Sell Mikel for Javi, sell Essien for Tiote. Meireles....can keep but if you get Kagawa then sell Meireles. Ramires...don't want to sell him unless some big bid comes. After that, for the money we got and spend it should not have been big. The biggest part to spend has to be in wingers!

I really don't think we need a creative mid if you got Javi, Romeu and Mata. Because Romeu and Javi can easily balanced out with Mata to add creativity in the mid. With Lampard, Josh, Kakuta and what ever other youth getting some games from time to time. With that mid of: Javi-Tiote Mata You would only need wingers.

Good point, at which I will only sell if some crazy bid comes from Anzhi! So why can't we have Tiote, Romeu and Javi? In a long season where will be using 4-2-3-1 as one of our formations, it behoove us to get more then just one player for each role. And like I said, Romeu is a card we don't know. He can easily bounce to Barcelona in a year or two, so is better to have Javi because of that.

Well Ramires for me with a better team is not starting 11 material but great to have for squad depth. Like people say of Meireles. Ok player that can be used as squad player. Plus Ramires would be vital for those games when we need to counter attack, or defend a lead. And for the 4-2-3-1, yes it will work like that. Tiote and Javi both in the 2 role, but with Javi having a bit more freedom then Tiote to set up more attacking player with Mata.

Sorry but I am not sold on Romeu cause we don't know if he wants to leave us for Barcelona. And he ain't getting a chance ahead of Essien and Mikel.

Javi is a type of player that I can easily compare to Xavi Alonso. He is the perfect piece for a team that wants to play with 2 DM's in the 4-2-3-1 role because of his quality he can offer.

Get Javi Martinez...but giving that Bilbao only plays Basque player they won't buy players with the money they get....so will they also take players as part of the deal? If so give them money plus players...heck they can get Torres for Javi Martinez in a straight swap! Javi Martinez will be awesome since we are trying to play the 4-2-3-1 Then get some wingers and a RB like Azpi and we are good!

hmmmm City picking up form...... I will say that I sympathize with the City fans. I know how it is to live in the shadows of your local rivals. For years we look at Arsenal winning trophies and being the top dog of London.

Ah true, I remember all that hate Chelsea used to get when Roman came. Now is not much because they seen that what Chelsea has done no other club with rich owners has been able to do.

Good read, this is why I ask why people think just buying players will solve the problem? Most people are blind that they don't notice the real problem is at the heart of the club! You need to fix that problem first before you fix anything. Otherwise we spend 150 mill on players and in 3 or 4 years be back to the same shit cause those that run the club are inept.

The owner??? You must be joking.

Seems like it, cause only fools would label a club like Barcelona as corrupt. The last clubs I known that where "deemed corrupt" where from Italy....yet they don't get a mention.

So Comolli goes in pool for doing a poor job in transfers, while our genius of a board continues to be at the club....

I said in the past that I agree with your view. However, when you keep saying the same stuff over and over again, it makes you sound like a sore looser! Now at this point in time I honestly don't care who wins it anymore. And if they do overtake us, who gives a fuck! It's not City fault, but Chelsea own dam fault! So no, I won't cheer for no dam United or City to win the league no matter what nonsense of excuse people put!

Javi Martinez is still class, and one player we can not pass. More Spanish players please. We got Mata, lets get Azpi and Javi!

Anelka as your first duty as a manager, you are obliged to buy from us any of these: Malouda, Essien, Drogba, Cole, Hilario, Turnbull, Ferreira, Meireles, Kalou or Bosingwa!

Well this thread when out of it's principle. When the OP posted: Talk about not reading what the OP's intention for the thread was about....

YOSSI BENAYOUN IS MISSING LINK FOR CHELSEA http://www.express.c...ink-for-Chelsea ------------------ The board is the one that makes these stupid mistakes, yet they keep on with their job to continue to do more stupid shit!

It would be awesome to have Zola in the club though. Some sort of assistance. Heck just get him as assistant manager if Chelsea gets a new manager in the summer. We need someone like him to be in the staff to help motivate our team!

Newcastle revel in bizarre renaissance I was talking to a Newcastle United supporter yesterday. The interesting thing was — like every other Newcastle fan I have ever met — he did not conform remotely to type. Just as all Manchester United fans are said to hail from Godalming and all Leeds followers are dismissed as Neanderthals, the received wisdom about the Geordie faithful is that they have ludicrously ambitious expectations. They are — so the widespread notions go — convinced their club should be winning every trophy in sight and are thus in a constant condition of agitation when they don't. The weeping Geordie is almost as big a cliché as the weeping Manchester City fan. As it happens, in keeping with most of those who flock fortnightly to the cathedral of football formerly known as St James' Park, this chap had little in the way of expectation. He just seemed very pleased, if not a little astonished, at how well this season is panning out. "Like a lot of my mates I had no time for Pardew when he was appointed, just thought he was another waste of time," he said. "But he's proved me wrong. Now there's a real chance we might even get to Europe. Though knowing us we'll probably bugger it up at the last." Even get to Europe? Don't you Newcastle fans, I said to him, think you should be doing a lot more than that? "Why? We've not won anything domestically for 60 years. What on earth makes you think we think we should be winning things? Do you know a single Geordie who wakes up in the morning and thinks today's the day we're going to win something? Because I don't." The truth is, realism long ago became the lot of the Newcastle fan. Which is why this season has been such fun. A good team, a good manager, good prospects: what a contrast to the views most of the fans had last August, when all they could see ahead was another year of turmoil and dismay. Because what has surprised most of all is that the current renaissance has taken place under the watch of the current owner Mike Ashley. If there are any assumptions made around St James' Park they have generally been that if there is anything good going on at the club, Ashley will foul it up. While accepting that as a billionaire he must have some business nous about him, few of those in the stands could see any logic in the manner in which he runs the club. Every policy seems irrational, based on the jerk of the knee and the short-term, every business decision suited more to his own personal agenda than the long-term health of the club. The name change to the Sports Direct Arena an example of his crass failure to understand what he has in his hands. And yet, bizarrely, Ashley is currently presiding over the most progressive management regime in the Premier League. One which points the way to turning a business mired by debt and spiralling costs into one which makes sustainable profit. Much is made of the model apparently adopted at Anfield. The Sabermetrics stuff about finding value in the transfer market that others might have missed is said to have been imported to Liverpool from baseball by the American owners of the club. Though you have to wonder what Billy Beane, the presiding genius of the theory, would make of an institution forking out north of £100 million on such duds as Jordan Henderson, Andy Carroll and Charlie Adam. More Moneyballs-up than Moneyball. At Newcastle, however, without any fuss or declaration, Sabermetrics is being giving living definition. Tim Krul, Cheick Tiote, Yohan Cabaye, Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse: everyone has seen their value rise exponentially this season. The source of such investment gems is pretty obvious. Most Geordies credit the scout Graham Carr for finding them over in the French leagues. According to Joe Cole, the one Englishman currently playing in France, he has seen Alan Pardew at matches at least half a dozen times this season, checking out targets identified by his highly knowledgeable colleague. And Cole reckons the seam of talent is by no means exhausted. At his own club, Lille — from which Cabaye was bought last summer — Cole thinks there are plenty with the ability and temperament to thrive in the Premier League. And he is not simply referring to Eden Hazard. But buying well is only the start of it. Clearly Pardew has been able to mould his recruits into a potent mix, developing a team spirit that is second to none in the division. The upward mobility may have taken the regulars by surprise, but there is clearly method on the training ground. What worries the fans is how long it will last. One thing that certainly characterises the Newcastle fan these days is a distrust of the boardroom. As my contact put it: "Ashley must take one look at the team doing well and see pound notes running around the pitch. The chances of all of Krul, Tiote, Cabaye, Ba and Cisse being here next season is absolutely minimal. I reckon he'll cash on on at least three of them. And that's whether we qualify for the Champions League or not." Over-wrought expectations? For most fans, those were left hanging on the Tyne Bridge with that famously over-excited and over-optimistic banner commissioned in Kevin Keegan's time: "Newcastle United: Premier League champions 1996." ------------------------------ In all, this is a big fuck you to Chelsea useless scouts!!!

We should also focus on the Bundesliga. Madrid and Newcastle have been getting very good players from over there. Fucking scouts go over there and find something!!!!

I love the Tiote and Moses shout. Very good players that won't cost much. I would also add A. Jonhson and De Jong from City if there is a chance to get them. Last I still like Frei and Albrihton. I think from the PL these are the only players I would look at to see which one we can get. Outside of the PL I still like Azpilicueta, Hazard, Cavani, Canales and Javi Martinez. Then there is the one recently mention like Isla, Jovetic, and Kagawa. With that list we can easily get 3 or 4 players to replace 5 that we let go. The most expensive obviously is going to be Hazard and Cavani, but if we can't spend that much there are other good targets we can get.

He was good for Chile under Bielsa. Very good shout here. Took me by surprise to be honest cause my mind was saying Azpilicueta, but I surely would not mind him.

If we beat Barcelona and win the CL everyone and their mamma will be up on these players and the board that they will get another 10 year contracts!
