Transfer Window Thread

[toffeejack]

Lot of truth in that Davek , said it weeks ago prior to tonights goings on that we are to easy at the back with those two in tandem , both good but not as a unit.
Do chelsea need a keeper as well . Might soften the blow a bit if he went as well

haha which one are they going to sell to accommodate howard? courtois or begovic?

 

[Maltese_Falcon]

Truth is there are very few great CBs around so any half decent one will be either out of reach of command a large sum .

Come on you have to admit we losing a player who will be the best defender in the league in a few years

Really?

He'll have to improve by about 100% if he's going to be that good.

You dont see him as having a hand in our atrocious defending last season and this?

He's good, could be very good. At the moment he's potential and nothing more.

£40M for that? Yes ta. But it should have been weeks ago.

Apparently last week it happened - dont know how true. But he's said on the Singapore tour he wanted to stay. That's his prerogative to change his mind. And it's my prerogative to hope he leaves asap and rots on the Chelsea bench. He's done us precisely no favours.

That's true. For a player who many claim is so 'grounded', he really has put one in the clubs and managers back. Still though, my position wouldn't change. I wouldn't be letting him go. If we refuse all bids outright, he'll still play for us. No players, especially one of his age would want to sit on the bench all year. Give him no say in the matter, he signed a contract to stay for 4 years.

People suggesting Dragovic....decent player alright but it's blooming hard enough trying to sign 1 player from Kiev, never mind 2!!

This isn't something that he's only decided today though mate. I'd be very very surprised if he hadn't told Martinez weeks ago that he wanted to go and only now does he feel that he has to push it through. Not defending the snake, any player who hands in a transfer request at this club I will loathe, but he hasn't all of a sudden decided he wants to leave.

But we have no idea what has been said to him. Someone has been in his ear to force the issue, it could have gone from initial doscussion "we want you to be a part of this club and you'll replace JT" to "hand in a request and you'll be our number one starter".

Theories everywhere, but players change their ind like the wind. Look at Delph

Tell me three centre halves who are better than him and will be playing in 3 years in the prem

Yes. Look at Suarez at LFC. They rejected it; he had the year of his life.

It can happen.

True he changed his mind twice lol !!

So far Chelsea have bid 25 the most, their next bid will be 28 and that it

 

[TheHumbleEgg]

Whatever though, y'know 32-35m isn't a bad return on a gangly VERNON KAY looky-likey is it...and he'll learn LOADS from TERRY (adultery/racism/shoplifting) because MERSON said so. And MERSON's blob on in all his opinions. So this can only be a good thing...

*it's a very bad thing*

STONES's probably decided to dip after hearing who the elusive 3 signings are. (aren't)

Wonder what squad number VICTOR MOSES is gonna ask for?

We are EVERTON....and because of that, we should have all expected this. But I did enjoy it for a bit, the hoping thing, the YARMOLENKO thing, all that...

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Its imperative we screw this lot now,I would use their own benchmark of Luis at 50 million and state that is the price,it will probably go to the wire but they'll cough up as they are desperate for him,god knows where that will leave us now though,roll on the January window!

 

[ijjysmith]

Except they've bid £30m.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

I just passed it onto VVD@celticfc.net . Should be easy enough now
