If Chelsea want Costa they're going to have to make some big sales to come in under FFP considering that they were warned last summer.

:lol: Like it matters if they don't come in under FFP

If it were Barca or Real Madrid it obviously wouldn't...but Chelsea, how could UEFA miss the opportunity?

Big deal - UEFA issues a fine, Roman pays it, a couple of fringe players miss out on the following season's Champions League... UEFA missed their chance to prove they are serious - everyone had been warned, it should have been straight-forward "if you don't play by the rules of the competition, you can't play in the competition".

Just another way for Platini to make more money all while pretending to do something good for the game.

It doesn't work like that. The fine is more than the Chairman is allowed to contribute to the club each year. And they have to cut their losses over the next 3 seasons.

Luiz to PSG is nearing completion for 50million euros.

No blue text.

50m for a defender who can't defend. This is the future.

apparently he failed the physical after stepping on a rake.

TBF to Luiz, he's an aggressive defender that didn't suit the way AVB or Mourinho like to play and already has a very good understanding with Silva for the NT and they perform very well together.

Not worth more than 30mil though, to get 48 million euro's reeks of something dodgy between PSG and Chelsea, or it's a big fuck you to Uefa from PSG because they just don't give a fuck.

Done

Atleti have signed Angel "the next Aguero" Correa from San Lorenzo.

Usually you would question a statement like "the next aguero", but atleti have an awesome track record.

Who is Fabregas signing for today?

Looks like Chelsea :lol:

They've definitely had their share of talent up front with Torres, Aguero, Villa, Costa, Falcao and Forlan over recent years but they've also been really good at making people forget about their flops :lol:

Eduardo Da Silva, Jose Antonio Reyes, Borja, Pizzi, Sinama-Pongolle, Mista, Petrov...

Hopefully they can get more out of Leo next season.

That's disappointing.

Talk of Fabregas not being in their plans...sign Rakitic. Wut?

It's the fans who don't want Fabregas. They've never liked the fact they had to pay 30 million for an academy product that played a key role in them losing Thiago.

That said they're slightly different players, Rakitic moves the ball quicker from what I've seen. The new coach could be planning on playing at a higher tempo.

I didn't see much of Celta Vigo last season so I'm not sure on Enrique's coaching style but I'd assume it will be more of the same from Barcelona rather than a radical overhaul.

Bafetimbi Gomis has apprently had a medical at Swansea

Claudio Bravo looks set to join Barca

I feel City could have chosen a better hashtag than #WelcomeWilly :lol:

Mario Mandzukic looks set to join Atletico replacing Diego Costa. Nice piece of business there.

Pogba was photographed at Fulham Broadway. Rumors will really start to heat up, especially after that photo of him managing Chelsea in FM on the plane :lol:

If he does end up at Chelsea, United have absolutely no hope of Vidal.

So Toni Kroos confirms he's off to Madrid.

That'll happen when you've only got 1 year left on your contract.

is there a transfer window for amateurs in England

Happy New Transfer Window!

Doesn't actually open for another 2 days.

EDIT: Well in England at least.
