Should have waited for the ratings to be back before posting that, and posted it in the willian thread. Apart from that good job.
Damiao would be the most underwhelming signing of our summer, don't want him anywhere near the club. Nobody in Europe going near him now.
amazing gif
He wouldn't get out aliveI would die if Madrid are all set to announce Bale and have every media and fan at the Bernabeu. Then we announce a Bale contract extension and Perez throws a shit fit while being booed out of a job.
I could dream, right?
Get out, get out while you still can!Been at work all day, read the RO have I missed anything else and what's the general mood in here?
Question is why did Chelsea suddenly decide to spend £30m on Willian when they could have done it a week earlier when Anzhi first made the announcement. The stuff about ITK’s leaking medicals is nonsense, as if connected people have to go onto SC website to find out what’s happening. Lazy journos might do that, but not movers and shakers.
The fact is that either Mourinho suddenly decided he needed a sixth very similar type player or Chelsea had another thought.
It’s entirely possible that Willian not joining Spurs will result in Bale not joining Madrid. It’s pure Mourinho for that to be part of his plan (he’s more worried about RM in CL, than Spurs in PL, I’m afraid). This little powerplay potentially screws everybody up; RM won’t sell players to Man U / Arse if they can’t buy Bale. Spurs won’t have the Bale money to strengthen further. As a player Willian’s a big risk at £30m. But as a political manoeuvre it’s, well, quite cute.
We do seem like mugs in my eyes. Especially from what Mourinho said. It was like he was giving us a lesson in how to sign a player, almost seemed bemused Chelski were able to do the deal so late on. The transfer should have been subject to medical. I think Mourinho said something along the lines of 'the player is usually signed on completion of the medical'. He passed the medical, this should've been wrapped up immediately. I realise we don't know all the ins and outs though, and I'm not saying this is gospel. Will be interested to hear from some of our ITKs when the dust settles a bit. Hope it wasn't Levy style penny pinching that slowed it down, post-medical. I was scared ARSEnal were going to move for him (offering CL football and higher wages), I really didn't see Chelski coming out of the blue (excuse the non-deliberate pun).
' All but' being the operative words here!Hardly surprising that people are being cautious about that sort of thing.
Best not to get excited until it's official imo.
Which will be music to Levy ears, Last minute deal we name the price ...
