Chelsea set to open talks with PSG over French wonderkid Adrien Rabiot:
It’s thought that Chelsea are in the process of putting together a bid that would be worth £10million up front, and would be sweetened by Mourinho allowing Rabiot to remain with the French club until the summer, while they would also get a further £5million in bonus payments if he develops as expected

Is he really that good?

Apparently

I'd rather see that 10m go to an established CM though.

Loan move for Mata

Yeah. No.

According to Wiki, Rabiot was once a Man City youth

Not for long though.

Kickster so infatuated with Cabaye he's posting goal.com articles to get his hopes up with

Actually, it was more of a mock towards you, did you read the article?

Looks like Chelsea are interested in signing £33,000,000-rated Jackson Martinez from Porto.

-Portuguese journalists are reporting that his agent is in London. I wouldn't doubt them TBH.
-Mourinho was seen watching Belgium vs Columbia (for whom Martinez plays) and was sitting with Luciano D’Onofrio, a former technical director of Porto and close friend of Porto's chairman

Given the fact that our strikers have not been scoring too many goals (although they help in the team's play) I think it's likely we'll sign a striker in January.

Shed does it better

He's been in great scoring form the last three years but he is 27, I am not completely for it tbh.

Piverlool are after Bertrand, I doubt they'll get him considering he signed a new contract recently.

My guess he is in for Spurs. I doubt Chelsea would spend that money on 27yr old.

Fernando Torres!

I think we're getting desperate tbh. Eto'o gamble hasn't worked so we're looking at all options.

He played a bit. Was a sub though.
