    I'd be shocked if that was the case, but I can see why people might think that, as Luiz isn't his type of defender at all.

    I'm just thinking that because they missed out on 3 targets(Koulibaly, Bonucci and one other IIRC) Abramhovic might have stepped in and just said here is Luiz he is a CB if you don't like it...tough.

    Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

    He must be a marketing dream you'd imagine; extremely noticeable, eccentric, plays for Brazil.

    Be interesting to see how it boosts their shirt sales in South America/in general.

    I see conte moaning about that Oscar transfer saying Chinese football is bad for everyone with the money they will spent but did anyone at Chelsea complain when they were out spending the rest of the world.

    According to portuguese newspapers, Victor Lindelof is going to Man. Utd in January. The deal will break Benfica's transfer record (40+M€).

    Mourinho also wants Nelson Semedo for 30-40M€. In the summer.

    exactly, a lot of hypocrisy about this transfer. Radio5Live guy ranting away about it but as Danny Mills said anyone would take this kind of money they would be mad not to.

    The guy's still learning English. He didn't say the market was 'bad', he said it was a 'danger', which it obviously is as the Chinese are increasingly able to lure good players over. He's hardly going to be happy about losing a good squad player, but he also called it 'incredible' and said he could understand Oscar's decision.

    “Oscar is a really good player. I was very proud to have him in my squad and to have him as my player. I’m proud of his attitude, his commitment and his behaviour, which have been fantastic, and I have great respect for every decision made by a single player. But if you ask me: ‘Are you sorry?’ then yes, I am sorry to see him leave because a really good player, and a really good man, is leaving the club. I must be honest about this. But also I understand his decision.”

    “I think, in this situation, I'd prefer always to take the decision with the club. Together. To take the best decision. Sometimes you can say 'no', but other times you have to say 'yes'.

    "But, for sure, this market is an incredible market. It's a great opportunity for all: for the coaches, also, not only for the players. They are offering a lot of money.

    “For sure, you can think also for one second, or 10 seconds, but it's very difficult not to think about it. Above all if the offer is amazing, is incredible. For this reason, I think I can understand if some players say yes to this."

    Klopp spoke about 'Disneyland' money before Texeira went to China.

    Weird one, gamble too as the centre-backs who've cam from Portugal have been mixed, on one hand Carvalho, Pepe and David Luiz but on the other Otamendi, Mangala and Bruno Alves.

    Mourinho's targets would be worrying me if I was a United fan.

    Karsdrop and Lindelof are the two I've seen. Not exactly players who you could see propelling them to a title or CL.

    He's been average this season, not worth the money imo. Generally I don't like players to be sold - Garay for 6M€ to Zenit, ugh - but this particular transfer doesn't keep me from sleeping. We got two youngsters full of potential ready to make the jump from Benfica B: Branimir Kalaica and Ruben Dias.

    Nelson Semedo's departure, on the other hand, would be a problem. He's been tremendous this season and full backs are scarce. Nelson Semedo (costed peanuts and arrived from a local club) + Grimaldo (1.5M€ from Barcelona) are the ones I really don't want to see leaving. But they will, sooner or later.

    Aye from what I've heard Semedo is a cracking player.

    Oscar will be getting 500k a week, the world has officially gone mad, and Draxler to PSG that's a signing and a half.

    Carlos Tevez will be on 615k. Apparently works out to something like a pound per second.

    According to Sport, João Cancelo will be a Barcelona player in the summer. 30M€. Another talent made in Seixal (Benfica's academy).
