Rumoured Lucas Moura

[Severinb 309]

Every transfer this season expect mata have been let downs its no just toonight!

[Marvin123 484]

Thats fair enough, as been said in here before it shows the intent we have to bring in top class young players. Happy that we have seemingly realised at last thesort of player we should be chasing and eagerly looking forward to summer. Tonight will be a major let down for anyone expecting any last minute wonder signings

I agree! It should be an interesting summer transfer window! I can only see maybe a slight chance of willian tonight nothing else

Sao Paulo can go fuck themselves!

That's their right to say no.. Why insult them for that ?

[manpe 10,861]

Especially with them not having time to find a replacement.. Sao Paulo is right to deny us unless unrealistic money is offered.

Fuck avb we will not qualify f

Calm down. This is why we are fighting for the top4 spot, not for the title. Games like the Swansea one will happen from time to time. Our captain and leader was out of the game. Our 2 main midfielders were out of the game. Our best striker isn't at the club and our top goalscorer has returned from injury recently while Swansea are on top of their game.

Of course, these are all just tiny excuses and we should've won there easily there but this is the reason we are fighting for a top4 spot not title. Look at it from a brighter side - now AVB knows how shit some players are and has shown it to Roman. Expect a fat transfer budget in the summer and big signigs

I thought summer transfer period is the last one before FFP come into place?

Had a look in wikipedia. Apparently FFP is on already, except the rules will come to force fully in 2015. 2012-2013 should be the first year with clubs financial books under FFP regulations.

I read something interesting though:

"In response, Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay insisted that the club were in "a strong position" to meet UEFA's initiatives and were on course to halve their losses during the following financial year, having reduced their player’s bonus scheme [...]"

that explains the all-round laziness we see

We made contact but Sao Paulo, said no negotiations today!

Bullshit. Contact was made weeks ago, but the player decided to stay at least until summer.

Chelsea to wait on Lucas Moura until the summer

Contact was made on Deadline Day, but the São Paulo youngster looks set to head for Europe this summer.

The Blues late approach this window was too late for a deal to be pushed through and with São Paulo still waiting to confirm the capture of Nilmar, the Brazilian side were unwilling to release one of their most important attacking options.

Chelsea were quiet in the January window, signing just Gary Cahill, Kevin de Bruyne (immediately sent on-loan) and young striker Patrick Bamford, despite the sale of Nicolas Anelka.

Yet, it may not be a case of cut-backs with talk of summer deals for both Lucas and the cup-tied Willian (Shakhtar) being negotiated.

Lucas Moura has been in fine form once more at the start of this season, scoring for fun as São Paulo continue their 100% record in the State Championships without new signings Jadson and Osvaldo.

With each passing match, it seems Lucas is determined to bolster his reputation, so it is easy to see why André Villas-Boas is keen on moving quickly.

I can't see us signing both him and Hazard in the summer and I would honestly take Eden over him any day.

As long as we are stuggling in the league I expect to see a lot more stories linking us with every good player in the world.

Why not? if the club wants real changes for next season, its realistic. Its alot of money, but you never know with Chelsea.
