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.

Absolute nonsense

Teams use us to try an inflate a players price all the time. Just like PSG have been trying to with Lavezzi, we arent after him regardless of how many "reports" come out. Same with Miranda

Lacks pace, never match fit, not funny and an all round dork.

Think we should avoid.

Pool linked with Berty again

A line from the Daily Express who report that Liverpool are about to turn to Chelsea's Ryan Bertrand as they search for a left-back. Bertrand is likely to cost around £8million.

Really hope we don't sell to them

For 8 million they could have him to be honest.

Well it's clear Bertrand isn't favoured by Mourinho, you only have to look at his exclusion from pre-season to date.

 

We're obviously trying to engineer a move away from Chelsea for him so we might as well accept he's gone. 

 

Ake looks like he's being groomed to fill in at left back at the moment.

Im sure Jose will groom him, but in the end Azpi will cover there and Ivan at RB

Not sure about the original source but here's the story anyway...

“Chelsea have emerged as favourites to sign Real Madrid forward Isco, who is also being chased by Premier League rivals Liverpool and Manchester City.

Reports from Madrid suggest the La Liga giants are keen to offload the 22-year-old after the big money arrival of World Cup star James Rodriguez.

However, despite interest from the Premier League champions and runners-up, the whispers in Spanish media suggest a move to Chelsea is "close" to being completed, with Jose Mourinho willing to dig deep to replace the goals of Frank Lampard.”

Real MAdrid are keen to offload Isco, what better way to drum up some interest then to spread the news that one of Europes richest clubs who have been known to pay over the odds for players through the years are interested. 

No room for him here

Really like isco, I think he be our second best attacker behind hazard. I don't think we need 6 attacking midfielders, so unless salah went out on loan, or oscar was sold, I can't see it happening.

Although last summer we signed willian, when we already had 5 options, so I wouldn't completely rule it out. If he did come, it would be curtains for salah and possibly oscar in the long term.

Most likely a nothing rumour, however I could see Jose sending Salah out on loan as he did seem critical of him last season. Who knows he may have military service too.

 

Hazard, Schurrle, Willian, Oscar and Isco could work, though if we switch to a 4-3-3 then the 2 players for 1 position works out better:

 

----------------Matic/Mikel

 

-----Ramires/MvG------Cesc/Oscar

 

---Willian/Isco--------Hazard/Schurrle

 

Still think the Isco one is a nothing rumour though, Jose said our business was already complete after all.

This is nothing,everyone just loves to link players with us. If true isco wouldent be a bad addition and I'm sure he'd fit right in

Isco is better than Willian, Salah and even Oscar I think.

But it's unlikely. I'd rather have Griezzmann playing in wings with hazard.

Isco would be a great signing. Would love to have him in our 10 spot.

If we sign Isco, we have to sell Oscar.

We're not signing Isco.... 

No need for Isco. He's best as a #10 but we have a handful of players that are capable of playing that role. If we go 4-3-3 he's pushed out wide in a position he is not most effective. Wouldn't be effective as one of the central midfield 3 either.

If he was to leave Madrid i think he'd go Citeh - can be reunited with Demichelis and his old manager Pellegrini.

If we sign Isco, we have to sell Oscar.

Or rotate him with Oscar. Let's face it, Oscar was awful after December, and looked shattered for large parts of the season. He clearly can't cope with the rigours of a long season at this stage in his career. Hazard dropped off in performance too after Xmas. Isco would be a great buy. He'll get more than enough games and could hold his own against any of our creative players.

I would love Isco here but I reckon he's going to stay and actually outshine James Rodriguez.

If we sign Isco, we have to sell Oscar.

Why?

Manchester Evening News: Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are both interested in out-of-favour Manchester United midfielder Shinji Kagawa.

Bollocks if you ask me but hey its the random rumours thread and that was in the paper talk

Edited July 26, 201411 yr by Bobbywoodhogan

Yeah we sold them Mata and we are going to buy Kagawa. Great logic that.

These papers just put our name in every transfer story, it's embarrasing for them really.

Some on here have suggested us signing Remy as a back up option. Wonder what the cause of his failed medical was with Liverpool?
