We can't afford TWO top strikers mate. Don't kid yourself. We're getting one plus a backup like Llorente.

They cooled their interest in Danilo because they have only one non-EU spot left in their squad and they've decided to use that for Douglas Costa instead and they've almost got that deal wrapped up.

How come no major (or minor) news outlet is carrying it?

I hear he has ebola. Those medicals usually take months. Recon we sign him by deadline day. Bakayoko's is a bit different though. strongly suspect that might be AIDS.

They haven't sold to a rival since then though. And that was 5 years ago. Since then they've signed stars like Sanchez and Ozil (and Lacazette). Not exactly in the same boat tbqh (Europa aside).

Where has he said this? Can't see it anywhere. Can you provide a link?

It's a BS rumour because Dortmund's president/CEO confirmed some weeks back that they'd demand £63m from whoever's interested. Why then would we bid £71m for him? Nonsense. Especially when we can get much younger strikers (Belotti, Morata) on the market for that amount.

I think certain "informed" members need to be banned for trying to wind the entire forum up.

Cahill was never really captain though. He was a makeshift in place of JT who was sitting on the bench. Not sure he was ever officially assistant captain either. He just wore the arm band. Makes you miss the old days when we knew who'd be captain when the higher ranked player wasn't there. We had a stable spine. IIRC, the "line of succession" was: Terry Lampard Drogba Cech Cole Good times.

We aren't playing Dave at RWB. That's why we've been linked to Danilo.

Arsenal won't sell him. Pipe dream.

Oh no, he's "positive" about Chelsea 150% of the time. Never a bad word to say even when the club deserves criticism. Tied himself in a knot to defend Jose even when we were 16th and made everyone who criticised Jose look like a petulant ungrateful fan. As soon as Jose was fired, he flipped the script and started attacking Jose. I know unnecessarily blue tinted glasses when I see one. It wouldn't be relevant if he just admitted he was a biased fan. The fact that he tries to pass himself off as a neutral is what makes his take on everything laughable. How's that for being objective?

Hopefully you stick around till the end of the season. Wouldn't want you to suddenly lose your password when we want to get your take on how United didn't win the league. :)

His interview with ESPN is actually funny. Football players are something else.

Did you miss this?

If he was 24/25/26, I could see the board going for him immediately, but I think his age is a hindrance. Don't think it'll happen.

Found your account password all of a sudden, ehy?

Sanchez is not a CF. It makes a lot more sense to play Sanchez as a RF with Hazard at LF and an actual CF between both.

The Sun citing a Daily Mail report that doesn't even exist and everybody loses their mind.

Scroll up a bit in this thread and check the last 2 pages or so of the Lukaku thread. You'll get your answer.

Lads, it's the Sun....

Is it "crap" because you don't like the story? Lol. Just because it's a negative story concerning Chelsea doesn't make it untrue. Be objective. Also, Dan Levene is a bullsh*t artist. I'd trust Tancredi over him. And I think Tancredi is a f**king joke. Boufasi hasn't said Conte will leave. Simply that Conte is annoyed we lost out on Lukaku, which is consistent with what Belgian reporters like Kristoff Terreur reported about Conte having been in contact with Lukaku for the past 2 weeks sharing plans about how he intends to use him in our formation. Losing out on a player you've discussed that much with who looked dead cert to join the team will definitely be annoying. Not sure what's unbelievable about that.

There's no point deleting tweets when people have already taken a screenshot. Makes you look like a mug. Most of the most unreliable ones on twitter still have their most embarrassing tweets from years ago up. There's no point deleting them. Especially when you have thousands of followers.
