Always with no detalis at all. He's a clown but he probably knows some about Chelsea.Martin Lipton (From DM, also believed to be quite connected to the club) says Griezmann is not a target.It would actually not surprise me if Griezmann is not a real target, the sources for this are Telegraph and Guardian, those two proved to be not very reliable about Cheslea in the last few years.If it's true that we aren't after Griezmann then who ARE we after? He was really the only player we've been seriously linked with so far.Weird how we aren't heavily linked with anyone like we were last summer. Slightly concerning.

Except for maybe Cesc from what I remember. Only players were hearing about now are Falcao (who's been shit for a year) and Rob Green (who many here think isn't even good enough to trust as our backup).

People like Rob Beasley and Martin Lipton may cover Chelsea a lot but that doesn't mean they are right all the time. Heck, they could even be abusing that privilege at times to gain attention.

Sheva. 5,373 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 One signing I was actually looking forward to. He might not be elite level yet, but he's very promising and already a good goal scorer.At the moment Chelsea only have 4 AM's, so I'm still confident someone will be bought - unless if Mou is going to use Remy as the 5th option.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 This always gets said but I don't quite know why. He's very reliable about most things Chels, he throws out the occasional curve ball but generally he's reliableMore about his crappy attitude than his reliability. At least for me... nadavTKL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonsFinest 692 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Dunno why, but we have seen the Mata and Fabregas deals to be something of a real surprise, because we knew about them one or two days before it was announced, so unless SSN are reporting it, I really doubt any sourt of twitter info. Fact is, everybody can spread a twitter rumour by just putting a few brackets and hashtags to make it look legit. Muzchap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see who knows best.If Griezmann aint coming i think the next option should be Di Maria (unless Reus is available), maybe with Cech going the other way. 3rd option for me would be Fekir and than Sterling.Btw@1RobBeasleyNo matter what you see or read - Pogba's not coming to Chelsea either!!!!

That's just playing on people who desperately sit,refreshing their computers waiting for any speck of transfer news only to give them crumbs. Still doesn't take away from his reliability on big stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 His Bale tweet was something like Carlo to City, Clement to Sunderland, Bale to Chelsea! I took it as a wind up along the lines of "jumping a sinking ship"Regardless I still find him reliable with Chelsea stuff. I read his twitter feed yesterday and he was posting pics of the headlines/stories he broke before anybody else ulsterchelsea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Please help rate Griezmann vs ReusReus is more creative, (more key passes and vertical through passes per game) reus takes freekicks, corners, long range shooter, and better crossing. Griezmaan is a better finisher, has great movement like Schurrle to always get chances, is a left-footed player who can cut in from the right and shoot like hazard does on the left. They have about the same strength. Both haven't played on the right wing much so I don't know if they'll suffer like (Mata, KdB, schurlle, Salah) whose all were forced to play in their least favorite attacking position. 1chelsea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
