Special Juan

Apparently United are going to shift Blind to LB this season.....some buy that Luke Shaw was.

Him or Brenda to be sacked first.

You will be ready to end of your life if you read Twitter regarding transfers.

What's also amazing is how some think we are also a million miles behind City before a ball is even kicked, just because they have spunked 49M on an un-proven English winger. This Chelsea side don't need mass overhauls like United, we need players that adapt and fit the system but at a price that is both sensible for the club and fits our direction and vision from a season that we lifted the PL title with ease. Just for the record we are 15 days into the transfer window with Begovic and Falcao already done, so that trumps your 'Without signing anyone' statement straight away. If you want quick fire signings to satisfy your needs play FIFA or FM.

If the wind got up he would be clean shaven.

They are only good buys if they prove it and do it. MS is a top player, but up to now he's been a top player for Southampton, now lets see how he fairs with a big price tag on his back and the mass expectation of United fans.

The words 'His decision' put us in great stead, he isn't getting in ahead of Messi, or Neymar, he starts here no problem at all.

Seems like it's hotting up with PSG and Di Maria

Medical right now.

Now that Palmeri has mentioned it we clearly aren't interested.

Bring it Falcao, come on lad.

Please stop it with the personal insults now please.

As a club we do not need to go to an extent like United have, it's not needed and would of been totally pointless. Last year they looked thin and lacked ideas, we on the other hand looked dangerous, very efficient and won the league with plenty of points to spare. Now that is not to say we don't need to strengthen, we do, we have and will continue to do so IMO. What we have built just needs a lick of paint, United need a nigh on full development to catch up to those who are well ahead, and rightly they are doing it, whether it works who knows, but as for us we are in great shape, both with squad shape and size and with Falcao and Begovic brought in I'm very pleased what I see. I expect us to bring in a couple more, with a few players going, and I also expect a really polished Chelsea come the start of the season. The club won't be pressing the panic button and nor should the fans.

How much have the coughed up for him?

One page and not one moan yet.... :fainthv9:

See I'm on the other side of things, I can't see us entering into any negotiations with any of those players mentioned. We have a great attacking unit as it stands, these players mentioned would of meant huge amounts, possibly budget busting fees to get them here. Yes we have money but we are now a very careful planning club to what it used to be like, and looking from that point of view is also a reason we wouldn't entertain the coin that City have paid for Sterling. I think we are looking for clever signings in two ways, players that can adapt to a certain system and also offer strength to an already healthy looking squad without having a 40-50M man sat getting splinters on his arse.

He has taken the #1 shirt.

What a fucking great signing.

This word 'settling' is another word that keeps appearing....How does anyone know 100% that we were talking with AG, Reus or Bale? How do we not know that Pedro wasn't a target at the beginning of summer?

It's a real shame that people don't have as much faith in our potential dealings as they do Man City winning everything next season.

I will change the thread name to....."Who's next to slit their wrists on TC"

49M is just something quite unbelievable.

Would be great to log on here some day and read good debate and positive posts instead of trailing through shit loads of pages with people talking shite after shite.

No, Patrick needs to be on loan again with a PL team this time, and bringing him in as third choice would be pointless.

Welcome to the world of a buy out clause.
