I just remember Arshavin we dodged a bullet there, if he don't want to come we just move on.
I was thinking the same.

whats that got to do with anything?
have we sold bale already? i missed the memo
How about Willian (or similar), Lamela, coentrao and the Romanian?
i expect footballers to do stuff like this
i am more ****ed off by admin for letting ****ish ITK behaviour fly on this site. People talking **** like they know what they are saying, being cryptic as ****...getting people's hopes up
He means we're already bought them.
Selling Bale and bringing in Paulinho, Soldado, Capoue, Chadli and having more than 30m left over is good business.

Calm down, dear.
I have thoroughly enjoyed discussing possible transfer targets.
Bang on. I've never thought he was worth the money. He doesnt score goals, he has a dodgy agent and never done it in a major league.

no thats not what he means actually
Nah man, Levy will do it on deadline day so that there will be no time to buy replacements so that Lewis can buy a new yacht...
If true, it's one setback. One player we wanted and got really close to, but that we didn't get. I feel quite confident there will be other exciting targets if this one doesn't materialize.
10 days, 23 hours left and counting. That's still a lot of time. We can do a lot of brilliant business in 10 days!
i dont understand how people are reading some of the stuff i've written.
no one is ****ed at discussing rumours...i just hate people that play on the ITK tag and take this **** to a whole new sycophantic level. Its annoying
possible transfer target? sure no worries...not some idiot declaring "Yeah its it done. willian will be announced tomorrow"
Its open to interpretation. Maybe he means Lamela, Coentrao, Chiriches and Pjanic then.
Baldini has spend the last 4 weeks, since the first bale bid, going round europe and identifying where the money could go.
We are not gonna be relying on agents phoning us up on transfer deadline day anymore.
I am so ****ing annoyed at this. I genuinely thought this season could be special, but it won't be.
I understand that Chelsea can do this, it's not illegal, it's not even unethical, and it's what we do to Liverpool with Sig and Dempsey. But the difference between us doing it to Liverpool and Chelsea doing it to us is the fact that they have absolutely no need for Willian. It is a blatant, transparent attempt to deny us a target because they see us as a threat, and preserve their status.
Which, under normal circumstances would be fine. It's a club being strategic, and quite clever. But when it's Chelsea, who already have a bucket load of players that play in Willian's position, when they can just decide to chuck 40 million at a player to keep another club down, it all gets a bit boring really. Loads of Chelsea fans on Twitter saying 'LOL How funny is it that we steal Willian' but I hope the neutral doesn't think this. It's seriously boring. Willian won't play as many games there. But Chelsea have been able to chuck whatever money they decide to at the situation in order to preserve the natural order.
Big whoop. We can still do something this season. But it will be breaking into the top 4, not a title challenge. The natural order of things is going to be preserved. Chelsea will still be up there. Man United will probably get Ronaldo or Mata or something out of this. Chelsea will get Rooney. Arsenal Benzema and probably Di Maria. City have spent well already.
We have made big strides to get closer to them, but as soon as we do something will always keen us down. I was so excited that this season would be different but I don't think it will be.
