rumors saying we're bidding 20M for Ox. Not sure if Mou really wants him or Mou juz wan to irritate Arsenal for bidding for Cech?

Ox can be a gud back up keeper for Courtois thou. Rmb that save? LOL

Would love to see him come. I like him as a player, and always sign him in my PES master league oso. Not bad as a CM.

So if Mikel leaves, next season our pivot. Matic, Fab, Ramires, Witsel?

Let's not forget we have MVG and Romeu back from loan, duno if they are in Mou's plan for next season. Hope to see MVG play for us thou.

Btw, someone juz editted Baba Rahman's wiki page.

About the news that Real bidding for Courtois. Even tho it seems reasonable, accepting huge bid for Courtois, using Cech for few more season, look for future GK for the next 4-5 years. But somehow I feel it brings the wrong message to Courtois and the team.

It's like saying, 'everyone in Chelsea FC has a price, if the bid that comes in is very very big amount, u'll be sold for the benefit of the club.'. Which I think it's the not right mind set for the players and management of the club. Courtois was promised first team football, and he did played majority of the game. Just when Courtois is appreciated by the fans, just when he starts to get familiarize with Chelsea, just when he starts to bond with our defends, then just because of an astronomical bid comes in and we sell Courtois? How will Courtois feels? Betrayed? Some how it feels wrong to accept even an astronomical bid from Real.

To be fair, Cech has won everything with us. CL, Europa League, PL, FA cup, Carling cup. Now Cech certainly feels he needs a new challenge dy. There's ntg left to win with Chelsea. He had won almost every cup available. So I'd say, let Cech leaves, and honor his choice, if he wants to go Arsenal, just let him go. He deserves to make his own choice after giving his all to us. But that's for Mou to decide.

tldr version, Cech has had his prime in Chelsea, now is Courtois' time to shine. And selling Courtois would send the wrong message to the players and the fans.

Gk like Courtois and Cech dun always appear, maybe once every 20 years. So I say we keep Courtois, at least he is younger and more future-proof.

later end of transfer window. DDG and Courtois stays. Real go for Cech. win - win - win.

Later Real really come knocking with 60M. I'll take James + 60M. Deal done.

Morally it send d wrong message to the team. But if really 60M...... World record for a gk wei.

the changing my mind part, was trolling la. impossible bid 60M for Courtois i think. haha

Courtois can give us a solid 10-12 years if we treat him right. Since his loan deal in Atletico, he has always made it clear, he wants to play for us 1 day. If we treat him and show our appreciation, he'll repay us with 10-12 years of gooding saves.

#beeshpreesh

ADM + DDG, then dpt Courtois.

Liverpool closing in on Illarramendi? I say why not we snap him up! I mean if Mikel is leaving, we can look at Song and Illarramendi. I think Illarramendi can play well alongside Matic. Great Wall of pivot.

Yea. The plus side of Song is he is considered as home grown. So now we have Song and Witsel link to us. So who do u guys prefer if Mikel leaves?

Song or Witsel?

Hulk and Chelsea, a never ending love story.

what? Utd bidding 7.5M for Schweinsteiger?!?!?! So cheap? Can hijack bo? Schweini + Matic.

So u all hijack Cech's deal last minute, and we hijack ur Schweini deal last minute?

Manchester United are nearing a £7.5million deal for Bayern Munich star Bastian Schweinsteiger, writes Steve Bates in the Sunday People.

Old Trafford boss Louis van Gaal is confident he can lure his former player away from the Allianz Arena and transfer negotiator Ed Woodward has been tasked with making it happen.

Midfielder Schweinsteiger – who will be 31 in August – only has a year left on his deal with German champions Bayern.

And it is believed the Germany star is tempted to link-up with Van Gaal, who managed him when he was in charge at Bayern from 2009-2011, at the Old Trafford giants.

Germany legend Lothar Matthaus said: “Schweinsteiger needs a coach who will play him according to his strengths, and Van Gaal will do that."

sos kicap

So cheap!?!??!

Pls la, some other teams like Spurs or Real or PSG hijack the deal last min.

If that's the case, I'm afraid Arsenal's back 4 and defensive structure will destroy Cech.

haiz, seems like Cech to Arsenal is a done deal. Sad, but gotta look forward. So now who do we sign as Cech's replacement. Knowing Mou, we know he won't simply let players leave before he find a replacement. So who will come? Green? Begovic?

GK - Cech out, Green/Begovic(?) in

DF - Luis (possible) out, Alderweireld (?) in. but if I'm not mistaken. Spurs is leading the way to sign Alderweireld. Actually I prefer we keep all out defenders.

DM - Mikel (?) out, Dembele/Witsel/Song (?) in? I prefer Witsel or Song here. Either 1 will do. Song will help in homegrown quota.

AM - nobody out? Salah return from loan, Traore dpt work permit. If Traore wants to stay with us. I think someone nids to move out. Just like 2014/2015 early season. We started with 6 players for trident, Schurrle, Hazard, Willian, Oscar, Salah, Fab. HAzard is sure starter, in the end not enuff game time for Schurrle and Salah to shine, so we have to ship them out, and sign Cuad. I think 5 players for trident is enough. Hazard, Oscar, Willian, Fab, Cuad. So who to move out to make way for Traore?

ST - Drog out, Falcao in. I hope Remy stays though. If he leaves, we might nid Bamford as 3rd choice.

After juz half season in Fiorentina, Salah suddenly bcum hot prospect for Serie A team. His pace really deadly in Serie A.

Latet Cech join West Ham / QPR!!! big troll on Arsenal, they sold Ospina dy if i'm not mistaken.

Can we swap Cech for Ospina?

Baba Rahman's rumors getting stronger. I dun mind selling Luis and getting Rahman. He is still very young, can be good understudy to Azpi. He also did very very well in Bundesliga last season despite juz being 20 years old.

Baba is currently the 7th ranked player according to the latest Bundesliga player index with an average of 2.9 interceptions, 3.5 clearances, 1.4 dribbles, 0.5 shot blocks and 4.8 tackles – the highest tackle rate by any player in the Bundesliga.
