summer is coming

Problem is we can't push higher with Terry and Cahill. We need changes in defence asap.

Valid point there. Just IMO his desire to be here isn't there anymore as he hasn't denied any of these rumors (maybe I missed something) and they've been on for months.

AS is very reliable in Spain, especially Madrid (both clubs) related news. They don't have to bug Costa's phone, just have sources at AM give them updates.

8pm in the UK.

"Diego Costa has reportedly called Diego Simeone to ask Atletico Madrid to wait before signing a striker as he wants to come back".-AS Still no idea who replaces him, hopefully it isn't Lukaku.

didn't see this before I replied your previous post. Spot on.

A slight difference mate, if Hazard and Cesar (agents also) have clearly stated they want to leave then yea crazy monies would get them as with the case of Koulibaly.

Excellent post mate.

"‘I was pleased with my team because I saw the right spirit and a lot of positive things, but I know and my players know that we can improve a lot".-ConteThat's the honest assessment of a man who loves to win but realizes his team needs to improve, he's 3wks into his job and to beat a Klopp team who has had more time at the job is no easy feat. Let's exercise more patience. PS:I apologize for the aggressive response to your post earlier.

I think it can be done if the amount offered is very enticing as shown with some departures from Dortmund.

Dont be ridiculous, mahrez's best isn't better than anything willian 'ever' produced, you must only known willian when he joined Chelsea. Mahrez previous 'seasons' do show he will have to do it consistently or hes nothing more than a one-season wonder.

Sack the coach and take over then mate if you are so disgruntled about preseason matches. This is your second time of moaning.

Best decision ever mate.

Neither is there evidence he will have a season like the last one. Point is he's being declared better than players we have based on him having his best season ever while we had the worst, how exactly is that a balanced approach?

Yes in a season they won the league, why not check his previous seasons.

Don't agree with the mahrez sentiment. He's good but not world-class, we have right wingers as good if not better. If he maintains consistency this season then I stand corrected.

"Well, it seems that La Repubblica are reporting that Chelsea have made the move we’ve all been expecting them to make, with an offer of €45m (£37.8m) ending up on Napoli’s transfer desk (or whichever desk they end up on). However, it seems Aurelio De Laurentiis is going to be his normal stubborn self as the Italian newspaper say he’s built a wall around the defender and wants him to renew. The player’s agent recently revealed all parties were some way off an agreement, with the player wanting to leave. Napoli are said to be studying alternatives in case one of the two Premier League clubs manage to scale Napoli’s wall, with Torino’s Maksimovic a €20m option".

Spuds,Liverpool,Arsenal,Manure.

Yea if most reliable newspapers are repeating same story.

It's the stated 79 million pounds (94 million euros) paid over two installments of 47 million euros. It's pretty much all over the internet.

John Stones is English. We know the ridiculous values english players are sold for. Common mate, Roman isn't exactly a pauper.

Everton won't be paying 50 million. Italian journalists are reporting he would be offered to clubs so his club can get the best fee possible and I don't think they would set the price at £50mil.

Really?.

"On Monday, Koulibaly’s agent has spoken with Radio Crc, as reported by Calcio Mercato , and confirmed that the Senegal defender has failed to agree a new Napoli contract. Agent Bruno Satin said: “I was in Dimaro on Saturday and we discussed a contract renewal however, we are not at the point of reaching an agreement. The desire of the player is to leave the club, not renew.” Satin adds: “We are told by the club that he is a great player but from the renewal on offer, we don’t see this. With a current deal until June 2019, Satin stated that; Last year they wanted to sell him stating he was not focused enough but then last season he has shown all his quality. To the fans I say stay calm because he won’t be joining Juventus, Chelsea and Everton are still interested as they are both searching for a central defender of his quality.”
