41m for Neymar is a tad excessive imo.

Bah if hes worth 40m then lets forget about him. 40m for someone in the brazilian league? youre having a larf

It is too much but this is what you get for paying 50m for Torres. Everyone will try to rob you.

His agent is just trying to inflate his price imo.

40m for Neymar? I'd rather spend 30 on Mata and 10 on VDW.

Mata is also that expensive? So if Mata is a true winger, like Zhirkov do u guys think that he will be great? The only creative player I've seen lately in Chelsea is Zhirkov. Thats why I prefer him to stay. Everytime he plays chances are created. Unlike when Malouda plays, where he tries to gobble up all the chances. We have enough finishers with Drogba, Torres, Lampard, Anelka and etc. We need someone to create something.

Mata seems like a great Creator.

Mata is more likely 20m but I'm saying I'd spend 30m on him and get VDW for the price of Neymar.

I think he'd be great at Chelsea. He is also able to play through the centre much like Silva.

I guess Alex is leaving?

Its doubtful, in January we faced a defensive crisis and I think he was the secondary target after Luiz. Luiz deal fell apart firstly and then it got through in the last minute. So since we got Luiz already I dont think we need him anymore. His loss really lol.

I doubt we'll go for Godin again we bid for him and Aguero before the Luiz + Torres was confirmed in Jan.

I don't know if we are going after Godin or what, but in any case i don't see the point of signing another CB.

[quote]Inter midfielder Wesley Sneijder has stated that he wants to remain at San Siro. The Dutchman has been strongly linked with Premier League champions Manchester United, and Chelsea.

But the 27-year-old made it clear that he wants to remain in Milan.

"There is a family atmosphere at Inter and there are all the ingredients to aim high," he said, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.

"Milan is marvellous, picturesque and full of elegance. I love it. At the moment I am very happy here and I don't see why I should leave."

Recently former Chelsea defender Marcel Desailly said the Stamford Bridge outfit would do well to sign Sneijder.

Whatever

thank God

didnt want sneijder

This doesn't mean Sneijder to Chelsea wont happen, i thought this was unlikely even before his comments. So who knows what will happen.

I kinda hope we get him over Sneijder tbh, even though Sneijder is one of my favorite non-chelsea players.

how much will he cost?

30-35m most likely.

I'd prefer Mata for that money.

30m for neymar?

He says he won't leave and so he will not. Guess regis was right. Btw, is regis on these forums?

Yes, He is Ganso.

Torres said he wouldn't leave. I'm still 90% sure we'll sign Neymar this year.

by the end of the month we will know if Neymar is coming or not.

Yes, hopefully before the 25-26th.

You have to remember that Neymar has more important things on his mind then his future atm. In Brazil their football season is still ongoing, and Santos are playing some important matches in the next few weeks.

So in every interview he keeps saying he would like to stay with santos, but anything could happen in the future.

I see nothing wrong with his statement. He stays loyal to Santos and the same time he does not close the door on the possibility of joining Chelsea.

Lets wait.

Hiddink is a perfect example of this. His tone has completely changed when Carlo was still here.

yeah.

thats why I still believe he's joining us.

1+ rep.

Any news on the dutch duo?
