Off to get re-united with my duvet and pillow!

Been told that Chelsea are close to signing Sakho from PSG - 14M.

Been told that Neymar has a clear choice between Chelsea and Real Madrid.

Meeting with both set of officials next week.

Tbh I'm getting tired of the Neymar Debacle,If he doesnt sign for us so be it,same goes for Aguero.

We should be looking at trying to sign Bryan Ruiz he can play as a Winger, Second Striker and Striker,And he will considerably cheaper than the two I mentioned above.
Surprised no-1 has been linked with him and he's only 25.

Sakho is a solid defender getting him for 14mil would be very good for a 21 years old, can also play left back as well as Cb I would welcome his arrival.

Off to Maths revision

Im a big fan of Sakho, the type of big, strong, no nonsense CB that would contrast nicely with Luiz. Plus it would psss tge Arsenal fans off. But like I said before, I think a new CB should only be brought in of BOTH Bruma and Raj go on loan again

Rajkovic won't be near the first team I don't think.

I've decided now to not believe any transfer rumours involving us until it is signed and sealed. I've got my hopes up about so many players over the past month only for the story to change.

KDL

You and me both, buddy.

I;m big fan of Sakho and agree with gazza that another defender (with Alex struggling for regular fitness and Brana seemingly preferred at RB now) but if we were going for a young CB I;d have liked us to have tried for Phil Jones. He'd have been an excellent long term replacement for JT, would be a homegrown player and plays DM (which Luiz doesn't no matter how many times people say he does)

I;d be delighted with Sakho tho. excellent defender with plenty of experience for his age.

Our defence is still our strongest area of the side tho and I;d like us to get the manager and some midfield/forward players in.

If we need another CB then why not go for Scott Dann. He is a better defender than Jones and has potential to be a great player for us. Plus he would cost only 10m.

If we can't get him then get his partner Roger Johnson. Fantastic player and also a Chelsea fan. We need more home grown players.

Maybe because Terry, Lampard and Cole are the only decent english players we have. All three of these players also have a few years left under there belt.

If we are going to have a big squad then we need more home grown players. We need 7 or 8 home grown players and right now we have 5.

All 4 of these players (Kakuta, Bruma, Van Aanholt, Lalkovic) will be on loan or playing for the reserves. We need more Home grown players over the age of 21.

I have no problem with foreign players. All what I am saying is that every squad has to have 8 home grown players, so why don't we get 8 home grown players that are over the age of 21 and who can make an impact on our season?

By the way I don’t think there is any better CB available out there that will cost less than Dann.

Neymar has confirmed his desire to stay in Brazil.

Apparantly Aguero's agent has said that he will only move to one of Chelsea or Madrid. Decision to be made next month.

Anderlechts manager have said that Lukaku will be sold but ONLY once they have found a suitable replacement.

Can't imagine Alex staying if we get both Sakho AND VDW..

Neymar thought he was supposed to be an ambitious player.
KDL Rajcovic is highly rated in Holland and is pretty experienced with nearly 100 appearances. If we are willing to go for Sakho and Dann who are similar CB's than Rajkovic should be food enough as well. Remember he's not THAT young anymore as well - in fact he's 22 turning 23 next season

Forget Neymar, although he may just be saying that because that big final hasn't happened yet, so he wants everyone to know he'll be putting in maximum effort for that game.
Either Aguero, Sanchez, or a proper winger. Also, if Kun goes to Real then maybe go back to that idea of Higuain for £12M, even if it means saying farewell to Didier.
Shame about Lukaku, really hope we'll still get him somehow.

Glad to see they've finally changed the member page.Now if you comment twice on an article it shows tge second comment and if no-one replies it says 'no replies'. And it's showed in order people reply, not that you post

Don't know what to say about Rajkovic. He wasn't ceap by any means, but a new CB will seal his fate, and more money wasted on a young player at the club who we never play

He's a good CB shame if we let him go without ever giving him a chance
