This would be a good season.

Chelsea win the League and Champions League.
United win nothing.
The underwhelming imposters that are Villa get relegated.
Liverpool continue in obscurity.

Actually. That just might happen.

acc to a chatter on CFC website we're in negotiations for a third player, a midfielder. Either Mccarthy or Leon IMO

Is that James Mc Carthy? and who else?

Kamon McCarthy, imagine him Josh and Ramieres in a few seasons time.
nice.

SSN : Torres given permission as C helsea and Liverpool agree a fee

Gonzovision · 31-01-2011 8:26pm

hurry up and do the medical, and watch yer dodgy knees and ankles or whatever

smuckers · 31-01-2011 8:26pm

James McCarthy would be a good signing

Waiting on the fee to be agreed, it was only a matter of time though TBH.

The third player I have been told is Dimitri Payet from St Etiene, but Luiz and Torres are the 2 main priorities.

Johner says hes going to PSG

Raedwald · 31-01-2011 8:42pm

Payet turned down Chelsea, quoted as saying he wants to go to psg.

So what was all that about personal terms, image rights etc.
I thought all the details were thrashed out hours ago.
So it could still fail on personal terms then?

Not too fussed about Matic, he had the talent but not the temperment, wasnt he in a bust up or something?

It seems like SSN muddled it up, the "fee" was the image rights.

Either way its looking good.

Johner · 31-01-2011 8:47pm

If the 3rd player was McCarthy i'd be delighted!

Was someone telling porkies earlier?
Imagine that. He's been in about 7 helicopters today.
Hope the medical goes ok:p

Care to explain that.
Image rights are negotiated with a player not the vendor

smuckers · 31-01-2011 8:50pm

I'm worndering how are we going to accommodate Torres in formation.

I would imagine its got something to do with all the advertising that liverpool have with torres in the ad, Posters, websites ect....

MGMTea · 31-01-2011 8:52pm

Take good care of Torres, if you hurt his feelings I swear to god !

That has zero to do with transfer fee
You sell a player his image rights go with him. Again nothing to do with the vendor

amiable · 31-01-2011 8:53pm

Torres is obviously main man now and Drogba will play second fiddle to him

Seemingly not according to events today, BBC said it was Image rights that held the deal up, like you say players usually have their own deals ect but he's not in charge of what the club (liverpool) do with him as regards the clubs own advertising....

IMO you can't pay 50mill and not play him in his best position

cson · 31-01-2011 8:59pm

Chelsea should be looking along the lines of Torres and Drogba up front with two attacking wingers.

Something like;

.................Torres...........Drogba....................

Malouda...............................................Anelka

..............Essien..............Lampard...................

If you went and tried to effectively overpower teams it'd cause havoc imo.

he may have to make a few guest appearances off the bench first.
Carlo won't automatically drop Drogba at the tip of a hat.

Oh, simple, it goes like this.
The players come out of the tunnel and line up.
As they go along shaking hands, the opposing goalie shakes Anelka's hand, (slight quiver), next in line is Drogba (Knees start involuntary shaking) he then shakes Torres hand, breaks down and runs off screaming like a little girl:D

We are the FAMOUS CFC!!

GavRedKing · 31-01-2011 9:02pm

Drogba wont be dropped for Torres, not a chance

Also about the fee, it doesnt matter its sorted.

Wait until 11pm and we can confirm if Torres and Luiz are both Chelsea players.

pistolpetes11 · 31-01-2011 9:10pm

Sat in an Irish bar in Amsterdam lapping up deadline day with a pint bottle , ah pure bliss

smuckers · 31-01-2011 9:13pm

Good man Pete, was in Eindhoven in summer for the W cup, atmosphere was electric.

smuckers · 31-01-2011 9:14pm

Hopefully they will be player before 11

Panthro · 31-01-2011 9:25pm

Someone please tell me Danny is only going out on loan...

Read that too, though the was only half an hour from London.

On SSN it sounds like Danny is going to Bolton permantely :mad:

I was watching SSN online and it scrolled across the bottom "chelsea's sturridge close to completing"...and then it froze on me...arrrggghh!

smuckers · 31-01-2011 9:27pm

apparantally Torres can't play on Sun, that was part of the deal. :mad:

WTF how can they accept a bid and then prevent Luiz from going??????

Yeah makes no sense, I'd say they are playing hard ball saying he is still in portugal? Could they fax his contract over and do it over the phone and wing it on the medical

Johner · 31-01-2011 9:34pm

Sturridge is definitely a loan move.

Gonzovision · 31-01-2011 9:34pm

RT @lee_clayton_: David Luiz removed from plane to sign paperwork to be lodged with PL. Then he will fly to London. Deal done. No panic

FFS!

BBC says this

1955: I was speaking to a football agent last week, and he told me that if clubs wanted to wrap up deals in time to beat the 2300 GMT deadline for transfers, they really needed to have the player undergoing a medical by 2000 GMT so as to get the assessment done and dusted in time to get the required forms off to the Premier League. Consider this your five minute warning people.

it finished with "on loan to Bolton"

Masssive "thanks be to foook". Like Danny, think he will be class for us, great experience for him too, hopefully plenty of first team football, then down the line, back to the bridge to partner Torres up front.
nice!

Raedwald · 31-01-2011 9:36pm

All is good in the world so.

smuckers · 31-01-2011 9:36pm

Cheers Gonzo nearly had a panic attack there.

Luiz is going to vital as he can play anywhere across the back.
