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...)

Its great that we are seriously interested in both Koke and Cesc...it will force Barca and Atletico to not have all the power as we have several options. If the reports are true.

Toure, Song, Sanchez, Cesc, Ibra,...they all 'underperform' in barca because they play specific system...they simply dont suit that. Anywhere else, they would/were/are be probably key players of their teams... I realy wouldnt judge Cesc on Barca form, there everything spins around Messi and Xavi, Iniesta were successull enough because they played with Messi whole career. I doubt any CM will fit Barca if they keep tiki taka and always play on Messi. Koke will be same story if they keep that system IMO. Fabregas was amazing in Arsenal, realy best CM of league together with Lamps for few years, if he can replicate that form, Im sure he will succeed here.

Another saga begins...classic Chelsea summer The annoying thing is that despite all the rumours (true or not), neither the player linked or our manager NEVER tells the real situation in public...leaving us guessing if there is any truth at all. Falcao, Cavani, Hulk, Modric...every year same story different name.

Leo Baptistao or whatever his name is will probably get first spot if Costa leaves...

Aurier will most probably play for Arsenal next season...

So Atletico will lose Courtois, Costa, Godin, Luis to Chelsea, Koke to Barca/ManU/Chelsea, Tiago on free, Miranda to Barca/ManU...if you believe in rumours. I would bet they will lose max three players.
