Multiple players unveiled next week

[Guest Sindre]

AVB:

Andre Villas-Boas: "Lukaku will be unveiled with other players next week." #CFC

One of those "others" is Romeu i guess but who else?

[Hutch]

From the same page:

Multiple players to be unveiled next week. 2 of them are confirmed to be Lukaku & Romeu. Others are unconfirmed.

And before anyone feels tempted to jump to conclusions, the word "multiple" can be taken to mean two or more. One example, a woman giving birth twins can be described as having a "multiple birth".

Yeah exactly. I would advise no-one to get too excited about this. It takes a bit of time for Chelsea to agree a fee, agree terms, sign a contract and then unveil a player these days. A new signing we don't know about yet to be unveiled next week?

I wouldn't hold my breath.

Mod has promised us Modric, so its him I just know it.

[Pride of London]

Surely as he has a squad number already Romeu has already been announced though?

Announced yes, unveiled as in presented to the press and so on, no. To my knowledge he hasn't even been photographed wearing a Chelsea shirt, no.

[Pride of London]

Well then it's questionable that Romeu has been given a squad number while Lukaku hasn't and the fact that Romeu can't be unveiled in Colombia so why delay Lukaku's unveiling when the return date of Romeu is unknown. Also if it was a signing we knew about and it was only Romeu why would he say multiple players instead of just saying it was with Romeu?

I doubt AVB would be such a tease.

Because Lukaku hasn't yet been officially signed. Until the deal is finalised, Lukaku isn't our player, and can't be unveiled or even announced as such.

[Pride of London]

Drat... the logic, it disheartens!

[bjd]

I don't even think AVB was on CTV tonight anyway. Where is this source from ?

[Hutch]

All I'm saying is don't expect more than two players to be unveiled. You might be pleasantly surprised yet, just don't set your heart on it.

and "multiple orgasms" can mean......well I dunno really, its a myth isnt it?

Myth? More like a diabolical bleeding liberty when they start to expect more than one.

(Those bloody women's magazines have got a lot to answer for)

Its always want want want, more more more. Never bloody satisfied. Germaine Greer ruined it for everyone.....well men anyway.

I thought the female orgasm was just a myth, like love?

Anyway, if anything it belongs in the rumours section...

*cough* Final bid *cough* went in Monday *cough*

(anyone got any throat lozenges)

[Mike 93]

Any news if it got accepted mate?

You tease!

By the way... The statement is supposedly a lie. Been told AVB wasn't even on CTV today/yesterday and the quote was picked up from Twitter. That's the latest I've heard.

The third player is Piazon I'd say. He has been training with us over the last week.

[mad_mac]

Could one of the others be the young Brazilian Paizon

[Pride of London]

Have to admit I'm going slightly batty with seemingly no real movement towards new signings, hopes were raised, then dashed... Wake me up when the football starts!

True. Right now I can hardly wait for this transfer window to close so that I can finally relax and get some peace and quiet.

[SydneyChelsea]

Piazon can't officially be our player until the 20th of January 2012.

Brazilian laws prohibit the movement of players until they turn 18.

[Spiller86]

That is certainly true, but he was definitely here last week. If the fact that he isn't signed hasn't stopped him training surely it doesn't stop him from being announced. Not bad for marketing purposes, three youngsters generates a bit of excitement for all of them, gives Lucas something to look forward too when he actually moves here.

[mad_mac]

Wonder if Lawro will have anything to say against our signings. He's been touting Liverpool as "signing for the future" but I bet we'll be seen (in his eyes) as stealing the brightest prospects in Europe.

PS. This isn't a dig at Liverpool or the media, just Lawro....he's a dick
