The Transfer Thread

Re: The Transfer Thread

Apparently Barca have approached Chelsea for Torres in the neighborhood of ~20mil. SomehowI think somebody over on Madrid hacked Barca's phone system.

Re: The Transfer Thread

I dont know, maybe Torres is insurance in case Messi goes to prison

I don't think Messi could be found guilty of a crime that would put him in that position.

Re: The Transfer Thread

Hey, I felt left out, okay? This is what life for a smaller club is like.

It's all happening at Villa at the moment!

He looks like he's about 9 years old.

man, how many midfielders does chelsea need? they already have:

mata
hazard
lampard
oscar
ramires
obi mikel
moses
marin
de bruyne
essien (coming back from loan)
mceachran (coming back from loan)

and now schurrle

plus, they're linked to van ginkel and sneijder!

i know some will be sold and some play different position along the midfield, but damn that's a lot of midfielders.

someone's bound to get mad about playing time.

Re: The Transfer Thread

From a few things I've heard and read just lately it appears that Mikel & Moses could be shown the door as Mourinho does not see a future for them.

yeah, i heard about mikel. i'm sure he's on the way out and chelsea fans would rejoice.

i've only heard one thing about moses and that was him reuniting with martinez at everton.

i'm guessing marin will also be gone and mceachran will go out on loan again.

that still leaves mata, hazard, oscar, ramires, and now schurrle for first team football.

mourinho said a day or two ago that de bruyne fits into chelsea's plans next year and he wants first team football.

if mikel is sold, they will have a hole at DM. unless mourinho thinks essien has enough left in the tank for a year or so as a stopgap

I think you're blowing things out of proportion. Chelsea played 69 games last season and the lack of depth killed em. Those 5 players could easily play in the XI against smaller teams simultaneously.

Re: The Transfer Thread

On the Sky Sports ticker:

La Liga champions Barcelona are getting ready to splash the cash on Fernando Torres, Graham Hunter told Sky Sports News. It was reported on Thursday that the Spanish giants were set to offer £17m to Chelsea - £33m less than the British record transfer fee that Liverpool received two years ago from the London club. "It is a well-sourced story," said the Spain-based journalist.

i wouldn't call it blowing out of proportion. just they have a ton of midfielders and looking to sign more when they have other areas to address.

i'm friends with a couple chelsea fans and they say chelsea really needs a central defender, defensive midfielder, and probably another striker. none of which they have gone after yet, but it is very very early in the offseason

I think Moses will be kept. He makes relatively low wages.

mata - will stay
hazard - will stay
lampard - will stay for 1 more yr
oscar - will stay
ramires - will stay
obi mikel - is rumoured to be on his way out
moses - should stay
marin - will be sold or loaned back to a Bundesliga side
de bruyne - will stay
essien (coming back from loan) - Mourinho is his dad so he'll stay and be a utility player
mceachran (coming back from loan) - will go back on load

You're also forgetting Oriol Romeu who's rumored to go back out on loan

While he most definitely would win any Gary Coleman look-a-like contest, the guy is actually a fantastic centerhalf and I'm extremely happy with getting Okore.

Played extremely well against Chelsea in a Champions League fixture.

yeah, i heard oriol romeu was going on loan at celta vigo, that's why i didn't include him.

you're also forgetting their latest edition of schurrle. plus, they are also rumored with van ginkel and sneijder.

all i'm saying is that it's a lot of midfielders and it's not out of the realm that someone will be unhappy with playing time. but apparently i'm blowing it out of proportion.
