Wow I didn't hear about that Forlan signing! He could be a great signing, but I think he might be past his best. Zarate coming from Lazio could develop into a good replacement for Eto'o. I'm still a little confused by him actually. I'm happy he's the highest paid African striker of all time, deservedly, but he's quoted as saying he wanted a 'new and exciting adventure', when he left Inter. Honestly, from winning a historic treble with one of the biggest clubs in the world, a beautiful, cosmopolitan and cultured Western European city like Milan to some spec of a city in Persia? Had I been in his shoes, I would want to stay at Inter for the rest of my career. I guess €20.5 million a season is hard to turn down...

Looks like Jacky W. will be the next one I purchase, the only player on the squad that actually loves the club and that will probably be there longer than a year.

Remember when Torres left Liverpool to come play for us? He said he was exciting at playing at a 'big club'. I'm Chelsea through and through, but even I know the history Liverpool has in England. Hard to argue 18 League titles and 5 European Cups. Granted, Chelsea have been more successful in recent years than Liverpool, but doesn't make us bigger than them. There's really no loyalty in modern football, which is unfortunate. Players go where the glory is, and unfortunately for you guys, Nasri felt City were closer to raising the Premier League trophy than Arsenal.
You guys need to hurry up and sign Götze before we do. We both need a young, creative, attacking midfielder now. Still puzzled as to why we are willing to throw £40 million at Spurs for Modric, when there is better and younger talent out there. Götze, Christian Eriksen, and Marko Marin comes to mind. We did manage a decent bargain signing Raul Miereles from Liverpool though, at £12 million.
