How much would Barca want though? Still over 20million you would think.
15 mil max. contract expiring in 2014 and not getting in the team. don't think he will move till the summer though

Sturridge to Liverpool for 12m looks to be very likely.

As long as there are no hiccups in the next week, he and Ince will be wearing red in the 1st few days of January.

In addition to this, Rodgers did a 2 hour fan interview session the other day and said he was looking for a "creative, clever, top class number 10". Supposedly our scouts have been focusing on young playmakers in the Bundesliga & Eredivisie over the last few months, but I'm not sure whether that move will be made in January or in the summer. With the financial uncertainty and prospect of no Champions League at Malaga I wouldn't be surprised to see Isco become a target for a lot of clubs either.

Isco will be close to the most wanted man on the planet come the summer transfer market
 
Apparently wants a clause put into his contract that he can only be played at CF.

I would hazard a guess that this is rubbish journalism yet again from The Mirror on that one, reflected in the fact that no other reputable journalist has gone with it. No player is that selfish and no club is stupid enough to agree to such a clause. Sturridge may have spoken to Rodgers about where he sees him fitting into the squad but there's absolutely no way he would have "demanded" it. The hold up with contract talks was due to his agent asking for a bigger fee according to the majority of the journalists who's information I generally trust.

Agreed. Extremely talented player and the uncertainty surrounding his club would certainly be reasonable grounds for him to look elsewhere.

Yeah I agree, I did have a :rolleyes: after my post but it seems to have disappeared.

Sadly he doesn't have the finishing skills to play in his favoured position.

Kaka?

Could probably get him for 15m and he'll play every game. Sounds like a win-win for both sides.

I heard that rumour too but I don't think there would be much in it. He's 30 years old and would still demand very high wages despite his indifferent form over the last 2 seasons. Unless he's willing to take a wage cut I don't think he represents particularly good value compared to a lot of the top younger playmakers out there. Ie for £5m more you could get someone like Eriksen or Isco (both of whom are playing far better football and would be demanding lower wages at present than Kaka) and you would probably get an extra 5 seasons out of them.

We wont be able to get the best young talented players such as Isco because all the big champions league clubs would be after him.

Kaka would be realistic though if he wants to play week in week out.
 
Pato wants out of Milan apparently. Could be a handy pick up if he gets his body all good.

It's a bit of a case of what comes first the chicken or the egg really. We'll need players like that to get back into the Champions League in the first place but obviously a lot of them will want to be playing in that competition. I think if we can go on a good run in the 2nd half of the season and build on our good form over the last 2 months to give the top 4 a good shake, even if we fall just short it may be enough to convince those sorts of calibre players that we're a club that will be back in the CL soon and could bring them the success they desire in the not too distant future.
 
the first 'seen driving to' and it's not even the window yet!

There is nothing in the rules which says you can't have a medical prior to the window. You just can't sign the player. If it's ok with Chelsea then why not get it out of the way so you can sign him up right away. It's called being pro-active which is good to see by the club. The quicker we can get newer players in the better off we will be.

Transfer window doesn't start until the Redknapp car window opens for his first "t'riffic player, anyone would love him at their club, where's the brown paper bag".
 
This will have to do until such time.

i never said it couldn't...
 
Well it's certain that chelsea will be getting another striker, it's just a matter of who. Obvious wish list is Falcao, but other names have been bantered around. Tbh, I was quite excited when Torres joined chelsea (and Shev for that matter!), but for obvious reasons, it's been frustrating. So I'm not going to get to excited to early.
 
Will they ask Arry's opinion of this? He's waiting in his car just outside the training ground, pissing off all his players who are trying to drive out

he's promptly giving chase in his range rover with rosie
