Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

I thought that was a Photoshop job but apparently it's real. He looks like an old dear. That's really embarrassing, some sort of a dare, a lost bet, a not so covert signal to Dick Law to press the button on the Kalou deal?

I'm worried we'll do something stupid and give them Walcott.

As an economist he is likely to see such a deal as precisely that........Stupid. I don't see him countenancing that. Least not in a straight swap.

Mourinho will make it difficult and Cech won't come.

If anybody can name a proven keeper of the level or better than Cech remotely realistic, then they should do so? If they can't, then it highlights the exact problem we face...

If I was to answer my own tedious question though, I'd say Handanovic who I've rated for some time. Inter have fallen into obscurity in Italy and have no chance of winning the CL but it would still take a significant fee.

Yeah I agree with all of this, it's Cech or bust for me. I think we'll get the deal done but like you say Mourinho will make it as difficult as possible for us and pretty much do as much as he can to sabotage the deal. I think this one will drag on for a while yet.

Falcao to join Chelsea on loan.

Guess they are setting up a £50mill laundry deal for next summer. Then they will sell him to their feeder club Ruski Krakpipe in 2017. For £60mill.

As expected Mourinho's stalling over the Cech deal.

He allegedly asked for The Ox or Theo in exchange which thankfully Wenger rejected categorically.


Just hope that this doesn't go along all summer and we move on to someone else if doesn't get concluded sharpish.

We should walk away from the deal. The son bitch will probably stall the deal and dangle enough to keep us from searching and negotiating other deals.

Whilst I agree that Mourinho will no doubt make it as awkward as possible for us to get Cech, just walking away after that would be premature. However at the same time that does not stop us from looking elsewhere at the same time.

Begovic if we are going for a good keeper at ~£10m, but if Wenger is prepared to spend in this area then I would try getting our hands on Neuer (I would suggest Lloris as well, but you know Spurs are only going to throw a ridiculous price on him because it's us :/ )

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea on the verge of signing Old Man Falcao, as hinted at above.
