Sell Toure, get Fabregas.

Crazy.

sell toure...
get fabregas and fernando for the same money

[blues2win]

All the money's on the chavs getting Fabregas. That may mean either Oscar or Willian being sold. I suspect City realised that Fabregas's agent was using City interest to bump the wage offer elsewhere. Since the Arse weren't interested Chelsea may be the choice because he prefers to live in Lomdon. It also looks likely that we're going to hardball with Yaya and that doesn't fit with buying Fabregas.

No at all. As said before we will have to replace Toure very soon anyway, might as well do it when we can get a fuckload of money for him still.

Agree with this. I can not understand why we aren't jumping on getting Fabregas in and sacking off Toure.

Fabregas is a seasoned top level highly professional player of the highest calibre and Toure is an aged top level less than professional player of the highest calibre, one will cost less than £30 million to bring in, the other another 30-50k a week and added years to his deal just to keep happy.

Toure was a beast last season, but if he wants out and Fabregas is available at a lower cost, we shouldn't hesitate! Toure has to go in the next 2-3 years, why not now when there is a ready made replacement itching to take his place.

Report: Portland Timbers make offer to former Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott

Is help on the way for a Portland Timbers defense in need?

One day after allowing three or more goals for the third time this season, the Timbers have been linked to a lucrative deal to land long-time English Premier League veteran Joleon Lescott, a free agent center back who spent the past five seasons with Manchester City.

ESPN analyst Taylor Twellman reported Monday that the Timbers have offered Lescott a multi-million dollar deal to bring him to Portland, where head coach Caleb Porter could certainly use his help. The Timbers lost to Vancouver 4-3 on Sunday, pushing them to 24 goals allowed in 16 games, tied for second-most in the Western Conference.

The Timbers declined to comment on the report when contacted by MLSsoccer.com on Monday. The club dealt long-time defender Futty Danso to the Montreal Impact for a 2015 draft pick on Monday.

Lescott, 31, was let go by Manchester City last month and has since reportedly turned down an offer to join Turkish giant Galatasary. EPL sides Aston Villa and West Ham have also reportedly courted his services, as have Queens Park Rangers.

Lescott began his career with Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2000 before a move to Everton in 2006. He appeared in 113 games over three seasons for the Toffees before he moved on to Manchester City in 2009, logging 105 appearances with the club until the sides parted ways. He also appeared in four matches for the club during their 2013-14 UEFA Champions League campaign.

Lescott has logged 26 caps for the England national team, his most recent contributions coming in 2013.

"Lescott has 'logged'"? Ahhh..... ! it is of course the Timbers ! He should be a perfect fit for them then.

France Football saying that Hazard has just met the owner of PSG and been offered a huge package. If that's true which I rather doubt Chelsea will be able to blow everyone out the water for their targets what with the fee for Luiz as well.

[blues2win]

And there's 32 million of it with Costa officially passing his medical. Quick and efficient. Come on City.

[dick dastardley]

Aren't psg on a transfer embargo??

[blues2win]

No they've got the same limitation as City I think but yes they'll have to sell!

[Im_Spartacus]

No they've got the same limitation as City I think but yes they'll have to sell!

Marquinhos will go for big money, puzzled why they are swapping him out for Luiz in tho

[Saul Goodman]

If they bring in Hazard will we see Cavani go to United? Like you said above, they have to sell

[DoomMerchant]

It does seem bizarro for sure.

Marca saying Real are going all out for Suarez with a Bale level bid. Can the dippers resist? He is on a long term contract but I suppose pretty well every player has his price.

[PeterParker]

Real Madrid and Florentino Perez really are the cancer of football.

Rakitic going to Barca. The rags snubbed yet again.

Guess Fabregas is going and they got snubbed by Koke

[blues2win]

Catalan radio station saying the Arse have bid for Pedro who may be unsettled at Barca. Another snub coming for the rags?
