Rumour Mill

Fellaini---Ramires

Box to box combo

I've been yapping about Fellaini for the past 2 seasons. But what happens to Romeu?

Another victim of the non-existent youth integration system. Yet another case of a Chelsea manager's unwillingness or fear of playing anything but established stars in fear if it failing to bring instant success, which is really all the glory-obsessed owner cares about. Nothing against Robbie personally, but that's just the way it is at Chelsea.

I feel bad for him. Dunno when last I actually saw him play.

Sorry for the negativity and bitchiness, btw. Just in a bad mood tonight

I don't know what else he has to do to get a go, really. The central midfield as it is now is clearly nowhere near up to par, he impressed hugely last time he got an extended run-out almost a full year ago now, so I really don't know what else the kid can do

Romeu last played against United just after Robbie took over.

Robbie wasn't in charge when we played United

Must have been just before he took over then.

that is the last game I remember.

I think he featured vs Arsenal at the Emirates in April, no? The match between the 2 Barca ties.

I really don't know for sure though.

Perhaps, he didn't feature enough for me though.

Obviously. More than deserves a run-out this year, and soon...

for sure. I am one of his biggest fans and hate it when Mikel plays poor and Romeu doesn't even get a look in.

This talk is bound to come up about ten thousand times for the next 3-8 months. This time, from Madrid bully pulpit AS.

New(and interesting) twist to the Falcao rumours:

Very interesting indeed.

I'll just be happy when all this is over. Far too stressful (and addictive ) for my liking.

I think this would be best for all involved tbh.

Won't be easy, though. PSG will almost certainly be going in full-force for him, which really makes no sense since they have Ibra, who doesn't exactly like not being the main man and it would be impossible to play both of them at the same time, and I question whether Falcao himself would want to go to the French league anyway. Additionally, Manchester City could well be interested, given their shortage of center-forwards....

The easiest thing for us would be to try to get him in January, which is looking to be the most likely scenario if there really is interest, because if we wait til summer, it's going to be very, very competitive.

I agree. Unfortunately it may very well mean we're going to lose Sturridge. I don't see how he'd sign a contract extension when Torres & Falcao are ahead of him.

Can he at least agree to go out of the league? Other leagues seriously lack English players

Honestly, I'd rather get rid of Torres than Sturridge. Actually, if you think about it, there's every possibility Atletico could be looking to have Torres involved in the deal for Falcao, with a reduced fee on our end. It would certainly please the Atletico fans, who obviously love him, given their cheers for him in the Super Cup fiasco. He himself would also benefit from going to a league less, errrr, focused on defending (LMAO).

Should that happen, there's no reason Studge shouldn't stay...unless he actually has himself believing he's good enough to be a first choice center-forward at a Champions League club.

I am against having Torres and Falcao on the same team. I don't want our two highest paid players at the same position especially when we only play with one central striker every game.

Not keen on paying onwards of 40m on a another striker. Hope Alti would be interested in Torres+Cash for Falcao.

If Alti wont take Torres, how are we going to get rid of him?
