I thought he was the best player in the final

really, £1m more than Cuadrado

Mainly Atletico since he'd be an instant upgrade & Juve. Buffon can't play forever and he'd step right in as #1 in 2 or so seasons, maybe even 1. Man United if De Gea leaves (If i were him i'd wait for that case to become clear then wait for them to bit, which they would, surely.) All 3 teams have the potential to go far in the CL next season, and all could use Begovic more than us I believe. Despite these limited options he's chosen to go to a club where the current player in his position is basically certain to be playing week in week out for 10+ years. Why would you do that?

If I didn't support this club i'd be slandering Begovic for joining us lol. I mean really, he does obviously have the ability to be the #1 keeper for a lot of teams in the CL if only they needed him.

"let's sue the player who ensured we got European football next season"

BlueLyon has explained Arda better than I could. What I meant though when saying he's a Chelsea type player is the fact that while he's a flashy player with flair and plays further up the pitch, he's still a bulldog and will fuck you up if you try something cheeky on him / his teammate. When I think of atypical Chelsea players I think of players who will headbutt you in the face (Ivanovic, Ballack, Drogba, Costa), and I don't think any other player in Turan's position has this passion / personality / headbutting skills. It gives a team a cutting edge, sometimes, when the players are simply aggressive. That edge cuts both ways, though. There's being aggressive but staying on the pitch like Costa and then there's being aggressive and getting sent off most of the time like Frimpong. Turan falls into the former category.

I fail to see, how others fail to see, that Arda epitomizes what it means to be 'Chelsea'. Find me another player in his position that does too.

Shh, get back to working on your gambling addiction. sorry, drug addiction*

It's like agreeing to a one night stand with a girl, getting attached, and leaving 100 messages on her phone. its awful

Salah should legal action against them for harassment.

Fiorentina are honestly making themselves look like an even smaller club than they are. Has there ever been this much hooha over a loan? Probably not - because it's embarrassing.

who else is already committed to watching every game of his next season? *raises hand*

fuck yeah http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/07/pasalic-loan-to-monaco.html

If Allan is truly off to Napoli we've basically missed out on the next-but-possibly-better-than Mascherano, if Javier had more legs in him. If he got a proper shot in the national team everyone would take notice. He plays like he's on steroids and coke. If I were in charge of Juventus I'd try and retain Pogba, sell Vidal for £40m or thereabouts and replace him with Allan for what, £13-£16m at most i'd imagine. *goes to jerk off over Allan*

Baklava

If he plays further up than last season i imagine he'll avg like a goal every 3 or 4 games there. If you succeed in La Liga and Ligue 1 by 21 you're probably going to be decent elsewhere.

THIS GUY EXCITES ME SO MUCH.

generally i associate kits with 2 words on them with lower tier teams for whatever reason; this kit looks like it belongs in the 90s on a team wishing they were sponsored by Fly Emirates. we literally have the fucking word 'tyre' on our kit. even worse, it's plural. c'mon what the fuck? imagine Barcelona had "ironing board" on theirs or United had "ikea tables". it's not just not relevant to football, it's entirely irrelevant, and that's what makes it look bad

i wouldn't sign any player who supports Arsenal. i've too much paranoia & if they individually fucked up during our derby against them there's no way i could see it as being a mistake

Mourinho picks players based on attitude not stamina

It's a bit embarrassing how easily and low priced Southampton let their players leave

I've never seen a player go into a new team and play as horrifically as Cuadrado, bar Torres. His performances are not normal. Even in limited minutes, he's been worse than bad for us. If the same amount of moo-la had been invested into each player, which isn't the case, it'd be blasphemous to not instantly cut our losses with Cuadrado and give that 'hopefully you'll turn out good' spot to Salah. At least he did something last season.

no you freak, 1 person said he'd be a bloody upgrade, not that he's better than Cech, and the other post said that at the moment he's the right player to have considering age differences; the post then says that comparing both in their prime, Cech is better. weird post, saying 'are we all' lmao

do any Spanish-football fans know anything about Jesus Vallejo of Real Zaragoza? All I know is he's captain of his club at 18, plays centre-back, and 'potential Terry replacement' started being whispered in my head when i read a little article about him

put Ruben Loftus Cheek in the hole and, while admitting they're not even similar players, say Traore is going to be better than Turan? I think we should play Ake in the hole and i believe Colkett is going to be better than Salah
