Antoine Griezmann

[Pizy 18,850]

Maybe because he writs his tweets like a complete idiot. And sometimes he writs stuff like "Bale to Cheslea", "Mandzukic to Chelsea". 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.

OR maybe the journalists don't have a clue on what they are reporting/we're good at keeping things under wraps.

That's most likely the case, but you'd expect some whispers here and there with SOME truth to them.

Pretty much every player we've bought recently we've heard rumblings about prior to them coming. 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).

I like his first name.

I guess it depends on which source you want to believe. 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.

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.

But the story came from Spain originally, especially from El Confidencial and Kike Marin which are very reliable as far as I know from Cesc/Diego Costa saga last summer.

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 reliable

More about his crappy attitude than his reliability. At least for me...

Not sure how a crappy attitude lessens a man's reliability but each to their own

[LondonsFinest 692]

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.

You're right, forgot about it. 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

@1RobBeasley

No matter what you see or read - Pogba's not coming to Chelsea either!!!!

[Pizy 18,850]

I really want him now. Will be very disappointed if we don't sign him.

Well when he advertises for a whole day on social media that he has some HUGE news and a BIG transfer told to him exclusively by Jose, and he keeps building it up and in the end it turns out to be something silly like Josh McEachran going out on loan which everyone already knew and he'd made the entire thing just to gain followers, then his perceived reliability is obviously damaged.

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.

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
