Reports say Pedro has flown into London to finalise a move to Chelsea and we have been cut to 1-3 on.
Mrs Costa stated this a few days ago. If we do get him hats off to u.

According to one newspaper (I know not very reliale) Jose Mourinho doesn't want Pedro and wants to strengthen other areas. It's Abramovich that is driving this move? I hope that's not the case, I rate Pedro highly. Not being able to get in Barcelona's forward line is nothing to be ashamed of with that front 3. I think he'll bring us more pace, goals and creativity. KTBFFH

The worrying aspect is that a number of papers are saying Abramovich is the one pushing the offer on Stones although it doesn't imply Mourinho doesn't want him. However, is this RA's response to the Mourinho antics, "you can have three players but I'm picking them"? We all know what happens to those not wanted by Mourinho, they are squeezed out over time. It was Shevchenko that brought Mourinho's demise to a head!

I think Jose know's he won't get the transfers all his own way. I've seen a few interviews where he has stated he leaves it to the board etc. I get your point though and hope we don't have another Shevchenko disaster on our hands! The positive is that Pedro is a massive upgrade on Cuadrado and Moses, both of which I think should be moved on. Now if only Abramovich would pick a decent centre midfielder we'd be sorted. I wonder if Juve fancy swapping Cuadrad and Ramires for Pogba? One can but dream ay ;)

dan23: I'll join that dream and I am sure thousands of others. Of course Joey Barton is still just about out there!

Come on fellas, stop reading the rags. Please try and use logic with some of this cr*p.
The media only knew of this deal an hour ago. Roman hasn't (ever) made a statement regarding a transfer, yet these morons source knows he is pushing for Pedro? Its known Mourinho was interested in Jan, yet 6 months later its become a fight and he has zero interest?
I know you like to buy into the fantasy the media pushes on us of how the transfer business works and all that, but its painful reading at times. I specifically use this site so I don't have to read the rubbish the media drums up, every, bloody, window!

Jeez, this is becoming an epidemic Melbie, I agree in many respects and this site does like to repeat newspapers verbatim but you know that RA is not one to get on the wrong side of as he does not forget and you said earlier in the week how Mourinho is successful because of his aggressive/antagonistic nature (Melbie: Who does that sound like?) and I think his antics on Sunday probably irritated the Boss. I seriously hope the reports today that Chelsea are 6/4 to sign Paul Pogba by the end of the window don't catch on or you'll have a heart attack.:}

Frensham, my poor naive friend, I said Diego Costa was most likely successful because of his aggressive nature. Not once did I mention Jose.
This site doesn't like to regurgitate the nonsense in the papers, the younger posters who visit this site may, but I'm confident Ed018 gets fed up reading some of the more fanciful rag reports posted on here, just as much as me and many others. Although I've only seen your name on the site for a matter of months, I've used the page for close to a decade, long before the club pages were up, and I can assure you even then, spouting the nonsense from the rags never went down that well. Telling rumours passed on from best mates dogs favourite postmen or Aguero's brother Ken being seen all over Europe was generally what was received the best.
Now that sly dig you made could be misconstrued as antagonist, (lucky I'm not fragile) but you can't be talking about yourself as I'm yet to see you successfully argue a point on the pages, so can only assume your talking about me, as you keep moaning that I play too rough. Once again I'll apologise that your skin isn't thick enough to deal with my point of view on some issues, but it isn't something I can help with. Also I'm fairly sure RA doesn't react like yourself and feel hurt as soon as something he didn't fully expect happens. JM just signed a contract extension. As you know he isn't immune to finding a way out of a club, and I'm pretty sure RA won't want to have to pay extra compo for early dismissal. Maybe in future we can refrain from assuming what RA is doing, as truth be told, we haven't a f**king clue, and nor does the media.

Melbourne: You know in essence I agree with your first part but as we agreed earlier it is a banter page which means a little bit of everything from all sorts to mull over, agree with or rip someone a new one and in your words, have some fun. As for a sly dig, come on, there was nothing sly about it, just banging heads. Of course none of us have a clue what RA or JM think we can only surmise and offer our own thoughts which helps create a site like this so please don't keep getting bent out of shape when it fails to meet your exacting standards. I have got to say you certainly spice it up!

Once again mate, I know you think you're well placed and all knowing to comment on everything, with nothing of substance to back it up, but I haven't once got bent out of shape. And due to the fact we rarely see eye to eye, you aren't someone I put enough value in to want to attack you. If you think that's mean, put your rational hat on for a second and realise we don't know eachother and have no connection other than a webpage dedicated to Chelsea. If you're looking for a friend, I'm not that guy. I'd say most likely you feel like you're being attacked on these things and are attaching a tone to my posts that isn't there.
I did say when I came back that if you post bs, I'll call you out on it. In my view you've posted some bs or talked fantasy world, I've called you on it and I'm yet to set you put fourth any decent rebuttal for the bs. You can continue to say 'its a banter site' and hope it that's a good enough argument to keep spouting nonsense, but for me, its a poor attempt to defuse the fact you rarely have a clue, but post as if things are fact. I haven't a problem with you as a person, I don't know you. I hope you keep posting as the last thing I want is to make you leave the page. But just because I strongly disagree with your views, doesn't mean I'm attacking you. But I won't keep justifying myself. So either be prepared to really debate something and stand by your views or stop complaining when someone challenges them.
