Transfer Rumours 2013/14

Rafael is a pretty solid defender, he could be a bit stronger but thats it. The only time we have problems down his flanks really when he's playing well is when he's gone forward, which is fine, because he's for my money the best right back going forward in the league. The more he plays the more he'll learn to sense when he should go forward and when he should defend, but he's only 22, that will come.

As for Smalling, that's your opinion, I disagree. I think he's already an excellent defender, certainly no worse than players that play regularly for either City or Chelsea (Lescott, Luiz, Cahill) and will only get better.

1) Zaba + Walker are better imo
2) Lescott doesn't play 'regularly'

FYI, Glen Johnson is the best right-back in the league right now.

He's been awesome all season.

I wouldn't be terribly against it, but the fact is that if he goes he won't be adequately replaced, If the money is right, let the man walk.

CJ25? Fuck off.

Who the fuck thinks those sound good?

Shanghai Shenhua striker Didier Drogba is closing on a loan move to Juventus in January, according to ESPN sources.

Drogba, 34, who has been keeping fit by training with his old Chelsea team-mates, is unable to move before January 1 after his request to be made exempt from international transfer rules was rejected by FIFA.

However, the Ivorian is keen to maintain to maintain his fitness after the end of the Chinese season and, with the African Cup of Nations kicking off on January 19, could make an initial loan move to Serie A.

The Italian champions are believed to want him for longer and have offered Drogba a one-and-a-half-year contract until the end of the 2013-14 season, but the striker wants a deal until June 2015 if he is to leave China for good.

Juve are known to be on the lookout for a new striker and have been linked with moves for Luis Suarez and Edin Dzeko of late. However, they turned their attention to Drogba when they were alerted to problems resulting in Chairman Zhu Jun, a billionaire who owns 28.5% of the Shanghai club, threatening to stop paying the wages of Drogba and Nicolas Anelka unless he increased his stake to 70%.

CR7 started it all.

Sound like absolute bellends using names like that. Sound like the names of golf clubs seeing as in my set i've got an r9 and an r11

CR7 started it all.
