40 mil for both Premier Ass and Luiz. Are you fucking kidding? lol. Enjoy old man Puyol and Pique for another season you cheap bastards.

Seriously. Tito must be smoking something if he wants Luiz anywhere near Barça. Rather use that 45million for Thiago silva than those two.

We paid £23m~ for Luiz alone, £40m for Luiz and £20m for Ivanovic, important players that we won't want to sell.

I doubt Barce will pay up though, they'll end up being all talk and we don't need to sell.
 
I feel that unless Heynckes plans to stay in the game for another 5-10 years, he should retire now, on the high. It'll be hard to repeat similar success with Madrid's prima donnas.

I think the way he was pushed aside for Guardiola has put the fire in his belly. The possibility of winning 3 CL titles has to be awfully tempting.

Meh. If he still wants to coach a team let him do it, people said the same silly thing when Raul transferred to Schalke that he should just retire and have had a perfect career, but there's nothing wrong with not stopping on a high if they still enjoy what they are doing.

Fools thinks that Chelsea are Arsenal and will sell if they are just asked enough times.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
I like Luiz but he is the exact opposite of what we need right now

I think he's exactly what you need. Agressive, strong, capable on the ball. Yes he has the occasional brain fart but no more often than fools like Pique. He's a very good defender. I think losing him would be a big blow for Chelsea but CBs can always be replaced unlike forward players.

The German trophies don't exactly look...expensive. One looks like a serving plate and the other looks like something you could win in a raffle.

I think that he's improved a lot in the last 12 months. He has better concentration and is more able to judge when to hold his position and when to challenge. He's technically excellent as well. As a defender I'm struggling to think of a recent game where he looked dodgy (I don't think he's a good midfielder though).

I highly doubt Mourinho would sell both of our starting centre backs. We would have to sign two elite center backs to replace them considering that other than them, we only have Cahill who isn't good enough to start regularly and an aging an injury prone Terry.

And 40 million is laughable. Not like Chelsea need the money anyway, they only sell players on their terms. Last player we sold in his prime was Robben and we got a cool 25 million out of that, after an injury prone season and with contract negotiations breaking down.
 
Carpi v Sudtirol draw, first bet of the day done. Thought the off season would mean less betting, but there's just so many more low league teams to get your hands dirty in!

Yeah it won't happen. Ivan is also acting as the best right back in the club on top of being a starter in the central defense, have a hard time seeing who he could realistically replace those two players with, although I guess Wallace is coming and Chelsea hopes he's ready to actually play for the first team.

God, I cannot wait for the Barca-Bayern rematch.

Imagine what a fit Messi will do to them after having to watch the Germans gut his beloved.

It will take a lot more than a fully fit Messi for Barca to beat Bayern.

Their midfield was totally overwhelmed and their defence shat it against Robben/Ribery/Muller.
