I think that Mourinho is a done deal Miky.

[The Special Juan]

SSN seem to think any deal to bring Cavani to City would involve Dzeko going the other way. Admittedly, I was playing pool whilst SSN was on the background but that's what I heard.

These kind of swap deals are always being rumoured and yet never seem to come to the fore. The only high profile deal which involved a swap that I can think of is Ibrahimovic and Eto'o. I think it's very much speculative at the moment.

I think Dortmund would be very sensible to think about signing Dzeko, if they can't keep hold of Lewandowski.

Very true I suppose, I can't remember of many that have gone through except Eto'o/Ibi. It doesn't mean it won't happen, but it is definitely unlikely.

[Holymiky]

I think that Mourinho is a done deal Miky.

I have a feeling that it is a done deal also.

[Holymiky]

I think that Mourinho is a done deal Miky.

I have a feeling that it is a done deal also, or close to it.

[GSC]

I too have a feeling that Mourinho to Chelsea is a done deal

[mystiroakey]

I have a feeling its a done deal

[The Special Juan]

I have a feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night..........

He'll come back and be gone in 3-5 years after it all ends in tears, but with a few more trophies on his CV.

[GSC]

A feeling I have, that Mourinho to Chelsea is a done deal.

[Guest]

Hang around Miky. The dry wit on these boards are part and parcel of the deal here.

[The Special Juan]

The legendary 606v2 Football section wit. Or at least half of it.

[Holymiky]

No worries, i plan to hang around

[Guest]

Switching channels I have just noticed that Chelsea are about to kick off against Man City in the States!

[Bull]

would love it if Dzeko returned back to Wolfsburg!

[Guest]

would love it if Dzeko returned back to Wolfsburg!

would make sense, that's why i suggested it. Just a perfect replacement for Lewandowski.

[Hero]

Can't see Wolfsburg going back for him, his wages would be too high now and they have Bas Dost.

I can see Dortmund bringing in Heung Min Son from Hamburg over the summer.

[Bull]

Bas Dost is average though - being a wolfsburg fan i would take Dzeko back with open arms if we could afford him, im sure Volkwagen would throw in a bit of cash.

[Hero]

I think Dost will improve in his 2nd season. De Jong at Gladbach hardly set the world on fire either but I think he'll come good next time round.

[The Special Juan]

Who's managing City and Chelsea during these pre-season matches?

[Guest]

No idea!

[Duty281]

2 games I believe in the States. No wonder players suffer from burnout.

[The Special Juan]

Well whoever's "in charge" of Chelsea needs sacking if this performance is anything to go by!!

[The Special Juan]

Benitez is still there!!!

[Duty281]

Benitez is still there!!!

He's not going anywhere!

[Holymiky]

Benitez is in charge of the US tour at the moment for Chelsea i think and i think Brian Kid is managing Manchester City?

Also if Dzeko was to leave then i think he would suit quite a few clubs, one of the clubs that i can think of straight away is Tottenham

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I can see Dortmund bringing in Heung Min Son from Hamburg over the summer.

Isn't that a done deal already? Sure I read that somewhere

[Guest]

If I was Rafa I'd have walked after the last league game. He's a bigger man than I am!

Unless.....

.....we don't know something...

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

He's picking up another couple of weeks wages? Don't blame him really.

[Holymiky]

I'm not sure but i think Rafa has said himself that he will be leaving at the end of the season so it seems like thats set in stone

Like he needs it.

[Holymiky]

I might be wrong though.

[The Special Juan]

I think his contract, like Fergie's, will be up on the 1st July (or is it June?).

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Mourinho is going to be Chelsea manager next season.

End of.

[Holymiky]

I think his contract, like Fergie's, will be up on the 1st July (or is it June?).

I think you are right, I think Benitez will finish on the 31st June and the new manager will step in on the 1st July if appointed by then.

[The Special Juan]

Dunno who that is in goal for City but whoever it is, it's the last time we'll see him again!!

[The Special Juan]

It's Richard Wright!!!!!!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I didn't realise he still existed!

Still the most remarkable transfer since forever. How his agent managed to pull off being rejected after a trial with Colchester, to being signed by Man City I will never ever know

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

O'Neill to Stoke gathering pace

[Guest]

O'Neill to Stoke gathering pace

I'd rather him than Hughes.

[Holymiky]

Is there constant coverage on Sky Sports News at the moment? Of transfer news and such?

[Guest]

Neymar joins Barcelona. Part desperation/rebuild for Barcelona after the shambles this year at the top level. Can see Reina joining and probably a new centre back

[Bull]

Is rafa not going to Napoli?

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Rumor is Ter Stegen to Barca to replace Valdes.

And yes Rafa is seemingly off to Napoli Bull

[Bull]

Ter Stegen is a very good replacement for Valdes if you ask me.

[The Special Juan]

I don't see Messi and Neymar working together. From the very little I've seen of Neymar in a live game (you can make Heskey look good on Youtube ) he's a very selfish player who likes to take the ball and run so I'm surprised Barcelona went for him. Maybe this is the beginning of the end of their boring football?

[Bull]

Higuain to Juve apparently.

i reckon Villa will be an Arsenal player before the start of the season and could see United going for Sanchez with Nani going out.

[The Special Juan]

This might be one of the biggest windows in a long time when we look at the total amount of money spent at the end of it.

One player the league sorely misses

[mystiroakey]

OFF TO WEMBLEY..

When I come back I will legitimately be able to talk about PALACE on this thread,,,


EAAAAAAGGGGLLLLLESSSSS.

[The Special Juan]

I don't like the new Everton badge and I don't blame the fans for disliking it either.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, and Nick.

Would you please welcome back to the Premier League after a year's absence. The man who has scored over 100 career goals. The man who has scored in EVERY division of the Football League Pyramid. The man who Zlatan Ibrahimovic models himself on.

That man is the one, the only, Aaron "Wilbrahamovic" Wilbraham!
