We could've saved the fee if we were insightful enough to scout and sign him up as a youngster.Well last year we could say the same about Smalling. Here is hoping Mourinho can have a similar effect on Jones as LVG seemed to on Smalling last year. Smalling seemed to be injured a lot before and really didnt look like fullfilling his potential, I thought he was very good for the majority of last season...and Jones was the better defender when we signed each of them, Smalling stood still until last year, I would say JOnes has actually gone backwards and was a better player by far at Blackburn.....injuries obviously played a part in stunting progression, make or break year for him really.
I thought there was a tweet on here a couple a days a go he was on his way to Sunderland. Done deal etc.
Think you might've misread. I've only read Southampton.
My random guess is Pepe, despite what Jose said about not buying Portugese players
Id love Bonucci but can't see him choosing us ahead of Chelsea because of Conte.Never thought of him. Maybe if Real want to get Varane properly into that team. They might prefer to sell Pepe and keep Varane for longevity.
Some journalism that
My random guess is Pepe, despite what Jose said about not buying Portugese players
Actually I think he only said that he won't buy players from the Portugese league.
I hope it's not Pepe simply because his thread will be yet another 'he is just what we need' vs 'but he is 34'
They love guessing what someone is going to do and then print it as gospel.
Chelsea were linked with Germany's Howedes last year - at Schalke, aged 28My random guess is Pepe, despite what Jose said about not buying Portugese players
They did say it was someone they he wanted to buy for Chelsea. Of course knowing the M.E.N. they could be just making stuff up to make it look like they are actually doing some work.
I hope it isn't him, bloody hell.
Yeah ffs not Howedes. Could be Stones. Maybe even Varane though not sure we could get him.
A piece on Mourinho wanting Draxler..
Isn't the Daily Star banned?
SAF is going to have egg on his face if we end up shelling over a hundred million on Pogba.
It does say bizarre.
They're just throwing out some random names as usual. There is no reason for us to go for Draxler.
it'd be an utterly disappointing signing.

What, ban a newspaper that has been in journalism for 40+ years but allow a muppet like Tancredi....right....
Everton can just feck off. Always trying to buy on the cheap but wants obscene amount of money for their average players.
Also Schneiderlin deserves another season.
I'd only consider selling Schneiderlin if we bought Kante.
They're equally pointless.
Fair play with that example, however history shows that you can't continue like this forever. More importantly, only the future will tell whether a departure of their world star Simeone will harm them or they are simply that good and can replace him or anyone without much hassle. Maybe he's their answer to Ronaldo, their ying to yang. This time it's not the player, it's the coach. We'll see, mate.
It's always depending on the state of the club. For United Ronaldo was the exceptional talent, but for Aston Villa Benteke was the star man. From my knowledge a lot of clubs suffer after the loss of a such a talent. I simply wouldn't take the risk when it's not necessary. We're still talking about a football club, i take talent over money, but perhaps i'm a bit delusional, i know that some clubs have been run like a business.
I don't actually disagree with you mate in principal, I just don't think the nature of the modern football world makes it a viable business model for most teams.
Bizarre after the crap season he had and the fact Jose supposedly wants an experienced CB? The thing that makes me wonder if it's Stones is they said Jose was denied the funds to buy the player last summer but Chelsea made several high offers for Stones. Not sure who else it could be though in truth.
I'd say Smalling has been living up to his potential for a solid 18 months now, and the biggest difference for me is that it's not just the injuries with Jones, it's the fact he's thick as a brick, lots of his injuries come from rash actions that wouldn't be needed if he played with more composure and smarts.
Oh yess
