So, has there been any official confirmation of the Salah to Chelsea deal yet? I find it very strange after all the comments that it still hasn't been confirmed he has signed. Strange.
Sure it will go through though..

The thing I found strange was that Chelsea have to go to him to do the medical and agree personal terms. It kind of sounds like he's being forced into this transfer. But when Chelsea do travel over to him they will convince him with their massive packag.

yeah that was also very odd. why the heck do they have to travel to Switzerland? i am sure the deal will happen, but there is just something very strange about it all.

Which means Chelsea now buy player just to bench them, ruin their career just to mess other teams about! That's exactly what they've done with lukaku, they will never play him but they didn't want anyone else in the top three or four buying him. That's why they loan him to teams like Everton.

Jose is full of crap, of coarse he has kept an eye on Salah, you don't just come to the conclusion that your going to buy a player on any given day. A guy on the RAWK sight that talked about this transfer (and has been pretty spot on) said that they have been asking the agent for updates the whole time. Maybe Jose is just trying to let his mate BR down easily.

I think he meant that there were no plans to buy Salah as he was not planning to sell Mata until United agreed such a fee. Once they got a hefty fee, they looked for opportunities to take a punt, but I am sure he had an eye on the player as he must have on a lot of players. Definitely Salah was very far from being his top target.

There was still interest though.
Chelsea are a bunch a fukkers with too much money to spend. They have got Andre Schurrle, Eden Hazard, Willian,(Mata)at the club already, plus Victor Moses, Lucas Piazon, Christian Atsu and Marko Marin out on loan. So they actually own 7-8 decent wingers. And now they want Salah. It's up to them what they do with their money, but considering all we have as a winger really is Coutinho, Sterling, Ibe, Alberto? and Assaidi, I'm scratching my head wondering why these players even want to join chelsea, they aren't going to play.
Marin and Piazon would be great for us, as for Hazard, Schurrie and Willian, well, they would pretty much walk into our team if all they needed to do was challenge Sterling and Alberto.
Is it Chelsea being gready and too powerful? I'm not sure, but it certainly shows how low our ambition is, considering we haven't got close to the amount of quality that Chelsea have. Makes me realize just how much we are punching above our weight, and I'm worried about that time when that reality will come to fruition.
BR is doing a great job with what he has, but he could have done much better with his money. Makes me realize that maybe Jose Mourinho isn't all that anymore.

What does it matter what the other clubs DO. Its what we didnt do is important. Didnt secure this deal or any other in the last three weeks.
The whole scenario shows the club's recruitment approach to be totally amateurish in my opinion.

BR is doing a great job with what he has, but he could have done much better with his money. Makes me realize that maybe Jose Mourinho isn't all that anymore. If you look at Jose, out of all those wingers he brought in only 2 and with Mata gone he wants to bring in his own back up, would you have Moses (haven't followed the other loanees so cannot comment)? It's still very good business for Chelsea at the back of Mata's sale. Now, I don't think Chelsea has the best squad (City has) but still think they will be champions thanks to Mourinho and I don't think BR would do a better job at Chelsea, they would probably play more attractive football but would be conceding a lot more. I think with the same budget each club has now, Jose at LFC and BR at Chelsea would have us 3rd and Chelsea 4th at the end of the season.
