Cech's only 30. He'll be around for another few seasons. Butland's career will go downhill fast if he joins Chelsea, aka Ross Turnbull.
I don't normally say things like this, but I'm actually glad that twerp is going/gone.* *depending on when you read this.
Not to mention the fact that Chelsea already has their goalkeeper of the future in Courtois, who has been absolutely massive with Atletico Madrid. Terrible career move if Butland goes there.
Mario has been very entertaining, but sadly for all the wrong reasons for quite some time. All they need to do now is change the manager & they might get somewhere.
Sad to see super Mario go! We need more characters like that in the premier league, as long as they aren't playing for us of course
Good Riddance to him. He was everything a modern footballer shouldn't be. Won't be missed by me anyway.
Butland has rejected Chelsea, saying he wants first team football. He's not a money grabbing idiot then.
European football expert James Horncastle tells BBC Sport: "It would appear that Napoli have beaten QPR to the signing of Rolando. "Reports are beginning to emerge that an agreement was reached with Porto last night to loan the player until the end of the season with a right to buy included in the deal for a fee said to be 7.5m euros. The 27-year-old Portugal international defender is expected to fly to Italy tonight and undergo a medical on Thursday." That must have been a really tough decision for Rolando. Money or playing for a top European club!
Hopefully they push on, and buy all the Paul Robinsons in the Championship. Every team there seems to have one, and I'd love to see Paul Robinson roll the ball out to ball Robinson, who quickly finds Paul Robinson on the flank.
QPR have triggered the release clause in Samba's contract at Anzhi Makhachkala. In a way I hope he signs for QPR because they will have to pay at least 100k a week as that's what he's on at the Russian club. QPR are living very dangerously.
Too true Tom. Massive risk. They need to win three more games than anyone else at the bottom to stay up. Massive ask!
Triffic. So what's the chances of Bent leaving Villa tomorrow? A month ago I said that if Villa were going to stay up, they had to sell him for £10m in the first week of the window, and buy two good players with the money. They haven't, so they won't.
