Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

Well you know that there were players like Altidore, Huntelaar, van der Meyde,...super talented but they never made it? All Im saying is that there might be quite opposite. If Isco joins Barca/Rm in summer and he doesnt get the chances, while Ola stays in Benfica for while and then moves to big club that has place for him in starting eleven and becomes great player? Sure he wont be new Messi (while Gotze, Hazard -if they fill the potential can become), but you cant have 10 Messis in your team anyway. So, if John becomes next Bale, Silva, Ribery class player, I would think of him as class player. He plays for Benfica day in day out, regular CL games every year, good conditions to evolve, works with great board who produced several talents etc. If he will train and work hard, stay on ground, he has all chance to be starter for any top team. If Isco pics wrong club or gets careless like Balotelli, then he wont be that good despite being bigger talent than John. I think the situation will be much different in twi years time from now...

And cant agree that Holland doesnt have players on wings; Leroy Fer, Narsingh and Wijnaldum are all good talents along with John...

Besides Hazard IS more winger than #10, but he plays different role here. Gaitan might be winger, but he is similar to our cams already; small, good passer, dribbler. If we go after winger, he should be something we dont yet have like Bale (realy fast and much taller than Mata, Hazard) or stronger wingers with good technique)

Leroy Fer is a central midfielder, Narsingh is a natural winger I'll give you that and Wijnaldum is a #10 but can operate on wings. Isco won't get careless, hes not like Balotelli, so to suggest that is madness. Hes a down to earth guy, very humble and has a very big future ahead of him. Sure if he moves and doesn't get as many games (would find it ridiculous why would any club buy such a talented player not to play him) John might get ahead of him but I doubt it. Balotelli hasn't even thrown his career away yet, Michael Johnson is the worst case scenario. I'm sure we won't see something like this again though.

When did you meet Isco and get all chummy with him?

Oh we met one day in Spain....

Na I follow him on twitter and I've translated a whole load of stuff using google chrome, he seems down to earth, not like some of these retarded footballers who tweet mad shit constantly like Joey Barton. Obviously thats not enough to be 100% sure but I'm sure he isn't like certain idiots. Hes probably got a similar personality to Matas I'd guess.

If you don't care for the youth setup or who's on loan by all means I understand the interest in other club's players. For me Chelsea should avoid anymore massive transfers from now on especially in this window where the prices skyrocket. With a new TV deal coming to the EPL, many clubs in other leagues will be looking to cash in on their stars to clear their wage books to get in line with FFP. Something this club is already doing. They already have players to take Lampard's spot on the roster next season. Are they a good fit is up for debate for some. For me it's McEachran hands down. They can strengthen the striker position by bringing Lukaku back and pushing Torres to third choice. Defensive midfielder? There's four to five available players there starting next season. Cole is re-signed. I really like Isco and Benat but on second thought there's really great loanees out there and they are already on the books and I'm sure that's the club's thinking as well.

M'Vila close to sign a 3 years deal with the Rubin Kazan in Russia. (11,5M € + 2,5€)

Idiot...

It's just so sad to see a guy just throw away his career like that. He needs some mentors or some shit, such an idiot.

[mediator 2,026]

Agree, just like Witsel and Hulk...

[Spike 12,049]

What do expect from a guy that goes around beating up kids?

I never rated him.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Mame Diouf. Yes he is ex-manu but he is on fire this season in Bundesliga. Would be worth a punt, no?

I've been paying attention to him since last season, he's doing very well, not sure we would even consider him though.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Rumors that Liverpool will sign Coutinho from Inter for around 8m. Excellent signing for them if true.

Can't afford to saturate the team with youth. With lamps leaving, it only leaves cole a JTs experience.

Who are the 5 DMs that will be capable?

We need a new leader in the midfield/attack region. That's where someone like modric or Fellaini would come in handy. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for incorporating the youth into the team, but too much youth too fast can be a downfall

[Miguelito 459]

Hes a promising player, I wouldn't say a top talent yet but if there was one player at Benfica I'd like us to sign it would either be Matic or Gaitan.

The funny thing is we used to have matic. I always thought he was very very good and I wanted us to give him a chance. He went as part of the Luiz deal and fair play to him for doing well at benfica

[BlueLyon 9,359]

rumour: Zaha to ManU for 20mio...

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

I don't see the big deal with Zaha. I think Victor Moses is a similar player and no worse than him.

[cadenza666 221]

zaha has weak stats and theyre paying 17m for him...then SAF has the nerve to talk about us overpaying for Hazard. hypocritical f**k

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

I doubt they'll pay over £15m for Zaha... I'm interested to see how he does in the PL, if he can adapt, he'll be a great signing. Bit of a gamble, though.

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

I've been paying attention to him since last season, he's doing very well, not sure we would even consider him though.

As for Mame Diouf, a mate of mine, who is Hannover supporter told me that he this striker would be inconsistent as fuck and only gets so muhch playing time cos he was such a prestigious signing, but he and most Hannover fans rate Ya konan higher and don't think Mame Diouf is even good enough for Euro, league even though he scored some stunners, he is just so erratic and wasteful.

As for Zaha i am glad we do not pay that much for him, sure he is one of the better players in the cs but there are players with better finish, speed and technique than him at his age that would not cost much more, but he is english and that obviously is worth a lot to ManU. Fergie might rate him, cos he ripped 2012s ManU to shreds and humilated them in every single way when crystal palace played them in the cup.
