Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

Cabaye and Debuchy (they are good friends with hazard )

Just need to get this out.

I really hope people on here stop believing every story in every paper. Don't take into account the papers reputability every time, but instead, use common sense.

Example -

I'm reading a new rumour on Twitter right now which is - "RDM has told Chelsea he wants a deal for a new defender sorted by the end of next week & #CFC are willing to spend £15m on one. (Metro)"

How on EARTH would the Metro know the conversations between RDM and members of the board? Do they tap phone calls? Have spy cameras inside the building? Have they tapped the room with mini microphones under the tables? No, of course not!

Paper rumours are based on logical assumptions when they mention "[insert name here] has told [insert club name here's] board" blah blah.

Urgh.

Wait. Hold on. The media lie?

With all the problems going on at Rangers, I wondered whether anybody feels signing Alan McGregor would be a good move. He has good experience playing at a high level in the Champions League, and the ferocity and pressure of the Glasgow derby. He is better than Hilario and Turnbull as much more reliable backup to Cech. And a free agent (one assumes) he wouldn't be an expensive gamble. Others thoughts?

I believe it would be an amazing move if he's happy being back-up. (He'd definitely be good enough for F.A. Cup and Carling Cup games. Even games against teams like Wigan etc.)

I shit myself ever season that Cech will pick up a serious injury and we'll be left with the train wreckage of our backup keepers. Hilario's handling and distribution are poor and Turnbull has at least one mistake in him every game. Just the comfort of having a genuinely solid keeper behind Cech would be fantastic. As you said I'm sure he would get 10-15 games at least in the season and anything where Cech is injured.

We should of kept Cudicini. He was the perfect backup for Chelsea.

McGregor is good but I don't think he'll leave Rangers to play as a backup goalie.

I dont know if this has been mentioned but wouldnt jesus navas be good for Chelsea on the right wing?

He'd be absolutely class, unfortunately he suffers from severe homesickness so isn't available.

He was on too high wages for a backup goalkeeper.

He was almost signed when José was still in charge. I think he failed the medical due to his homesickness. It was much worse back then though, to the point where stress and anxiety induced seizures occured. He couldn't leave Sevilla without anxiety attacks and now he is playing at the Euros, so he must have gotten a little better.

I want Chelsea to get Clint Dempsey.

I have no idea if it would be a great move footballing wise, I couldn't tell you.

But just all the positive buzz it would create in the US media and everything it would be so awesome.

If Clint Dempsey isn't that good I won't mind but if he goes to MU or Arsenal or whoever and starts playing lights out and my gut instinct is proven true I'm going to be so dissapointed.

Who gives an actual fuck over the US media? You want us to sign a player solely because of media attention in the USA? Shocking.

As much as he was in great form last season, I would say no. His best position is in the CAM role and we have enough players for that role. More importantly though, he's already 29 y/o. We should be looking to get players younger than that.
