Strike

i think it will be available on youtube. chelsea will most probably upload it officially or otherwise someone or the other will use screen recording software and upload it

i did not expect both lukaku and de bruyne to be retained. this will be a pleasant surprise, if true

Mario Gomez

Well, the good news is Chelsea are trying to add a bit of steel to the midfield. Last week there was talk of de Rossi, this week KPB. Most of us would prefer de Rossi but I can only imagine he wants to stay at Roma if Chelsea have jumped to Boateng

Mourinho will address the English press at 1.30 pm UK time on Monday, June 10.

Fulham Broadway will still be the connecting tube station I think. And Earls Court doesn't have a good ring to it

Wait. Lillie Bridge is near Fulham Road? This looks better than Battersea really. Battersea was 2-3 kms away wasn't it?

^Emirates is dead for over an hour of the game Fans closer to the action like the Bridge now. about 60-65k will be fine but if they can fit in more safely/introduce safe ground-level standing areas, then great!

Mourinho slowly stamping his authority again. Looks like both Lukaku and de Bruyne are both staying at the club. Excellent depth Hulk will only be a luxury now

What if this is Hulk 2.0?

Performance Mode? Did we sign Cavani or something?

@Rmpr, Something wrong? I agree. If Mou really wants Cavani for this money, I think he's thinking of balancing it with a cheaper midfielder

Boy, you're really holding out on Mikel to Galatasaray aren't you?

Congrats mate. But on the flip-side, WHS with an ego boost

Pleasantly surprised that this is gathering pace now. Which player(s) would you put in the Cavani deal? I'd go with Essien, Torres, & Courtois on loan - he's going anyway, might as well sweeten this deal in the process

twitter is blowing everything out of proportion isn't it? Long gone are the days when transfer rumours meant looking at the BBC or Guardian gossip column once a day

Finally, after Crespo, Kezman, Shevchencko, Torres we may get to sing this "He scores when he wants, he scores when he waaants, Edinson Cavani! He scores when he wants"

Daniele de Rossi - deeper, cheaper, better

There are many sources linking strikers to Napoli. Torres is just one of them and definitely, Laurentiis will not have him top of the list. Gomez has been heavily linked at around 15mil. we've had this discussion already... You will say Torres to Napoli is feasible. I will come up with different ways it is not and then we will leave it. Few days later, I quote a random post of yours on this thread and we rinse and repeat. You can say that Torres to Napoli is nothing absurd but no need to call it nonsense etc when I don't agree with your opinion. Torres is surely not better than Dzeko or Gomez and Laurentiis definitely knows that. I will be happy if this deal does go through and it does make sense for all parties but only if Napoli are short of options. Big IF given that Dzeko, Gomez are all possible moves

You know where I stand on this. Aggressive posts unnecessary. Laurentiis has rejected Torres+Cash offer. He wants straight cash or other players. Many sources allude to this. Yes, we can increase cash and give Torres as well but there have been clear signals from Napoli that they are pursuing other strikers - Mario Gomez, Edin Dzeko, Mauro Icardi etc. So it's not just about Torres being able to handle Serie A which he should really but it's also about the strike-options that Napoli have other than Torres.

no. Benitez may accept but de Laurentiis is not an idiot Is Ramires absolutely needed in the squad though?

He also missed a penalty in the FA Cup final against CFC. One plus point

yeah. mostly people WANT this to go through Not sure whether it's likely to happen
