We were never going to get him anyway.

Fredy Guarin set for Inter stay, says agent:
Fredy Guarin looks set to remain at Inter Milan this month, after his agent Marcelo Ferreyra admitted they have not received any offers from Chelsea
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/9105720/transfer-news-fredy-guarin-set-for-inter-milan-stay

"It's false. We have never got offers from Chelsea. We are happy at Inter."

[Kick]

Lies, all Lies!

[Shed]

Denial


I'm already vetting candidates for your new avatar as we speak

[Kick]

InB4 we sign Guarin on deadline day.

Also, if we're not after Guarin, does that mean Matic is our sole target?

[Shed]

With any luck

[Kick]

The best thing about this bet is either way, I win.

We sign Guarin, I win the bet.

We Sign Matic, we sign a better player.

[Shed]

When comes time for me to appoint you your new av, you'll be singing a different tune won't ya now

[Kick]

Of course I won't. I had a Torres avatar for a month ffs.

[Shed]

Torres avater. Heh. Baby stuff compared to what you've got coming to ya

[Kick]

"The nero azzurri are waiting for the official offer from Chelsea, that would be the only way to move the negotiation forward. But Inter won't wait forever, the deadline has been set for next week. Inter won't wait past next Monday or Tuesday, should the offer arrive by then Inter will be willing to negotiate the sale of the Colombian midfielder. The parties involved are waiting, it can't be excluded that Inter will just keep Guarin."

[Shed]

Even Di Marzio strengthening my prospects

[Kick]

I'm thinking it has to be one of two avatars for you:


Or

[Shed]

You've got it backwards, kid. He ain't comin. Your av shall be mine

[Nedved]

Madrid seems to be interested in Mata. If that's ture, Who do you think we wish comes this way apart from Ronaldo/Bale?

Di Maria should be an improvement on the right?

[Shed]

Di Maria wouldn't even get in the team. Would rather have straight cash.

[Shed]

Besides, player swaps just make good paper talk. Very scarcely do they ever actually happen.

[Kick]

Yeah we won't trade players with them. I wouldn't really want any of their players anyway.

Benzema isn't the best, only I minor improvement.

Modric was someone we wanted years ago but have moved on. Xabi is too old. Their defence isn't any better than ours and our AM spots are stacked.

[Kick]

According to Matic's agent, he wants to move back to the EPL.

As I said earlier, he is available after this weekends game, which will also be the deadline for Guarin.

I get the feeling, if the paper talk is correct, we'll know who we're going to sign by Next wednesday or thursday.

[Shed]

You also said we'd have our first midfield signing wrapped up a few days into the window and would be pursuing further signings thereafter. Safe to say you're the Daily Star of GL

[Kick]

I never claimed to be reliable or correct, it was an opinion.
