Pedro in talks with Barcelona manager Luis Enrique amid Chelsea interest • ‘It will be his personal decision,’ says Luis Enrique • Blues could be ready to trigger £21.4m buyout clause http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jul/14/pedro-barcelona-luis-enrique Looks like it has potential.

Dude do you even consider things before putting such things? Do you consider that everyone in the PL are getting massive injection of money because of TV deals? City still don't make a lot of money like United but still something. And with FFP ease it means they can spend a bit more not crazy overboard and have a negative 100 million of loss in their reporting statement. They will not do what they did years ago of spending 150 million with hardly no income coming in. It still be control relative to a break even area, and I assumed selling of players would also help with this.

We payed 50 million for Torres so don't understand all the fuss. Plus he would have a resale value something we didn't with Torres.

Yeah I guess. If we go for Pedro that is.

Good signing. Finally we have our Damian Duff replacement!

Well if Mourinho does indeed looks to gamble on Bamford I will take it any day of the week. Don't know much about Traore, but I think Bamford deserves a shot with us. No matter if it turns out to be a total flop we need to take a chance with our youth!

Who cares about his attitude. As long as he joins us all this would be music to our ears! Liverpool will either stand by him like they did with Suarez or sell him at a lower price they demand.

Has a Damian Duff type of feel to it. And I like it!

I actually like the shirt that Henrique put. It's very nice and definitely will buy it. Since the Sponsor is from Japan it looks kinda like the Japan Kit, which ain't that bad since they are also blue.

I was actually relived when I heard he signed for Barcelona. Was getting worried with the Chelsea links in the past few days....

Men I come in to see if there's any news and there's nothing but bickering going back and forth. I guess it is a very boring transfer window indeed.

To me Oscar is like our poor man's muller. And all around player. However muller play in big games yet Mourinho benches Oscar in bigger games towards the end of the season....

If that's so then it's a big downturn from last season. Hardly any players to improve our starting 11.

How much is the butchers bill?

Not the most exciting signing. But after Torres nightmare I doubt anyone can go that low. So here hoping for the best!

Well PSG have their sanctions lifted by UEFA.

That definitely looks nice. However I can tell how cheap the material is so it might be fake.

UEFA to relax financial fair play rules http://www.espnfc.us/uefa-champions-league/story/2507973/uefa-relax-financial-fair-play-rules Well it was coming. I was saying it that after that new deal from the EPL it had to change. Because everyone was complaining how teams like Chelsea was able to buy and PSG couldn't. Oh well better for the game overall then having the same old team always in the semis.

No such thing! See for yourself:

Yeah I feel you. I wish it was like that as well. But hey what can you do. It would be a dead town if no one gave their fantasy lineups and hypothetical situations.

Yes please, working with Bielsa will be as good as Courtois working with Simeone.

I would say yes always to Marseille just because Marcelo Bielsa is the manager. I think Bielsa is even more crazier then Mourinho in terms of demand. If any of our youth is able to survive one season with Bielsa then we will have a great player coming back.

Someone put this in the Lampard thread. Will leave it here as well:

Mourinho didn't want to sell Cech to Arsenal and Chelsea allow it. I can see this as the beginning of the end for Mourinho at Chelsea once again. Too bad since it look promising, but we will never have a coach that will have the ultimate say in transfer. Now if Mourinho can stomach that then good, but it didn't went well last time.....
