AC MILAN he went to because we messed around with his contract then when we finally offered him a new deal which was higher than he first wanted he said sod it and left :D

He's only 29 and always gave his all on the pitch. Not the glamour signing we all wanted but I think it's a good one. He has some fitness issues but that will make him settle right back in lol

DM position filled in wengers eyes plus he can cover, left and right back.

Not bad then have someone to fill in the DM's position but i was kinda hoping we would have got someone a bit more younger and more world class than Flamini. But meh if he can do a decent job at that position then all good.

I do remember something about us messing around with his contract around the time we played Barca in the CL final back in 2006. Just a shame we let him go due to that, think he would have gone on to be a really good player for us had he stayed. But at least hes come back home:D
 
Lol at people thinking we'd sell Mata. I'd be very surprised if we were interested in Willian, we have a tonne of midfielders already. Most likely a ploy by his club/agent to try and get another party involved.
 
Going to throw something out there!
Javi Martinez to City.

Here is a pic taken by a City fan at the game on Monday, The guy arrived with two City security guards and left 10mins before the end with them.

Now here is a pic of Martinez that imo confirms its him!

The ears and hair and general face complexity confirm it for me!
Now, immediately I would say he was there to watch his mates eg Silva, Navas and Negredo but surely he would be with their families/in the private boxes that each player gets use of.

He wouldn't be sat in the stands?

Extremely wishful thinking and could be complete nonsense but it is silly season so I will throw it out there!

i think it's an agent ploy too. baldini wont play ball. chelsea don't need a player like him.
 
oh guess who willian's agent is

West Ham United used him to acquire Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano on the cheap. And ended up with over £30million worth of fines, compensation payments and legal bills.

Manchester United used him to bring Tevez to Old Trafford on another loan. And ended up in an ugly dispute over his demands that the Argentine be made the Premier League's best paid player.

Manchester City used him to make the forward theirs instead, agreeing an annual salary package worth €7.5million -- net. And ended up with a player who refused to warm up for a Champions League match, went AWOL in Argentina in pursuit of a discounted departure from the club, and never scored at the same rate again.

Fulham used him to hire Mark Hughes as manager. And ended up with the Welshman walking out a year later because he wanted “to be right up there competing in the Champions League positions, up there competing for titles.”

Queens Park Rangers used him to sign Hughes after those wishes had been placed in abeyance. And ended up paying the manager off as they spiraled toward relegation.

He is Kia Joorabchian, and football clubs work with him at their peril. First brought to prominence as the front for Media Sports Investment's messy partnership with Corinthians in 2004 (Sao Paulo's biggest club ended up relegated, too), Joorabchian Is, by his own account, “not a football agent and I don't practice as an agent.”

His company does, however, work with agents, and he has sometimes admitted that it offers services most of the football world would associate with agency, such as advising clubs on transfers and players contracts.

And then there are the times when Joorabchian attempts to duck responsibility.

"I'm always interested to read or hear that I was responsible for so many of the players signed by QPR last season," Joorabchian informed the BBC recently. "In fact my company was only involved with the signing of one, Julio Cesar."

Of the 16 senior players recruited by QPR during Mark Hughes' 10-and-a-half months as manager, 10 arrived last summer. Though Joorabchian claims involvement solely in perhaps the most successful of those -- Brazil's national team goalkeeper -- the club itself says differently.

According to a senior source at QPR, the Anglo-Iranian businessman “was middle man on most deals”. The highly paid trio of Jose Bosingwa (who refused to be listed as a substitute), Andrew Johnson (who managed just four appearances all season), and Robert Green (signed to great fanfare then rapidly supplanted by the still-more-expensive Julio Cesar) all came to Loftus Road via Joorabchian.

Deals for Bobby Zamora, Samba Diakite, Fabio and Armand Traore all involved Joorabchian, who also took on the representation of malcontent playmaker Adel Taarabt, adds the source. Moreover, 'non-agent' Joorabchian also worked on a bizarre attempt to sign Rolando from FC Porto.

Having rejected AS Roma's €8million offer to buy the Portugal defender, Porto accepted QPR's offer of a €2 loan fee with a €10m option to buy. Though their technical director, Antero Henrique, pressured Rolando to accept the move, and their coach told him he would no longer be a starter if he refused to go, the player did exactly that.

“With all respect to QPR I didn't consider them to be a team for my level," Rolando later explained. "What I find hard to understand is why Porto rejected an offer of €8m from Roma at the beginning of August and then told me to move to QPR for a €2m loan fee and an option of €10m. This I find hard to explain."

At Manchester City, where he once advised on some of English football's most expensive transactions, Joorabchian's name is now a dirty word. At QPR, they regard him as a major factor in their demise and say they have ceased using him.

The hardest part to explain is why they ever did.

joorabchian. screw that. move on.
 
Indeed, if Willian and his agent are being like this already, I don't want to see him at Spurs. I thought once they passed a medical, the deal is done??

Go full on for Lamela instead.
 
The Guardian are reporting that Real Madrid have come in for Suarez now, they'll be more difficult to hold off than Arsenal, they will likely bid a bit higher though.

If they've just spent £93m on Bale, can they afford £50m for Suarez too... :/

Does this mean Ronaldo is on! :p
