don't let Müller go to ManUtd. He's a player worth getting.

I think Koke is a very desirable target. The inflation of a top player's price is crazy right now, so it should be an interesting endeavor to sign him if it's even possible when the player himself says he's going nowhere. I don't believe Koke, nor Pogba are coming to Chelsea this summer, so we might as well start thinking about someone else for CM.

Sure, that's true, but we'll see if it's possible to sign one of only a few out there. There's not much to choose from. I think this generation looks weak on footballing talent at the moment, but we'll see. Getting someone like Morgan Schneiderlin is still not a bad thought either.

I like the view of the market right now conveyed by Jose's words. http://www.espnfc.com.ve/chelsea/story/2450854/jose-mourinho-chelsea-dont-need-dramatic-changes there are a small group of players who are not elite and a handful of players who are elite and there are too many clubs that want to sign players. some positions don't even have a truly desirable elite-caliber player.

hmmm, I wonder what he will go for. Louis vGaal not interested?

A RW that can win headers, make runs and put in some good crosses would be nice given that Diego doesn't jump when the ball comes in the air from deep. FFS, isn't there one strong, tall winger with good feet out there to buy who also isn't over-valued? How is it that Chelsea are left to looking at players who are all 5'9" or less, not very strong and not terribly good on the ball? I would prefer buying upgrades for the fullback positions (or depth), one top CM, another striker possibly and just waiting to see who emerges during next season. I don't dislike Griezmann and he CAN score, but there's got to be a better way to approach this. None of the players being discussed for winger/AM are top-notch players and none of them are strong. Nice to get more players that can stick in some goals, sure. But I'm thinking "pass" on all these guys. Maybe I'm just looking at it wrong and a move like this is simply about goalscoring for next season. Too bad it looks like Chelsea will pay a premium price for a sub-optimal signing. Bad timing, I guess. On the bright side, we're not Bayern deciding to buy Goetze instead of Neymar LMAO.

pretty good player, but I'm not enthused on a transfer. feels like Chelsea need something greater to make the club a real Champions League contender. Unfortunately, the market doesn't have many interesting forwards/wingers right now, so maybe a left-footed guy who scores and runs all day is a good one. I suppose Jose likes players coming from AM because they've already been broken-in by the AM manager (everyone does the dirty work here).

I'm not sure what's a better result today: winning or Mikel failing so badly during the 2nd half that he's pulled off with disgust by the manager.

I am truly excited for a change today. RLC in the starting XI!

Except that what is the point in keeping someone on 120,000/week who is absolute crap as a starter while Chelsea supposedly want to use RLC, might be keeping Ramires -and- want to buy another CM? not to mention that Ake can be a better CM than Mikel despite his age and lesser stature.

Despite his skill, I have the feeling that Griezmann would be a waste of money for PL. Koke is definitely built for the rough stuff.

Good possibility here, in Pedro IMO. Hopefully he knows how to stay fit with potentially more playing time in the Prem. go for it, Chelsea.

I have a fairly simple question on attacking players a club like Chelsea could target during a transfer window: who is the THE BEST physical specimen combined with dribbling and shooting skill out there not on a top Champions League club? or, is that thought a waste of time and it's just G. Bale? I don't really see a player out there unless it's someone like Fekir, Sterling, Brahimi... not sure. I can see that Lacazette has goals, but I can't say that I'm impressed with his build or speed... I think the Pharoah is just as good a prospect TBH. Is there not a winger out there with a build like Aguero and a good shot on him?

Anyone have some perspective on the possibility of Mikel leaving this summer. FFS, he's about the only person in Chelsea's squad I say strongly needs to GTFO. Oscar would just be a good chance to cash-in on a player that probably won't improve very much when he reaches his "prime."

a healthy Bentekkers is the best striker in the Prem for every kind of challenge. Costa MIGHT be equal only if he's fit more often and scores more goals, but Benteke is as good as it gets for the Prem. forget Aguero in the air. Number two is probably down to Kane and Costa and Kane looks better in the air.

similar lineup to this season, but with one CM added, one forward with a strong, accurate shot+strength and pace, and one fullback who adds to the attack. Those FBs at Porto are pretty good, esp. the LB. Rodriguez is still a good one but Wolfsburg probably do not sell their players now.

congratulations, CFC! The wait for the trophy presentation looks absurd through the eyes of the global fan. Why wait? I feel like Willian will kill that lion any matchday now.

tops: Hazard and Ramires. in the league: an ogre by the name of "Charlie" is a damn fine sight.

I couldn't care less on this player. There ARE other excellent players in central MF in the world. For the sake of the sport and the current generation, I hope there's another player close to Pogba's caliber. Hopefully RLC becomes one for us.

7 matches to go and I'm thinking that the pundits will be wrong. Chelsea falling from number one beginning next match. good luck. Happy springtime.

Lovely. Another year, another ugly shirt and I don't feel any compulsion to buy one. that works.

Put Robbie Brady or Aluko on Branislav and see what happens. this might be fun.

I was about read a novel, then Remy came on. Now I'm wondering if Branislav can give Hull another goal. should I watch?

after more than seven years of watching Chelsea largely play too slow and look like an over-priced side that doesn't often impress neutral fans nor many Chelsea fans --regardless of the trophies, plenty of criticism is justified. people expect more. Ruben Loftus-Cheek is more than just a player to many fans and that feeling runs right up against everything else happening at the club --including the status of Mourinho's second term as manager. Understandable if the manager doesn't use him much this season (as I've sad before), but people will question the manager and the club if such a talented player sits on the bench while other players have been used too much or backup players don't offer something better. Next season and the summer window should be the time we find out about Chelsea's future, RLC's future, Mourinho's next contract (yes/no), etc. Getting rid of F. Torres and David Luiz represented real progress for CFC. I'm waiting for the next step and to see Chelsea play with tempo while having depth and the ability to slowly integrate new and young players into side that can play at high speed or slow the match down, and score from anywhere.

why do you need to post this? expressing yourself as an unhappy fan is fine whether you're male, female, or extra-terrestrial.
