18 goals in your last 137 games (for Blackburn, Wigan and Bremen) will guarantee you a place in the Argentino team. And will keep Carlitos Tevez away from it, too Hahah. Believe it or not, but this lad has just been included in the premilinary squad for the WC

Yes, they played together, I mean they were in the same team, but it wasn't really a partnership you know, Falcao was the CF while Diego Costa was a winger. Anyway, impressive stats playing as a winger while living in Falcao's shadow - 20 goals and 15 assists in 46 games.

Great news! Fully deserved after an amazing season. He will win the Champions League trophy next season. As a player. As a captain. On the pitch!

My two cents on this story - I think he'll end up in a United shirt because I can't see Mourinho giving the LB spot to a 19 yo. Maybe in the future, yes, but not now, not in his 2nd season, not when he is in need of trophies. This is a place in defence, the most important part in Mourinho's philosophy, I think he will look for a proven left-back there, e.g. Filipe Luis, Coentrao, Ricardo Rodriguez. Also, with all his FFP talk and money management theories all season long, I can't see Jose spending that much on a youngester to be honest.

David Luiz <---> Diego Costa Torres, Ba, Mikel <---> New LB Moses, Josh, Kakuta, Marin, (Romeu), (Bertrand) + some money from Roman (25-30m) <---> New CM

Am I the only one who can't see this guy zapping through internet for more than, I don't know, 30 minutes a day??

Finally! Oleeeeeeeeeeeee

What a chance for Wigan in the last minute... Derby MUST finish the job at Wembley. Fuck QPR!

Except for Messi, and maybe Iniesta (and not because of their price tag, it's about their wish to be in Barcelona for life), every player out there is available for a certain amount of money. Especially if the buyer is Roman/Chelsea FC. Vidal, Pogba, Kroos, Witsel could be world-class targets if you really want some world-class players for that spot. Juventus are no world beaters, they are the best in Italy, but that's it, they don't have the reputation and the financial resources to resist when Chelsea, Madrid, Barcelona, City, Paris, Bayern will be knocking at the door. Same goes for Zenit to be honest - I don't know how many players will want to continue there because of what is happening in Russia (and I'm not talking only about yesterday's riot) . And regarding Kroos, the transfer is in his hands - if he wants to leave this summer, he will leave. Bayern will accept the bids as they are not that stupid to wait until next summer and lose him for free, just like Borussia did with Lewandowski. Some other targets that would be available for the right price are Marchisio, Ramsey, Rakitic, Gundogan. I even think Modric MAY BE available IF Madrid will fail to win Champions League. Those deluded fans and president at Madrid will be pissed off (again) after yet another season in wich they spend a fortune only to win jack shit at the end of it and probably we will see another buying/selling spree in the summer with them going for the brightest toys out there - Pogba, Suarez/Falcao/Aguero.

+1 I have a feeling next season's CB pairing will be Cahill - Ivanovic, with Branislav captaining the team.

Sorry guys, but labeling this poor player as "The new Lampard", "Lampard's successor" or whatever you might call him is an abomination and one of the biggest insults to a wonderful player and a Chelsea legend.

I read the news too, in El Mundo Deportivo and Punto Pelota, but they are quoting Lance!Net as their source. And as I know, Lance!Net is the equivalent of The Sun in Brazil... Still, if there is something true in this, I think €40m is good money for a player who won't be a regular starter at CB under Mourinho. Now let's do something smart with this money and buy Vidal!

For only €10m...

Simeone wants Angel Correa, but not as a CF. Angel is not a striker, he is an attacking midfielder/winger. Top argentino talent, just like Iturbe, Vietto, Lamela, Lanzini, Fede.

Fucking Malaga, played like it was the Champions League Final. Fucking pricks I hope they will get the job done at Camp Nou. Some games coming for Atleti - La Liga Final and Champions League Final

Get in!!!!!!! Come on Atleti

Fucking Aldewireld. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck And Courtois should have stayed in the net...

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Edin Dzeko. Yes please! :eyebrows:

I had "both teams to score & over 2,5 goals" on my coupon for this match. Thank you De Pauw. Lokeren was utter shite :ph34r2:

I see Wolfsburg have missed on Champions League football next season. Anyone thinks now is the best time for Chelsea to try and sign this guy? I'm a big admirer of him and his stats are impressive this season. Definitely one of the best left-backs in Europe right now, if not the best.

My bad. Paris it was.

Indeed, great steal from Anderlecht. Also that American guy with a Hollywood-esque name looks like a bright talent too (he's a midfielder I think?!)

You forgot Bas Dost (2010-2012) 52 in 73

You know I wasn't talking about throwing him into the first team right away. I would buy him now and try to find opportunities for him to play as much as possible. Maybe some extra money to Fulham to have him play in at least, I don't know, 60% of their matches in Championship next season. Or a loan to Boro where Karanka has already admittied he is willing to take more Chelsea youngsters. Or a loan to Vitesse with a specific clause in his contract - 100% regular starter on the right wing or as a playmaker. There are all sorts of possibilites, but first you need to buy him. I saw something about Wenger being interested, but nothing was said about money, asking price or anything like that.
