Demba Ba to Chelsea too

[mvP to the Wee]

Isco close to a move to Chelsea to replace Lampard, though apparently Chelsea have also re-opened contract talks with him.

[Nimreitz]

You're kidding. Isco? Wow, that's a blockbuster.

[mvP to the Wee]

Here's all I heard on Sky Sports:

-City offering 55 million euros for Cavani
-Balotelli telling friends he's quitting City and moving back to Italy. AC Milan is the likely destination
-Real ready to offer 60 million euros for Aguero if he truly is unhappy in England
-Man U, City, Chelsea all monitoring the Luka Modric situation since he's having a hard time breaking through in Madrid
-Arsene Wenger trying to convince David Villa to come to Arsenal

[Nimreitz]

Those all seem pretty ridiculous and far fetched. Except the Balotelli thing, but he's not going to walk out on his contract.

Maybe the Brits mean 'quitting' as 'he no longer wants to play with them' Then again, this is Balotelli we're talking about so maybe he really is that nuts.

I've read the Cavani reports on other websites too, so I'm assuming those are true. Aguero tore his hamstring so I'm guessing that will push away a transfer until the summer. Don't see Modric leaving this winter. Wasn't really buying the Villa to Arsenal rumors, but apparently he's going to ask Barca to grant him a transfer this winter to London.

Holtby can transfer to Tottenham now if they pay Schalke a 2 million euro transfer fee.

[mvP to the Wee]

So maybe Benat Etxebarria instead of Isco for Chelsea? Nothing is done for either deal so far.

QPR closing in on Remy and M'Vila. Wonder what they are gonna do with them when the are relegated lol

[Nimreitz]

Where the hell is Newcastle? They should be in for Remy.

[FSH]

Swansea is gonna sell Danny Graham for 2million more then they bought Michu for. Crazy

[Nimreitz]

I really don't know where to put this, but I just feel like I need to say that Lukaku is awesome and Chelsea should have brought him back for the second half instead of buying Demba Ba.

[Ben]

Lukaku is going to be a monster for them in the next few years. Torres will be gone in the summer you'd think, or sat on the bench next year watching Lukaku and Ba tear up the league.

I am very glad Chelsea got Ba however, because with Newcastle losing out on Remy too, even though Debuchy's a great signing and Cabaye will be back soon, I worry for their survival chances at the moment.

Also hoping Southampton play badly under their new boss after the RIDICULOUS sacking of Adkins. Heard good things about the new manager though, Mauricio Pochettino.

[Nimreitz]

Yeah, that's total bullshit. He won back-to-back promotions and had them on track for survival. Hope Adkins gets a better job and doesn't have to go back to the Championship.

Just a few days after getting a point at Stamford Bridge when they were 2-0 down, too.
