🚨🇦🇷 Chelsea are not among clubs in active talks to sign Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martínez this summer.

No approach or talks as Chelsea respect Martínez but their focus is on different positions.

Fenerbahce in for Duran. He'll end up like Balotelli.

Cheap, I say. 28 is almost approaching “best before” date for a winger.

That’s strange in that he would be a good signing for them in a position they’re weak. Guess they can’t put him on a 10 year contract at 42.

The players that Liverpool and Man city have already bought has shown that for the sake of any pretence of competition in the premiership rules have to be changed. Silly me I thought Man City we going to be heavily penalised.

I suppose they still could be but they've been able to do a lot of business before anything came into effect.

[ozzjim]

Since Jan they've signed 7-8 top drawer youngish players clearly designed to overcome whatever penalty is coming their way. They could not sign a player for 3 years with their squad now and be top 4-6 comfortably.

Douglas Luiz being linked with Leeds. Surely he can do better than that?
