    Supposedly Hulk has signed for chelsea for 38m (if he passes his medical) http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footba...lk-deal-856296

    Chelsea are also interested in Dembele from Fulham for about 10m ( he has his belgian team mates hazard + lukaku there) as well as Demba Ba for his release clause of 7m.

    Man Utd want Modric and will try to lure him with champions league football.

    Sunderland are ready to snap up wigans midfielder Mohamed Diame.

    Van der vaart is supposedely going to Schalke for 10m after not getting champions league football again.

    London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham are interested in signing Sochaux midfielder Marvin Martin after he said is ready to leave France.

    Chelsea don't even have a manager. How the **** have they spent over £70 million on players already?

    Shows who's really in charge does it not? Cahill wasn't an AVB buy either if I recall correctly.

    We can spend over 100m (looks likely) and still be in FFP regulations.

    It is. We spend over 100m we won't get kicked out of Europe. Our sponsors with Sauber and Samsung along with the CL win mean our revenue has shot up.

    Obviously not but they are the main factors in our increased income this season meaning we can spend more this summer.

    I don't know how you can think the club don't know what they're doing when it comes to FFP.

    I dont know how your whole argument is based on figures that arent reported facts.

    It's basic maths if you add up the TV rights, Sauber and Audi, CL win money also negotiating with Samsung and Adidas for better deals. Players signed before 2010 don't add up to the wage bill under FFP.

    Fee's aren't necessarily all paid up front too.

    Are you disagreeing with the 100m mark? I don't understand your point.

    Yeah, they signed him from Reading last summer for a lot of money! He would be good at Championship level but probably couldn't cut it at Premier League standards.
    He's better than Zat Knight put it that way

    Arsenal seemed to have signed Giroud. I'm guessing it won't be completed until after the Euros.
    West Ham have signed Jaaskelainen too as a replacement for Green who is leaving for some reason...

    West ham didn't meet his wage demands and he's most likely going to QPR (I think).

    Oh, I see. I heard he was going to QPR, to replace the fairly average Paddy Kenny. But I'm surprised that West Ham couldn't meet his wage demands considering he's a much better goalkeeper than Jaaskelainen, and they could afford paying the wages of Cole, Carew and Nolan last season...

    Well he's not as good as he was but still the best big game player and hardest working player around. Really gutted tbh.

    Gylfi Sigurdsson looks set to move to Liverpool next week, apparently. After Laudrup was appointed manager he apparently met with them(?) but now wants a move to Liverpool anyway.
