Summer Transfer Window

[SM]

Didn't realise he had a history with you guys.

Purely from a playing ability, he's a good get. Although 4m seems quite high.

Used to play at Leeds, so when we were at their place he gestured to the crowd to wind us up late on when they were winning. Did not go down well at all. I actually thought at the time he might get sanctioned for it but never heard of it again.

Yeah Norwich apparently want 6m, so I suppose 4m isn't too bad business, since like you say, he's a good get.

 

[chef]

Chelsea always get their business done nice and early in the window.

Another quality signing.

Yep. We are having a great transfer window so far. Addressed a couple of holes from last season (CF, LB and CM), going to be interesting to see who else we bring in and who goes out on loan or is sold.

Meanwhile, we will patiently await the bargain basement purchases late into the night on August 31.

 

[SuperCats9]

Well apparently Vermalen has agreed to join United and it's now up to both clubs coming to an agreement.

I know we need some defenders but if this is true and it happens. Strange is all I can say.

Some very nice signings! I saw someome whip this team up. What are people thoughts? (on formation etc)

That team with Schurrle occasionally in for Willian as well really should have no excuses in regards to seriously challenging for the title. We came third by a handful of points this season, this side we should consistently be 1-2.

You fail if you don't win it.

City will show an equivalent level of improvement.

 

[Hatchy1992]

I still have my doubts about Costa fitting our style. I would have gone with Balo myself.

 

[FAITH]

cfc will be tough to beat

will city sign quality?

No, they'll only sign duds. Exclusively.

 

[Hawthorn United]

I'd like to see the Chelsea bench if that is the starting 11, with assumption of no player out on loan.

It's pretty scary.

Should just get both.

I'd just play the standard 4-2-3-1 with Fab next to Matic. Forget all this variation crap.

Balotelli? Absolutely would not touch a 10 ft pole. The guy just causes too much havoc.

not sure bout that
hope your right

 

[Thistle]

I'd like to see the Chelsea bench if that is the starting 11, with assumption of no player out on loan.

It's pretty scary.

Cech, Ivanovich, Zouma, Van Ginkel, Salah, Schurrle, Lukaku

Yep, just like every other season that we don't win it.

 

[Hatchy1992]

Balotelli? Absolutely would not touch a 10 ft pole. The guy just causes too much havoc.

Controversies aside, he's one of the most lethal centre forwards around and is PL proven. Besides, One could argue that Costa causes havoc wherever he goes as well.

 

[Flameboy]

Cech, Ivanovich, Zouma, Van Ginkel, Salah, Schurrle, Lukaku

Second bench:
Schwarzer, Ake, Ramires, Mikel, Piazon, Torres, Ba

Not too sure about that, don't see many ridiculous headlines going around involving DC

 

[chef]

Both Costa and Balotelli are ticking time bombs, Deigo's playing style suits us better though.

 

[FAITH]

costa is a gun mate much better signing than balo

 

[Hatchy1992]

I didn't mean off field controversies, I mean his on field antics. Apologies, should have been clearer.
