Of course not. He's a lifer there.
Luxembourg are closer to conference level.
still played well didnt he
Yeah, he really gave the elbow to his detractors...
Couldn't Athletico help him out and slap a ridiculous fee on him. 80m+
What do you mean?
Could they not just turn their current offer down and say he isn't for sale?
For him to sign a contract, the clubs must've already had a transfer worked out. You can tap a player up, like everyone is doing now, but signing a contract without the permission of the club is still a no go. If Costa already signed a contract, Atletico already agreed to a fee.
No he has a release clause and if that articles to be believed, he's already signed the contract to join Chelsea. That's the point.
Oh
oh right I was under the impression players can sign contracts but clubs can't exchange funds.
Do his balls drop a centimeter lower the time the clock strikes 12 on his birthday?
Ahh I see, could he not sign a new contract at Atletico with a higher/no release clause?
The formal right way is to have a transfer fee worked out with the club and then you're allowed to talk to a player. These days it's mostly, everything is agreed with the player and you try to convince the club to sell player X to you. But to sign a contract, without the current club having a deal agreed would be dumb.
I don't think so as he's apparently already signed the contract with Chelsea so it's as good as done.
Chelsea can't trigger that clause. He would need to force himself out of the contract like Javi Martinez did. So Atletico and Chelsea must've agreed on the fee.
Could get messy for Chelsea signing a player that essentially doesn't want to be there from the off, better to cancel the deal and go for someone else perhaps Falcao or Benzima.
Even with the release clause, he could have simply turned down Chelsea's contract. The release clause does not mean whoever pays it, gets him. I dont believe the bollocks about him wanting to get our either. Or if they are, he will as there's no way Chelsea will sign a player for 30mil and surely high wages if he doesnt want to come.
Yeah I think if this report is real then Chelsea will pull out unless Mou can convince him otherwise.
Remember Cavani is in the PSG bargain bin for the discounted price of 60m. He'd be perfect for Mous style.
I would love it if this deal was cancelled, can't imagine that they will find themselves the world class striker they crave for that price.
Mandzukic would really suit Chelsea's style of play IMO. Bayern want to get rid. Win win for both parties concerned. Chelsea gets a good striker at a decent rate and can proceed to refurbish other areas of their squad with FFP in mind. And Bayern get rid of a player not harmonious with Pep's philosophy.
FFS HOW DO CHELSEA SORT THEIR TRANSFERS SO QUICKLY WHILST WE feck AROUND!
SACK WOODWARD!
At the state we're in, you would expect us to make 2 major signings before the WC, does not seem like that is going to happen.
Who cares when we make the signings as long as we get them? Our new manager won't start until mid-July anyway.At the state we're in, you would expect us to make 2 major signings before the WC, does not seem like that is going to happen.
I personally think it is important to get 1 or 2 in before the world cup for a few reasons.
1. Relieve some pressure on bringing all the players in a short time after the world cup
2. Give other potential signings an indication of what we are trying to do
3. A signal of intent to everybody

Nailed it
The World Cup starts in just over 2 weeks, and nothing seems remotely imminent. It'll be late July now. Also, number 3 must be the worst reason to sign a player imaginable.
They could go back in for Rooney if the Costa thing falls apart. The former might need to have a good World Cup for LvG to consider keeping him.
Unlikely. With the way that PSG are planning on spending you'd think that Cavani would be available. Could see Chelsea going for him.
THe only place I've ever read van Gaal is thinking of getting rid of Rooney is wishful thinking comments on here.
Yeah. Rooney's reputation is fine outside of England.
It's probably closer to the other end of the scale: He'll need to do something drastic to change the opinion Van Gaal will come here with - that he's a top player.
Sounds legit.
wenger blocked the deal, what a load of bollocks.What did he do, make a barricade of water bottles?
Where do people get off making up stuff like that
He zipped him up inside of his fortress of a jacket.
Even if it is complete nonsense how the hell could he have blocked the move anyway?
If that was true Fab would give them the middle finger
Sorry fab, we don't want you, but we don't want you to go anywhere else either.

I'd like to imagine he has a fair few players tucked up in there.
