Yeah I'm not too worried about Chelsea at this point if that's true. Highly doubt Arsenal would let him go to Chelsea over us, and we're a more attractive outfit then them. Plus would probably outbid them regardless.

Just wondering, why didn't we sign him from Barcelona when he was available in the market (when Arsenal signed him).

Fecking LVG ...
I think the fact we didn't have CL football didn't do any favours. Still, can't really remember if we even tried hard to get him.

Imagine cleaning your boots with an oil rag?

I'd much rather the old tactics of "spit n' shine" smashing your studs against the bog wall, while acting all casual mind.

Seems a brief this Chelsea thing. If it was the other way round we'd all be saying that they're only doing it to make it look like they beat us to him. Might be from us after the 'City pulled out' line.

I think Mikhitaryan being left out and Mourinho comments pre game said enough.

It's happening, just a matter of timing with Arsenal and their replacement.

We can offer more than Chelsea. We can offer more wages than Chelsea and we can pay for his agents more than Chelsea. Even Arsenal will prefer us to their direct rivals.

Chelsea just wanting to save face in front of their fans by saying "we at least tried".

You put your bid back in
You pull your bid back out
In out, in out and shake it all about.

Out of interest, where do the press suddenly find out about another clubs interest?

Do Arsenal brief them? Do Chelsea?

Also, I have a feeling something will be announced after the match. It's happening.

lol chelsea. good one. the 'staying in london' thing is irrelevant too given he was clearly fine with moving to manchester, first with city and now us.

Chelsea literally have nothing to make them a more attractive prospect other than living in London. No chance.
