Special Juan

It's basically pending, we are doing the right thing by just holding it off as it sounds like we could have the replacement within hours.

If we get Barella he won't be going back, he will be coming this window.

You learn fro mistakes, hopefully this is the board learning.

Sounds like the offer we have made has now made Cagliari shit themselves and now they are throwing mad money at players.

Apparently he's been great at collecting dirty pots and dishes in the canteen.

The weekend was a disgrace, we had numerous games at 12:30, numerous at 3pm and then 5;30...the Sunday was a mess too. Fucking did my head that Man United televised once again, stick a team on that will actually be a good shock.

Hopefully this is the start of fresh new and young signings and we are going to blow the living shit out of the January window.

Cagliari all of a sudden are activating release clauses, it's Nandez from Boca Juniors.

If we are signing Barella, he will go back to Madrid.

Birsa from Chievo is going to Cagliari

Simon Phillips very confident a striker is coming in. Plus, sounds like Morata out is on.

Offer of #Chelsea for Nicolò #Barella objectively difficult to reject (apparently exceeding 50m £!). For this reason, Cagliari accelerated to Nandez del Boca (it is about payment mode), while Birsa will replace the injured Castro. Stretcher towards London

Nothing to say we aren't looking.

Probably the xmas cracker Bruce Buck pulled with Marina.

I don't think so, I think it's more of a case we don't let either slip through the net, agree a deal with both and sign one, it can happen.

I think the 'close to agreeing a deal with both' will be us covering all bases, we won't get both but 1.

Must be close to signing a replacement as we wouldn't keep Monaco/Cesc waiting the length of this transfer window.

Fabregas has agreed a 3.5 year deal with Monaco, he's now back in London as we need to find a replacement.

SSN breaking Cesc agrees deal to join Monaco.

Why are players like these two still on our books, neither anywhere near the level we need. Sell them FFS.

Uh Oh Pochettino making noises, that won't go down well.

Klopp blaming the wind
