OneMoSalah

Oh come on, he played 15 minutes when we were shutting up shop and missed one chance.... Some of you lot are ridiculous, wasn't that when we needed to upgrade on Pedro in the summer because we didn't have good back up to Willian, who was our best player in the PL last season. Ridiculous.

Yes let's try sign Mahrez who has been anonymous for Leicester this season, which I'm not surprised because last season was definitely a one off. There are other players, better players out there. Could James play in a role like Hazard or Pedro? Perhaps but I don't think it would be a natural fit for him, although he played RW for Porto.

Not a chance Barca are going to try sign him, no disrespect to him because he's been good for us this season but let's not get carried away. I've seen him being called a world class wing back too but he's not world class, he's been good in this new system but if your world class after only 4 months then god knows about everyone else. The first half we were poor... him and Pedro couldn't hold on to the ball to save their lives. Still I think we should look to reward him with a new contract, along with Courtois and Costa.

I know Zouma is just coming back from his injury and playing more and more now with the u23s but I think he might struggle to dislodge Azpilicueta from the team in that right center back role just now, firstly because I think Azpilicueta has a huge advantage playing that role from when he was a full back, he knows when to go wide to engage an opponent and when to stay narrow and secondly I think Conte won't want to change a winning team despite Zouma being a central defender and Azpilicueta being a fullback. Both can be quite sloppy in possession too and Azpilicueta still needs to come wider when are playing out at times to stretch the pitch and give Luiz or Kante or whoever an option. I can also see Conte trying to sign Romagnoli (or whatever he's called) from Milan again in January or in the summer to give him a left footed option for the left side to eventually replace Cahill. His Italy and Juventus defence was very much similar, he always had a right footed center back on the right side of Bonucci and a left footed center back on the left side and I would be surprised if he doesn't eventually get a left footed center back to replace Cahill in the team just for balance and especially for playing out.

Yes because let's give Batshuayi, a center forward, in Pedro's place just for the sake of giving him minutes, ahead of Pedro who is being very productive right now in this role to the point where he's keeping out our player of the year from last season. Also lets not start this again, buying 25-30+m pound players who play in a certain place only to (eventually) play them in wrong positions ahead of players who are better suited to these positions.... have we not learned from using Luiz at CDM, Torres at RW, Mata at RW, Ramires at RW etc from previous years? Fair enough Moses is doing excellently at right wing back and Azpilicueta the same at right center back but I couldn't see Batshuayi having a great deal of joy or even getting playing time as a right winger (well they really are playing more like number 10s to be honest) when you consider William and Pedro are much more better suited to these positions. He will get minutes and has to also realise that he might need to wait a bit before playing 90 mins every week but let's be honest you wouldn't want him starting ahead of Costa right now, would you?

Would you take off Hazard, Costa, Pedro, Moses etc. when they are playing that good before the 75th or 80th minute mark anyway? We have no mid week CL or Europa League games. Also Batshuayi is good enough it's just Costa is playing excellent.

Hopefully we can get him a premier league loan next season to a team like a Bournemouth or Southampton because despite the fact he's come on leaps and bounds, to go from Vitesse straight to Chelsea is still a step too big I think... But he is probably the closest out of the group of u21s out on loan along with Bertrand and maybe Musonda.

I see a lot of people saying we still need an upgrade but I think he's been very good since we've gone to 3-4-3, he looks like he's got that bit between his teeth, to prove a point, where as last season he was a rabbit in the headlights (he did okay in some games for Guus to be honest), it's a testament to him that he's been keeping Willian out the team (despite the circumstances which meant Willian missed one or two games) because he's been rejuvenated and showed not only a good attitude that little bit of class he showed at Barcelona when he first broke in the team there and was playing regularly... not sure why Willian wasn't even in the squad despite playing for Brazil last week either.

Was surprised we signed him but boy has he been excellent since coming into the team. Moses is getting a huge amount of praise but I think Alonso has been even better, excellent engine, technically sound and has a great cross on him, always puts it in to great areas. I am also surprised how strong he is in the air (although he is 6ft or there about) because he has quite a slight build but he gets up well and you often see he has a similar role to what Ivanovic had for when we are playing out/at goalkicks, if we have to go long and play aerially to get a knock down, he is quite often a target and normally wins it. If he keeps playing well he could get a call up for Spain for the next international break next year I think, they've been experimenting with 3-4-3 in some matches and he could probably slot in at LB with ease in that team.

He's not even played a full season for Ajax and we are already linked... Ridiculous. If we want a young striker - although we already have Batshuayi for a start (probably spelt wrong), Solanke and Traore - I would much rather see us pursue Marcus Rashford because I can't see Mourinho dropping Zlatan for him or making him first choice although he was probably their best player when he played last year.

If we sign Verratti then there's no way we will continue with 3-4-3... Kante-Verratti is far too short and lightweight in midfield, fair enough they are mobile and get stuck in but I've always believed we need some sort of physically imposing pivot player or box to box midfielder in there and Contes always had that with Juventus and Italy... although if we play 352, then maybe Matic-Kante-Verratti with Costa as a 9 and Hazard as a second striker...? Sounds interesting.

Boy how wrong was I saying Icardi would be a better player for us haha. Ancelotti said Dybala and Neymar will be best two players in the world soon and I totally agree. Would be a dream signing.

When do Chelsea ever get it right with young academy players though?

Gary Cahill and David Luiz both playing CB together for Chelsea gives me the fear.... What a pair of clowns, when Zouma is fully fit he's got to return to this team as Terry's partner. A few positives though, Marcus Alonso looked not bad at left back in his first start and should improve as he gets even more used to our team, Azpilicueta was excellent and the fighting spirit shown is a big plus after a poor performance v Liverpool where we gave them too much respect. Arsenal next, start Cesc and Alonso!!!!

I think it makes more sense playing him as a CF if I'm honest. Physically it suits him, he doesn't have the technical ability or intelligence to control or dictate the game as a midfielder but he's quick, can take players on and makes good runs in to space. He can hold the ball up too with his frame.

I think Thibaut proved he was better than Cech when he was playing for Atletico Madrid, having outstanding games in the spanish cup final against Real Madrid and also various champions league games in their run up to the CL final in 2014 or whenever it was where he made a huge contribution. Regarding his contract situation and these quotes about returning to Spain, we finished outside the top 4 last season, have no champions league.... he considered leaving this season and if we don't do well in the league again the likes of himself and many players (Hazard, Costa, Cesc, Matic) will also be in the same boat.

If Costa plays like he has so far this season in terms of his application on and off the ball and continues getting into the positions he is getting in to, he will score 15-20 goals this year. His hold up play is incredible in comparison to what it was last season under Mourinho, he's really sharp, just hope he doesn't pick up any injuries.

Don't think this is a good move, he's shown at PSG exactly what weaknesses he showed when he was here. People can say he's matured now he's 29 but he wasn't 20 or 21 when we signed him was he?

He should go to Spain or Italy yeah. Decent talent but will need time to adjust to Europe.

He looked decent defensively at the Euros and in the CL games I seen him in last season but also had a few iffy moments. I think Conte and the way he sets up could also help him, we've looked very organised in certain phases of games and that's only after 2-3 weeks of Conte doing work. He's looks a big athletic powerful player, think he'd be an ideal signing because he can still improve quite significantly too but hes at a decent enough level, (much better than Baba is) his end product is pretty good and also he takes decent set plays. I'd prefer to see us get him than the likes of an Arsenal or Liverpool or someone else.

That's what I said. 'We need to get a CB .... and sign an actual left footed LB... before looking at this guy.'

We need to get a CB, sell Ivanovic and sign an actual left footed LB like Rodriguez before even looking at this guy.

Cmom Conte sign him up. Would be an impressive signing.

The last 17 year old keeper we signed was a gem. So hopefully more of the same with this kid.

"Marca claim Valencia are ready to sacrifice Mustafi on the transfer market in order to keep Andre Gomes and even called up Milan themselves to alert the club of this possibility." so if they sold Gomes is he not available or?
