RMC (French radio) say Falcao to Chelsea in July already agreed

Spanish journalist, very reliable. Broke Hazard to us 30 mins before anyone else.

Let's hope it's true. Get FSW and Torres out, Falcao, Fellaini and a proper manager in and we mean business. Rumour is Guardiola is off to Bayern. Leaves the Manchester clubs (and possibly us ) fighting over Jose.

 

bloody hell, if that's true, they've got Ibrahimovich, falcao and Lavezzi, i think they could win the champions league next season with that frontline.

 

Moura and Pastore as well

 

They need a Jose/Pep type manager though not Carlo lol, they are struggling to even win the french league at the moment

 

Ancelotti will be gone if they don't win Ligue 1, but he really is on borrowed time, won't be there in 2014 no matter what. I'd say he won't be there in July if you ask me...

 

Agree. Be interesting to see who they get though

 

Did you read the title wrongly? Says he's coming to Chelsea not PSG. Dip sh!te.

 

Benitez would of been a good shout but he's going to Madrid, if Mourinho doesn't want us or vice versa can see him going there

 

you watch now, it'll be dismissed as bullshit

 

Forgot about them.

 

Think Pep and Bayern is probably likely. They are a Club with long term planning, they replace properly, don't waste billions on dud players, and build continually on their strengths. They buy the odd player to reinforce their patterns, and it all works seamlessly with Managers who stay for several years with the opportunity to build and create a winning team.
If I was Pep, that's what I would want, instead of what we offer.
No long term planning , everything geared to the instant gratification and /or whim of the owner, incredible interference from the owner and Board, little call in the buying and selling of players, totally decadent method of operation, huge waste of people and money, zero job security.
Pep is no fool and the choice is a no brainer.

 

If Torres makes an exit in summer, who'll take him and at what price?

 

Give him to Anzhi. They splash the cash.

 

Pretty much spot on.

Jose on the other hand is a different animal and I can only really see us or City getting him. Liverpool and Spurs couldn't afford the wages and/or transfer kitty he'd demand and both look to have good young managers in place for the longer haul. Arsenal thankfully will keep employing Wenger to win nothing year on year and clearly Fergie aint going anywhere this summer.

That leaves us and City to scrap for Jose assuming Pep doesn't come to England. Can't see City keeping Mancini if they don't win the league given the horror show in Europe.

 

Would be a great signing and hopefully it's true but can we last the rest of this season with Ba and Torres? If Ba gets injured we are farked given the way Torres has bee playing.
And over the Mourinho situation. Fergie will stay with United for a while longer so they're out of the equation. Everyone at City loves Mancini. You reckon he would get sacked for coming second the season after he got them their first league title for many years?! The fans love Mancini and I don't see why they would sack him.

Mourinho recently got a house in London... He says he wants to come back to England. I think he would jump at the chance of coming back to us tbh but only if he has a good word with Roman... If Roman gives Jose what he wants, he will come back. Can you imagine having Mourinho, Falcao and Fellaini instead of Benitez and Torres?! Too good to be true but likely to happen!

 

If City could lure Pep or Jose I think they would sack Mancini if he finishes the season without a trophy (which is looking likely). Mancini is proven as a good domestic manager but a poor manager in Europe and if City want to go after the big prize (C.L) they'll need someone better IMO
