Maybe Jose is trying to get Lukaku to stay as back up striker?

To be fair I think its time to cut our losses on him, get our money and move onto the next talented youngster. At this point id rather have Bamford as our 3rd choice then Lukaku

Going into the season with only Costa, Torres and Bamford would be stupid.

Cut our losses on him??? He's barely played a game. I know he's been a bit of a dick when talking to the press, but under jose's guidance surely he could do a good job for us. He at least deserves a chance.

Jack,

If he carries on talking to the press about this, that & what he is going to do, Jose will give him guidance alright, to the exit door

Could count Schurle in there too I suppose, though we are still a bit light.

When Jose says we aren't going to sign anyone it actually means we're close to signing a player or two.

I don't think you can count Schurrle when he's played centre forward he's looked lost

apparently we're after Joao Miranda also from Athletico Madrid.....

i think when he says we aren't going to sign anyone he just means it'll not be Ronaldo or Messi

A 29 year old central defender?

For 20mill no less to be a back up to JT and Cahill...

^ Crazy if you ask me considering we have Ivanovic, Zouma and just loaned out Kalas.

Any word on Tiago? Seemed like a done deal a couple of weeks back but haven't heard anything since.

Hopefully it was just paper talk.

I think its fair to say its a load of bollocks.

No way will we sign Miranda, more cobblers from the meeja.

Luckily we're not known for making stupid decisions

He had a chance to stay last season under Jose's guidance but chose to go out on loan instead. I appreciate it was a world cup year but considering his performances in Brazil I wouldn't say it really helped him did it

^ Crazy if you ask me considering we have Ivanovic, Zouma and just loaned out Kalas.

Well somebody will have to cover for Ivanovich when he plays up top so perhaps not such a bad idea?

Rumors of Torres moving to Atletico for 16€m. I'd take that. It would leave us with Costa, Lukaku and Drogba upfront.

Miranda may be included in the Torres deal too

Yeah Right

Yeah Right

It is the 'random rumors' thread, at least be more productive with your contribution and not waste everyone's time, only to open the thread and read 'yeah right'. Ridiculous

Anyone else reckon Jose was bluffing when he said we're done with transfers?

 

I still wouldn't mind one more key player to complete our side. Varane or another defensive midfielder would be nice.

We should be paying them 16 million just to take him. Anyway this deal wont happen. He wont leave because no one in their right mind will pay the wages his is on.

ESPN is reporting that we are gonna bid £30 million for Miranda! LMAO!

Now I know that they are full of sh*t. No way does Jose bid that much money for a 29 year old CB who will start on the bench. And even if they weren't gonna start John Terry, Ivanovic or Zouma would surely get the start rather than Miranda.
