Am I right in thinking Sagna is not going to be a first choice player at City? In other words they are paying c£150k a week or whatever for a back up? Clearly they are taking their commitments under FFP very seriously...
 
"Nurse!"

May need to cancel all leave at the clinic if the June 14th Ceefax transfer gossip is true :

Chelsky and Man Utd are looking to sign Alex Song from Barcelona.
Cazorla has told "friends and family" he wants to go back to Spain by
joining Atletico Madrid.
 
Mourinho's confirmed that Courtois will return from his loan spell at Atletico for next season. Wonder what that means for Cech?
A season as back up for the Belgian would really be a massive step down now, but he might have to stomach it.

Courtois will be number 1. He's a quality keeper and can't see him not being first choice.

Strange move, Zabaleta is the best RB in the League and I can only think that City want a proven RB as his understudy/ competition as Richards will be off.

Could be another surprise departure from Chelsea (after Cole and Lampard, whom I thought would end their careers there). There's no way a keeper like Cech should be used as a back up, he's still better than 90% of keepers in the game, I'm sure there'll be a huge queue of suitors should he become available on the market.
 

Quite a few players appear to be laughing at Arsenal, this Summer. It doesn't bode well for the Gooners' hopes of a bumper haul of players.

In fact, I wonder if any other players have plans on leaving the club? I wouldn't be surprised. I cannot imagine that any of their players like the thought of being associated with a club that specializes in failure.
 
They've had a bad window already, which is funny to see.

Sagna goes to City.

Their former hero joins Chelsea.

Draxler rejected/ rejecting them.

Cazorla apparently wants out if certain reports are true.
 
I think we should offer to save Cazorla from his hell. Or we could offer to play Ozil in his proper position and restore his confidence and form, either's good with me.
