Others on my timeline are still tweeting/retweeting info from him. Can still see his tweets but been blocked from following him.

Tancredi Palmeri just tweeted - "Chelsea have made aware Napoli that they WON'T raise their bid anymore".

At least they seem to do it with some purpose. In Sturridge's case, he always does without even thinking. Anytime he can cut onto his left shoot, he will just shoot, even if it's from the ridiculous angles and distance!

Mr Mod? C'mon man. I'm not a dictator here. Agree with the shooting part though just as long as he doesn't shoot ridiculously like Sturridge did.

Okay fellas, let's get back on topic, properly.

Like seriously... If Schurrle has a rape smile or rape face for that matter, we should alert @francozola.

Azpi defines rape smile perfectly here. Because his name 'Azpilicueta' was hard to pronounce.

You should always take transfer stories with a pinch of salt. Work better that way.

EH? Schurrle has a rape smile??? Not even anywhere close!

Yup. Pretty good editing. Looks very very real.

Daily Mail are also known as Daily Fail.

Thanks. That news seem to be based on the one published by Daily Mail earlier today. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2341680/Robert-Lewandowski-wanted-Chelsea-Bayern-Munich-blocked.html

Now the English media are slowly picking up on the Mikel to Galatasaray rumours... Galatasaray confident they can convince Chelsea's John Obi Mikel to reunite with Blues pal Drogba

Just saw this on Schurrle's Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/andre.schuerrle

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/jun/14/mikel-john-obi-interest-galatasaray?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter The Guardian have picked up on the reported interest of Galatasaray of Mikel.

That quote in Skipper's post was already posted just over 4 hours ago...

Isn't it obvious? Some people are selective in what they want to read and see.

Hello David, meet David... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2341579/David-Luiz-lookalike-namesake-plays-Brazilian-Galicia.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed

No surprises but Pellegrini now officially confirmed as City's manager.

You're missing the point here. I'm not doubting Kalas's quality but he's still relatively inexperience and may well need time to adjust. Just because others from the weaker leagues have succeeded, doesn't mean everyone would, at least not immediately. Still won't know how will he fare and mind you, it's different pressure altogether playing with us challenging for major honours and players like the one you mentioned playing at clubs with lower ambition & different objectives. Moreover as I have already pointed out, if we sell Luiz, we would then have only 3 experience but average CBs in Terry, Cahill and Ivanovic. Partnering one of them with Kalas doesn't exactly fill me with confidence and also for the reason CHOULO mentioned.

Because he wants to move to Bayern? I'm sure he would have liked this thing to be solved as amicably and smooth as possible but Dortmund playing hardball not helping despite his clear intentions to leave.

Being able to perform and perform well in the Dutch league and at the highest level in the Premier League along with Europe are 2 different matters altogether. Not saying he won't come good, which he might, but at the moment, I wouldn't trust him at CB with Terry, Cahill or Ivanovic throughout the entire season especially if we want to win the mahor trophies.
