Fernando

I'm in the middle with this. While I respect his choice because of his family, something still doesn't feel right. Not hating at all, but I just don't know. I guess the fact that when we ask for Ox they don't do business with us bothers me.

Like the money we could have spend on last season on Luke Shaw just because he was English?

Yeah this is what annoys me more. We wanted Ox and they don't want to do any deal with us. But we have no problems in doing it.....Not the first time it happened with other players to other PL teams.

What kinda frustrates me about this is that we will do business with Arsenal. But when we want to buy a player like Ox they won't do it. Why are we so obtuse?

Sad for this. And here I thought we was doing smart business. Guess last season was just a blip?

I agree, that Red logo makes it look out of place. But hey what can you do, that's their logo in everything. I might consider buying the away white kit. That one is looking nice.

I think the Copa America lost some competition when they put a restrictions on North American team. When a full Mexican team played, they was always good. And not to mention that if you add a USA or Costa Rica. Oh well.

It was so bad that Mata and Di Maria did bad. Mata was great here and I'm sure Di Maria would have been great for us as well. So I agree that it's hard to gauge those stats when United was a mess last season.

If he does good we buy him, simple as that.

This would be a good signing to me. Before going to Zenith I wanted him from Benfica. If he comes he won't be a hit right away since he has to get used to EPL coming from a weaker league. Kinda like Willian.

The only reason I like this, is that it's a loan. So we don't spend too much money over many years to make it work. It can work and it can't work. For every example you have that it work there's example of people like Sheva, Torres, and Kaka. Mourinho ain't no magician and he can't make everyone perform the best. He will try but if it doesn't work oh well. It was just a loan.

If that's true, then truly well sold.

So what are the actual figures for this loan? This is all I could find: However, L'Equipe claims that Chelsea have agreed terms on a deal that will see the Blues pay just over £7 million to loan Falcao for the season with a buyout clause of £35 million.

Yeah I agree, but at one point in time we need to take some risk with the younger players. This season is where we have to take at least one. Weather is RLC, Ake or whoever we need to make good on our promises. If this season we finish with the same shenanigans of no youth and more talk about next season then nothing will ever happen with Mourinho and the club.

Yeah I agree, this will only make sense if Arsenal give us a player. Otherwise let Cech go to PSG!

Well welcome to Chelsea El Tigre. Wish you the best. Hope you can rediscover some of your lost form with us! :blue scalf:

I thought we was smarter then this. We are paying a bonus for this loan and have a big buy out. I wonder if we are also paying all his wages....

Well we will be sad to see him go there but if he does hope they give us a player we want.

That doesn't mean Cuadrado will be a legend as well..... And I still don't buy your theory. \

Okay got it wrong with Cuadrado. So why then continue with the same mistake in getting someone like Douglas Costa? Doesn't compute!

I'd take it. Falcao, Remy and Costa would be an amazing step up to what we had two seasons ago. Well done Chelsea and Mourinho. However I do wonder where that leaves Bamford.....

I'm getting bored with nothing happening on Chelsea end. ? Last season we did our business early and fast. Why can't it be like that all the time. Sigh.

Juergen Klopp ‘happy to manage outside top four’ says agent Think he wants Liverpool!

I agree withwith nadavTKL. I was telling my cousin at the end of the game how this Barcelona ain't that Barcelona that completely obliterated everyone a couple of years back. They are good but not to those levels. That being said with their ban for the summer I suspect that they might not pose a big challenge next year and thus making it again that no team has won the CL back to back.

The same was said of Cuadrado. Last year we did good in buys, but in 2015 so far we have done nothing good. Is this turning to a hit and miss thing with the club and Mourinho?
