Oh Choo Choo. That was only a story reported in the Mirror. Hasn't signed anything yet. Still on his current contract which has 3 years left. Some stories have been going about saying he will get and sign a new contract this summer.

If that had happened, it would have been all over Twitter, the news etc but...it isn't.

Erm, even if we put a 50m price tag on Mata? Not sure if they want to fork out another huge sum on a player.

Barcelona eye Chelsea's Juan Mata after report of contract dispute with Jose Mourinho Already there is a contradiction going on in the first two paragraphs...

It's in Spanish. Anyone care to translate?

TBF, I think it depends on what stories are being posted from Goal in here. If it's a news story about someone saying this and that with quotes etc, then it's fine. BUT if it's some BS story they completely write up like how The Sun, Daily Star etc do, then yeah. That should have been prohibited. Think the accurate report is the Sky Sports one. Saw on Twitter that the Dortmund Sporting Director actually said they still hope to get KDB on loan as opposed to the Goal article where it says KDB wants to join Dortmund (which is likely true anyway if we decide to send him out on loan but not the case now I guess). Won't mind that at all.

That is precisely why I found it amusing that people think having a strikeforce of Lukaku, Ba and Torres next season will be enough. Won't get us anywhere with that and we'll be fighting to stay in the Top 4 again. Mourinho won't put up with that. And at the moment, the overrating or overhype of Lukaku borderlines ridiculous. Had 1 great season at West Brom yes but many already think he's world class and can lead the frontline at the highest level when he's still got plenty to prove and improve on before he gets to that stage.

Really? On Twitter, there seem to be quite a number of people that still thinks it's worth keeping Torres on the basis of "oh. Torres is improving. He's getting his confidence back." and all that. And that is rather funny considering basically everyone here is against keeping him at the club.

Speaking about long passes from Mikel, have a look at the 2nd goal here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqffYs3XOg8

Blimey. The thread has gone quiet for the past 2-3 days. @CHOULO19 basically just praised the execution of a pass (only 1 pass!) and suddenly here we go round and round again with the Mikel debate...

@francozola, here's another Azpi lover for you @, . You two will need to slug it out for him.

Agree that attacking wise, he can still do better but defensively, he has been rock solid. Arguably our best defender last season. To have a new RB over him as you mentioned in the previous post would be very very harsh.

Kinnear is bitching about again. And Yohan Cabaye has suddenly become Yohan Kebab. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=kuAVjLpU9cU

Yes, this Choo Choo...

Shifting the blame to someone else. Typical Choo Choo. Exactly why I dumped you!

@Liquidator had experience with @CHOULO19 before?? Liar liar liar. Even 'my' cats are better are than you!

Your sex skills were horrendous!!! 0.1/10.

Already did actually.

Wouldn't blame him really. He after all hasn't even played for us! But as @Atholy pointed out, don't think we should be worrying too much about this. He did say he wanted to work with Mourinho one day recently.

Are you even good at anything?

They must be in heaven. Suddenly they have like 3-4 fellas next season who will give them quotes after quotes after quotes or chance to make big headlines to sell papers. You talking about AVB here? It baffles me how he got linked with Real Madrid, apparently Napoli and now PSG, after practically only 1 year of success in his career!

TBF, Marin was like half injured most of the time during the season. And given Benitez was under pressure to making sure that we continue to win as much as possible, he was never really in a position to give Marin lots of game time and chance to play him into form. Had to play those that is fit and ones that can come in to do a decent job immediately.
