Based on who we have on the books now and the likelihood of Jose bringing back and using Essien. Having Moses and especially Oscar able to rotate with Mata/Hazard/KdB is not bad in terms of depth either, not sure we really do need to add to that department seems a waste.

Sounds like Van Ginkel could play as one of the 2 holding mids while KdB I believe could play very well with 2 of Mata/Hazard/Oscar/Moses.

Honestly can see the Napoli president using our name to hurry City and/or Real along as I am not sure I see us spending 50mill plus on one player again. Hulk may just be true but I am hoping not because that price is way over the top.

Trying to force Cities hand maybe. Doubt Napoli care who he goes to so long as the buy out clause is met so they can tell the fans they had no choice in the matter.

Yeah... Well I will back who Jose wants but this makes no sense if we are getting Schurrle. I do not think Hulk is good enough to be our main striker.

Would depend how much City want for him. Think he is a good finisher. Though whoever Jose wants to sign I will back. Give him the players he wants and he will deliver imo.

Guess if the other deal falls through then Hulk can play in the wide areas or up top. For the right fee it would make sense since Bayer are meant to be trying to pull our pants down.

Good that this is all sorted now. I wait to see what happens with the David Luiz links growing.

If Napoli really do want Torres can see the holding out for at least 45mill Euro or more plus Torres.

Heh same articles, same quotes, different take on it in the media. End of the day if any of our players would rather ply their trade elsewhere then, so long as we get a fair price, have never been one to want to keep a player who does not want to play for us.

Maybe but the above tweet says Roma are keen to sell and the player has to decide on the move. Sounds more like, from this quote, the club are the ones more pushing for it.

That all worked out good in the end though right? ;) Can only see a couple of reasons why Roma would want him out. He is either now crap, injury riddled or a bad influence on the squad. Why else would you sell a player like him?

lol there probably was not bid in the first place, this guy is just after twitter hits.

Hmm...hometown club with hometown hero...yet desperate to sell him...something seems a little off here...

Expect that to appear on that Italian journos twitter feed soon then...

Ah I see, shame he seemed to have some good posts now and again.

Just to crush us later when it does not happen? Sounds like our press lol.

Not seen enough of him to say how good he is, guess we will see next season.

Speaking of Juve men through and through, what happened to The Moos? He used to be on here a lot and offered good insight in any Juve-Chelsea links. He did get in to a few arguments last time I saw him post, maybe he just called it quits then.

We'd have quite a side next season if Ethans links proved to end up being how it turns out.

Was looking forward to seeing KdB back here neck season, ah well. Hopefully Schurrle ends up being a good signing for us.

One says we pay 42.5mill then the other says we offer 15mill plus Torres. All the while Napoli have indicated his buyout clause would need to be met for him to leave. He may end up here but just do not see these random tweets having any basis in reality.

Jose wants a lot of players according to the press lol

That is a good read :)
