He's a bit old for that, now, isn't he?

I hope they wouldn't buy a winger, I want to see more of Meyer and Draxler

Well, especially Max Meyer is only 17 and should be played with care. You can't put the responsibility for all of Schalke on the shoulders of some kids right now (Leon Goretzka, who is currently injured, is the third of the kiddy trio that will hopefully carry Schalke in the future). So it is important that they add at least a little experience which the kids can lean on for the time being.

As for Dennis Aogo - I just checked transfermarkt.de - they actually list LM as his main position: http://www.transfermarkt.de/de/dennis-aogo/profil/spieler_19354.html

Fair enough, although, I just want to see more of Meyer-Draxler-Farfan

It could be very sexy in a few years. Minus Farfan perhaps.

Eto'o on a free transfer on only a 1 year deal is sensational. Might even be taking a wage cut as well.

Brilliant buy and still only 32 as well. Sensational stop gap signing.

Torres/Ba have to go out on loan be sold though. 4 strikers for 1 position is excessive.

Suspect Moses might be on his way too.

Might? He is taking a big cut.

He will still be earning high enough wages.

It'll be Ba and Moses I think.

I also have a feeling Hilario won't be included in any of our squads.

Is he? How much lol.

Wow, free transfer, 1 year deal and a massive wage cut.

Take a bow Gourlay/Emenalo.

Who cares lol? It's a 1 year deal according to BBC.

£135k a week from £335k, apparently. £7M per year.

Eto'o is free transfer?

Yeah, thats what I've seen, Abra.

He is a free Transfer, Anzhi want to get rid of him that bad

As a Chelsea fan you should know that your club only gives annual contracts for players above 30.

And apparently Mou has promised Eto'o that he will get his extension once his contract expires.

Abramovich wrote:£135k a week from £335k, apparently. £7M per year.

No more Torres & Ba Ade.

From what I heard he's wages are coming down from 300k to 130k.

Eto'o will boss the league tbh only two years ago he scored 36 goals and created 15 more for Inter.

The real African GOAT finally in the PL

Yes Mou promised him an extension providing he delivers, and "free" transfer can be used loosely. He was discussed in conjunction to Willian despite his transfer being finalized, I''ll be surprised to think this was not some sort of double package deal.

We've had Weah, Drogba and now Eto'o. Only missing Milla.

Dat stat padding, cup SF/finals goals and scoring against Top 4 opposition > raping Chievo and Bologna

Seems like the only thing left to sort out now is that CM area. Ramires/Lampard is not good enough.

On top of the reasons others have already given, I just felt like adding that payment structures can influence deals a lot. Maybe Juventus offered a nice and long payment plan and CSKA Moscow wanted money for Honda as an up-front payment. With co-ownership deals and the likes so usual in Italy, I'm guessing that they are otherwise, too, quite flexible with deals with each other.

Shame we missed out on Gustavo.

If only MVG would become a GOAT already.

Fiorentina will make one final attempt to sign Julio Cesar, according to La Repubblica.

My idol Eto'o at Chelsea

What a pity.

Chelsea are CL contenders with him.

Liverpool make €23m bid for Dynamo Kiev forward Yarmolenko, according to Sky Italia.

Chelsea Srebrenica CL contenders with him.

Chelsea could sign prime Pele and Maradona and won't challenge for CL with a clown like Mou in charge.

The best they can hope for is Semi. He's the semi-special one after all !
