Well De Gea turned out 1000000000x better than Ruddy who is now ****e. So you beat me on that one. Unfortunately now he's good he also wants to leave. So mixed result for you.
Trust me, people are waiting for Blind to make a mistake. Have u seen the match reviews? He doesn't get the credit he deserves just because he is a makeshift cb
£40million for a young English defender does seem like a lot. Might have to dig out some Luke Shaw threads...!
They've just signed some random Rb for 20million as well. Not one of them had any idea who he was before he signed by put by gosh, he's already the bestest ever!! Go Chelsea (wave plastic flag)
well tbh it was not only you, I remembered Arsenal fans laughing on the comparison between Gea & Szczesny .. yeahh the deluded arsenal fans hhhhh who were saying how podolski will be a massive success hahaha regarding Gea, tbh am gutted he is leaving us, and i blame the board for not sorting out his contract sooner.. so sure am gutted .. but what can we do? Real and Barca are more attractive than any English club, .. so life goes on .. I think we should had sold him for Real long time ago even with less money.. if the deal goes to the last day of transfer market deadline, all extra money gain from selling him to Real will evaporate as other clubs will demand more money knowing we and them have limited time to sign a replacement. overall our activity in transfer market is average and kind amateurish with Woodward still learning .. and am not that thrilled with Schweinsteiger signing either just like when was not happy about RVP signing some years ago as said he will be only a short term success given his age, unsurprisingly RVP had only one good season. but Schweinsteiger case seem even worst, he came even older than RVP and look really passed his peak.
Past Shwan, past. Anyway, that's nonsense. Schweinsteiger is a top drawer addition to our squad and a credit to the game. Who exactly do you expect to play for us FFS if you don't think he's worthy?
For **** sake. What sort of bellend thinks schweinsteiger is anything but absolute quality. Different class to anything we've seen in midfield since a short arse ginger chap used to run the show. I would almost say we have finally replaced him. And for 6million... Deal of the century. Shwan, have you watched us this season. Have you ever noticed that after we take Carrick off and bring the German Scholes on, we suddenly dictate everything. It's no coincidence. Carricks bloody good at it himself but compared to Schweinsteiger he's miles off. Literally miles off.
I don't think De Gea was going to sign a new contract no matter what we offered. I'm not sure how true it is, but the Guardian (which is more reliable than the majority of papers) stated that De Gea had been offered a contract of 200K a week by us and it would have been backdated to the start of last season, which is major money as he is on a low salary. He could easily have done a Ronaldo and signed that, and then gone to Madrid for a world record GK fee in a year or two. The fact that he didn't sign (if that story is true) means there's no way it's about money, he was always going to leave us.
Sadly I think DDG is behaving like a tool. United spent big money on him when he was a prospect. He flapped his way through his first season but United stuck by him. The least he could do is sign a short term contract ie 2 years to ensure United get at least their money back. Poor.
Indeed. And its not like Madrid are low on cash either. Even the rat had the courtesy to do this for Liverpool, sign a new contract so that 6 months later they could get mad cash for him. Its what all PL players and clubs should be doing to Spanish clubs. **** em. Pricks
I don't get why he hasn't been shown the door to be perfectly honest. Get some cash for him and he can **** off sharpish and we get on with the season.
LOL I challenge you to find a single quote from any Chelsea fan on Not606 who has said that, if you do I will site ban them
Surely just a figure of speech to reflect the general over-excitement by the Chelsea fans... Tbf that usually equates to someone going to the trouble of making a post on the Chelsea board these days
Who the **** is over excited?!? What are you talking about? The only person even happy is Champions of FFP, and thats at the idea of getting a player United wanted more than Pedro being "awesome".
