Mate Id play him in Pedros spot. I dont understand whats stopping us from playing Lukaku there too tho. Eden right now is free to go wherever he wants to. You see him left/right/top/bottom wherver he can find the ball (most of the time. And Pedros similar. If we put Lukaku there doing the same thing we would have like a 3 striker system all helping each other and all goal scorers. They would be unstopable.

TBH bruv I cant see either being here at start of next season. We know Andreas wont sit on the bench and Conte will want the besy he can find to replace Cahill. So unless hes the best thing since sliced bread he will go be sold to BM I dunno about Happy. I hope it comes good for him

There was nothing I'd have liked more at one time than a trio of Poba/Varane/Happy trio but its looking increasingly stronger than us not having any of them Zouma: “Leave Chelsea? We’ll see at the end of the season” http://www.101greatgoals.com/news/transfers/kurt-zouma-hints-leaving-chelsea/

SEEMs he would prefer a move up London De Vrij snubs Everton for Chelsea? http://www.football-italia.net/100228/de-vrij-snubs-everton-chelsea

Hes not said hes unhappy tho. Entirely opposite "I am very happy at Chelsea but anything can happen in football. If I need to make a change, France is a country where I have never played. So why not?"

Just been watching his vids. Looks to be just whats needed in a WB. And this will obviously fan the links with us and those twats in north London. Must be somewhere else to take your international break than come to London? Not my 1st choice of a few days break - unless its business with pleasure!

Thats something I wouldn't mind seeing a front 3 of Eden/Rom/Morata

I still dont know if hes the player we need but open to seeing how he fits in come the summer. The problem is we wont have time to get someone else if we have to wait and see. And I cant see him staying to fight for a place Andreas Christensen would like to U21 Championships https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=da&u=http://www.bt.dk/fodbold/andreas-christensen-vil-gerne-til-u21-em&prev=search

If this is right then there must be some reason hes really wanting him. Antonio Conte insists on signing to Roman Abramovich, so Chelsea set to offer £50m+ http://sportwitness.co.uk/antonio-conte-insists-signing-roman-abramovich-chelsea-set-offer-50m/

I hope he recovers well from it but karmas a biatch! Only luck Costa wasn't worse.

Well hes obviously trusted in Belgium. Just not enough to be a starter or get brought on as sub. But its got to be bloody difficult to get picked as hes had zero hours playing time in 10 months. I really hope the lad manages to get something going. Whether hes with us or not. Whoevers idea it was for him to join us totally fucked up both his current career and robbed us of buying someone who would have benifitted us. But I can't think Conte told him this is what was missing from his game

Real Madrid step up chase for Chelsea star Eden Hazard amid claims of ‘positive talks’ with players agent Spanish media claim Chelsea have massive fight on their hands to keep the Belgian wizard as La Liga giants prepare to make a huge statement in the summer transfer window https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/3182086/real-madrid-step-up-chase-for-chelsea-star-eden-hazard-amid-claims-of-positive-talks-with-players-agent/

Thats the thing thats pissing me off. I know hes not doing it out of animosity but he must know that everything he says in interviews gets out and it builds up bad feelings. Yeah I could totally understand his initial thoughts about wanting to get back to Spain and the life hes always known. We go where our heart tells us. He didn't like the English lifestyle,food,weather but now to say hes open to a move to PSG thats what gets me. Does he think theres a big difference between the 2 places? Chelsea striker Diego Costa hints he would be open to move to French football http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/10814850/chelsea-striker-diego-costa-hints-he-would-be-open-to-move-to-french-football

I wonder if he will listen to the advice his mate Manolas gave him about hie should join us?

My thoughts too. And that formation opens up another can of worms. It will be interesting to see just what Conte has in mind formation wise. When his initial wants was a 4-2-4. Suppose we will find out sooner or later. But either way we look at it its got to be a very busy summer.

He needs to be in a 3 man CM or sandwiched between N'Golo and Luiz to get the time and space he needs to do his magic... I like him as deep pocket playmaker. Hes our only player with any real creativity.

If that wand did exist I could really use it right now. But youre dead right. What I do think the Don has is an eye for being able to put a team together. Whether its putting round pegs in square holes or just able to see combinations of players. This is a type of magic alot of managers wish they had I'm sure. It would be great if he had in his box of tricks the ability to make all players to fit into his systems, specially a few of those you named, but alas maybe some tricks need more time to develop and some tricks not even David Blaine con do.

I still dont know enough about Morata to make any strong conclusion. But you've got to ask yourself would he be at RM if he was shite? It seems hes in a Bats position and just cant get playing time behind their number 1 striker. The questions are would he work in the PL? Maybe the Don wants him as RAM over Pedro? IF Diego goes (and /I dont think he will) we will need 2 strikers as Bats is bound to be off. Whether by his own choice or ours. If we sold him at least we would have more money to spend. But cant ya just see him loaned to Wet Spam? I'd go for Rom coming back in a flash. No worries about PL performance, HG, among NT mates and wants to emulate the player hes always wanted to be - Drogs. But I'd like to ask why couldn't he be a RAM and be like having a 3 striker system?

When we were all deciding which of the 2 keepers we had either Petr or Tibo I was on the fence. With emotions and experience on one side and youth,hunger etc on the other. Both lads were near the top of their games so it was a tossup Ive never really got attached to Tibo while hes been here. Its not the job he does cause hes been good, its just Ive never seen any real passion or character in him. Hes got one of those poker faces that doesnt express much. But I'm warming to him. While he has had a touch ov verbal diarrhea and getting foot in gob syndrome he has also said just lately some quite good things about being at Chelsea. The team, managers, trainers, fans etc. He seems to get on pretty well with the Don and has said good things about him and says 'The Italian Coaches' have taught him alot. "I am much stronger now, thanks to the Italian coaches at Chelsea, who have shown me new ways in which to play." Quotes from Beinsports interview : "I don't see myself at Real Madrid," he told Cadena Ser. "I see myself at Chelsea, the club that six years ago saw me playing in Belgium and gave me the opportunity to sign for them. "They also allowed me to be three years at Atletico, which helped me to be the keeper that I am now. "I feel that I'm key to the team, I'm very happy at Chelsea, and I don't see myself anywhere else." Courtois' current Chelsea deal expires in 2019 and, although talks over an extension are yet to take place, the factor of his family remaining based in Madrid appears unlikely to draw him away from the English capital. "For the time being, we have not spoken about a contract extension. We are focusing on the league," he said. "We will see at the end of the season if they offer me something. For the time being, there has not been an offer. "I'm happy in London and I'm delighted with the success we are having this season. "I owe a lot to Spain and I go often there to visit the family, who are in Madrid. But I'm happy in London." Antonio Conte's Chelsea are in a dominant position in the Premier League, 10 points clear of nearest challengers Tottenham with as many games to play. "We are working well with Conte," Courtois added. "I see that there is a long-term project to win trophies, not just domestically but also in Europe. There is a lot of ambition to play in the Champions League next season."

What are your guesses? We dont find out till everyone else does but we have any diddering opinions of who WE would start. Not as it makes any difference at all cause we have been generally sticking with the same lads. Some say if its not broke dont fix it, some want more youth starters yet others would like to see more rotation. All we do on here is offer opinions and comment on what others think.

But is it A he wants to go back to or Simeone? This is why I'm thinking Eden wont go too. Simeones said he will leave end of next season so would Costa go back only maybe to get a manager he dont get on with. And wouldn't Eden rather play for Simeone than AM without him? I see Simeone changing clubs then phoning Eden saying come now! Is there any big problem in us signing either Lukaku,Sanchez and start them as RAM then let them free like Eden? Cause Edens not really used as LAM. He roams about where he wants left/center/right up or down. We use the WBs to keep width and Pedro goes out and in. Its just if we did that we could save alot on another top striker and just use Bats money for replacement back up. Or am I looking at Eden/Pedro roles wrongly?

Novel approach to entering a football forum. Use it to pull birds! Crack on mate. Got an old pic somewhere from the late 60s easrly 70s of 6 or 7 Chelsea skin girls all dressed up. Feather cuts,tonic sta press suits, blue n white pocket hankies, monkey boots. Looked cute. Not many girlies in my section of MH apart from this one gal and as great as she is I dont think you'd fancy her mate. But if ya support Chelsea then hang around and join in.
