Who could replace Chelsea striker Diego Costa? Football Whispers look at the potential targets http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11096/10732337/who-could-replace-chelsea-striker-diego-costa-football-whispers-look-at-the-potential-targets

Seems tro be getting respect at Ajax and is doing well. Also a good start at ACON Traore pushing for Chelsea recall following positive displays at Ajax http://www.footballfancast.com/premier-league/chelsea/traore-pushing-for-chelsea-recall-following-positive-displays-at-ajax

Fyodor Smolov Abramovich involvement is only way Chelsea signing Russian striker can make sense http://sportwitness.co.uk/france-chelsea-linked-prolific-russian-striker-abramovich-involvement/

Not sure he sounds a Conte player as those weaknesses outdo his strengths IMHO anyway. Keita Balde Chelsea FC transfer news and rumours: Lazio striker Keita Balde on Antonio Conte's summer shopping list http://talksport.com/football/chelsea-fc-transfer-news-and-rumours-lazio-striker-keita-balde-antonio-contes-summer#QZ0WYqu0pBXyirC5.99 http://talksport.com/football/chelsea-fc-transfer-news-and-rumours-lazio-striker-keita-balde-antonio-contes-summer#QZ0WYqu0pBXyirC5.99

I do hear ya mate. But Conte wasn't even a thought back then. Mou was even doing tricks we hadn't seen 20 times before. It was the club that made his decision for him. He obviously had a chat with management about his future and told what he didn't like hearing. Put yourself in his shoes. Been our number 1 for ages after replacing another long standing keeper.He had been our hero, worshipped by all Blues everywhere. Then this new young kid turns up. He tried to stand his ground as long as poss but Mou kept giving him less time. I know I would be pissed off. He obviously had more in his engine and heart to give and wanted to go out playing regularly. Only thing that pissed me off is he ended up with a bunch of wankers. It was worse than seeing Lamps in that shitty blue shirt cause Lamps didn't leave us to join shitty, he had them thrust on him.

Hes getting played every week which is what he wanted.

Ive dossed down all over France, sleeping rough at train stations,beaches,cheap doss houses etc and Marseilles was the only place I found that the locals got nasty.

A vid from agent Cech! Chelsea deserve to be favourites http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/teams/chelsea/10732242/cech-chelsea-deserve-to-be-favourites

Ive been looking at this guy. Seems flexible up front positions. A good strong young guy and a good option for Eden cover or 2nd striker or alongside another. Seems to be a crazy fucker in a car tho. Told the cops he was Traore after being stopped without a license. In February 2014, Niang crashed his Ferrari into a tree and was sentenced to a suspended 18-month jail sentenced for an alleged hit-and-run accident which left 11 others injured. The player was also charged with endangering people's lives and driving without a licence again!. Then he had a crash though it was made clear he was not under the influence of alcohol he suffered an injury to the capsular ligament in his left ankle, as well as bruising to his left shoulder. Then after a 2-month lay off due to the accident,he jumped off the roof of his house into a pool and posted a video on social media. It caused a stir lol But it would really piss vinegar tits off as they want him! M’Baye Niang http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mbaye-niang/profil/spieler/157501

I agree. Id love him just to say theres no way I'm leaving Chelsea in the foprseeable future and theres no truth to the RM links. As for Diego I really hope it all blows over. We were so lucky to buy him and hes hardly let us down. Specially this season. It was all going too smooth. With Chinas new rules it seems that the club Mendes was talking to (NOT iitially about Costa he was only brought up in conversation after the media shit.The contracts were drawn up to buy Falcao and Raul Jimenez but have had to be withdrawnr) But Chinas transfer window doesnt cose till Feb 28th so plenty of time for them. So now his options are the 2 Madrid teams. With Simeone only there next season I'm not sure whether he would go there, same reason Eden wouldn't (he will get the call as soon as Simeone knows where hes going) So who knows whats ahead.

Cheers for the information mate. Appreciated. Ive not really given Colkett much attention but hes 20 now and seems to be progressing nicely. Boss: Chelsea loan star has incredible talent… he'll be a real success at Stamford Bridge SWINDON head coach Luke Williams has tipped loan midfielder Charlie Colkett to become a Chelsea star. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/579240/Swindon-Charlie-Colkett-Chelsea-Incredible-Talent-Success-Stamford-Bridge-Gossip

haha Not yet but I see the day coming fast Borussia Dortmund name their price for star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang http://metro.co.uk/2017/01/16/borussia-dortmund-name-their-price-for-star-striker-pierre-emerick-aubameyang-6384344/#ixzz4W1FU6eTL Borussia Dortmund would consider selling star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang if they receive an offer in excess of €70million. £61mill doesn't sound too ridiculous to me.

I'm begining to think this is the guy we will end up with. He had his head turned by us in the summer and think he liked the thought of being Spains most expensive transfer. IF Costa goes it would mean he would be the main striker this time which oif course is a big plus. And with Conte already signing him to Juve he knows Morata inside out so he will know that he suits our style and able to fit in. Plus I read in some Twitter that his new Fiance loves London and likes the idea of living here! RM only took him back to fuck off Juve and for them to be the ones to cash in on him in resell.

Nah I can't see it neither. No need and not over here anyway.

With his Mrs and daughter still living there hes never actually broken that emotional or physical attatchment to Madrid has he. So its obvious there will be links with him back there. (Whether they're real or BS)

I read they want an extension to 2021 But theres been no offers for him anyway

The mods/admin have to do it mate. Whenever Ive been up there with us theres always lots of our supporters hanging out of pubs n bars down there. Theres a square with shops/cafes/pubs etc I dont know what its called but you wot miss it or see us there And Ive only ever seen 1 bit of trouble and that was when we were being herded into the ground and a group of dipperrs were flapping their lips about Torres I think and a few of ours broke off and chased them away. Horses were galloping about,dogs barking all over nothing.

Just wondering if more would see this as a thread in Matthew Harding as its not an article?

Ive read all I have found on the guy and to me he does sound like a perfect player for Conte. Ge seems to run round like a hamster on his wheel. hes stromg, hot a bite and he is always the 1st line of defence. I like him. I'm wondering why Juve haven't gone for him.

Lets face it. The only striker we have any idea thar Conte MIGHT be in for is Lorente and not to sound nasty I really wouldn't want him as our main striker.

Typical bloke then (Or my Mrs!)

Gone quiet on him eh

Alexis admits to tax fraud totalling nearly €1m The Arsenal forward is reported to have already paid the money back, which will likely see him handed a fine rather than be put on trial Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez has admitted to tax fraud totalling nearly €1 million to a Catalan court. The Chile international acknowledged two crimes against the Treasury which took place while he was on the books of Barcelona between 2012 and 2013, with Europa Press reporting an overall value of €983,443. http://www.goal.com/en/news/8/main/2017/01/16/31602342/- I say we get Granovskaia on the case and get him over here.

We just aren't a club that top players magnate to and never have been. You never see the top players come out saying I dream of playing for Chelsea do you. This may change in the not too distant future with a new generation growing up having watched us as winners tho..I see mamy more 'foreigners' wearing our shirts when I go abroad on hols etc. So a combination of marketing and us winners under Roman will have made some millenians support us which means some will be professional footbalers growing up supporting us which because we wasn't in Europe often before that, peeps that will have mainly seen us were English.

Assumption that Real Madrid player is ‘probably destined’ to sign for Chelsea http://sportwitness.co.uk/assumption-real-madrid-player-probably-set-sign-chelsea/ Simple, Tuttosport reckon, and throw this claim in almost flippantly, that Alvaro Morata is ‘probably destined’ for Chelsea. Antonio Conte’s wish to sign Morata during the summer was well covered, with the striker even talking about it since, so it would be no surprise if Chelsea tried again in the next window. The problems with Diego Costa would also make Chelsea signing a striker likelier, but these claims seem like speculation. Real Madrid haven’t been scouting Porto obsessively, so their interest in Andre Silva may not be as strong as claimed.
