Eventualy we will need english players and I see problem in getting them. They must be good and right now only two I see promising are Shaw, Barkley and then Ward-Prowse. But if we sign Cesc, no point in buying Barkley...unless we sell Oscar. Shaw on other hand probably wont come now either. And where will we get proper english players then? I hope Baker and Rlc fullfil their talent at least to the level they can be our subs.

I think this will be one of average tournaments for him...too much of expectations, little experience. But he will do decent. Not bad at all, just I dont think he will appear on list of tournaments best performers. I hope Im wrong though. His cup will come on euros 2016 and wc 2018 IMO. He will be truly one of best on those two.

Fabregas would cunt as homegrown

Im spoiled, but I would genuinely love us to sell Mikel and buy Gueye from Lille, who would serve perfectly as back up DM. Maybe you dont know him, but kid is very talented and would work well in combinations in pivot. Then our midfield is complete for next year. Matic, Ramires, Cesc, Ginkel and Gueye. No need for Pogba. Gueye is great and cheaper.

I was ultimately against selling Mata, Luiz and Lamps, Cole departures, but if Jose manages to bring Costa for 30m, Cesc for 27 and to mention Matic back for 25, this will be one of best money wise deals ever. We will turn our team into one of most complete in world, while losing maybe 30/40mio max on the players. There are still questions what will happen with Oscar, are Hazard and Willian giving enough width, will Azpi and Luis link well with wingers etc, but generaly, this will be one sick looking team.

Indeed on other hand, this season we lost too many great players Lamps, Ash, Juan and Luiz...i know last two werent exactly legends, but they helped us win CL and are realy fantastic persons, I was very sad to see them all leave. They had to leave and I was sad, I will celebrate the day Torres goes, cant believe he is still here and they arent...

Think wider now...we have enough money to get both if we want or need. We probably wont but we have money, no doubt. But first of all, just be happy if we get Cesc alone.

Costa, Cesc and Luis could be official in matter of few days...mindblown!

Indeed and he would cost just 7mio

On paper looks great with Cesc-Matic-Oscar but that trio lacks speed and power big time... Cesc is not as fast and mobile he was 3 years ago in arsenal, while Oscar was never man who could run up and down for 90mins without geting exhausted after few games... I believe Vidal would be best fit atm, Pogba is young and expensive, Modric is not available and Kroos/Koke are very similar to Cesc (some small advantages and disadvantages in comparison) Wouldnt hate Cesc here, its big name and world class CM but he isnt realy Mou type when comes to stay back and defend and run etc..

Do you rate Hulk only based on national games? Because Hulk was one of best (if not best) players in Russia (I know...) but also very good in CL run. I dont think Hulk or Willian is better but Hulk sure has better finishing.

I think its quite clear Luis and Costa will be Chelsea players sooner or later. The question goes who will be our new CM...

Is he even suited for Counter football anyway?

Why do you think his position will change because of change to #10? He was playing for Lille with that number and mostly as winger (he had lot of freedom to go inside though) and he plays on wing for Belgium where he also has #10.

If united secured deal two months ago...why didnt they announced it officialy yet? Im sure they would want to complete signings as soon as possible but Shaw might not even agree with them TBH and media is just speculating.

Shame Gundogan of all players had to be injured whole season...if he had another great season, he would be on top form, is perfect player we need in pivot because he is fast, creative, defends everything...he wouldnt cost fortune because he had just 2 year contract

Uuu and we would have 200 mio and would have to buy whole new team and would win all trophies right? We already have more than 50m from sales and 50m of pure money we can spend every summer. That gives 100m+, now tell me exactly why would 75m more money be better than having Hazard? We are not in need to sell, ffs, world class teams dont sell their best players for any money. And Hazard for 75 (if Bale was 100 or Luiz 50), is ripoff.

Its goal but they City is giving 37m for Cesc and Arsenal is also interested...no mention of Chelsea.. They realy dont know what to post anymore lol

All the talk about Cesc, Pogba and Koke...in the end we sign Paulinho and I will go out and shoot someone.

True that? http://m.101greatgoals.com/blog/picture-proof-that-barcelonas-cesc-fabregas-was-in-london-this-weekend-amid-man-united-chelsea-interest/

Lukaku said it all realy. He loves club, wants to play for it and seems like genuine Cfc fan. If he wont be our player next season, Mou is the one and only to blame. He shpuld put his ego or whatever he has with Lukaku aside and keep such talented player here.

Not too sure, few days ago; 100 rumours about Pogba, then quiet, now Cesc and Koke...maybe media just doesnt have clue and linking us to everyone... But with all the money we have now, Jose could buy like 4/5 world class players if he wants...

In theory we could always buy POGBA/WITSEL and CESC, while selling Oscar, but obviously that wont happen. Not many clubs can say the same though

Player and person that shows all the best Chelsea club can give. 13 years ago seems like it was yesterday. He will go, but memories will stay forever. My favourite player ever, he deserves testimonial or sth, he is without doubt greatest player ever wearing our shirt. I can say Im only proud and thankfull that such great footballer decided to play for us for all these 13 years. Its been pleasure to watch him and I will never forget what he did to our club. Legend, thank you very much and goodbye, I hope one day you return back home

It wont matter if we go 4:3:3 or 4:2:3:1 because Mou teams are always very mobile and all three Oscar Matic and Cesc will defend and attack together. Plus Willian who always helps defend in midfield. Therefore it will never be just double pivot protecting defence. On other hand, having Cesc will make our midfield more compete; we will retain ball more often and lose it less times (just think how many times Rambo makes shit pass and whole team needs to go from counter attack into defence again...)
