Chelsea signed both Diego Costa for 32m and Filipe Luis for 20m. Chelsea is pretty much complete now.

They're also pretty much the most expensive club in the world after Bayern, Real and Barca now

Because of PSG, Real, Man city. I don't think chelsea do not spent money a lot. :)
They are so horrible.

That's result is so suprising too. I thinked chelsea do not spent a lot of money.
bmin11
Wow, that's a Torres or two.

Chelsea actually do spend quite a lot. It's just that most were quite young, so the transfer fee doesn't really reflect their strength.

wasn't chelsea the original oil club?

alexis --> arsenal *o*

Probably the best montage of the world cup, ESPN go one better than CBC here.



In other news Conte replaced by Allegri at Juve, and they've lost Iturbe and look like they're about to lose Pogba and Vidal. Looks shambolic for the Old Lady.
Tanzklaue
if you watched those highlights you would think that germany was a surprise winner. almost no attention to german games :/

Yup. We were pretty much Man City in terms of spending power compare to other clubs (excluding Real Madrid).
Tanzklaue
so apparently every german player is a racist now because they depicted the argentines as sad in the "Gaucho-Gate", which was interpreted as racist and nationalsoialistic.

i am done.
Fabi
Gee, I wonder who could be behind this.

Tanzklaue
actually this time it was just your guys and my guys :P

israelis too busy commiting unreasonable amounts of genocide to shame germany.
Fabi
Haha, I know, well Israel news did comment about your celebration. Here we don't really give a shit, on the contrary, we are happy you are celebrating it as you should!
There is just an uruguayan working here in Argentina who was complaining and calling you nazis, lol.
Vish024
We have Debuchy as a done deal.

Meanwhile...

Lahm resigned as a national player.

that's harsh :/ he would've been important in the european championship.
Jindujun93
Just read about Lahm resigning as well. But as usual here in Germany, people prefer to complain about his past mistakes and encourage his resignation instead of thanking him for what he did for the national team. I'll never get our fans, really.

People are complaining? About what? About him playing like the best player on the world that could ever be on his position? lol
Media here is kinda nuts anyway. It feels like they're depressive paparazzi whores who can't grant their own football national team some slack for WINNING and celebrating the WORLD CUP lol
Tanzklaue
Lahm easily is the best right winger of his generation, if not of all time. people who complain about him just show themselves as the stupid mongrels they are.

They really are, yeah. I'm just as surprised as you are.
Things along the lines of he resigned because he wasn't allowed to play in midfield any longer, how he'd write his next book of criticism next and all those things. It's a pain to read through. Then again, as you said - nothing new. Both from the media and the following comments on the various sites that reported it.
Perhaps haters is the more fitting word instead of complaining? I guess so.

Bayer Leverkusen fight to FC seoul in seoul worldcup stadium, Korea.
This match begins 7/30, I long for this day. :)

Klose to retire after this coming season.

In other news various sources claim Remy has agreed on an 8m-ish quid move to Liverpool, Rodriguez has apparently agreed on a near world record fee to join Real Madrid and Fabio Borini has agreed to move to Sunderland for a 14m quid fee.
Tanzklaue
Klose was expected. he had a long successful career and i'm very happy that he got to be a world champion, so we can remember him as one of germany's brightest stars together with Fritz Walter, Franz Beckenbauer, Jürgen Klinsmann and all the other titlewinners.
SpeechClass
James:AS Monaco -> Real Madrid, 80m.
Vish024
It's 63m quid according to most sources. Real at it again, bloody hell.

Anyway a nice tribute to Juan Arango on the Bundesliga channel, leaving Borussia M'gladbach after a glorious few years at the club.

Good luck to Frank Lampard, one of Chelsea legend!
Vish024
Yeah good luck to Frankie.

We're in NYC at the moment, playing a friendly with the Red Bulls on Sunday. Henry catching up with Arsene and the club.

Drogba has returned to Chelsea with a year long contract! So much awesome transfer news. I can't handle it anymore.
Vish024
From an Arsenal viewpoint let's just say we're not too pleased to see ol' Drog back. Had some not-so-pleasant flashbacks when I read the news.

Anyway we've officially signed David Ospina from Nice for a bargain price by the looks of it. We're also in discussions with Soton over Calum Chambers and possibly Morgan Schneiderlin. Apparently Gnabry and Jenko may be going in their direction on loan.

The Legend came back again :)

Lukaku moves to Everton. I fear this is going to be a mistake in the near future.


EDIT: Bertrand to Southhampton on loan. Great deal for both sides, but do we have enough home-growns? idk
Vish024
Hope Southampton can replace their departed stars. They've been completely raided this summer, though I'm sure they can just promote some newbloods from their youth teams.
Tanzklaue
Khedeira in the talks with both Bayern and Arsenal. Real doesn't want workhorses but rather artists, (it worked so well for the spanish team this world cup right?) so they want to sell him. Bayern prolly will get Khedeira, wish that he goes to Arsenal though :/
Vish024
It's always fucking Bayern, honestly if they manage to pull Reus within the next year as well I'll be godamn pissed. At some point they'll probably have the whole national team.

but they will not get ozil x)
