The quotes do not support the headline.

Think they do if you read the article-“Chelsea need more cover. Chelsea are two or three players light. They need at least three big-name players,” Nevin told Irish radio station Newstalk.“It’s just about getting it right. If they got Van Dijk and a central midfielder, they’d look alright.” opinion on wc?

If we sign a midfielder tomorrow he could be put into the squad against Spurs but that's to smart for the board to do 

The board stradegy in this market mostly is a shambles , sell Matic on 31st August ffs , don't sell or loan players until others are in place , schoolboy errors everywhere

Spurs lost Kylie walker.

Walker isn't a loss for Spurs as they already have ready-made replacements in Trippier and the young Walker-Peters.

This was linked on another forum yesterday. If there's even a hint of truth to that, it's clear corruption and Barca president Josep Bartomeu should be locked up in a prison cell like his predecessor Sandro Rosell.

From Coutinho to Paulinho. From Lamborghini to Nissan.

I saw this,Bartomeu is destroying what Cruyff and Laporte have builded. 

This is what Cruyff said on July 2014:

It's getting worse and worse. It's really sad to see this.

So we're close to sergi roberto, ox, cancelo, VVD? now. No drinkwater, I'm happy.

oh, and fuck Barca.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Barca wanted Paulo Dybala and Coutinho.

They got a bit of both; Paulinho

Brilliant, lmao

[Sideshow Luiz 2,310]

Adding Ox and Roberto would be massive for us, I think.  I believe that our "4th" midfielder will play a lot this season.  Having another box to box mid will allow us to not have to play Bakayoko and Kante 3 times in a week (when CL rolls around).

What is giving people hope that we'll sign players?

It's still just paper talk. 2 more weeks left of this shite.

Exactly. Those words do not support the headline. Nothing there talks about Pat tipping that we'll sign any players. He's just giving an opinion about what we need.

A nonsense statement by Cruyff, surely?

Are there two better team players, players whose  passing is excellent, whose contribution makes their teammates more effective and improves their team? Everybody in their right mind would wonder what qualifies me to question Johan Cruyff's opinion on football, but can anyone really question that, on this subject at least, my description of what those two bring is without doubt more accurate than the late great Johan's?

Kinda get what he said though. Under Guardiola Barcelona was more of a machine. They pulled together, everyone in that team had a specific role (apart from Messi) to suit the system and the team. 

With Neymar, Suarez and Messi there's more of an emphasis on individual brilliance  and less on team effort. Messi being pushed out wide to make room for Suarez changed the dynamic of the team because Messi does very little defensively and doesn't stay wide.

Neymar the same. That  puts more pressure on Barca's defense and midfield.

Completely agree with what you said, but still MSN is probably best attack in history of football. 

They were unplayable in their first season when barca won CL.

IN: Sandro/Telles, Sergi Roberto/Chamberlain, Cancelo/Cedric, Drinkwater
OUT: Diego Costa

Tbh this window can still turn out to be very good very easily. We just need only at least 2 more class signings to go from disaster to success and declare our squad genuinely upgraded, and we have plenty of time to do what's required. Squad management to this point has been questionable, yes, but by judging solely the transfer period and nothing else we are alright. Still time left, don't lose hope, we are Chelsea after all nothing is ever obvious. I can see twists coming to this tale and us being much more pleased with state of things next month.
