Chelsea signs Brazilian midfielder Ramires.

I like that signing. Gives us some young creative depth in the MF to counteract the crappyness that is one John Obi Mikel.

Re: The Transfer Thread

In case you're wondering, MO'N said that Milner will likely be sold in the next few days.

At least we'll finally have money to make some changes...

Former Chelsea ace Deco has finally completed his switch to Brazilian side Fluminense.

Even though he was/is on his last legs I'm gonna miss Deco. He still showed signs of the class he had at Barca but just couldn't put it together on a consistent basis.

Sounds like Ireland + money for Milner will be done eventually.

Man Citeh at it's finest, overpaying for a player. I love Milner, but there is no way he is worth more than money and Ireland.

I agree that they're overpaying for him (as all English talent is greatly overpayed for in the EPL), but not worth more than Ireland? Hmmm. I'll have to disagree with you there. Both are seriously legitimate players, but Milner is both younger and English, which plays a big(ger) role with the new home grown player rules this season.

Getting money to bring in another striker + Ireland for Milner is the overpayment I was referring to.

If it were Milner for Ireland straight up, it would not be nearly as good.

If it were Milner for Ireland straight up Villa would be getting robbed.

First and foremost, Milner is the better player of the two. Not to mention the fact that City wants Milner and wants rid of Ireland. Villa deserves healthy compensation for this transfer.

Re: The Transfer Thread

Looks like Ozil will indeed leave Werder Bremen. Chelsea and Barcelona are hard after him with the latter supposedly having already agreed to terms. Not a bad consolation prize for missing out on Cesc this Summer.

Nick Shorey moves to West Brom.

Ozil would be a lovely addition for my Blues.

Dammit. One of the guys I really looked forward to following on Bremen.

Looks like Carvalho is going to Real Madrid for ~8

He definitely lost a step or two over the past few seasons but with Alex always banged up we're gonna be thin in that central defender role.

Re: The Transfer Thread

It would be quite amazing if the Milner to Man City deal would get done today.

Then Ireland could play against West Ham.
