Any paper gossip?

Sneijder snubbed by Arsenal and Chelsea over gargantuan £200,000-a-week wage demands.

It doesn't matter what Lampard does now... his brilliant Chelsea career ends in May.

Chelsea set to add midfielder Taison to growing Brazilian contingent.

CHELSEA are homing in on striker Alvaro Negredo.

A team like Chelsea with Roman in charge should really expect nothing less than the treatment Lampard is getting. Roman doesn't care for the history of Chelsea, nor the legacy of players. The fact is he should be given the opportunity to finish his career at the club. If it costs a few million then do it. It's worth more having Frank on the training ground bringing his experience to the younger players, and pitching in on the odd game. It shows why we'll never have the same legacy as Man Utd or Liverpool. (Obviously we are much better than Liverpool, but we don't have the same legacy they do).

SGT PEPPER BREAKING NEWS LADS


http://www.nufc.co.u...2281670_3024928

Newcastle United can confirm that Chelsea Football Club has made an official offer for Demba Ba which has triggered the release clause in the player's contract. The Club has given the player permission to speak to Chelsea FC and therefore he will not be included in the squad for tonight's game against Everton.

GavRedKing

£7 million isnt to bad I guess.

He'll be a different option.

GavRedKing

Actually will he pass a medical or are the club just going to ignore it and take a gamble.

Is that news? I don't mean that in a sarcastic way, but I thought the transfer fee has always been fixed but that the wages were the problem?

Well, we must be confident of an agreement and wages etc for us to make a bid basically

or if you like

"I would dare to suggest it's him and his representatives who have woken up and realised the reality of his situation and taken what was offered by the club.

They've tried whoring him around and no 'trophy winning' teams are begging him to come on obscene wages so they've had to wind there greedy necks in."

Yeah I guess so, confident enough for them to take him out anyway... I hope it's sorted sooner rather than later, although in standard Chelsea fashion it'll be dragged out until deadline day now.

Has Ba ever had a serious injury while playing in England? IIRC he failed two medicals at Stoke but I can't remember him being injured at all since his arrival to the PL.

Sturridge out..
Ba in!

Good deal.

Squad improved.

GavRedKing

Beat QPR and rub 'Arry's nose in it by stuffing them by a couple of goals, he'll come out and say they expected nothing from this game anyway given our squad is full of UCL winners and all that jazz.

I really hope QPR go down and with 'Arry at the helm it will be even sweeter to watch.

I thought as much, it will be interesting to see how he gets on with our attacking options.

Can only improve you would have to think.

i wonder if Liverpool fancy buying a french international to play on the other wing for them?

not cup-tied in any comp!

Ba looks like a great bit of business for ye.Does anyone else think its strange that Liverpool bought Sturridge instead of going for BA,I know who I would prefer in my team.

The only reason I can think is Ba wanted too high wages and Champions League football next year?

Good bit of business today! A nice hammering of QPR will round of a good day!

Anyone think Torres and Ba could play together? Newcastle played with Cisse and Ba. Would be interesting to see them both, how they would fair.

No, we dont want to go back to playing with 10 men again.
Torres will get his chance in the Europa League

But but Torres is good at defensive headers!!

GavRedKing

Presume Ba is a club signing and nor a Rafa buy, got to wonder so will Rafa show loyality and continue with Torres in the majority of games.

rafa will play a winning team, this is his chance to either get the gig full time or a shop window to get another top team job.
I reckon if you aint scoring, you get dropped and has already said as much re rotation and torres

GavRedKing

Time will tell I guess. As soon as Ba is ready he should start and reat Torres.

So tonight is his last chance to fill his boots before Ba's arrival.

Rafa and Torres have a long relationship. I think Torres will remain the main man with Ba in reserve to rotate with him.

Well Rafa fecked that up big time , same as he did against West Ham, Bloody disgraceful result , Fair play to QPR

Put your best foot forward then make the change , we could not afford a loss tonight , plus playing Southampton at the weekend who are going to field a second team , why not save the weakened side for that !!

Torres once again brutal , I would be delighted to see him out the door in January/Feb

Tubbs4

Really hope if Ba comes he gets a good run in the team as Torres really is not up to it.
I say the league challenge could be over.
Cole was a big miss and need to sign him up

smuckers

Torres may score now and again but tonight was the final straw he was playing against hill and nelson ffs:mad:

back to negativity ... ah well ....

was a nice 3 wins before tonights shambles.. ...

Sgt Pepper 64

lost 4 points to tbe bottom team - nice!

what a day

I dont normally post when im not in work and i never said before i wanted a manager sacked but please Roman get that spanish twat out of here!!! Sick when we signed him and still sick today. Getting beaten by QPR at the bridge is unforgiveable.

pistolpetes11

Bloody fuming , pure arrogance from that team selection tonight ,

Suarez makes clint hill look like an absolute numpty

Torres makes him look like a world class defender ,

The worse thing about this now is RB wont even drop Torres for BA and we need to stop playing every game with 10 men :mad:
