Mou looooool

Now to wait for Wenger's comeback....

 

[Tc91]

Essien please leave. I hate to see you still at the club being as broken as you are. You used to be so good.

I saw a journo link him with Milan yesterday on Twitter.

 

[Feorax]

I don't get the Salah thing.

If we want him, we have to at least match Chelsea's bid, simple as that. It's black and white, yes or no.

Apparently, we aren't willing to do that, because it would be overpaying, but for some reason we're still hopeful we can salvage something? How exactly?

Pellegrini making a knob of himself too. Agrees with Wenger that players from the same league shouldn't be allowed join rivals in January.

The best way to settle this is a tag team wrestling match.

Jose and Moyes vs Pellegrini and Wenger.

Larry White you and your entitled over-compensating, new money, pig swill of a club should shut the fuck up.

"well aah i deed not aah see his press conference aah from my position, but aaa i think it ees not fair that he aah is allowed to say things"

 

[Slizz]

Is this the first time ever in the history of the PL that a team sold a good player to a rival in January?

 

[qindarka]

Larry White you and your entitled over-compensating, new money, pig swill of a club should shut the fuck up.

Who is Larry White?

 

[Clegg]

Torres went to Chelsea in January.

Although it's debateable as to whether he was even still good at that stage.

 

[confuziz]

Is this the first time ever in the history of the PL that a team sold a good player to a rival in January?

Torres? Or does Liverpool not count as a rival?

 

[Walshy]

Or the story of a club asking too much for a player?

Overpaying for players is something you do when "money" is a joke concept. We aren't Manchester City, or PSG or whatever.

You may want to overpay once or twice and just pay what the club is asking, but then what if the player doesn't work out? And how many times are you going to get bent over before you get a transfer that works out?

Man Utd are overpaying for Mata because they're desperate for a lift. Chelsea will overpay for Salah because their business model hinges as much on crippling other clubs as much as it does on winning their own matches. We're seeing the effects of what it looks like when Brendan's puzzle slowly fills in.

I don't buy into the narrative that the owners aren't supporting the club or Rodgers or whatever. The owners are supporting the club in a measured and strategic way.

I think it’s just my feelings towards the club’s transfer policy over the last two windows.

Personally I don’t think it’s a matter of ‘overpaying’ for a player, I think it’s the club dithering and attempting to be ‘smart’ by trying to get a player for less than he’s actually worth. Sometimes that works, as we’ve seen with Sturridge and Coutinho – but those deals are risks that luckily have paid off, however as we’ve seen in the past that sometimes isn’t the case, any transfer is a risk.

If reports are to go by, Basle wanted £10m for Salah – Ayre refused to go for £8m. The same goes with Willian, we offered £28m, Anzhi wanted £30m (he did go for £35m eventually, but that is only because of Chelsea coming in). The low-balling will only get us so far. Suarez’s transfer is just another example of FSG’s insistence on getting players for less than they are worth. Suarez was easily worth £20m for anyone who watched the 2010 World Cup or his games in the Champions League for Ajax or his ridiculously impressive scoring record for Ajax. We offered £12.7m as our first offer – I doubt we would of got Suarez hadn’t his disciplinary record put other suitors off and the fact inside the club, murmurs about Chelsea bidding for Torres seemed to pick up pace. There is a reason that we courted Suarez the whole of January, yet signed him a day before Torres was sold. If it wasn’t for his poor disciplinary record, I doubt we would have gotten him.

For the first time in four years, we have the opportunity to get fourth place and bring back Champions League. For me, this is the most important transfer window in the whole of FSG’s tenure: strengthen by bringing in that player who can push us over the line and get us top four. Then think about dithering over transfer fees in the summer when the club has a bigger pull with Champions League football.

Need a gif of that thumbs up by Jose when actually asked a question about the match,

 

[Mastadon]

Torres went in January, although 'good' could be debated.

 

[TheLucifer]

I saw a journo link him with Milan yesterday on Twitter.

It's almost done. Either a loan until June with an option to buy and the salary divided between Chelsea and Milan, or a full transfer, for free, next week.

In a matter of hours (or days, but it seems like the deal is like 99% done) Milan will announce it.

 

[Clegg]

Who is Larry White?

Laurent Blanc

That has to count due to the fact that Chelsea* WANTED him, thats why they paid.


EDIT: Abramovich wanted him*

 

[Fergie]

Carrick is out for a month.

Good thing Fellaini is back in training.

 

[dalVlatko]

Jose: "...and Arsenal. Eight years to build this team, its perfect."

lol

"If we say to Juan, you can't go to United because they won't sell us Rooney, I don't think that's fair to Juan.

Interesting.

 

[LanceVance]

Mou selling mata to United because he's taking over in the summer

 

[Facism]

So Mata was happy to go if the offer came.

Yes Mata.

Better to be be a big fish in a small pond.

 

[TrueBlue]

So he says AW complains all the time, then proceeds to complain himself

Apparently Hulk uploaded a pic of himself on a jet in Luton Airport.

Now there's speculation that he's signing for a London based PL club. Top muppetry.

 

[José Mourinho]

[Mr Cola]

This is unhuman levels of love coming from Mourinho, my mind keeps searching "what is his ultimate goal?" with selling us Mata. I understand respect, i fully understand his love for winding up Wenger/Pelle but man, his generosity, kinda love the man now <3

 

[confuziz]

Seedings for Euro 2016, draw is next month.

Hope he isn't hanging about, parking costs a fortune at that place

And can we finally agree Oscar is the hottest Chelsea player now, wooden isn't here, but with mata gone the crown is his.

He's heading to Porto on holiday. It's the Russian off-season.

Salah is a very skillful player, it might turn out to be an inspired piece of business for Mou once again.
