Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Don't think Moreno is acceptable either. He's got great potential but don't think he's ready to be relied on as a starter. I feel he's too small and weak to just come in and adjust to the PL right away. Rodriguez would be my choice if we can't get Luis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Well, ABOLA says that Mourinho is looking at alternatives for Filipe Luis. On the list there is: Fábio Coentrão (Real Madrid), Moreno (Sevilha), Davies (Swansea), RodrÃguez (Wolfsburg) and Rojo (Sporting).http://abola.pt/nnh/ver.aspx?id=487165Looks like someone has called his friends at ABOLA to put some extra pressure on Atletico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDY 1,290 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Surprised none of the bigger teams have been linked with Marcos Alonso yet, one of the most underrated players in the league for Sunderland last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safir Zawad 54 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Filipe Luis is a great player but I would prefer Ricardo Rodriguez. Hope Liverpool don't snap him up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidzeret 2,257 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 If we end up with Rodriguez, Mourinho is most likely to give the starter spot at LB with RR as back-up. Don't think he sees him as a starter. That's not good news if we want to unlock Hazard's full potential. Hope we get Felipe Luis as he is definitely a nailed on starter if we get him.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Luis's age isn't offensive and shouldn't be taken so. He's a very good LB and I don't even use RR in there, I just use this as me stating that Luis is a super player who has stacks of experience and can offer us a load.We didn't know what Azpilcueta would become, we do now. Let's wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacika 188 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Luis and van Anholt would be nice combination for LB... I would love to see that, and van Anholt to get 20 games next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amin Sarmadi 24 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Chelsea have offered €15 million for Atletico Madrid left-back Filipe Luis but the Spanish club will only allow the player to leave if his €24m release clause is met.Source: Marca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterfall 893 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Cmon atletico don't be a jerk, you had courtois for free the last 3 seasons.Loan fees + wages, so they paid a lot of money.

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 15m euros? No wonder they are rejecting it. I thought it was £15m, we are lowballing them for one of the best LB in Europe last season. Also Rojo is not even that good, really hope we don't get him especially at the same price as Luis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chels 2,502 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Anyone know when the players are supposed to return for pre-season training? Would have liked Filipe Luis done by then to give him a full pre-season to adapt to the team. I think the Atletico players are returning to training on Monday although Luis has apparently already burned his bridges with them, so it will be interesting to see what happens.

Even if the date is slightly off, it will definitely start next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Filipe Luis is likely to remain at Atlético de Madrid, at least if there is no significant change on the first offer made by #CFC. (Marca)The clause in the Luis' contract is fixed at a figure slightly higher than €24m and for Atlético that figure is not negotiable. #CFC (Marca)Atlético's anger is doubled by the way Filipe communicated his decision to not accept an improved contract and make clear he wants to leave.Filipe Luis' attitude has left him in a difficult situation - on Monday he'll be obliged to turn up at #Atletico & start pre-season training Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays in Sporting in a CB position. He can't play for CHelsea in the LB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
