As LVG said, he may keep an eye on Strootman to see how he recovers and go for him in January/next summer. Which is odd if we're unwilling to go for Vidal due to his injury.
Ninja
Given that we're basically briefing lies all summer (i.e. not interested in Di Maria until we signed him) I'm not sure how much I trust that. We're one signing away from having one of the better teams in the league imo. Just need to get them gelled and used to Van Gaals methods.
-----Blind-Herrera
Di Maria-Mata-Januzaj
------Rooney/RVP
Can also fit them into the 3-5-2, but that looks stronger to me imo.
Sam
In time we'll be okay, as long as the club/fans are patient. I trust LVG to make it work, proven track record and he isn't David Moyes.
EDIT: United confirm the Blind news.

Gutted he's leaving tbh, along with the majority of Evertonians. Has the potential, and he can handle himself and his opposition very well. I can't remember what match it was but he started and bossed the game, played a few games after then was dropped in favour of Jags returning from injury which we wasn't pleased about. Never really got a look in since. £1.5mill though is a steal.

Bit of an anti-climax for him seeing as Barcelona apparently were interested at the start of the summer.

That's probably because you guys were playing Sakho so often.

Shows how good that strike force was really, because that defence was utterly horrid.

Song to West Ham looks like it's happening.

Please let this put Benzema on the market and his contract renewal was just to bump his price up.

Changed his tune from yesterday.

This part of the year certainly makes strangely addictive viewing even if it is difficult to think that anything on Monday will ever trump that night, six years ago, when the Abu Dhabi United Group took control at Manchester City and introduced themselves by spraying out big-money offers for just about every superstar footballer who might be available – including, as mentioned here before, a £30m bid for Lionel Messi in one of the classic Garry Cook moments (after a comment about “it’s getting messy” was misheard on a telephone line from Abu Dhabi and Manchester and somehow became “let’s get Messi&rdquo
Can that be true?

No real win win situation in it. The other alternative was to keep him in the squad, taking up a foreign slot and on massive wages, while also not scoring goals.
Chelsea have actually maximised the best possible situation they had. Loan him out for the rest of his contract, Milan effectively covering about half his wages and this then allows us to then use that money saved and invest it into another striker who can contribute more- eg: Remy.
Speaking of which, apparently Arsenal have made a late offer for Remy and activated his release clause- despite 'Arry basically confirming he'll join Chelsea.

Newcastle linked.

Was fairly highly-rated at Ajax but looked distinctly average whenever he played for Atleti.

Awful business, probably makes that in marketing in a year.

Shame it didn't work. Similar case to Veron really.
Ninja
I'm still not sure he'd have made it, seemed to lack the bollocks to take risks.
