Yeah saw that. Next year he needs a P.L loan at a side who will play him. Think it's the only chance he's got to make it with us. All these Championship loans don't seem to be progressing him enough.
Not sure if there is anything in it but Hulk posted a photo on instagram today and his location was Luton. We've also gone into 4/5 to sign him. Anybody got anymore info on this?
Just to add on to that the photo was taken on Abramovich's private jet haha. https://twitter.com/CarefreeDaily/status/426680857441861632/photo/1
I know you don't like him Drogs but I've always thought he'd be perfect to the P.L. A bit like Bale. Not a 50 million player but around 30 and I think he'd be a great buy.
I just can't see where he'd play, his strongest position is on the right and he definitely won't be disloging Hazard and as a striker I've never been a massive fan, as his greatest strength - his powerful shot - isn't really utilised there.
I think so yeah. They haven't played a league game since the weekend 7/8 of December. Not sure when it restarts.
I agree his best position is on the right. Hazard normally left side so it would be Willian he'd compete with I guess. He's probably just on a city break and fuss over nothing. With Willian now in and doing well, the time has probably passed now but I've always thought he'd be a good signing. The money Zenit paid was far too much though.
Apparently we have a verbal agreement with Costa. If true, could be the man to lead our attack for the next few years, has looked quality in La Liga this year. Costa, Torres and Lukaku for next year? Not bad!
Josh rarely gets look in to those championship sides. doesn't mean he's not good enough but due to manipulative managers. I fecking hate these managers who sign a player on loan and make him sit on his backside for almost all the matches.
Looks like we're getting Zouma but he's being loaned back to St Etienne until the summer. Never seen him play him play but isn't he meant to be the best thing? I know he had a 10 game ban for some horrific tackle though haha. Anybody have a link to it?
Great tackle, he won the ball [video=youtube;by9MlfXdsg4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by9MlfXdsg4[/video]
http://www1.skysports.com/football/...andrea-pirlo-reveals-he-almost-joined-chelsea Interesting read. Basically Pirlo was due to join us with Carlo but Milan set his transfer fee too high. What a difference this kind of player may have made. More interesting though are his comments regarding THAT Deportivo come back.
Looks like you'll be getting Costa unfortunately http://www1.skysports.com/football/...iego-simeone-admits-he-could-lose-diego-costa, he so nearly joined us last summer (he said it himself) http://www.express.co.uk/sport/foot...-reveals-Atletico-Madrid-marksman-Diego-Costa
I think he'd be a great signing for us. Great work rate and scores goals and can lead the line. Though we have history with ruining forwards!!
Yep As for your last bit yes as well! He's a good player though, but then so was Torres, Shevchenko, Ba and Crespo to some extent
You certainly didnt, you never replaced him either. Maybe Costa will? Looks like you'll be getting him, unless we want him of course
Cl semi final, a chance to win the Prem all with out strikers. Makes you wonder how easy it will be next season for us. Filthy grass.
