This guy had to have faked this:

Chelsea are awesome in the transfer market. Obviously this has been in the works for some time, but once Torres is finalized, boom, they have his replacement. And a player who is an upgrade.

I would very much disagree.

Veron was my token UTD dig...but Carroll? Nothing beats that as the worst transfer. You can at least see the logic in the Torres deal...kind of. But who beyond a crack smoking meth addicted lunatic thought Andy Carroll was worth 35 million??

Fucking hell.

kitty you are scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

Give it up.

Remy is good enough for Mou but not good enough for Wenger?

I'd take Remy at Arsenal in a heartbeat.

I don't think it's real. Please don't take it that I am. I just find it very interesting because he was followed by Falcao, or at least a verified Falcao account.

Quite funny that Arsenal fans and Utd fans have been clamouring for signings in certain positions...yet within an hour of Chelsea moving a player on they've sorted a replacement.

They did very well this Summer transfer-wise. Got the core players in very quickly and shifted a lot of deadwood for a good amount of money.

I'm hoping West Ham do get Song. Would be good for us.

Kouyate, Diame, Song, Nolan is a nice physical midfield.

Chelsea don't haggle. They pay the asking price.

Arsenal and United do.

All the more reason for him to fake it.
 
Remy is no Mourinho/Chelsea transfer "masterclass".

He has a buy-out clause, wanted to leave, and they triggered it.

It is a masterclass in getting shit done though. Something Utd, Arsenal and a few others could learn from. Decisive bunch lately, Chelsea. Only side I've seen as decisive this Summer PL-wise is Everton.

Not saying it is. Just wondering why we didn't.

Lol makes Arsene Wenger look a twat over the 40+1 saga.

Expert in transfer failure

Yes, bidding the amount he was told was necessary to bid sure makes him a twat.

Don't be bitter because Suarez begged to leave your club to come to Arsenal.

Fernando Torres's goalscoring record at Chelsea
Premier League
72 (38) appearances 20 goals
FA Cup
7 (6) appearances 4 goals
League Cup
5 (1) appearances 3 goals
Other (including European competitions)
33 (10) appearances 19 goals
 
I thought he had a dodgy medical or something...at Liverpool non?

Redknapp claims that wasn't the case, although most seems to say it is, so who knows. It was due to his heart according to the rumors though, something that caused him problems before when transferring in France, a second medical got him through back then though.

Hmmm shades of Demba Ba. Well good luck to Chelsea if they have managed to work things out. Their squad is shaping up quite nicely.

Wasn't referring to you specifically.

It's good business (if true) done quickly and effectively, so fair play to them on that front.

I think, regarding why Arsenal didn't want him, the simplest answer is probably correct. Wenger has faith in his current options and views Sanogo as someone that has to be developed on the pitch. It pains me to think that may be the case, but it is what it is.

Payet doing well tonight. I always thought he would make a name for himself whilst he was at St Etienne, but it hasn't worked out that way.

I just think we need the numbers. His thinking is once Giroud comes back we would have Sanchez Giroud Sanogo and Remy which in his mind is too many.

O well. Hope he sucks at Chelsea.

Wood are you ready for a whole season of corruptness starting from tomorrow?

Palermo will sack their coach five times this season.

Wut?

Sam ‏@samuelJayC 2m

Remember when Southampton loaned Taïder 3 weeks ago? He's now returned to Inter & joined Sassuolo on loan.
 
"Derby County have rejected a bid worth in the region of £1.5m from Burnley for ex-Sky Blues skipper Richard Keogh"

This is Derby's best chance to get promoted in years and the amount of money which promotion can bring to the club makes selling one the key players quite a poor decision (but it is McClaren so expect a sale soon).

"Pressley revealed he has no interest in former Scotland international Chris Iwelumo"

Thank fuck for that.
 
That's like the motto of the national casino here, spread your chances.

How much did you win?

Only doubled my 25 euros. So not all bad, but I am kind of broke and for some reason wasn't paid today yet.

I haven't even won it yet as bet365 is being shit and still saying PENDING for Telstar v Almere City FC.

I'm not ready at all, really angry about the club buying Makienok, the price only makes it worse. I hope he gets the Mehmeti threatment of rotting with the reserves for years to have his career ruined. Also the defense is just fucking horrible, Iachini is going to get fired because of bad buys. :(
