***OFFICIAL BREAKING NEWS ON THE GARY CAHILL TRANSFER***

As of 1920hrs today the Gary Cahill transfer is officially...

...stand by your beds...

...the most protracted, dragged out, saga of a transfer for what, at best, is an average Premiership player.

Glad we cleared this one up!!

Average?! turn it in m8, this a very good signing

Agree7 Disagree4

Yeah! disgree with 13.He is what we need
we currently have a very talented footballer playing centre half who is a way off of being up to it.By that i mean positioning,concentration and basic defending.Cahill is a very good old fashiioned English centre half (just what the docter ordered.
Battersea Boy.

There is a chance, a small one, that this post was slightly too sarcastic! I do think he will ultimately be a good signing for the squad. But, in my humble opinion, he is not an elite, top four club, starter. He was after far too much money, which caused the transfer to be far too protracted. Now he has signed I wish him all the best and hope he grows into the club!

Seems to me like if we really wanted Cahill,or he really wanted to join us it would be done already.I don't think he's good enough anyway.would rather try to get Alex to stay

If you could pick any two, three people to come in this January who would they be ? ( I'm talking half realistically so probably not messi)

Hamsik, hazard, subotic

Agree1 Disagree0

Cesar Azpilicueta, Adam Johnson (realistic if City sign another winger) and either Fernando Llorente or Edison Cavani.

I love how people want Chelsea to sign subotic, when 90% of people saying it have never seen him play! Realistically Chelsea should sign 3 players. Cahill is done (near enough) and I feel we need a winger like Di Maria or Eden Hazard, and a striker like Edinson Cavani.

Agree5 Disagree0

And RB surely -- or are you thinking that Ivanovich will do until end of season, or that Luiz should be allowed a run out in that position (though at Benfica he played LB at times I think)? Have lost count of number of goals we've conceded from Bosingwa being out of position...

ED02 are taxes to rise in spain to 50% ? {Ed002's Note - There is the second phase of teax changes about to happen, yes.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

To be honest though the only two clubs we compete for players with in Spain are barca and Madrid and let's face it, they'll be able to afford the big bucks regardless due to revenue and they have far more allure then us. {Ed002's Note - They are perhaps not as cash rich as you think.}

Agree1 Disagree0

But let's face it. There is a massive slide in playing for those clubs due to the prestige. I guess you could rule out unnecessary lavish spending but at the same time the reason players like hazard want to go there isn't because of the money.
