those are backups and pretty good backups. dont want to be spending a f**kload on a backup unless we plan to sell Oscar, which would be a horrid idea. first choice in mid - Oscar, Fabregas, Matic. backup: Ramires, Mikel, Tiago, Van Ginkel . oh theres Chalobah, Loftus Cheek, Lewis Baker as 8th,9th,10th options. now if we sold Ramires AND Mikel then could see us going for a mid but Jose said Ramires forms part of the stability that is required for the team next season, so basically ruled out his sale. As for Mikel, he said only a couple of days back he wants to see the remainder of his contract out (3 years) and wants to stay even longer!

DI Marzio said 18-20m Euros

Mikel quotes today mate said he intends to stay the full 3 years remaining on his contract and even longer. as for Pogba to Chelsea the hype was built by a Goal.com article that is supposed to banned from this site, so surprised it got so far !

good just was lol'ing at 60m figure and this didnt even take into consideration the wages factor. we never went for cavani when such a fee was involved, doubt this was going to happen. maybe in a couple of years though ! happy with Fabregas, Oscar and Matic ....backups as Van Ginkel, Ramires, Mikel then the forgotten Chalobah, Roben Loftus Cheek as 7th, 8th choices ofcourse lol

delayed issue probably regarding the buyout clause and understandable . Atletico agree to a fee of 31,999,999 no taxes involved. Once we activate buyout clause, taxes come into effect - Costa has to deposit with Atletico the 32,000,000 plus taxes which would mean total deal in excess of 45m GBP President of Atletico is a right cunt, give them Courtois for 3 years and will not negotiate with us which is why he keeps on saying 'our players will only leave if the exit clause is met'

and why would Monaco let go of him ?

wow some peeps actually think Monaco will let him go of him AFTER 1 year that easily when he cost 45m Euros. smh

James Rodriguez cost AS Monaco : €45m, now worth €65-70m easily

once you activate the clause taxes come into effect. If Atletico were not downright cunts, and agreed to selling Costa for 31,999,999.99 we would not have to pay tax.

good. rather have the experience of Filipe Luis in a Champions League final than paying 34m plus (42m Euros) and 100k per week in wages to a teenager. Good player but overpriced

not unless Ramires or Oscar are going to be sold. Mikel was wanted by Inter but they now seem favs to land M'Vila and Ramires is well a Mourinho favourite; and as for Oscar took out 2 time POTY, latter would be even more idiotic to get rid of.

will probably end up as a Galactico or stay at Juventus but nice to know he chose the only team in London with a European Cup in the PL

This.

French reporter Frederic Hermel, who writes for L'Equipe, said that Karim Benzema will not go anywhere "no matter what happens this summer." "Karim Benzema is going to stay with Real Madrid. He doesn't want anything else, he's a Real Madrid fan and he knows that it would be a step back to join any other team. No matter what happens this summer, Benzema is staying. Real Madrid want a midfielder and a backup striker for Benzema, but even if Suárez was to sign, Benzema would stay." It should also be noted that Frederic Hermel sometimes contributes to Real Madrid TV's match reports, and he's obviously close to Karim Benzema and Raphäel Varane.

they might be going for Ricardo Rodriguez who is statistically miles better

not to mention we play a completely different game to Spain .

for 2 games he hasnt performed and hes shit? Ronaldo was fucking missing against Germany - shit as well ?
