Trust me, Soldado is quite capable of creating chances for himself. I think he will be one of the top players in the Premiership this season.
Mourinho is not everybody's cup of tea, and fair enough. Still, I do not see how he shows less (or more) class than anybody else, however. SAF was a terrible loser, Moyes complaining that the draw is rigged, Rodgers looks for excuses all the time, Wenger just being Wenger...It really depends on which team you support as to who you find classless. Mourinho is at least guaranteed to make the PL more interesting.
and you paid it back to us after it was found Mikels agent had forged his name on some documents and he had always been Chelseas player. still why ruin a good story with the truth ?
Yes but chelsea had first option after he trained with us while at Oslo and it was also the agent involved in the george graham bungs scandal that helped united get mikel
It was a small paragraph in the times just after he came to chelsea but i think if you google mikel there is some info on this .The other agent was John ****tu who disappeared and started a kidnap hunt
can see Chelsea beating you 2 or 3-0 tbh. Unless of course refereeing decisions go your way (wink wink).
Dont know why you guys are the slightest bit fussed over losing out on Willian. 30m was a huge gamble.
In a further twist, it has emerged that Spurs have approached Chelsea with a view to buying a player - thought to be Juan Mata - to replace Bale. Spurs were close to signing the Brazilian winger Willian last week before a late bid from Chelsea beat them to his signature. Losing out to their London rivals has delayed Spurs finalising the departure of Bale, and Mata had been identified as a potential replacement. Spurs are frustrated that Chelsea are refusing to sell a player who could now find himself behind Willian in the Stamford Bridge pecking order. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23841998) If this is true then.. wow, just WOW.
It's been suggested Mata might be offered to Utd as part of a deal for Rooney. Also unlikely, but I'm not sure Mata's face fits at Chelsea under Mourinho, despite his efforts last season, without which Chelsea's defence of the Europa League would have already started.
It wouldn't surprise me to see Mata leave Chelsea, but they won't sell him to us and I think they'd me making a massive mistake in letting him join Utd, too. Superb player and he virtually carried them for big chunks of last season. He'd be perfect for us and van Persie would love to have him in the same side as him. No way Chelsea will be that silly, surely?
There's no chance of Mata leaving. Contract talks are set to resume in October (delayed). Willian deal just means Schurrle will get less playing time and Moses/Ba/Marin and possibly Mikel will be off. Also think KDB/Oscar will play deeper. Mata, Oscar and Hazard will only play half the amount of time they did last season and be a lot fresher. It's probably the first time in 2/3 years Chelsea have a squad size capable of competing on all four fronts. Had to tank loads of matches in the 2011/12 season.
Of course you hadn't. Why would the press print a story that puts United in negative light and clears Chelsea of any wrongdoing? Kakuta saga all over again, doesn't suit their agenda.
Think you will find Oslo had to pay it back, not United. Didn't Chelsea try claim 16 million from them?
I'm not, I'm happy Chelsea took him, I wish we hadn't wasted time and money on him in the first place.
