[zuricity]

So Torres was tapped up then , illegal isn't it ?

Seemed to have signed before January as well

Contract can be signed and announced outwith the window but registration can only happen in the window. So it's really a registration window rather than a transfer window.

Patrick Roberts is going to Sunderland.
Still just 24, but slim chances to develop into a Premier League player.

From scoring against us at Celtic in the CL to League 1!

Free, if I saw right. He canceled his loan at Troyes and moves on a permanent deal.

Two observations on the Torres thing.

All this about rebuilding the team around him, sounds a bit like the team they were going to build around Coutinho.

Sterling learning Spanish? Could it be anything to do with wanting to go the the Madrid rags?

[nottsblue]

Newcastle now linked with lots of transfers. Rumours of a loan for Aubameyang with a £20M obligation to buy. Crazy if true, what if they go down

Xavi says Barca can’t register Torres. Mugs.

Xavi says Barca can’t register Torres. Mugs.

And still they are allowed to function. Not just in their league, but in Europe also.
No mention of being excluded, transfer bans, etc.

Let's hope the cheque doesn't bounce either

But seriously, do we then still have his player registration or is he effectively a free agent

[PeterParker]

I was looking at Tuchel's post-match interview and he was asked about Lukaku and he said "we will see" after a chat tomorrow.
My two cents, Lukaku's time at Chelsea is done, he is going either now or in the summer, which opens their interest in Haaland big time and they will most likely pay more than us.

I think we need to speed things up a bit, take it or leave it offer now in January. Or move on. We really might end up with missing him and the serbian. Nunez is smashing them at Benfica, but got injured.
And I fucking hope we still don't have a hard on for Arry.

I imagine Abramovich is none too impressed either with this. Spends in excess of £100M with transfer and agent and signing on fees, pays him probably north of £250k a week and four months later goes behind everyone's back and says in a roundabout way he isn't happy and wants to go.

This could get tasty.
Or Lukaku has to grovel with a public apology.

Either way, it's a huge disruption

I somewhat understand it. He was forced out from Inter. But I also understand Tuchel as Chelsea lost the pace when he got injured, then Covid and fuck knows what else. I think he went full Gestapo on him.
He will go, but where?

Another interesting thing, Conte said: "I feel great affection for him but he’s a Chelsea player." Would they sell him to Spuds?
If so, that means Kane will go. But where? Is there an offer on the table for him? Are we that desperate to have him?

[sheblue]

God I hope not for me not only has the Kane ship sailed, but sank too.

We should have insisted they take Mendy in a 2 for 1 deal.

They got to flog him first, they're deffo not getting their 100m back. They just made 145m loss, I doubt they'll spunk big without flogging him first, Haaland won't be cheap, agent and wages. I doubt very much they'll go for him but wouldn't be surprised. They might be losing Rudiger if he doesn't sign new contract, so they're likely to spunk big on a defender. Haaland will either end up with us or Real, rags with an outside chance seeing they don't have a structure when spunking cash

[sheblue]

Bollocks hes stuck. Who's the fuck is paying a 100m for that journey man donkey.
There is a reason why he's had more clubs than pisses.
