Van Butsen

Didn't they just get scorched for the VVD move?

I think the feeling is that all teams break the rules (to a degree) and bringing it into the spotlight get's Liverpool in trouble when they ought not have been (as generally everyone looks the other way). Thus why the fans and Jamie are pissed off at the leak, rather than the club.

Same. Twitter is unbearable this time of year. I have full confidence in the club and manager. If we don't strengthen, then younger fringe players will bare the load next season... which not too long ago everyone was crying out for. Although I think that has cooled a little, when you realise none of the youth players we have sold have gone to any clubs winning regular silverware elsewhere. Still, with the shrewd business we have done recently, champions of England (and Wales), new sponsor deals, playing in Europe again, and one of the best managers in the world, we should be adding some seriously good, first team ready players to challenge the status quo and push us up another level all together. Whether that be tomorrow or in August. However let's not forget, £600M stadiums don't pay for themselves.

What's a fax machine?

He hardly played and when he did it was off the bench late. I don't think we saw enough to judge him on his time at Chelsea. I think he's about Liverpool's level though.

Same

Do what? Loan players out? Why do you have a problem with it? Serious question

Didn't he sign for Liverpool?

Can we please stop citing the sun and dailymail. In case you haven't worked it out, they generate stories using the below algorithm. Club A's Player 1 is in the sights of Club B as Player 2 wants out of Club B.

You'd be a walking advertisement for Chelsea. They're Chelsea tops.

Great players no doubt. Takes more than that to win the league. The last two winners haven't been the best on paper.

The history one is so laughable, really have to quesiton the intellecut of people suggesting it. The small club one is even weirder, okay lets say we are small... whats wrong with being small? We've won 5 titles in 12 years.. it's terrific being small.

If AM sell Griezeman to Man U for say 50M I imagine Lyon would Sell Lacazette to AM for 40 odd So 20M seems about right for Traore, maybe 25 and a buy back clause as you say.

He's their third best player

Good players shouldn't be scared of other good players in their position. They should relish it.

Yep agreed. We need to add players to strengthen the squad, not sell and replace with theoretically better players.

The players looked very reluctant to chuck the three finger gang sign up. League cup + Europa + Cl qualification is a great result for a season where they were nothing special in the league.

I find it unlikely they will slap their 2016/2017 design trend on the new bumper deal with the champions of England for the 2017/2018 season

I remember there was a French TV show (possibly the exact same one) that asked Hazard if he preferred blue or red, alluding to which side of Manchester he was going to be joining. A month or so later and he was at Chelsea.

Random question. What language would Zidane be using when coaching is RM players? Does he speak Spanish?

"Chelsea don't treat their legends right" .. "Chelsea's send off of John Terry was match fixing". Which one is it Journos? How sour

Shame, their short/sock combo is great

Nearest and dearest rivals thread topic. Seems relevant. Mazzarri leaving Watford. Not really sure what Watford are trying to play at, coaching merry-go-round.

Dave's followed by Luiz for me. They were gobsmacking. Matic's, though in a big moment and against Spurs, wasn't even the best goal he's scored for us IMO. I prefer long range hits over the others. Great goals all round though.

God that is sour. So sour.
