joao moutinho will leave monaco if they don't qualify for CL. he would be a player that is certainly one to look at too. dunno how much monaco would want for him mind you. 

I would take Moutinho in the center over Willian any day and twice on Sunday

i don't think he would actually be good in the no10 role. he would be better suited deeper or in a midfield 3. he is already in his late 20's so not exactly a long term buy. 

We've been linked with Chinese right back Zhang Lingpeng

Two threads below mate...

I have always liked Jonjo Shelvey wouldn't mind him alongside Matic (this is based on Mourinho not being keen on RLC)

Getting desperate for a CM mate

Still like to see is put in for Tiote. At this point Im envious of Liverpool getting Milner on a free

Doing the rounds on Twitter...

@ChelsTransfer: Chelsea are set to give up their attempt to sign John Stones & instead take Monaco defender Aymen Abdennour in a deal worth £15m (Mail)

Hope thats true. Better player, much less money

Stones is easier to pronounce though, so......

Who?

Aymen to that brother.

The one from Newcastle? you have to be joking.

Well they both have played at Newcastle so, yea! The one from Newcastle

You like average players then?.

Well Wanayama is 'not for sale'. Tiote is pretty good at his job. Box to box, powerful CM. Premier League experience. All things we need. So if youd like to call him average, then yea we could use an average player

He was awful last year, you not getting him mixed up with Sissokho? Anyway it would be a pointless signing, makes no sense. Ramires is better than him for gods sake.

Sissoko would be better. Tiote had some knee problems last season. Hes absolutely better than Ramires defensively, which is what we are lacking

Looks like Boga is on his way to Rennes on a 18 month loan according to French press.

decent enough loan i suppose. i am not sure boga is going to be anything special tbh, nowhere what charly musonda will become. 

Mercato365 are reporting that we've contact with AB about the release of Laporte...yes please...

Edited August 30, 201510 yr by doctorblue

laporte would probably still cost us around 40+ million due to taxes etc, but this late in the window would be a miracle for them to let him go. i see him going to one of the big boys in spain next year to be honest. 

Edited August 30, 201510 yr by enigma

The extra taxes can be avoided by paying a little bit more...just like we did with Costa...please let this happen...Laporte and Zouma would be an awesome centre back partnering for years to come...
