The Mak

He would not look near as good if he came here. One thing is to say it's a tougher league, blah blah blah, but we all know the first thing for Mourinho would have done would to get all of his attacking instincts into a nice little ball, crush it and fuck it straight out the window. I think he did the same with Cuadrado and it's just turned his brains to mush and now he looks like Bambi with a football.

Never change Henrique

In that case they can have 44.4 + Cuadrado! Hire me Roman!

We already have a large Spanish contingent in Azpi, Cesc, Costa and Pedro. It might be easier this year...worth a shot! More conceivable than getting Pogba I think anyway.

Go for Koké. Atletico cannot afford to turn down that kind of money.

Fuck off West Ham and your Social Benefit Stadium. Should not even entertain such an offer from the beggars.

Arriving into this thread like: Leaving like:

Well, they weren't exactly high at Dortmund last season either...perhaps he's changed his mind since their little turnaround towards the end of the season. Those quotes came out when they were still near the relegation spots I'd imagine!

Quite possibly, but another way to get a better contract is to simply leave for a club like Liverpool who can pay bigger wages due to the TV deal. We'll see I suppose. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/henrikh-mkhitaryan-to-liverpool-15m-bid-accepted-by-borussia-dortmund-juventus-remain-interested-10465247.html

Mkhitaryan is quoted as wanting to leave though? Well, according to his agent. Anyway, the main thing is for Juve not to get Mkhitaryan so they're left with Cuadrado!

City have some of the best book fiddlers in the world. Fined last year for not complying with FFP, sell players for a loss, barely have a fanbase in the UK (forget about outside it) and their sponsors are from their owner. What a joke. If they can spend that amount we should be able to spend more.

Talk of Liverpool getting Mkhitaryan, which is very good new in our efforts to get rid of this guy. They wanted him before going for Cuadrado so hopefully Liverpool actually get Mkhitaryan.

That's it, Tancredi the jinx has done it. It's definitely not happening now.

Wouldn't you think that if Roberto was 1000% sure Stones did not hand in a transfer request he would just come out and say it instead of beating around the bush? Before Pedro I was convinced he was staying at Everton, but now? It seems like Granovskaia is back in the driver's seat and she's taking no prisoners...

What would be the point in having Ramires when we'd have Pogba though? He barely plays as it is, he would never play if Pogba was here.

My word, Willian's stats are depressing as hell...

I don't understand, there should be clubs lining up to take him off our hands...

£39m yeah?

That is bullshit! Wanted him to go straight in my team

Sky Sports now reporting that Juve are interested, but I think they're just using the same sources as the Express and ESPN, so nothing new really. Can just hope we actually make some money back on this waste of space. He is the worst signing ever behind Torres.

I can see him taking 17 even though Baba has it. Remember when Zouma was supposed to be 3 last year and it was changed to 5 when Luis came? Perhaps not, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Nice to see our entire right side* all play together in the Spanish national team! Not to mention Costa too. (*Surely it would make even more sense to move Azpi to the right now considering all of his compatriots play there? It can only increase chemistry down the right, which has been a weak area exploited by everyone we face.)

Welcome Pedro! We finally have a attacking midfielder besides from Hazard who has the capability to get a considerable amount of goals. Just what we needed, great stuff! I knew we could do it! Now please take care of my second wish and ship Cuadrado out! (@Jason, it's also poetic justice that you're creating this thread considering your 'it's all tabloid BS guaranteed' comments! )

Hey was the Chelsea website and social media along with Pedro's just hacked? Definitely not happening! Just wait till we see the clearly photoshopped pictures of him in a Chelsea shirt!
