looks like the whole chelsea thing is true so i am losing hope now of signing him now.

Chelsea will double our wage offer and thats the end of that

SuprSi · 23-08-2013 1:10pm

He's confirmed that they are interested, as an extra target to Rooney. I think we can cross this one off the list anyway.

mickman · 23-08-2013 1:13pm

yep . we face a rush now to get someone else unless we were just going to get willian or lamela but not both

mickman · 23-08-2013 1:17pm

jose just said willian has chosen chelsea

Nothing signed yet but jose said " i know what the player wants" and he also nodded his head when a reporter asked if he was going to choose chelsea

Word is now that the bale saga is on hold until we have announced lamela

SuprSi · 23-08-2013 1:25pm

So I wonder who our next target will be? £30 will still buy a brilliant player, but time is running out and the selling clubs may not want to sell so close to the end of the transfer window. Hopefully Lamela signs but we still need someone else.

There's a great view of the CL from the bench

yeah let him off. If he doesnt want to play for us then so be it. He wont get ahead of mata so he can warm the bench

davycc · 23-08-2013 1:51pm

yea no loss to us if thats his attitude we dodged an overpriced bullet. onto Lamela & erikson next before we run out of time & that Romianian CB is rumoured to be joing us next thurs after his teams next game..

fcuk him....next target

bradolf pittler · 23-08-2013 2:16pm

You really have to question a players mentality and desire to compete when he chooses to play in a 2nd rate league for purely financial gain and now to sit on the bench with chelsea and again (seemingly) choose money over game time on the pitch.
We just have to lock Lamela and erikkson in a room and dont let them out till they sign on the dotted line.

2nd Row Donkey · 23-08-2013 2:38pm

And I think we will all be eating our words when he set the EPL alight. He's too good to be left on the bench. I reckon 1 from Lampard/Oscar/Hazard/Mata will be seeing a lot more bench time instead.

All out for Lamela now.

Not falling over myself for erickson, you'd have to wonder why the bigger clubs of europe are not queuing up for him.

Apparently Sandro 'unfriended' him on Twitter. Hope Sandro gives him a good kick up the hole at our next game against them.

Pacing Mule · 23-08-2013 2:40pm

Bale might not be let go if no replacement is in place.

Saab Ed · 23-08-2013 2:59pm

Real erecting something in the stadium. Wonder why!

So Mourinho signed Willian just so we can't have him, yet he will voluntarily give Mata to United?

2nd Row Donkey · 23-08-2013 3:06pm

Bale to RM, Willian to Chelsea and arsenal to sign Lamela just to complete a miserable week which started so brightly.

Does this Spurs roller coaster ever stop?

Mourinho doesn't rate Mata and Mata would only go if Rooney goes the other way. To me this is Abramovich getting one over on AVB and Levy, AVB tried with Chelsea to sign him and also Levy refused to sell Modric to Chelsea. Chelsea really are the cancer of football

I think people are taking this too personally.

Chelsea are pretty rich obviously, but it would still hurt them more than us if they paid 32m for a player just to stop us having him.

This is one of the biggest signings they've ever made.

This is true, though if you think about it, someone in their squad is going to be unhappy, be it Willian or one of their existing players. Will Hazard, Mata, Oscar etc be happy not playing the big league and CL games, or just coming off the bench? There's no denying Willian's talent, but nobody will get to see it on a regular basis because he's unlikely to play as much as he would have at Spurs. It's a shame really.

This is why I believe them buying him wasn't purely to do with improving their squad, but ensuring our squad would miss out.

Herrick · 23-08-2013 3:34pm

I have no problem admitting Willian is a great player.

But to be quite honest I have to say I'm kinda happy we're not adding yet another mercenary to the team. We already have Benny and Ade which is more than enough money grabbers in my book.

I'm not saying it didn't make the deal all the sweeter for Chelsea, but I don't believe it was a major factor. A silver lining at the most.

I'd say you might be surprised how much game time Willian will get this season. Chelsea will have plenty games and plenty rotation. Mata isn't necessarily gonna be first choice this season. De Bruyne or Moses could go on loan. Oscar is still developing.

It remains to be seen just how good he is and how he settles, but there is scope for him to get as much gametime as Mata, Hazard etc.

White Heart Loon · 23-08-2013 3:37pm

Right, plan B. We need a list of number 10's available for up to ~30m

gar · 23-08-2013 3:46pm

Nothing has been announced.
I'm not getting excited about if he is coming or not.
Jose is a sh!t stirrer. He didn't say Chelsea have signed him.
Perhaps willian is doing some soul searching whether he wants to play football or warm a bench and earn cash.

It's Kia, same agent as Tevez, says it all really. We got played. Why else was he whoring him about London letting his photo be taken in hotels and letting the player upload picture of himself.
