oh yeah, you're right. i totally forgot about the cut that these agents are going to get.

the rags are making lots of noise regarding our alleged pursuit of neymar. i did some digging and guess what? this time they weren't lying. there's an official rejection in brazilian (anyone care to do a direct translation? lol), but it reads something like this : ""Santos FC declare they have received an official proposal from Chelsea FC of England for the economic rights of forward Neymar." But the statement "reiterates that Santos FC have no interest in opening negotiations".

i got that from another site. but here's the official link :

Santos FC Official Rejection

u can easily make out the that we were involved in some sort of bid, and were turned down.

Interesting. i also read that santos had a promising striker named andre who had a 41 MILLION pound buyout clause inserted into his contract, but was subsequently sold for 6.7m to dynamo kiev.

if we can get neymar for less than 20 mil...worth the gamble? honestly i'd rather have him than torres.

me too...but he will be my 3rd choice...Aguero..Suarez then maybe him and Super Mario....

haha we'll forever be in the kun aguero camp me thinks!
out of the choices you've put out, i'd say mine's similar. but i'll exclude balotelli, as i fear inter will drive a difficult bargain.

cech managed to get himself injured again... maybe out for 4-5weeks...

cech out for a month due to calf injury...

seems like he is becoming injury prone...we need solid backup for cech, rossbull is da MAN!!

cech got injured? dammit...

Rossbull is the choice!! Give him experience!

One month is okey lh...more playing time for Hilario and Turnbull...

I am worrying he is becoming an injury prone.
I rather have he rest more than he becoming an injury prone.

And also, somehow I prefer Turnbull more.

i think we're gonna miss Petr. hopefully he'll be back soon.

get well soon big pete.

Turnbull can fill Big Pete glove any days..I just pray that all the outfield players will be fit before Community Shield..

n still no latest signing..damn frustrating man..

Bally, Joey, Bella, n soon Deco..no replacement for these world class player?

i like turnbull. but he is no where near petr yet. he has potential but i think he isnt ready for the big games yet. i dont think he can cope with the pressure.

better him than hilario me thinks... remember the famous "hilarious" mistake during mancity match at the bridge...

Bally position most likely to be fill by Essien..then promoting Mikel to be a regular starter..as DM...

Joey..i believe Benayoun as quick solution..before Kakuta ready...

Bella...dont really know who as his backup...but if Hutch fit all season then he can fill the gap...

Deco...maybe this is the answer...Ramires!!!!

Kaka for A.Cole is almost going to happen

besides,with ballack and deco is gone,i't d think this offer is too great to resist

is ramires a good move?... he has great stamina... but his skills n techniques are still questionable... i think 20m a bit too much for him... neymar is still better than him...

thats not the case actually..the truth is we dun have a decent backup goallie..in fact no team does..so based on SOME of Turnbull actions last season especially against Inter, i reckon he prove enough to be ahead of Hillario..N indeed the bloopers against city was not helping him either..

guys may i ask something
will bosingwa get back his usual first team spot?
he is fit to play already right? or he is now 2nd favorite for RB

bosignwa still injured
