The Transfers Thread

None that are worth anything. Torres won't be leaving but he'd fetch 10-15.

 

[chef]

could chelsea realistically afford all 4?

i'd say 2 of those are possible.

falcao ~ 40 mil
di maria ~ 35 mil
moutinho ~ 30 mil
pepe ~ 20 mil

any realistic outs at chelsea to offset some of the fees?

IMO Torres, Malouda, Marin, Turnbull, Ferreira, Benayoun and Hilario are definite gones(dead wood clean out). And in all honesty aren't worth much if anything for some.

KDB could be sold and would be worth maybe 15mil, but I hope we hang onto him.

All our squad needs is a decent striker and a decent CM. We don't need a CB as we have Omeruo returning next season apparently(plus we have 4 decent ones already on our list) and really wingers are the last thing we need as well.

Torres won't go. (Unless a European giant comes knocking)

i cant see how torres is gone. massive wages. chelsea would need to be paying about half of them. plus he seems set on seeing his contract out.

marin will be loaned out again imo. the rest should and will be ****ed off. but obviously that's not enough for these players. tv deal revenue increase will probably pay a part in the window. i expect them to get falcao, but i don't think anyone else on that list will come. not many players leave madrid in their prime if they're still wanted at madrid.

Depends on how badly he wants a WC spot IMO.

Only way I can see is as a loan with an option to buy at the end of it.

Or he can stay and train and watch Falcao play.

I think it's just a matter of he'll never be at a club as good and competitive as Chelsea after his contract is up/if he decides to go. He knows this and as such is going to stay.

Yeah this would be the only way we could get rid of him... if he's getting virtually no game time. Which could happen if (or when) we sign Falcao tbf.

But he'll definitely be here next season.

 

[Thistle]

The only way I can see him leaving is if we somehow agree to a deal with Atletico in exchange for Falcao. Otherwise he will be spending the rest of his career at Chelsea picking splinters out of his arse.

Torres, the new Winston Bogarde, except even Bogarde was a better player in blue

 

[pantskyle]

Ba will be sold before Torres.

Not to mention Torres in a big part of the next season promotional stuff.

Chelsea are finally closing in on the £6m signing of Serbia’s teenage star Lazar Markovic, been quite a drawn out affair.

Chelsea are finally closing in on the £6m signing of Serbia’s teenage star Lazar Markovic, been quite a drawn out affair.

Last I read (which was last night) it was 20m fee. Good news nonetheless.

 

[chef]

IT is claimed Chelsea owner owner Roman Abramovich is ready to give Mourinho plenty of money to spend.
Everton’s Marouane Fellaini and Southampton’s highly-rated teenage left-back Luke Shaw are said to be among the players Chelsea are interested in along with Atletico Madrid star Radamel Falcao.
Abramovich is also apparently ready to bankroll a £20m move for Bayern Leverkusen’s Andre Schurrle, who is believed to have agreed personal terms on a five-year deal.

Apparently Fellaini just posted this picture on instagram:

 

[mcuzzy]

surely not real. doesn't appear to be linked to his twitter at all and there are only 5000 or so followers

 

[chef]

It's a fake account. Saw it the other day.

Daily Fail linking Alonso with Chelsea. Bit of a strange one that.

Fail at its best. If Alonso comes back to England it will be with Liverpool.

Much better options for him than Liverpool.

 

[mcuzzy]

everything at liverpool has changed, benitez won't be there and they won't be in the CL. it would just be easier to be ushered over to chelsea by jose

This is a bloke who genuinely loves the club. If he is to return to England, it will only be to play for us. It certainly wont be Chelsea, who we had a fierce rivalry with in Alonso's time at the club.

Silly rumours.

90 per cent of footballers don't actually give a shit about their previous clubs or about rivalries, they're professionals and they play for a paycheck. I'd be very surprised if Alonso is any different.

At Liverpool I'd say only Stevie G and maybe Carragher are blokes who genuinely care for the club, and thats only because they're locals who've played their careers in just one place.
