I think that if we don't get Modric then there is not a quality plan B. It's worrying that Yossi hasn't had a chance in that position and he's on the way out. It looks like Mata will be moved into the middle and Malouda will stay on the left. Starting to worry that it's Modric (and get ripped in the process) or nothing.

Perfect scenario: 11.00PM. Chelsea accounce the signing of Modric for £30m plus Yossi to Spurs, Afellay from Barcelona for £6m and Cahill from Bolton for £13m The Sale of Malouda and Alex to Juventus for £18m Come on! you know it makes sense!

Why do I have the feeling that we might sell him?

Good point, overpaid but strengthened the squad in all areas in two windows and now getting rid of dead wood.

Right winger and creative midfielder PLEASE!!!!! I'm starting to become desperate...

Rumours are that Adam Johnson is available...

Would like to see: OUT Kalou Malouda Alex IN Modric Afellay Cahill

A loan deal with option to buy would be good. Talented player that could do a job.

Rafael Honigstein (German & European football journo) says Pjanic has been offered to Arsenal and Roma for £10 million and they have both turned the offer down...

It's a pointless exercise and will only lead to us being p****d off. This season I would get shot of Malouda, Kalou, Ferreira, Anelka and seriously consider the positions of Lampard and Drogba but hey I'm all for revolution not evolution as AVB probably has one season to refresh the squad.

Good point, spending £12m when we have Romeu and need a creator in the middle of the park...

Don't get me wrong, Meireles is a good player but for some irrational reason I keep seeing Liverpool saying 'thanks for the cash' again

We need a natural wide player that doesn't cut inside which DS, NA do being converted strikers and even JM admits to doing. BTW what about Ibrahim Afellay from Barcelona? He's available for around £5 million and a upgrade from Kalou.

If it was Swansea who try to play a bit of football, I wouldn't have felt so bad...

Why do I feel like we are getting ripped off again...

I'm torn on this news - on one hand, he will get more games but I loved seeing him in a blues shirt. If he does go I hope that there is the option for a recall. I would have preferred him to go to a side that tried to play a bit more football

I couldn't agree more.

Kalou? I'd sell him for a dollar. Taxi!!!

Stick Kalou on the bench ; ) (or sell Kalou to Lille). I get the feeling that with Mata and De Bruyne in the wide positions and a creative midfielder the team will be more productive.

Don't loan him back, He's under 21 so he doesn't count in the squad of 25 - we need him now!

Come on AVB, make a move! To be serious for a moment, I can't see Mancini allowing Johnson to move to us and if he goes he will end up at a Sunderland or Villa not a title rival.

Please get a work permit. Please don't go out on loan. AVB - please start games with a youngster or two.

MATA BABY!

Super Frankie Lampard!!!

Ramires!
