Also, Benteke's agent has rubbished the rumours between us. Phew.

by Shed Mon Jul 08, 2013 2:16 pm

Benteke

A player we already have 2 of. Doubt it.

by Kick Mon Jul 08, 2013 2:20 pm

Gomez has officially moved to Fiorentina.

by Shed Mon Jul 08, 2013 2:21 pm

by Kick Mon Jul 08, 2013 2:24 pm

Our options now are, Cavani (very unlikely) Higauin (unlikely) Ibra (doubt it too.) Rooney (unlikely) or sticking with Lukaku/Ba.

by Soul Mon Jul 08, 2013 2:40 pm

Oh wow. I wonder who we will sign in the end. Why do I get the feeling we'll stick with the current squad upfront..

Ffs. Why are we trying to sign a back up GK before a CF? :facepalm:

what? Clubs pursue all players they need. It is not like back up GK signing is preferred over a CF.

Also Kick & Shed - No offense - if you don't have any meaningful to say but talking to each other you guys can IM each other. Reason it is annoying is I have mail alerts and I only login to see you both talking to each other.

you can disable the email alert on your profile page nedved

by Nedved Mon Jul 08, 2013 7:08 pm

@halamadrid2 - As usual, you never get the point Smile

If Mail alerts is your problem then just disable it. If them wasting this thread is your problem then meh. They mostly talk about the targets anyways Laughing

Such as?

by Nedved Mon Jul 08, 2013 9:36 pm

@ Shed - such as what? u don't realize you both are only ones talking all these days. I am talking in general about the conversations you both have. 3-4 page coversations with little text and more smilies, images and hash tags(Look at your last post). I agree its your wish, but it just plain annoying. That is all I have to say.

@ halamadrid2 - Why don't you mind your business. No body asked you anything.

by Shed Mon Jul 08, 2013 10:20 pm

Most of the "conversations" we have on here are related to things about the club and the current events surrounding it. If the email notifications are a problem for you, simply disable them as halamadrid suggested. Not sure exactly what the problem is.

by Kick Tue Jul 09, 2013 12:44 am

David Villa moved to Atletico, another potiential CF off the list. Smh.

Also, Nedved, don't worry, I'll be away for two weeks starting tomorrow.

He was almost certainly never a serious target anyway.

For all the posts, you have huge images and hash tags added (as signature). It is fine as long as the conversation is short. but sometimes if you both are in a long conversation it runs into several pages due to the total size of each post(due to huge signature), even if you are talking 2-3 words per post. It is your wish to have a signature as big as you want. But as I said this annoys me as I have go thro several pages to read.

I keep mail alerts to watch certain topics, but most often than not I read your buddy talk(Not this thread, but in general all Chelsea threads I watched). so I suggested IM each other for buddy talk. Again these are just suggestions Mate Smile

Time to go back to original topic Smile

by Shed Tue Jul 09, 2013 1:13 am

Oh so now my sig is a problem too. Hm.

As for "buddy talk", I can't recall any lengthy personal conversations between us in well over a month other than brief asides in between football-related talk. And if you're suggesting we shouldn't be having convos related to football, well, I'd say you're probably on the wrong site...

by Kick Tue Jul 09, 2013 1:34 am

Villa may not have been a real target but it's one less Cf on the merket which makes it harder for us.

I can only see us trying for Rooney or Higauin now, I doubt we'll get either too. Crying or Very sad

by Nedved Tue Jul 09, 2013 1:36 am

Ibra may be up for grabs. You never know.

by Soul Tue Jul 09, 2013 1:44 am

Weren't we linked to Jovetic few weeks ago?

by Shed Tue Jul 09, 2013 1:47 am

Linked, yea. For what it's worth...

Our pursuit of Ilori has stalled due to a dispute between his club and his agent, so good luck on that one. Though you guys may be able and willing to make the type of offer necessary to convince the two to put aside their issues for a deal, which we're currently unwilling to do.

Ilori's agent also represents Bruma, who is stalling over signing a new deal with Sporting. In retaliation for not pushing his client [Bruma] to sign (or pushing him to NOT sign) the club have worked hard to block any deal for his other client [Ilori]. Or so the story goes in (fairly) reliable media.
