leave this thing. Danilo made two mistakes. Madrid fans already started calling for his head. In this transfer market 27 million for him is a normal price range, you don't expect Madrid to sell danilo for 15 million.

Moses was converted to a wb and he did well. much more will be achieved on danilo who is already a natural full back when he is given the necessary training. The few chances danilo got last season did he perform terribly? No.

CapitalCee:
Don't mind him you can't do that in England that is why they have limited trophy success compared to those in Germany and Spain. Flopdiola is a good testament of that analogy

raumdeuter:
WHo cares, you chose who you wanted

raumdeuter:
Now this is a challenge, Show me 3 other big clubs in Europe that has 10 players currently in their team bought from their league

CapitalCee:
trophies are not the only criteria for how big a club is.

I don tire for hensbrain's matter. He says the most absurd things. Even his fellow Chelsea fans dont take him serious. Yet he ll come here with some bullshít of being a football fan b4 a club fan blah blah blah....

raumdeuter:
Should I find link for you where Guardiola is also interested in Aubameyang to prove its right? or Bonnuci or Alaba or Javi Martinez, or Kimmich

Lana1:
THis guy eh. U are trying so hard to be relevant.
This is Uefa's current rankings:
https://thumbsnap.com/i/wtTO6cSY.jpg
I guess City and Benfica are bigger than Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen is bigger than United. For God's sake, go and pick up ur sense from wherever u dropped it and stop embarrassing urself

raumdeuter:
Who told you Guardiola wanted to sign Alves? Going by the same logic we have like 10 players Guadiola wanted to sign already

If Guardiola wanted Alves he will pay for him

raumdeuter:
All the EPL teams Alves faced at Sevilla, Barca etc didnt they have pacey wingers?
Guardiola is trading his old full backs and looking for younger ones. I have said that as far back as last season

Man City are reducing the age of the team.

Jesus Navas for Bernado Silva
Cabalero for Ederson

2 players over 30 for 2 players under 25

ChristineC:
what do you really mean by this bulls you always type?

Lana1:
U ve been spewing this crap for quite some time now. It still hasn't made u any more relevant or any less stupíd!!

lordfalcao:
hahahahaha.. Whether danilo is crap like you keep him, I know dude is decent and the price quoted for him which is in euros is better than the 60 million quoted in pounds for Alex Sandro..

SIRcumalot:
some site dey report say the option to buy,na 60million euros.

weedtaker:
typical apari, james is nothing different from mata, yet you don bcome town crier for him matter, de give us break down on our to execute deal on a player wey we already get the better version.





see wetin him even write about zLatan, yet him de call me salty, Prophet of doom

raumdeuter:
James to play for Bayern for a fee of 10M. After 2yrs when the market go don red more. Bayern CAN buy for 35M

Meaning in 2019, you can buy a player of James stature for a total of 45M. EUROS thats less than 40M pounds.

Think of the caliber of players going for less than 40M currently not to talk of in 2yrs time.

James is a top talent, forget that he is chopping bench in Madrid, His problem was that he wanted a free role in a team that has Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema who contribute little defensively. Play James in a team without much defensive responsibilities and he is a beast

check the price other Barca/Madrid outcasts like Sanchez, Ozil, Dimaria, Higuain etc were sold for and now James for a Max of 45M EUROS

raumdeuter:
Top notch business we got James without having to pay 80M or 60M.

The James Rodriguez deal:
€10m for a 2-year loan + Option to buy in 2019 for €35.2m

Leyqute:
Repeatedly 'pissing' in Chelsea's face should not be Mourinho's main purpose.

Chelsea is like that garrulous younger brother you deal a dirty slap and he goes to factory reset. One dirty slap is enough. Mou should have his own transfer targets and go for them. Shikena

Wayne Rooney

"I have just seen this kid make a couple of seasoned England defenders look very basic, then nonchalantly dink the ball over/around the keeper....then jog back like it was some sort of regular playground mess about"

That was during an England training session & the first time I had got to see this kid named Rooney... At the time there was a load of hype, and he didn't disappoint at all!

I saw Wayne's family that week in the players lounge after the England game vs Turkey and told them to make sure they get Wayne over to Old Trafford asap - that's the kind of immediate impact he had on me. I wanted this ridiculous talent alongside me for years to come on a day to day basis!

It happens, Wayne signs for Manchester United - I am over the moon... I'm buzzing knowing that this kid will scare not only defenders but all teams to death and yep he has just signed for us. Like a fan, his debut was an occasion us players all couldn't wait to see... why?? A few reasons really

1. Was he able to do it on the big stage for Man Utd
2. Can he handle the pressure that comes with the £30m price tag & all the attention that comes with that
3. Was he too young for all this
4. Did he have the temperament.

These were all valid questions of an 18yr old phenomenon.....and he answered them in explosive fashion with a hat trick on his debut vs Fenerbahçe - again Wayne took this in his stride like he was born to do this!

I'd seen many quality & hyped kids coming through at West Ham United like Joe Cole, Carrick, Lampard, Defoe..and many more over the years since at Man Utd like Pogba , Ravel Morrison, Lingard etc but none of these guys could compare with Wayne in terms of being ready physically(built like a middleweight boxer from 10yrs old!!) & his in game maturity with a ball at his feet (awareness, decision making, finding space, and a work ethic that rubbed off on others).

Even when Manchester United signed a £12m pound Portuguese wonderkid of a similar age by the name of Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne was still the more mature footballer at the time. Cristiano at the time more interested in showboating while Wayne was all about doing things to affect the game and fit in as a total team player. Obviously Cristiano worked that one out soon enough & went on to do all sorts!!!!

But what I'm getting at is when you see hugely talented kids anywhere in the world you usually get a "what a talent this kid is, *but* " there's always a *but* but is he big enough, but is he strong enough yet, but is he quick enough, but can he pass it well enough, but can he score enough goals.... one of them questions if not more would have been aimed at the names I mentioned above around 18yrs old for sure - not Wayne Rooney. He ticked every box at 18 and that was the difference, he was a man at 18 & ready to take on the world on any football pitch!
Don't get me wrong he wasn't perfect, he had a temper that needed keeping in check on & off the pitch & he was at the perfect club with the perfect manager to help him with that. From within the club there were no doubts as to whether this kid from Liverpool would go on to be a great at this great club in Manchester.
There are so many moments I can go back to where he played a part in taking my breath away, like his overhead kick vs Manchester City , the lightening breakaway goal at Old Trafford with Cristiano vs Bolton, the volley vs Newcastle from way out, I could go on and on!!

But above those great moments he produced when putting the ball in the back of the net was Wayne's humility, his willingness to sacrifice for the team, play out of position(left wing/right wing at times) because the manager said so.
Also a huge part of his game was about a high intensity work ethic putting teams under pressure & his mentality that the team came first always. A truly unselfish footballer. He worked tirelessly after training on his shooting, doing it at match pace... none of this slow & chilled out shooting drills that you sometimes see players do - match tempo practice so when it came to games, he has seen them pictures daily on the training pitch & can execute more efficiently. He worked on his free kicks daily & his general ball striking.... None of these records get taken down without all that extra practice & focus so he deserves it all.

Wayne done it his way & in doing that has broken long standing goalscoring records for both club & country, and will no doubt go down as one of the best players to wear Manchester United & England shirts.

He was the best all round centre forward I played with & I played with some greats!
Great player, great guy & great family man *but* terrible singer!!

lordfalcao:
the deal will happen, unless you are ready to become a DM for Chelsea.

Ibime:
That is how transfers work. It happens all the time. A club needing to sell a player to balance the books will offer you another player that they are happy to sell even though you approached them for a different player. It is not uncommon to go ask for example Monaco for Fabinho, and Monaco will respond saying actually we would like to keep Fabinho but we can make Bakayoko available for X amount.

That's how Leeds phoned Man Utd to discuss Denis Irwin and before they knew it, Leeds intimated to them the availability of Cantona.

I surmise that Chelsea made an enquiry for Manolas. Roma, knowing that Chelsea hold a long-standing interest in Rudiger took Manolas off the market and offered Rudiger instead which Chelsea were happy to go with because they need an established defender anyway. If they miss both Manolas and Rudiger, they might not find a defender till window close.

It's like a barefooted person coming to your shop to buy shoe, but you offer him slippers instead because he is the only person that has ever shown interest in buying slippers. Meanwhile you know you can sell the shoe at any time because many people are showing interest in shoe.

Nihilist:
Pogba was sold because Ferguson could not stand raiol. Stam was not sold because he lacked talent.

Jose is the only person that sold almost half a billion pounds worth of talent and managed to convince fans it's because they were not good enough.

That individual deserves a lot of credit for what he achieved at Chelsea. He also deserves a slap.

dubylhover:
the thing is that Chelsea won't give us matic now...if we are truly linked with dier,then there is problem oo...I'm not sure we are even going to sign a midfielder self,Nd we desperately need one....
d player I had in mind was rabiot of psg,but hey its just wishful thinking....Psg won't se

Nihilist:
Jose sha

Lana1:
No mind dem. Sebi na Bernardo Silva talk say it has always been his dream to play for City since he was small. When he was small, City were bouncing between First Division and The Premier League

dubylhover:
I get your points,but honestly we don't even need matuidi...he just a workhorse b2b mf with little brain...we need a em that would sit behind pogba nd Herrera,fabinho self isn't that guy..when he's deployed in d mf,he's most effective when he bombards forwards..that's y he was able to get a couple of goals..is love us to get fabinho but as a rb not as d dm we actually need not want...

you know d funny thing about the whole transfer window is that the only effective dm who could actually sit in front of d defence and do a good job that we've been linked to is matic..but hey the money is outrageous..let's just see what the board would do

patrickmuf:
The Madrid approach is akin to our model in the Fergie Era but as things stand now, we are short of quality and leadership all over the pitch thus it'd be suicidal for us to try such, in the near future, I'd expect us to back to our roots.
