So what are you saying? lets wait for the summer?

People that want only Costa/Falcao/Lewa, you're saying you're ok with continue with the same strikers this season? even when we have a real shot at this season's title? When i look at buying Martinez in January for example, i think next season we'll have him+Lukaku, thats very good.

So? doesnt mean we should get him.

Cant stand him, need 3 great chances to score one goal, especially in the big games when he always messes up.

According to this words on Matic I could actualy see Jose going for this kind of midfield with Matic-Ramires, very balanced and powerfull, and if Matic could get the game going from the back like you say he could it will be a good option.

Where would you rank his passing then? Pogba level? or less? The thing about the current Matic/Guarin situation is that i think getting Matic would probably mean we got our CM also for the future, and Guarin is more of a short term solution that could keep the option to buy another CM in the summer. The question is if Matic-Ramires is a good enough double pivot in a long term view.

Maybe one of the portuguese members can say how good he is in passing and playmaking?

Its not his decision though... Inter need the money to buy other players.

Mourinho -- "I think, to prepare Chelsea’s new team for about a decade, the same way as Chelsea’s old team for almost a decade. I don’t think Chelsea can have a better manager than I am. I think I’m the right person to do the job". "Next season, Chelsea will have a phenomenal team. Between the work we are doing [on] the evolution of the players and a couple of clinical signings. When you buy 2 clinical players to complete the puzzle you're building, I think that CFC next season will have a very good team."

A lot of pressure after City's and Liverpool's W's... got to bring it on Monday.

I really thought city could lose points today... 2 goals from set pieces ffs... Taraabt is so clueless, should have scored at least 1.

Needs to be said - it says we'll try in June, not January.

According to Di Marzio the deal is yet to be done: the offer is yet to be a formal one to Inter, no agreement between us and the player and the player with is agent. We are looking at signing Matic if this deal would fail, when Matic will cost at least 30m Euros. Still looks like it will be Guarin though.

Falcao/Costa/Hulk as its stands... I also think Huilk could fit us as a striker. Got the techniques and he's a good finisher. Costa is the one i dont think we could get in January. He might have a release cluase but he can always turn us down which i believe he will. Atletico are in a very good position in the league and in CL. Deosnt seem the sort of person that will disappoint everyone who trust him.

Jose Mourinho is unhappy with the squad he inherited and the word is out that Chelsea are looking for a striker in January. #CFC (Mail) Hulk has been watched [by Chelsea scouts] at Zenit St Petersburg in recent weeks #CFC (Mail) Diego Costa, who has come to prominence in Atletico Madrid’s emerging team, is another option but he will be expensive. #CFC (Mail)

#CFC has established contact with the entourage of Falcao. Mata or Ba could be included but #ASMonaco want Jackson Martinez (media365.fr) According to France Football, Radamel Falcao is being forced to say he is happy at AS Monaco. #ASMonaco want to sign Anzhi forward Lacina Traoré & have offered him the salary he is earning in Russia on a 5 year deal (le10Sport) #CFC Can only hope theres some truth behind those rumors... Falcao would give us the title i think.

Same thing will happen when Mikel leaves. What would you say about that?

I dont want to really go at him when he barley plays and cant create any sort of form, but every time he played this season he was awful imo (bar the 2nd fixture). I think he's worse than any of the other AM's and should be sold, we have a lot of talent on loan at this positions, and it will be better for him too.

Mourinho: 'Willian was again fantastic in a crucial position & we created chances, but if you don't score it keeps the opponent alive.' Becoming a favourite, and he definitely deserves it.

Its not a transfer window without some Hulk rumors! Chelsea on the verge of a deal to recruit Hulk (ESPN Brazil) Chelsea to reignite their interest in Hulk as the striker is preparing to leave Zenit Saint Petersburg. (Izvestia- Russian Paper) Its probably bs, but you think he can be our striker? he's in good form, 9 goals in 14 apps in Zenit.

For the future? I agree about the names you mentioned, but we need a CM right now. I hope that in the summer we'll go for one of those world class midfielders. If this signing means we won't do it, it will upset me to, but I realy don't think so. Jose can't make this mistake twice summer after summer, I believe.

I think it's clearly Jose's signing. And what are the names of all the midfielders who are available in January? spill it.

It's again Di Marzio, not Palmeri! you people are a pain in the ass for saying the same thing every freaking time. Palmeri just writes what he reads most of the time. (In the Cavani saga he did posted some bs himself) I'm happy, no more Lampard or Mikel in our regular first 11, hopefully...

I think we need him and anyone who is 1) Be dinamic in defense 2) Can pass the ball, move quick with the ball. Guarin can do that, its right he isnt the DLP we all want so much, but i think Mikel and Lampard are so awful that we can lose the title for the fact we are so relying on Ramires in midfield. I want us to make the most of this season, becuase the title race is wide open, and if the club can buy Guarin now and then buy a player like Gundogan/Pogba/Alonso in the summer that would be the best, i hope thats the way the club thinks.

The only DLP you can get in January is Cabaye i think, and maybe Jose isnt impress with him. Very few options in this area in the middle of the season.
