Fernando

According to @The only place to be, and @didierforever, this is not true because he's not a "Mourinho type player" just another Roman signing

Reminds me of the Hulk Saga. In the end we end up not signing him.

Or sell him with a buy back clause?

How did you get Sky Nigeria? They did ask to send some money from you?

Usually when a big bet comes in, is cause someone knows news before the public. Big bets never are put on pure speculation but certainty.

Yes but only if they are good like Barkley.

I was at least expecting one good season ala Malouda. Not even that he has been able to give us.

Yeah just saw the video and after seeing it, it has that air of a prank. Their smirk in their face, like they knew what they was doing. I would take this with a pinch of salt.

Luke Shaw totally dissappear there. Hmmmmm......

Probably better news then any player we sign this window!

I agree on this but it seems Jose wants Luis. :-(

Roman signing? Far from it. If it happens it was a mourinho signing, period! Roman would have kept DL and Mata, but he has given the power to mourinho to build to his liking. So seriously there's no need to bash Roman this time. And not a mourinho player? I guess Ozil never was then......

Yeah not enough. 100 million pounds, and you get some eyes turning! Even then Chelsea might not sell, but you still get some eyes turning!

Don't know much about him other then his 19 and a midfielder. Yes I know, shame on me. But I have not been following the team much since the last WC qualifiers. To be fair not sure if this move is true, because we can use Chalaboh there and such.

Well that's a little too much FM for me. If cesc is sign it will be for that cm role. He can interchange with Oscar for that number 10 spot, but cm will be his primary responsibility.

Play Cesc as number 10 and Oscar as DLP?

hmmmm if this is true, then why sold Mata or KDB just to replace with something similar but a lot older? Both of those guys are shit defending and can do the same work that Cesc is about to do without all that baggage.....

Talked to some Barcelona friends and they saying how Fabregas is like the version of Mata for Chelsea. And giving how Mata was not good enough for Mourinho due to his lack of pressing and tracking back, they are surprised by this move. That Fabregas is slow, and can't defend for shit.

Saying how Cesc was in London this weekend and had a talked with Mourinho. In which they had an agreement, and now have to make a formal offer at Barcelona.

Why you angry? Aren't you the biggest Mourinho supporter? If he wants this guy, then that's the guy he wants.

Now that Lampard is official, this makes the most sense to me. People mentioned of Pogba, Vidal and such seems a bit far fetched. There's the thing about the club wanting to sell and the player wanting to leave. In this case Barcelona does want to get rid of Fabregas, and the player does want to go. The only stumbling block is Arsenal. Despite all the talk that Arsenal is not interested, we don't know. We can just wait and see what they have to say about this deal, since they have first refusal. If we can get past all that, I say for 30 million is a good deal. I'm not sure how much Barcelona paid for him, but his experience and his age seems like a reasonable fee. And he wouldn't have to adjust to the PL since he's well accustomed to it.

Lampard you Legend!

Well I remember reading that the odds was change because someone or a small group place a massive bet and so so. Massive bet are usually made by those individuals who know information ahead of the public.

I think there's a small difference though. And that's the volume of one person/entity. A big players will not put down much money on something not so sure but on secure news. As recently it happened with David Luiz to PSG. Also happened with Moyes to United.
