Thought Brunye was meant to be class?

Who's conducting Chelsea's transfers?

[Shaggy]

De Bruyne is apparently a regular starter for Belgium too.

Very strange that he'd be shipped off already.

Tottenham are among a group of Premier League clubs that would consider triggering Loic Remy's £8m escape clause if QPR are relegated. The 26-year-old French striker has scored five goals in seven starts since joining from Marseille in January.

SECRET MEETING IN LONDON
Schürrle changing: Chelsea strangled 50-million package

LEVERKUSEN -
Now anything can happen very quickly in poker on the future of international Andre Schurrle (22)! According EXPRESS information, the parties have agreed on the terms for a change. Champions League winners Chelsea strangled a 50-million-euro package, loszueisen to the Star of Bayer Leverkusen!

The British "Mirror" reported that at the edge of the Premier League match of Chelsea had tried to Manchester City representative of German winger with the blues. That's not quite right. According EXPRESS information Schürrle representatives were already on Friday in London.

Schürrle father Joachim and consultant Ingo Haspel listened to what the Abramovich club has to offer. And this is a 50-million-euro package!

Chelsea offers Schurrle to a five-year contract through 2018, in which the Leverkusen would reap about 4.8 million euros per season. Plus bonuses!

Londoners are ready to pay 20 million euro transfer fee to Bayer. For this amount may Schurrle after next season anyway under the contract. 2.5 million euros remove a Bayer when Chelsea reached certain goals (eg Champions League qualification).

And London offer a bonus for one year offensive man Kevin de Bruyne (21) to be on-lent to the free Werkself. Leverkusen has already expressed interest in the yet-Bremer de Bruyne. Now we're "just" a matter that Bayer and some Belgians.

De Bruyne but should not be in agreement with an unexpectedly move to Leverkusen, Chelsea would once drauflegen Bares, then Bayer allegedly cashed a total of 22 million euros - plus € 2.5 million of variable premiums ...

That article is a little exciteable, but I wonder if that means that they're not confident about landed Falcao? Or on the flip-side, it's just a smoke screen.

I reckon we'll see Cavani at Man City, Falcao at Chelsea and nobody at Man Utd.

Leverkusen have reportedly received a €22m offer from #CFC for Andre Schürrle yesterday. Negotiation will continue at the end of the week.

Daniel B. @dan_bu
Schürrle and Chelsea have reportedly already agreed on a five-year deal. Player only has to wait for clubs to agree fee. #CFC

Hope we are sorting out our priority targets already and do not wait until the end of July before making our moves.

[Muddled]

Chelsea have a good habit of getting deals closed relatively early and quite quickly.

Could this mean Balague was all over the Falcao to Man Utd? I doubt it.
