I think its a job well done considering how crazy the market is. Kante has to be the signing of the window by a mile! January is only 4 months away, personally I would still like to add an additional striker, perhaps by Jan Morata will be sick of the Madrid bench! Hopefully Christensen has a great season and develops more which will solve our CB issues for next season.

For me... Courtois Zouma Terry Luiz Kante Oscar/Cesc Matic/Cesc Willian Hazard Costa Batshuayi Subs: Begovic, Azpilicueta, Cahill, Cesc, Moses, Pedro, RLC Reserves: Eduardo, Alonso, Ivanovic, Mikel, Chalobah, Aina

I think that is unfair, Moses is a perfect example of someone coming through the loan system to push their way into the squad. In addition, this year, Moses, Chalobah, Aina, and RLC have all come through the Academy or the Loan system. Technically, Courtois and Terry could fall into the same category which means 6 of the 24 first team squad players, or 25%, have either gone through the loan system or come through the Academy. Personally I feel that the following players have the ability to do the same, whether they do or not remains to be seen: Christensen, Musonda, Traore (Most excited about these three), Ake, Brown, Baker, Abraham. The rest are either too young to tell yet, or I don't see getting to the level required to be a CFC first team squad member

Here is hoping that Benatia to Juve is to replace Bonucci, please lord, this would be the signing of the summer!

What do them being black have to do with anything?

Bonucci, Kante, and Morata in will do me just fine.

I kinda get the feeling that Chelsea FC will turn this transfer window on its head with one big signing. At the moment it feels like the calm before the storm.

So whom would you replace Ivanovic, Cahill, Oscar and Willian with? Im not disagreeing with you, if we can strengthen the side then sure, I just really can't see who could come in and do a better job than any of those players you have mentioned. We all have different opinions about players, but i really Ivanovic and Cahill were part of the best defence last year, Willian was brilliant in the second half of the season, and Oscar was brilliant in the first half of the season.

Im not saying there isnt room for improvement in the squad, but honestly who is there that will come in and walk into the starting 11? Maybe Reus? The others (Pogba, Koke, Bale, varane, etc.) are just not realistic transfer targets. Even Isco I would argue is not better than Oscar when Oscar is playing well. And then there is the young players, Loftus-Cheek, Bertrand Traore, surely they deserve a chance to be squad players? Im not having a dig at you, I think its great that you want Chelsea to improve. I just cant see how? Who would you bring in to improve the squad? Im really interested to know what your thoughts are.

We already by far have the best squad in England and one of the best in Europe. The only difference between Chelsea and Barcelona is Messi. We have probably the best defence in the world, best keeper in the world, Matic, Fabregas, Costa and Eden Hazard. There are very very few players who could come in and strengthen the side we have. So to say that I have no ambition because I don't see the need to spend mindlessly on good, but not great players, and rather we just bring in a few guys to add depth, tells me that you are just like the countless other fans out there with an addiction to big name signings. This is Chelsea FC not Real Madrid.

Anyway, i'm still very happy with the squad we have, would just like to see a back up GK, a midfielder to replace Mikel and maybe another defender. Hope Felipe Luis stays...very good player imo bring in Begovic and Schneiderlin for me and we are looking very good. Isco or Reus would be wonderful, but can't see either happening and this really would be a luxury buy.

I agree, Turan is a quality player and im sure Chelsea would have been interested if he was available for the right price.

Every attacking midfielder/forward is so expensive, I'd rather we just give Bertrand Traore a go in the position. Got as much potential as Sterling in my opinion. Reus or Isco would be great, but let's be realistic, they going to be very very expensive.

I agree, even though the start of the season is less than a month away. My point is not that it is early in the transfer window, it is that there really aren't many players out there who would add value to the squad we currently have. And those players will cost a fortune. So it is a difficult situation.
