feasible than getting Debuchy as backup. Like I said before, with him and Ivanovic, we would have the best RB department in all of Europe. Also how would you know where Maicon is going? Do you have sources? We do. Sky Italia. Here you go again with your I know everything, I can see the future and read people's mind bullshit.

Life is good when you're an Atheist

I'd say with those signings and Torres scoring on a somewhat consistent basis we'd be favourites for the title.

If we get Modric, Maicon and Hulk. I see alot of small team hammerings. We may break the 09-10 record

Exactly. He is worth every cent and can give us at least 5 good years.

Well maybe in Queensland but in NSW and particularly Sydney we are very diverse and multicultural. Sure there are the odd racist idiots but as a whole we are very accepting and friendly. Australia is one of the most multi-cultural nations on Earth.

I assume that Sky Italia is the exact equivalent of Sky Sports in the UK? In which case they are very reliable. £8 million is a Brilliant and smart piece of Business.

8 hours? Party time! :woo:

Ummmmm when did I say that.....?

I'm really excited about the prospect of having Maicon. Everything you said was spot on. People who are concerned about Maicon being 'ripped apart' by quick wingers, fear not as that rarely happens to someone as good and experienced as Maicon.

He's soon to be 31... Your underestimating him. There are not many players quicker than Bale so I don't think it'll be too much of a problem. Maicon is still quality.

It happens as you age. Can't help that. He is still good and has alot of experience at the top level. He may rediscover his old self with better players around him.

Yep, just a few years ago he was considered one of, if not the best RB in the world. That should tell you something.

He is a big upgrade to Bosingwa. Good going forward, pretty good defensively. He's lost some pace so against quicker opponents like Bale he'll need help.

Not possible. No young player will move to Chelsea to become 2nd choice and hinder their growth. Maicon is the absolutely PERFECT player considering his circumstances. He is exactly what we need for RB.

Obviously I meant if there are Injuries which would force Maicon to play RB. Yes, exactly. Well said

Looking like that RB may be Maicon which is awesome Hazard, Hulk, Maicon and Modric all in one window? No-one would have predicted that.

You can't actually believe that...surely you don't believe it? Plus Silva was not 40...
