Re: The Official Winter Transfer Thread
Higuain rumor seems to gather steam. Any striker would be better than our current lot. Having said that Torres is not given an extended run with Mous stupid rotation. Also I may be wrong, but I noticed Torres was not given enough service and players are reluctant to pass him in the final third as they don't seem to have confidence in him. Instead I see them passing to Hazard.
Also Ba deserves to play more than Eto. I hope Eto leaves in Jan.

Eto'o will leave in the summer, if a CF leaves it will be Ba.

So, were you clairvoyantly demanding for Costa to be signed last summer, or is this just a case of hindsight knowledge..

I was talking about Matic. I never wanted Costa.

Still going with this tired, worn-out excuse?

I think I didn't make my point. I had a few shots then .
I was n't giving an excuse for Torres' goal drought, but an observation on the past few matches. Point is no matter how good a striker is he needs service. Higuain is a typical poacher, only thing lacking in his game is a typical drogba physical play mou wants. I think lack of options for Mou may have forced his hand on Higgy. Lets see.

Torres doesn't get passed to because attempting to involve him in any way is a certain dead end. Countless attacks break down the second the ball is given to him. Wasteful to even try.

Mario Balotelli's Agent wrote: Mario wishes to leave Milan in January. We don’t know where he will go at the moment, we are looking at the different possibilities. Chelsea is one of the options, but there has been no offers and I cannot comment [on whether] we have been contacted.

I don't know how credible that site is but there are two things that stand out to me here, first, these are direct quotes which are either entirely made up or completely true, none of this 'our sources tell us' bs. With Milan's current position, it is very possible that they need to sell some players, they're not good financially and they're doing poorly in the league so Balotelli might want out because of it.
Second, he has a better relationship with Jose than he does with most managers and is technically good enough to play our style and do what Jose asks of him.
If you ignore his ad attitude and off field drama, he'd be a perfect signing, available, cheapish, young the right kind of player, even with his off field problems I'd still be inclined to say go for it, offer 20m pounds, what do we have to lose? Everyone already hates our players anyway.

That like saying if you take away the jamming a lit cigar in a youth player's eye, running over a guy with his car, numerable arrests for battery, assault, affray, etc., punching, stamping, kneeing, general thuggery, and so on and so on, Joey Barton really is a stand-up guy. You cannot take one away from the other. Balotelli is what he is and he's not going to change - for anyone.

Re: The Official Winter Transfer Thread
that site is not credible , I expalined in Milan's thead what Raiola said and 2 months ago (it is not even a recent statement...)
Anyway totally agreed with Shed, this is Balotelli and I don't know if his hype never will fade, he hasn't scored more than 13 goals in a season (with some penalties) and he's a forward...
and I was a Balotelli fan . but I have ceased to be.

Chelsea shelve Kurt Zouma bid...but will be back for the St Etienne defender in the summer:
Jose Mourinho wants the Saint-Etienne defender and is red-hot favourite to land him, but the Stamford Bridge outfit have decided to shelve plans to buy Zouma until the summer
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chelsea-shelve-kurt-zouma-transfer-2968252
Or how about not at all? Sounds good to me.

Shame. I suppose it's best we don't sign him anyway.

Jose Mourinho wrote:"I keep saying that they are not this profile of player that scores every weekend and scores 20, 25, 30 goals in a season. But they are giving everything they have and I am happy with them. No new strikers in January, because we trust these guys and we go with them."
Looks like we'll be signing Matic/Guarin and no one else.

Re: The Official Winter Transfer Thread
Know he more or less has to defend his players, but this 'our strikers aren't out to score, they're there to run a lot!!1' line of bull he keeps bleating out makes him look daft. No one believes that's what he actually thinks for an instant, and least of all him.

Re: The Official Winter Transfer Thread
I'm sure that he is just making a sacrifice to wait for Lukaku...
Re: The Official Winter Transfer Thread
The player he didn't even think was good enough to play over these 3 clowns just this summer? Hardly think his opinion has changed to the complete opposite end of the spectrum in just 4 months.

Re: The Official Winter Transfer Thread
I imagine your sig might have helped change his opinion, Shed.
Lukaku has been in fine form.
