Re: The Official Winter Transfer Thread

[Shed]

pls leave us Guarin

Happily. Now if only our management felt the same

[Kick]

You don't want the sensation, Shed?

[Shed]

No

[Kick]

[Shed]

signing players who are average/not good enough < signing no one at all

[Kick]

I'd rather sign someone tbh, we need depth at least.

[Shed]

It's that kind of sentiment that gave us Demba Ba...

[Kick]

Ba was different, we had Sturridge, that was foolish by the board, in this case, we have no depth to begin with.

[Shed]

We should hardly be concerned with fixing 'depth' next month when the starters themselves are cack...

[Kick]

Thats kind of my point, the starters are poor, therefore they become depth, this kind of signing is helpful and in the summer we could spend big on a first team player.

[Shed]

Except that this signing that would make them become depth isn't good enough for the first team himself.

El Confidencial: Real Madrid refuse chance to sign Falcao; striker headed for Chelsea:
Real Madrid reject offer to try to sign Falcao in January, and, with the striker's behaviour suspect and his relationship with manager Claudio Ranieri strained, the Columbian's agent Jorge Mendes is already working to convince Monaco to let Falcao sign for Chelsea in the upcoming transfer window

Doubtful.

[Kick]

Doubtful but I won't say no.

[Donuts]

any news on whats going on with David Luiz?

[Shed]

Nothing other than what's already been speculated and widely reported - Mou doesn't rate him, will get rid either in Jan. or the summer.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho lines up £48 million bid for Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain:
The Special One previously worked with the Argentine hotspot when they were both at Real Madrid and is eyeing a reunion with his former colleague at Stamford Bridge

[Nedved]

£48 million suggests it is not true and that too wait till summer . No thanks. I would have believed if it were in 30's. I think Diego Costa is the one Mou is after in Jan. We can exchange players with them.

If it is summer signings. I think we will wait..

[Kick]

Oh yay, could have gotten him for 30 odd million in the summer but we got Willian.

[Nedved]

Here is my theory based on rumors . Looks like Mou is after madrid Diego Lopez and this means we may be ready to off load either peter cech or curtotis and may be even both, if we secure Lopez.

Higuain is not what we need. He had an injury and not the same player he used to be. We have good relations with Athetico.We need a more physical player. I think Costa fits the bill - Strong, 6'3 & clincial and cheaper than the cavanis/falcos. so we may exchange some body with them to get him and get Lopez

[Shed]

Even Mou isn't absurd enough to sell Courtois, and especially not for Diego Lopez

[Nedved]

Curtotis wants out if he is not first choice next season. That means either he or cech will leave

[Blue]

Costa will be hell of a signing and perfect for this team. I see more frustration with Higuain if he comes here.

What is the situation with Lewa? is he signing for
Bayern?

[Kick]

Lewa is still going to Bayern.
