Really looking forward to seeing how Wisdom gets on in the Premiership this year, did really well at Derby last season so it'll be great to see how he does

I normally like to disagree with you about anything and everything, buuut...
Yeah, you're right.

Alan Irvines the biggest problem, probably the worst manager we've had at Hillsborough in my life time, dull defensive tactics, we played Yeovil at home, drawing 1-1 they went down to 9 men and he played for the draw, appalling manager, he's also very boring

Jurgen Klopp on Mats Hummels to Man United: "If it's not a bullsh*t story, I'll eat a broomstick."
Vidal stories still not going away.

Of course it makes sense.
Atletico had no real desire to sell Diego Costa to begin with, hence why they also tried to get him to stay. Thus, the only way a deal was going to be brokered was with Chelsea paying the release clause, which is what Atletico were more or less asking. So including Torres in a deal that offered less than the release clause was never going to be accepted.
Including Torres would have been pointless. Plus, the deal would then banker on Torres taking a significant pay cut to join. Which is unlikely to happen given his stance on being happy at the club.
Wouldn't call it stupid if they turn around and buy him though. They were probably banking on possibly getting him for less than what he would have been valued in a swap deal. Now there is also talk that Monaco will look to sign Torres after James has left and Falcao possibly going to Real Madrid too.

For instance I think he's shite and not worth 2 pence, while Chelsea would probably have him at 20 million if they can get away with it.
Paying the release clause minimises the faffing about, and they can always negotiate later for Torres.

Strange one if true.

That'd be good. Still not as big on Gibbs as you lot, though.

Bojan has played for some of the best teams in the world.

Nah, Mertesacker will still probably start, his reading of the game is unparalleled.
Nastacic will make a fab backup/understudy though.

Rekik will go on loan again, then Demi will be heading on to either coach or NYCFC after this season or the next. Really don't want us selling Nastasic but I don't think Pelle likes him cos he doesn't suit a high-line as much, he's fucking outstanding in a "regular" defensive line

Nastasic is too good to be a backup. He could start for any team in the world imo

Really dragging on for what seems to be a straightforward transfer. Any strength to the whisperings he's dragging his heals because he's more interested going to Chelsea?

I'm pretty sure he did say he'd prefer Chelsea a few months ago.

Lampard to NYCFC it seems

I don't know how welcome he'll be up in NYC - he was among the Chelsea players that drunkenly mocked American tourists stranded in London in the aftermath of 9/11, and the New York Daily News article on it was followed by lots of angry comments.
