Re: The Official Winter Transfer Thread

You know transfer season is well and truly upon us when Tancredi starts tweeting out bullshit rumours he gets sitting on his arse watching Sky Italy all day

Di Marzio: Inter Milan director Branca met Chelsea in London today where discussions were held regarding Andrea Ranocchia & Fredy Guarin:

We could do much much better then him at the end of the season, in jan we won't have many other options though. Can't see Ba leaving unless we sign a replacement CF

Chelsea hoping to open talks with Southampton next month regarding a move for Luke Shaw:

Looks like we are going for Matic(ex-chelsea), but I really like Casimero from madrid. He is a great prospect - cheaper too.

[Kick]

I'd much rather buy Matic than those two from Inter, they're hopeless and Guarin doesn't even play CM for them!

[Shed]

Saw somebody on twitter analogise a potential Luiz out Ranocchia in deal as replacing a dodgy light bulb with a flat-out dead one

Chelsea expected to make £20m move for Luke Shaw during January transfer window:

That's a lot of money. But then again, we spent more than that to fill up the bench.

If he's as good as they say, I hope he can go on to become a starter when Cole retires/moves on

[Kick]

Tbh, I am warming up to the idea of Matic in Jan.

We need someone in there so why not an ex-blue?

[Shed]

Will end up paying 25-30m for a player we already had right here at the club to begin with

[Kick]

It's certainly better than Essien-Ramires.

[Shed]

What isn't

[Kick]

Essien-Mikel.....

[Shed]

[Kick]

But Matic-Ramires has a lot of potential imo.

That's basically a passing version of Mikel and Ramires, the runner. Which sounds damn fine to me.

[Kick]

Perhaps we could include Essien as part of the deal

[Shed]

Any side with Ramires in it is a side I can't get behind. #useless

[Kick]

Remove him from our team and we have no CL or win today.

#Useless

[Shed]

You do realise we were playing 10-men-behind-the-ball hoofball to win that trophy, don't you? You keep bringing it up relative to certain players like it means something.

[Kick]

I was talking about the goal he scored, actually.

[Shed]

Torres scored a goal that helped us win the Europa League Final and his goal vs Everton on the last day of the season saw us into 3rd. Therefore let's make a permanent place in our team for him. #KickLogic

[Kick]

Oh yes because the EL is as good as the CL.

[Shed]

Did not Torres score in the same CL game as Ramires did?

[Kick]

Ramires scored the important one.

Torres would not have scored had Ramires not scored.

Also, you know this is a foolish arguement because we both know Ramires is a far better player than Torres.

[Shed]

'Foolish argument'. Says the one arguing 2 goals should keep an otherwise hopeless player in the side for
life
