Any idea who Chelsea are going after in January?

Gary Cahill, for one. Was hoping United would go after him to bolster their back line.

I am having to watch gamecast. Berbs and Park doing work, I see.

Chelsea draw with Fulham, and City are eighteen minutes from a draw.

 

[DarthVisor]

Arsenal draw with Wolves. Spurs can get four points clear of Chelsea with a win against Norwich City. United and City are tied at 45, with City having the tie-breaker based on goal differential.

Here. We. Go.

Thierry Henry offered deal at Arsenal | Mail Online

Also, per Sky Sports, Henry will accept a loan deal to Arsenal within the next two days.

Something i haven't said in months

 

[orange parmejohn]

blackburn giving man u some trouble.

 

[DarthVisor]

My goodness, de Gea blows.

 

[orange parmejohn]

wow.. wonder if this saves blackburn from relegation

 

[Boogieman]

Just watched Blackburn beat Man U.

I think Jurgen Klinsmaan will have Blackburns Adam Henley into US Soccer training camp in the near future. I thought he played well against top level team.

Spurs are on their way to a draw woth Swansea, and Chelsea are down late 3-1 at home to Aston Villa.

Lukas Podolski would be a very nice pickup for them too. Can play striker and some wing, too.

Hahaha Sunderland score in the last minute of stoppage time to beat City 1-0. Beautiful.

Arsenal have definitely gained a good chunk of momentum this weekend.

no love for this guy?

Fair enough, Liverpool had a solid weekend as well.

I hope SAF does something about de Gea for MUFC, though. He loses more than he wins when he gambles.

besides cahill, ur guess is as good as mine it's always tough to tell...i know theres been rumors about hulk, cavani, and higuain but id say those are all pipe dreams

chelsea is kidding themselves if they believe they're still in title contention with the current squad...but we do need to maintain CL status and get top 4

im fine as long as we get a defender and at least one of the following:
1.consistent striker/wing
2.creative midfielder

 

[TylerD]

I know Chelsea are in for Nick Powell, but I am hoping Arsenal will still make it happen. He is going to be fantastic.

Lot of great keepers in the Bundesliga besides Neuer. I don't understand why United doesn't go for one there.

that'd be awesome, but i doubt he'll be able to make an immediate impact

we have plenty of young talent and we are building on it...the likes of mceachran, kakuta, lukaku, and especially romeu (among others) all have shown flashes and will hopefully blossom into stars, but none have shown the consistent level of play to be considered major contributors in the EPL quite yet

we need proven talent this transfer period if we are going to secure a CL spot...there are too many teams close to chelsea in the table for me to feel confident

 

[volball625]

I would love to buy back Romeu. Not sure we need him, but he's really good
