Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

So the window is less than two months away and this being Chelsea, I think we can safely assume that there will be some activity. The question is, what positions need strengthening this early and who's likely to fit the bill. Also who, if anyone is heading for an exit...

For me there are 2/3 main areas of need for this squad, notably a CM for the pivot, a CB and a new striker. Additions in any area would, I'm sure you'd all agree, strengthen this team a lot more than new attacking midfielders.

With this is mind, I'm curious to see what movement we will all see, be it specific players, or movement in a specific position.

I think the most likely scenario is a new striker (but not a superstar Cavani/Falcao etc) and either a new CM or a new CB. To clarify, that is what I think is likely, not necessarily what I would most like to see.

If we take into consideration that we most likely will not spend a HUGE amount in January, I would love to see something along the lines of Etienne Capoue and Nelson Oliveira. Young and talented and would strengthen our squad.

Thoughts and opinions anyone?

Capoue, Benat, Banega, Tino Costa, De Rossi, Vidal, Bender boys as CM/CDM

Falcao, Cavani, Lewandowski, Martinez, Jovetič, Damiao as ST

My fav option would be top striker and a good loan CM with option to buy in summer.

Since Mikel will go in january, maybe getting Essien back wouldnt be bad either.

An ST, as we need one, A. because we need to improve in that area. B. we only have 2.

And maybe another young CB, just to add a bit more depth and for the future if needed. We have chalobah and i think he will be our captain one day but it still might be a couple of years before breaking into the first team. I don't think a cm is essential, though if we do ideally they would have to be a specialist in that double pivot as we don't exactly have much room in the AM's at the moment with 3 quality starters and then moses and marin on top of that. Rambo is doing exceptionally well, and mikel is doing alright. Most of the Cm's mentioned would have to replace rambo as otherwise we wouldn't have much in the way of DM's, and rambo deserves to stay in as he is extremely useful with his stamina and ability in there.

We get a good striker and our attack would be one of the best in europe.

Striker, CB or RB, we know Iva can play either or.

Out, hopefully Torres.

RDM has said Danny is in his plans, unless that statement was just to cool speculation, doubt he'll be leaving.

Don't know whats gonna happen with Mikel going to ACON though. Be interesting to see how that turns out.

Lampard won't be leaving this jan right?

Damiao is an average player IMO.

We'll definitely see a CM come in. We'll only have Romeu, Ramires and Lampard as Mikel is the AFCON and we look weak there as it is in terms of depth.

Robbie has spoken about a lack of options upfront with only Torres and Sturridge, so i'm damn sure a striker will come in too.

There's a chance of a CB coming in, and we've seen numerous links to quite a few for a while

So CM and CF will be definitely be added imo, and then possibly a CB

For CM would like a player who has good enough discipline to play as a DM, but is also capable of attacking and acting sort of box to box. Witsel is an example, but obviously he's unrealistic

For CF, I wouldn't even mind really as long as its not Remy because I don't really rate him. We just need a goalscorer who we think has enough quality to adapt to different systems. Falcao, Lewandowski, Jovetic, Ba, Cavani. Don't really mind as I said

As for CBs there are quite a few options. Haven't seen him play on many occasions, but Okore looked quality and is a chelsea fan. Reckon he'd be a good signing

I predict it'll be a good window though

#Fluminense's young right-back Wallace has just been sold to Chelsea for €5.5m, but will stay at Flu until June, says 'Globo Esporte'. #CFC

Yeah.. unsure whether to believe it or not, will probably announce it in January if its true.

Apparently we had 50% rights for the talented youngster as part of the Deco deal...it's great if we have signed him (our RB spot will be solid for many years to come with Azpi and Wallace) but I'm taking this with a pinch of salt. Need to wait for some official confirmation.
