different level 1,056 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Something tells me after EVERYTHING that's happened we're still not done doing business this window.

We finally got a good DM and our striker situation looks to be addressed in the summer.Posted in other thread Jose said "hopefully we are done" not a definite no to me. I think Matic will fill Essien void. Salah takes de Bruyne slot... so either someone to come in and take Mata squad spot [not necessarily a AM] or a left back IMO. Realistically though think itll be Zouma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bababoom 4,478 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I can guarantee you he's lying again.He also said we won't be signing Willian or any striker in the summer, he said managers lie all the time, he said he won't let Mata leave and he would tell that to the board, he also said Kevin was staying. David Luiz will also not play CDM ever under him according the the man. And a whole lot of other things. The only thing you should be trusting him is when he talks about other managers like Wenger...etc or the team we will be putting out.He didnt say "we are done" he said "hopefully we are" That is not a manager who has no intention of signing anyone Jesus Christ, not all at once...

However, most of the kids gears towards american football, than basketball, than its a split between everything else...Also, futbol has a negative reputation in the states as a pansy sport and with no personal glory to them.....Truth be told, I think the FIFA (video games)series is really helping out futbol in the states. Now, kids are more interested in the sport and their are more investors willing to invest in the young kids and resources...Also, every BPL futbol is on cable, so the interest will rise..The funny thing is the girls futbol team and youth levels are so developed in the states, but the men side was never cared for...Eventually, the sport will rise and the top athletes will change..

The Chels 2,502 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Mourinho: "Until the deadline we have to deal with things we are not expecting – like Juan [Mata] and [Mohamed] Salah – or making good decisions for loans. So, until the deadline, we have lots to think about and do." (Guardian)When a manager does a press conference, quite a bit of what they say is held back until the next day's newspapers and none of the papers leak it before then. Is it the post-camera interviews that they agree not to discuss till the next day or something? Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Jose has a presser at say 12pm and our stream stops at 12.30pm, Jose probably leaves around 1-1.30pm. Newspapers are embargoed though yes. I always find what he says to papers is different to TV. "Hopefully we are done this window" to TV.

It was more of a 'transfers press conference' than a pre-match one. To be fair the vast majority of those journalists (and I guess the fans too, including me) cared much less about the Stoke game details, and much more about Mata, Salah etc. The_Flash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 the Guardian article where he says we have to kind of be prepared for things happening we don't expect between now and deadline, and there being lots of work to do, leaves me with no doubt we have other targets. But also makes me think we could see more outwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AswinR 96 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Will be 4th choice after Hazard Oscar Willian, even maybe Schurrle.could play upfront but imo i think you are right....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Partridge 1,124 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Apparently Kroos is stalling in signing a new contract at bayern munich,His deal ends in 2015.United apparently interested.Pretty much a guaranteed league title every season and CL qualification, would he leave all that to play for a manager who is unknown in Europe? Maybe they will offer him £300,000 a week too.. Christo191 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 costa aint a realistic target. he woint join us now. dont know how people just cant understand this, that he WONT LEAVE Atletico this window. they are fighting for the league title, the copa AND the cl too. having their best season in years and he wont leave them now. summer, its another story, but now not at all.It's not a matter of understanding, but information; sources report he's got a release clause.In my experience, players don't think like that at all. If Chelsea made an offer that is high enough to literally make his life, he'd leave in a heartbeat. Professional players have to think about their career first, because they never know about the feature (form, fitness...). What if an opportunity like this never happens again in his career?!However, I do understand Chelsea and Atletico seem to have a good relationship, so you might have a point.

bababoom 4,478 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 So far in the market we have made a profit of about 20 million. Jose comments yesterday suggests that we're serious about FFP, if that's the case i have a feeling in the summer David Luiz will be sold. According to reports Barcelona are interested and would offer around £40 million for him, that would be a fantastic deal. Ba also looks to be off, we should get £6-8 million for him. This will give us about £60-70 millions to spend in the summer. Although I hope we don't sell Courtois because he's already world class and can be our keeper for the next 10 years, but if we do we'll make a huge profit.Jose is saying he wants to complete the 'puzzle' in the summer, this suggest we're going to spend at least 70+ million, which will bring in the likes of Shaw (£20+ million), Zouma (£10-15 million) and a striker (£25+ million). We've also been linked with Barkley, although i'm not sure about that, most likely paper talk. The futures looking bright, exciting times ahead. kellzfresh and sdrcfc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
