Alex Teixeira has given an exclusive interview to a Brazilian newspaper and here's what I translated:

"My agent has told me I have offers from Juventus, Chelsea and PSG. We're in further negotiations with Juventus and Chelsea though. They're 3 big clubs. Wherever I end up I'll be happy either way."


But then he goes on about Chelsea

"It's my dream. I've told all my friends I would love to play in The Premier League because I think it's the best league in the world. But like I said, my agent is taking care of everything. Although I believe leaving in January is highly unlikely as Shaktar has made it clear they don't want me to leave until the end of the season."

Then they ask him about Mourinho but that's not important. Anyway, it seems unless Chelsea targets another player it's unlikely to see him here next season.

But could that mean that one of Chelsea's attacking mids could become available? :klin:

Two options:
- Marotta buys a world class player
- Marotta make a cheap deal for good player (like not injured Khedira deal)

If he don't do one of these thing, i will favourite that he buys nobody. I don't want another mediocre guy like Hernanes. We need to spend or money in a good way and not spending like dumb City bitches.

Shaktar players in particular are easy for Chelsea, their owner and Roman Abrahamovich are friends.

Willian was done for Tottenham and was hijacked in the last day by Chelsea due to this friendly connection.

Just that we are finally playing with a bit of cohesion. If we sign Isco he'll be so expensive that he'll have to play in the first team and that would unbalance us again.

No thanks to Isco.
Wait, are you alright amigo? I had you pegged as one of the sane ones on this asylum, by any chance you ingested some peyote left around by Claudio?

:lol:

I was just terrified by how we played at the start of the season. Don't want to risk it again. I've also not seen much of Isco at all. Is he really that good?

Yeah he is really that good. Bit of a ball hog but otherwise exactly what we need. We can effortlessly play 4-3-1-2 or 4-3-3 with him and raise our quality. The fact we didn't get that kind of quality and have little hope for it is why we are in current situation.

I don't know, i still buy the theory that attempting too much of an overhall without a real plan was the culprit. We're playing better now that we've worked out a kind of gameplan and we will win Serie A.

Besides - Spaniards always fail in Serie A :D

Yeah he could, that would essentially be 4-3-1-2, and regular in a trio attack he could play as CM. But can only play in trio attack if it's a symmetrical.
