I like Newcastle cause they have a Chelsea player

Reports in Italy seem to think Chelsea are massive favourites for Pastore, Italian media are generally pretty reliable, reporting Vidal to juve when bayern were saying he was theirs, Ibra transfer last year ect. We will see though, not sure he fits in a 4-3-3.

2 players to sign in 8-10 days says gourlay. Probably Romeu and Lukaku but Romeu cant sign while he's away so maybe it's Lukaku and Pastore, their owner does say he'll be sold in 8-10 days

The times think man utd are going to buy Joey Barton

Chelsea v Thailand all stars

Hope to see a line up close to full strength in first half

Cech
Ivanovic Rajkovic Terry Cole
Mikel
Mceachran Benayoun
Sturridge Torres Zhirkov

2nd should be

Hilario
Bosingwa Alex Chalobah Van Aanholt
B.Clifford
Lampard Malouda
Kalou Drogba Anelka

Don't need a DM lol

lol

my limited knowledge of italian tells me that sky in italy are saying pastore will sign for chelsea on tuesday..

sky are pretty reliable, my italian isnt lol

lol

if our only competition is roma and city and city are going for aguero instead then cant see us being beaten by roma lol

unless roma give them a buy back clause

whats the point in that? it might as well be a loan lol

exactly lol

roma have paid 12m for bojan, barca have to buy him back for 13m next season lol. Or if they want to keep him they have to pay 16m more lol

its palermos vice president saying palermo is very likely to join chelsea, so for once might be some truth in it lol.

as long as its no more than 35m im happy. if its 40m + would be a stupid buy

cech
bosingwa Ivanovic Terry Van Aanholt
Mikel
Mceachran Lampard
Sturrridge Torres Anelka

come on chels!

No Nasri, no Sneijder, no Modric - no more spending.

No replacement for Scholes.

That means your CM is still going to be terrible

I rate fletcher a lot but the rest not keen on. Carrick inconsistent. Gibson and amderson are poor.

Modric Sneijder and Nasri look likely to stay where they are tbh

We've been crying out for a quality midfielder for 2+ seasons and more now than ever especially now Scholes has retired, SAF seems to think Cleverley can make the step up.

I think Nasri was a realistic target tbh.

Yh Nasri was realistic but you have spent close to 50-60m so not surprised no more will be spent

I'm sure 30 more mill could have been forked out for a place where we need to really strengthen.

A GK was needed regardless, Jones won't be a starter and neither will A.Young. The squad has been strengthed in comparison to the first 11.

I think AM is a position that both Chelsea and united are weak in atm

Man utd don't really have one and Chelseas is 33

Rooney is quite prone to playing that AM/CF role, but yeah i get what you mean. SAF should of picked up Ozil.

Everyone should have picked up Ozil. quality player lol

We were persistently linked with him, not sure if it was concrete interest though tbh.

Tbh once barca or Madrid come in there's only one place that the player will go

Torres looking sharp so far

Chelsea looking really bad.
