Deadline Day!

[CRonaldo 55]

Kakuta refused Olympiakos to go to Marseille... and he ends in Vitesse.

Should have accepted Olympiakos

cant see any movement from chelsea now

cant see any movement from chelsea now

I felt this for the past few days.

[The Big Drog 1,110]

Listening to Dave Basset on SSN and it's clear that the only games he has seen/can remember of Maicon were the two against Spurs. Ridiculous that they have someone so entirely oblivious to football outside of England on their panel.

[The Skipper 20,593]

I know he's a great talent but it's still a risk relying on only Torres and Sturridge.

A risk we're going to have to take. The season ahead allows us to be a little experimental. Hazard is/was a risk, so is Oscar, Marin, Moses etc.

This is the season where we can see whether Torres is good enough, and whether Daniel has the mettle to step up if Torres messes up.

Ridiculous. It's not even the fact that Essien is (potentially) leaving, it's the fact that we'd be willing to loan him to a top 4 rival that's pissed me off.

Really hope it's not true.

I hope so too mate it would be bad buissness! We loaned them benayoun and they beat us in the PL!

[YuriZhirkov 106]

Is both Essien and Benayoun leaving before Malouda?? What a joke..

[Melanicus 5,208]

Essien loan to Arsenal would destroy all good business we've done this summer.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Can't see the club being that stupid to actually loan Essien out to Arsenal. Maybe another club but not Arsenal.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Essien loan to Arsenal would destroy all good business we've done this summer.

For sure. Because Essien is so great he will make Arsenal title contenders.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Just a few more hours Chelsea, don't fuck it up now.

[Joker10 946]

They have Jose Callejon, who is a proven goal scorer

And i'm assuming your 'Friends' are American, yes?

First part: we have moses.

Not comparing our strikers and goalscorers to Real Madrid quality but from a sheer number standpoint we match up.

Second part:

Yes some are Americans and while the others are Brazilians. i have chatted with Barca fans on forums, i have also seen Montoya quite a bit.

I hope you are not implying since they are Americans you would disregard their opinion. Anyone in the world can be passionate about a club no matter where they are and whatever their nationalities may be.

Anyway i really don't wish to discuss Montoya any further, i don't think he would be any where near the Spanish NT if he wasn't from La Masia. I'll just leave it at that.

[Superblue 6,370]

Essien can only move if we buy a replacement. Is the French international rumour M'Vila??!!

And to Arsenal? What happened to a £8m Fenerbache bid?

[YuriZhirkov 106]

According to Mirror is Sturridge not in the squad! Can anyone confirm?

Fenerbache failed to qualify for Champions Leauge, I guess that is the reason.

[Melanicus 5,208]

For sure. Because Essien is so great he will make Arsenal title contenders.

Not because of this. You just can't simply loan player to your rival. Maybe sell, but not fucking loan.
