You can on Pro Evo.

Doubt it would happen but I would be delighted if we could pull this deal off.

Haha, yeah that's madness.

I heard they're trying to get the A-League rights too. Basically they want to ruin football for all Australians, just when the sport was gaining a lot of momentum here. They don't care about the sport at all. I for one will just rely on streams rather than succumbing to Optus.

At this stage, yes.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Prolem solved!

Yeah, you would imagine so. I'd also imagine we would want a straight cash deal now that Traore is going out on loan, because if we swap Remy for Lukaku we'll be a little light on the striker front, especially if we start playing two up front.

Nice work, coco. I was wondering how I was entered in this league when I checked my leagues just yesterday, haha. Anyway, here's my team as it stands at the moment. Keepers are weak, but attack is strong.

So the paper talk at the minute is we are going to offer Begovic and Remy for Lukaku.

Ballack to the future?

Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

No team ever has plans to sell their two best players but if two massive offers came in you have to consider them. If, for example, Madrid and Barca came in for Azpi and Hazard and we would get 165m for the pair of them you are saying you would not consider it?

I agree with this. Whether they are two of your best players or not, how often do you get around 115m for two of your players? Sure, they're losing two players, but they can easily replace both of them and get another (maybe two) players with that money.

Nice call!

I'm a noob, I'm only 206. :(

Can't believe it's been ten years. I know I haven't posted much, but I've been here from the start, and I'm proud to have been here for so long. Even though I'm not really part of the community here, I see so many familiar faces, and that's the reason I keep coming back here to check in on the forum.

Great news. Legend of the club and it's so great to see legends be involved with Chelsea. Yeah, he was a top class goal keeper. Just a shame there were so many good Italian keepers back then because he was good enough to at least make the squad, even as 3rd choice keeper.

It's at least early enough in the window for them to get some quality replacements, which they should be able to do with the funds they would receive from both sales.

Exactly. We need a defender, and in this day and age that price is as cheap as you're going to get for a quality defender. Let's not turn this into another Stones situation. Either get it done or look elsewhere.

He said he would snub us anyway. I highly doubt we would go after him.

It's live on beIN 1, which you should have.

Let's go, Cuadrado! :D

Cracking signing. I think he's going to make an instant impact for us as well!

Who are our realistic options at this stage? No use giving it to Ivanovic or Cahill as they're getting on as well. Out of our younger players it's really only Hazard. He did captain Belgium, but in saying that Hazard isn't really a leader as such. Willian wouldn't be the worst VC either, as he was one of the very few that tried to lift us last season. Zouma is one I think could captain us in the future if he stays with us.

Typical Falcao.
