Bewildered

What would happen if Chelsea bring in another striker? Plenty of time left in the window.

Would be better than Damiao or Osvaldo for me, young, but proven in Prem unlike Damiao and without the attitude of Osvaldo.

Think he'll end up with Napoli, however with the Brazilian transfer window closing on the 20th and the likelihood Napoli would want a replacement if they sell Damiao, this is likely one that will be decided over the next week. From what I've read Napoli are hopeful Internacional will climb down and settle for a couple of million euros less than their asking price. iIMO the only chance we have to get him is to come in and meet Internacional's demands and hope Napoli refuse to match us.

I guess that explains why we are still getting linked to CBs (Erazo, Sorenson) after Lovren signed.

Looks like the only thing that could stop this going through now is if he fails his medical.

Not very positive responses underneath that story Sloppily Cabinet, what an insult!

A couple of bits and pieces which may explain why Roma want rid of such a talented player Doesn't sound like the consummate professional to me.

He seems legit, but a player who wasn't first choice for Olympiakos last season would be quite a downgrade.

Tancredi Palmeri ‏@tancredipalmeri 1m Leandro Damiao has been prized 25m € by Internacional, against the 18m € bid from Napoli, according to Sky Italy

http://www.football-italia.net/36260/roma-wiretap-row Apparently Roma have threatened to sue a Radio station that played a private phone call between their general manager and director of football where it was revealed Osvaldo was only invited to pre-season training in the hope the other team mates would give him a load of abuse in the hope it would drive him to change his mind on joining Southampton.

have they? Suarez to Arsenal appears available at 4/1 here http://www.skybet.com/football/specials/transfer-specials

Looks like they could be getting Leroy Fer and Toby Alderweireld too, think they might have a good season.

https://twitter.com/ciersteele/status/354683356803366912/photo/1 Could be on a wind up, but he posted a picture of himself at the game with Cortese so you never know. edit: beaten, but hope the guy who tweeted is not having us on.

Celtic's pre-season game is over (lost 6-2), it will be interesting to see if he says anything about Wanyama if he does a post match interview.

Isn't that old news? Could have sworn it was in the press that he rejected us a couple of weeks ago. Maybe we tried again.

Ok, so if we offered Internacional 16m, have bid 12m for Wanyama and Banega is reportedly going to cost about 7.5m, it would appear our remaining transfer budget (excluding wages, bonuses etc) is around 35m. Should be able to get 3 quality players with that much even if all three current targets fall through.

0-0-0- 11 (goalkeeper is CL level striker playing Russian fly)

Not to mention his impressive form last season will keep the price really high, doesn't matter really, Chelsea would be foolish not to give him a chance next season IMO.

Tancredi Palmeri ‏@tancredipalmeri 2m Considering that Negredo is close, and there is meeting for Jovetic, so seems Osvaldo deal is not going through for Manchester City So that door closes for Osvaldo, perhaps he will reconsider joining us now Atletico have got Villa and City want Negredo and Jovetic instead.

Oh well, on to the next saga we go.

Interesting link from a napoli fansite that has reported that Former Napoli coach Gianni Di Marzio (who's son is Sky Italy's top reporter Gianluca Di Marzio) called into a radio show in Italy to talk about Damiao situation. He thinks Damiao will end up in England. http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=it&u=http://www.canalenapoli.it/news/gianni-di-marzio-leandro-damiao-andra-in-inghilterra-mentre-spero-che-j-cesar-arrivi-al-napoli-76479&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dleandro%2Bdamiao%26safe%3Dactive%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3D0zZ%26sa%3DX%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26biw%3D1366%26bih%3D606%26tbs%3Dqdr:h
