Jose Mourinho said the striker had the wrong mentality to fight for a place at Chelsea:

Good lord I hope Romelu proves Jose wrong here. However, no-one can say he doesn't like young players, like Balo, Varane, Oscar, Hazard etc. He's rarely wrong. Guess Lukaku just didn't fit.7/31/2014 7:57:05 AM

Apparently Madrid want to do business now instead of losing Khedira for free to Munich. We need a saga, what's the saga?7/31/2014 8:10:49 AM -

There was some fanciful talk of Edinson Cavani to Man United yesterday but the man himself insists he's staying at PSG. "Am I sure I will stay? I am sure I am staying, why would I not be? I am good in Paris, under contract and calm. I feel good here. But, as I have already said, it does not only depend on the player. It also depends on the club and what is going on for them."7/31/2014 8:15:39 AM

Twitter really lost its s**t last night with talk of a fee being agreed for Vidal. Everyone was saying the BBC was reporting it, when in fact it was merely their gossip column regurgitation some guff from caughtoffside.com7/31/2014 8:15:48 AM -
I'm glad Cavani is calm, that makes me calm too. Calm as hindu cows we are.7/31/2014 8:23:09 AM

If Carvalho goes for £24m can we stop all talk of an English or Premier League premium for transfers? 30 top flight appearances in Portugal and a couple of loan moves to weaker divisions by the age of 22. Crikey.7/31/2014 8:23:31 AM -
I was never convinced by Khedira to Arsenal. A brilliant footballer, definitely, and will improve us. But he is not really a holding midfielder, is he? Also has a questionable injury record (quite risky considering his reported wage demands).7/31/2014 8:23:46 AM
