I would like to point out, he didn't say he wanted to move straight away, just he wanted to come to the EPL eventually.

"Indeed, I hope a big club comes for me."

"I also see that my teammates are playing at Chelsea and Manchester United, but I'm not playing badly over here."

"There will come a day when one of those clubs will show interest and I can leave."
"My preference is to go to the Premier League. It's not because half the national team is playing there, but because it is the world's most watched league."

Seen alot of people suggesting him for ages.

Couldnt imagine Alonso going to United given his history as a 'pool player

by Shed Thu Nov 21, 2013 12:24 am

It might be worth him going there just to see Pool fans self-combust rofl

by Kick Thu Nov 21, 2013 12:24 am

I can't really imagine him coming here either.

That would be a decent team for him to go to actually.

by El Chelsea Fuerte Thu Nov 21, 2013 2:26 am

Courtois and De Bruyne together-good.

And not an English team. Thumbs up

Chelsea 'serious' about trying to sign Radamel Falcao in January:
Reports in France suggest that instead of holding off until the summer Chelsea will make a pre-emptive strike in the upcoming transfer window in an attempt to bring the hitman to Stamford Bridge
http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/444343/Chelsea-serious-about-competing-with-Real-Madrid-for-Radamel-Falcao-in-January

According to Le10Sport there are a number of factors in Chelsea's favour in the race to sign the 27-year-old.

Firstly, Monaco are looking to offload Falcao in order to comply with UEFA's incoming financial FairPlay regulations

Secondly, the relationship between Monaco owner Dmitry Rybolovlev and fellow Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich could smooth the way for a transfer.

Finally, Falcao is represented by Portugese agent Jorge Mendes, who also happens to be the agent of Blues boss Jose Mourinho.

by fatman123 Thu Nov 21, 2013 10:59 pm

Why would Monaco buy Falcao just to sell him in Jan

by Shed Thu Nov 21, 2013 11:07 pm

The whole premise behind this flood of media rumours about his departure of the last few weeks it seems is that now that Monaco have had their tax-exempt status taken away by FIFA, they can't keep Falcao and comply with FFP. Whether it's true or not is anyone's guess.

by Kick Thu Nov 21, 2013 11:50 pm

I wouldn't say no to Falcao but I doubt he'll be sold.

Chelsea join Arsenal and Tottenham in race for PSG's unsettled starlet Adrien Rabiot:
Chelsea are the latest Premier League club to be linked with a move for talented PSG midfielder Adrien Rabiot, who is reportedly unhappy with his playing time behind a number of high-profile signings at the French club
http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/444347/Chelsea-join-Arsenal-and-Tottenham-in-race-for-PSG-s-unsettled-starlet-Adrien-Rabiot

"I know it is important to the leaders and supporters [that I am homegrown]. But that's not enough.

"If I am to be set aside on the day where others players are recruited in my position, it is not worth it."

"I do not want to live the way Mamadou Sakho did."

"After a while, when he realised he would not play much, he took the decision to leave and he did well."

"If a new midfielder is recruited in the winter transfer window, it will change the game for me."

"I would then think about my future."

by Kick Fri Nov 22, 2013 1:03 am

Is he an AM?

by Shed Fri Nov 22, 2013 1:13 am

I believe he's a CM.

by Kick Fri Nov 22, 2013 1:39 am

Then maybe we should go for him.

by El Chelsea Fuerte Fri Nov 22, 2013 3:42 am

How are we able to comply with FFP rules? Just asking.

I actually think it's through smart money management. We've obviously looked at our maximum expenditure and gotten as close to it as possible without going over.

by iNFINITY9910 Fri Nov 22, 2013 10:45 am

Yeah.. by spending 50millions of smart money management..
