So weird that Sideshow Bob is back at Chelsea. I'm so surprised that Conte has gone for him. He likes defenders who can actually defend. Perhaps he's going for a back 3 after all, since he's signed Alonso as well. Use him and Azpilicueta wide, along with Terry, Cahill and Luiz in the centre.

So, Chelsea spent a ridiculous amount of money on him. Everyone laughed. Then sold him for even more ridiculous money. Everyone asked 'how the fuck?' Now they're spending most of that money on bringing him back. Think something needs to be investigated here...

It does seem odd, almost as if selling him back in 2014 for £50m or so was some kind of FFP money laundering excercise, and now they are obligated to buy him back.

The way Sky Sports is wanking over Wilshere's loan move is sickening. Earlier the reporter was gushing over Jack's rise to fame and Bouremouth's rise to the PL, trying to make it sound so romantic. The guy is just a dislikable, under-achieving spunk trumpet. I honestly can't understand why people in this country think he's so wonderful.

Wouldn't put it past them. The whole club is just a money laundering front for the dodgy fucker.

Anyone see the Bruno Martins Indi interview with Sky Sports? He gets very familiar with Mark Hughes' son. :ROFLMAO:

It's a real shame, as I've got a lot of time for what they've been putting together at Bournemouth. Didn't need this ****.

Chelsea spent £25m on Cuadrado 18 months ago, he made 14 appearances for them in six months and has been on loan ever since, now for THREE YEARS at Juventus.

Furthermore they have 35 players out on loan.

Something isn't right about this surely?!

Cuadrado to Juve on a 3 year(!!!!) loan deal. 3 year loan deal:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Chelsea are so odd with their transfer strategies.

Nonetheless, I'm absolutely delighted to have Cuadrado back. He was immense last season. 3 year loan is a bizarre concept. Juve have to buy for €25m should they trigger clauses such as appearances, etc. Most likely paying his wages in full too. I just don't get why Chelsea didn't just sell him straight out.

I think clubs like Stoke and Palace have made some good signings. Compared to 18 months ago, those squads are much stronger. Those mid table clubs are getting more competitive now.

Even Leicester's had a good window. Losing Kante is a massive blow, but they've signed some good players and bolstered the squad well.
