English Freak

Jovetic isn't a natural RW...he'd take time to adjust to the RW role which is something we don't need at the moment. Moses would be a good addition to the squad for the long-term...but we need to sign our starting RW first.

Fair point..but I don't think KdB will be ready for a starting midfield role for another 3 seasons. We either loan him out this season so that he gets game time in a stronger league....or we keep him as backup in midfield and give him 10-15 starts/sub appearances this season.

I'd say that £7m + loan back to Wigan should be enough to get Moses.

Totally agree.

Don't think he's capable (Schurrle) of playing the lone striker in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Apparently, he won the ball 200 times last season in the Bundesliga..and he was only booked 5 times in the entire season. He'd fly under the radar of most clubs. He just needs to work a bit more on his crossing ability.

Kakuta has all the skills to be an explosive winger/attacking midfielder, he just needs consistent games and confidence from the manager...which is something he WON'T get at Chelsea. For the good of his professional career, he should leave Chelsea, move back to France and prove that he is a class player.

I feel bad for Kakuta..I just have a gut feeling that he'll be leaving CFC soon and we might end up regretting it.

Selling him for 30 million should be a no-brainer.

If Moses becomes a backup at a big club, his development will stall. All he needs right now is regular playing time...not a place on the bench with the odd 10 minute cameo appearance & 2-3 league cup matches.

Don't see Dortmund selling Łukasz Piszczek for a reasonable price. He's got a contract until 2016.

Not ready for a big club yet. Definitely has the potential to be a quality winger. Gotta feel bad for Wigan..there going to lose 3 solid wingers in the past 4 seasons..first it was Valencia to United..then N'Zogbia to Villa..and now Moses to LFC/some other club.

Coentrao isn't dogshit at defending. Has done well for Madrid. He has been one of Portugal's best players in the Euros so far.

The Hulk to Barca rumour is obviously bullshit....this whole Hulk saga isn't that interesting anymore. Porto might as well make an official statement saying that Hulk isn't for sale..(cause he ain't worth 38 million)..similar to what AC Milan did for Silva.

Could be Malaga..you never know..they got a Qatari president..plenty of cash to splash around, they need quality players & they are in the UCL qualifying stages next season.

Exactly. I can see Chelsea getting possibly 12 points out of those fixtures.

Neither...Modric is still a Spurs player.

Totally agree. Modric would be most effective in a 3-man midfield at Chelsea. I think if we stick with the 4-2-3-1...Ramires will have to play RW. Most effective lineup next season (not including any potential transfers): Cech Ivan---Terry (Luiz)---Cahill---Cole Mikel--Lamps Ramires (Marin)----Mata-----Hazard Torres (Sturridge)

It can be argued until we see Cabaye wearing a CFC shirt & pulling the strings in our midfield.

Spurs fan in disguise?

Seriously, we should end this Hulk saga. Time to look at alternatives.

Debuchy would be a good option..but I see him moving to Newcastle...they've built a strong network in France...and they need a RB. We should bring in a RW/CM...before worrying about the RB position.

I'd have to say, all the hate Torres is getting...has made him a better player. Sure, he's not setting the world alight or scoring bucket-loads of goals...but he wants to help the team and hopefully with the players we have brought in, he'll start repaying the 50 million! With Drogba gone, it is the end of an era. No more shadows. Time for Torres to lead the line at Chelsea.

There hasn't been any news on Lucas for a few weeks...the interest died after Mourinho went to see a Brazilian friendly and said that even though Lucas is a talent, it'd be best for his development to stay in Brazil.

Good point. Jovetic could probably grow into the role of RW because he's talented, versatile & apparently has a good footballing IQ.....but in saying that, I'd prefer Chelsea to buy someone who can come in and have an immediate impact from the RW position.
