Toli

He didnt chose us over Utd. Utd didnt want to pay the price Barca demanded, we did.

He is better at scoring goals than Willian...not better technically. Willian is better at dribbling also. Willian can also create situations on his own, Pedro is completely dependent on his team mates.

10 m more and we could have signed Alexis last season..unbelievable. not a bad transfer, but wont put us on another level. Pedro is massively overrated on this board.

It's done. 28 m + 2 m depending on performances. Will have his medical in the next hours http://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/pedro-chelsea-4440734 Should arrive in London today. Only details are missing http://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20150819/201303441688/el-chelsea-va-a-por-todas-por-pedro.html

Otamendi is not homegrown + older. Cant compare that all. If we cant sign Stones go in for Laporte. One of the best CBs in the future in my opinion. Amazing talent, his release clause is at 50 m though and Bilbao wont negotiate.

Christian Falk ‏@cfbayern 36 Min.Vor 36 Minuten Abdul Rahman Baba (21) from @FCAugsburg has passed the medical-check yesterday at @ChelseaFC @SPORTBILD Deal should be announced soon.

New deteails on the payment structure: we are paying 20 m euros upfront. 10 m are depending on how many appearances he will make + if we'll win titles http://www.augsburger-allgemeine.de/sport/fc-augsburg/Abdul-Rahman-Baba-schon-nicht-mehr-im-Training-id35108252.html

According to the Kicker it is 30 m euros. And even 25 m euros is a lot, if you consider that we bought Luis ( a world-class LB at that time) for less.

completely overpaying for him. shows how desperate we are. nowhere near worth 30 m after one good season in the Bundesliga. Hopefully he can cope with the pressure and the new league. for sure better than spending money on Rose. we are taking a gamble with him, but everything is better than watching Ivanovic playing as a RB atm.

why? Vidal only cost 37 m Euros, is one of the best midfielders in the world, while Stones only costs that much because he is homegrown. Vidal would clearly be an upgrade to what we have at the moment, especially we could turn in to a 4-3-3 with him. Matic-Vidal-Cesc would be incredible.

dont think so. its normal, that the president goes out and talks his player up to get the best possible transfer sum. we'll get Stones, if we really want him. quite sure about that still dont get, what we are doing in the summmer. no offensive signings in sight. wont retain the title nor do anything in the CL if we dont bolster up our squad. we looked shocking for the most part of the 2nd half of the season

he is a strong guy, fast, has a good attacking contribution, can run the whole game up and down. weaknesses are in the defensive area: positioning sometimes, sometimes also timing etc. still a bit rough in the defensive part but he is quite good at going forward. even though Luis at the moment is the far superior defender, but it is Mous secret why he hasnt gotten any chance to prove himself here.

20m already a lot of money for him. Dont know how much Everton would want, but 25 m would be the maximum for me. Has potential, but hasnt proven himself much yet. Of course the homegrown factor is important and I could see Everton demanding lots of bucks for him.

According to the Mirror, we are confident of landing Baba http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chelsea-transfers-filipe-luis-set-6081237

Gaitan is a good player, but he isnt nowhere near world-class nor much better than what we have at the moment. Would be quite expensive too as it seems. Would prefer Pedro over Gaitan any day.

Fee seems to be 24 m pounds and could rise to 27 m with add-ons, according to the Guardian.

United probably having one of the best midfield, if not the best in the league. Carrick, Herrera, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger. Could even count Mata too if they play 4-3-3.

Schneiderlin is having medical ahead of United transfer http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/33502604 United transfer summer so far has been impressive. Schneiderlin is a great signing.

he has been mediocre for 2-3 years. 30 m for a bench-warmer is definetely a lot of money. Also he'll be 28 in a few months, so there isnt much progression or re-sell value in him.

Dont get why we are loaning them out to Vitesse. loan them out in the EPL and they can gain experience in a strong leage and in the league where they will play for us, if they stay with our team. dont think that loaning them out to a weak leage like the Eredivisie is, will bring them forward. Izzy is really talented and I could see him having some minutes in our team but Mourinho is showing 0 confidence in our youth team

Darmian will sign for United. 18 m + 2 add-ons http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/eng/manchester-united-and-torino-have-reached-an-agreement-for-darmian-all-details-of-the-deal/ Great buy for United. One of the most talented RBs out their and better what they have at the moment (Rafael/Valencia)

According to the Mail he'll be on 140k per week http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3148862/Manchester-United-flop-Radamel-Falcao-takes-145-000-cut-wages-join-Jose-Mourinho-Chelsea.html

On Monday, Barcas council will decide if the transfer will go through or if they have to wait after the elections are held http://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/luis-enrique-presiona-por-arda-turan-gestora-avanza-reunion-lunes-4327316 http://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20150703/20695035665/turan-podria-ser-hoy-mismo-del-barca.html

Fiorentina thinks about teaking legal actions against Salah http://en.violachannel.tv/breaking-detail/items/club-statement-on-mohamed-salah.html

Pool on the verge of signing Clyne for 12.5 m . http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfers/11697503/Liverpool-transfer-news-Nathaniel-Clyne-12.5m-deal-almost-done.html Would be an amazing deal. one of the best RBs in the league. would have thought United would go for him. Solves the RB problem of both teams for a long time.
