I respect the classy AVB quotes when asked about Willian. But I hope he spends the whole season at Chelsea on the bench and consequently misses the World Cup.
Bitch.

Does anyone know whether we were looking to buy Willian AND Lamela? Or whether it was one or the other? Because if we were looking to buy both, it'll be interesting to see whether we continue looking for someone else.
It seemed like we were going for both but when information comes almost solely from newspapers and ITKs it is nearly impossible to know.
ITK handbook, paragraph 17:
Feign ignorance about player, to make it more credible that you've only heard about him from sources within the club.

Had a long chat last night, this is from both the footballing and business side of the club so shouldn't be conflicting stuff.
Bale: No deal as of last night, We have had discussions with Real, but Levy has set a price and indicated what type of schedule for payments would be required, its up to Madrid if thye can come up with it. Expectation from the club that Bale will be in training tomorrow. (My £50 hasn't left my pocket yet)
Willian: He really wanted us but the pressure between the the 2 Russians owners is immense, AVB had conversations with him to try and pursuade him to still come, to be honest there was still a tiny bit of hope he might turn Chelski down as papaers still have not been finalised, but highly unlikely.
Lamela: We are confident this will get done by midweek, but some nervousness around the club, because of Willian.
Chiriches; Should be done by Thursday.
Other signings: Possibly 2 more on top of La la and Vlad, 1 is a striker. we have shown interest in Rebic and 2 or 3 others.
Outgoings: There are only a few safe from the exit and there has been more than Cardiffs interest in Lennon and enquiries for Defoe from England and abroad for Ade. A number of loans are being worked on for the younger players.
I have been given names for the possible incoming apart from Rebic, but the club is royally pissed off so too sensitive tp ost in here, but they are quality
Valenciayid
lamela is looking good...

Utd have interest, he has no interest, not sure if any other clubs are keen, we are very unlikely to sell yo a UK club.

Sadly, this might be on the cards... We don't really need three right wingers if you know what i mean...The Goat
Cardiff are in for Lennon but depends on us getting replacement(s).
FUCK OFF CARDIFF,WE WON'T SELL LENNON!!
Yes I know,but I just don't want to see Lennon go,even if he sits on the bench..It would be too much..
Exactly! Why is it that after losing Willian to Chelski, and Bale being a dead cert to Spain, do I not feel frustrated, angry and my guts are not knotting! I know you already know the answer, but it is because I not only see the flair that we are always associated with at THFC but I now see a steel, a maturity throughout the squad! I see characters and character! I don't see to many sides capable of "out flaring" us! And I can't see any out bossing us!
The Maturity (Equals Winners) bit, was a quote from AVB. And for me, that we will see us get automatic CL qualification this season! Because, the players we have,throughout the squad will not buckle under that expectation!
COYS!!
Ahh that old chestnut.
Why post under the name Grey Fox, if you are going to abide by the code of silence. Just post your real name if you are too scared to actually tell us something that isnt in the paper's.
can't say Hulk is a player who inspires a great deal of confidence. Too expensive and from what I have seen of him, which is enough to make a pretty decent judgement, he is far too self involved.
Lamela, who I've seen nothing off at all, seems to be a greater proposition from what I've heard, and younger.
As for left backs, Rose has looked comfortable but if we are honest, neither Swansea or Palace really put him to the sword; if he can look confident defensively whilst also providing an attacking element against the likes of City or Chelsea, both of whom provide far greater threats on that flank, then all the better but I wouldn't think our LB position is sorted just yet.

VERY CLOSE!!!Wasn't Dzagoev the guy whose arm you sniped off in Call of Duty 4?
Just looked it up and it's Zakhaev.
You only managed to snipe his arm?Wasn't Dzagoev the guy whose arm you sniped off in Call of Duty 4?
What a noob...

Interesting about Mata. Normally I would trust BBC with their transfer news, but this transfer window they have been pretty awful.
I would however, be very happy with Mata behind Soldado.

Mata would have me dribbling on my keyboard. Would be amazing but there is no chance they will let it happen.
Just seen this as well:
