With all the problems we have in our game, we need striker and creative CM, but with Mikel gone in january, we would also need a good DM. I heard Cesc can do it all

He has more offensive role in Werder, right? Could he play as CM in 4-2-3-1? In that case, we dont realy need Benat, Banega, or any other deeplying playmaker.

Etienne Capoe of Toulouse. 22yrs old, France international (recently starter) sticks to defending duties, and passes forward. Not a b2b player or deeplying playmaker, but a very good DM with ability to pass in any direction. Also, as player of Toulouse, he would cost max 15mio.

Atletico would sell if they would get replacement. Why not? They would get lot money for Falcao and also a decent replacement (there was talk about Huntelaar and Chicarito to be wanted by Atletico). Sure if we offer 50mio for Falcao, who else would offer more? In summer, we might go after some other striker and Atletico would decide to sell in jan. And I think Huntelaar is not option because he is too old, while Llorente is in shity shit form and I dont want another Fernando Torres who WAS good striker but NOW is not in form. For god sake, if we go for striker, he must be in good form, and Llorente's record this season is 11 games (NEVER A STARTER) and only 1 goal. He is 27, slow, does not have good ball control. I dont see why would he be great striker. And he was more or less shit in Europa league finale vs Atletico. And for end, in Euro 2012, Negredo got chance ahead of this guy who played 0 minutes in tournament. And he is rated at 30mio. WTF??!!

Dont take this joke too serious, I would spend 100mio (if we had) for other player, rather just strikers. I just put that team if we had those players, wouldnt be bad. However its impossible and will never happen.

It was just an option, had we 100mio available. It is never going to happen we will buy all them, maybe 'only' Falcao/Cavani. But as much Suarez is cunt, he would be great to pair another striker like Cavani. Dont forget that Lpool are shit and its big chance Suarez might want to leave sooner than later. And Chicarito would make great backup striker in any case. For smaller games he would be perfect. Currently we have no main striker in form or even his back up Danny is not playing that well, but Im still giving chance to Sturridge, while Torres is obviously past it.

Imagine we had Cavani/Falcao in attack, Hazard, Luis Suarez and Mata as attacking trio and developed Oscar to play on CM (like Cesc did at Arsenal) along Mikel. And Chicarito as our backup striker. Falcao/Cavani Hazard-Suarez-Mata Oscar-Mikel I know its impossible, but that would fit us perfectly.

Back in Arsenal days, Cesc was much more defensive. He was great as CM/DM or CAM. Sahin is also a player that can play in all three roles. Player like Sahin/Banega/Benat would also ease the pressure from Mata. Juan is now playing much deeper and is our deeplying playmaker as well attacking playmaker. In fact to be honest, I dont care who we sign as striker and CM, cheap or expensive, as long he will be able to get directly in our squad, play regulary and will achieve sucess at Chelsea, I will be super happy. But if we get some unexperienced kid or even worse; stick with Torres, I will be pissed.

For the price of 40mio I wouldnt take him. For 20-25max. He is great player, but not that great as Falcao. Remember that Falcao was sold to Atletico for 35mio pounds.

Yes he is. Late bloomer I guess, but you have to admit that Porto always finds such kind of players, they pay cheap and sell for big, amazing scouting. Porto, Borussia, Atletico, Shakhtar, Napoli - talent treasuries

Hulk is doing bad at Zeint for that price, but with better team, he might prove his worth. Anyway I agree there might be other players available, as much I dont see Lewandowski as truly world class striker, I have feeling he could become Chelsea legend and world class striker. And I also just read that Porto wants 40!!!mio pounds for Martinez...no thanks. He could be great, but if we spend 40+ mio on striker it should be only Falcao or Cavani.

What about Bender boys? Lars and Sven? They both seem very good players, young with offensive/defensive abilities. And there are reports Real offered Roma 25mio EUR for De Rossi. What the f Real needs so many CMs? Xabi, Modric, Essien, Khedira, Coentrao, Sahin (loan),...and now De Rossi If they want to get rid of Sahin, we should buy him next summer. Similar to Cesc, he is exactly what we need in midfield, shall we buy a new CM in summer. And he wouldnt be that expensive, since they would want to sell him to make room for others.

He is possible next Falcao. His goals are great, has ball control and good finishing. And what the f are you keep moaning about Porto ripping us? Carvalho, Ferreira, Mou are one of best people that worked for CFC. I dont care if we pay triple the price, if players do well, I dont see problem. If there was club that ripped us it is Lpool and their 50mio Torres. Or Sheva for 35 from Milan. I personaly would love to see Alex Sandro, Martinez, James or Moutinho here if we needed them. Yes we would overpay them, but this is Porto, you pay lot, you (usually) get lot. Hulk would be great player, but Russia realy dont fit him...

Torres keeps playing, but this guy cant have 5 mins of play time? Cmon RDM.

Hehe, I didnt meant he is immature because of halloween costume, but because of his recent bad games and stuff.

Well take that as great chance for Romeu to surprise. He is good player and with Mikel gone in jan, he will show how good he is.

This guy needs to be more mature.As much I like his jokes and all, he needsto grow up and then he could be perfect CB.

Moutinho would be good, but much too expensive. Banega has potential to be even better, his passing, long balls, ball tracking, marking. And would cost about 13mio. Him and Mata would rock together. Believe me.

I dont see why Mikel would go in january, he is doing well. If we must go for CM, Fellaini is not worth his money. Banega, Tino Costa, De Rossi, Vidal,...would be much better. Anyway we dont have money for 50mio striker and classy 20mio cm. Only one will come and I hope its striker.

Well, he wasnt impressive tonight, had few chances, didnt create any and only one or two shots. Atletico played very bad in first half, tried hard in second, but Valencia was superb in attack and defence, they won 2:0. Superb goal from Soldado and I must say I realy enyojed watching Feghouli. Falcao showed that he is very strong player, not easy to get off the ball and his jumping is fantastic. He run whole game, tried hard, but it just wasnt his day. Was fouled many times, but get up realy quickly, full respect to him for his attitude. So Atletico played similar to us, lot of possesion, attacking, but there was no support, no final pass to Falcao and he didnt create much on his own. Perhaps Im bit dissapointed with lack of his dribbling, would expect more from him realy. But you can clearly see he is enjoying play football, and his ball control is great. I said that he is not good at passing, however, tonight he was great at passing and showed he can be team player. A goal from him would be nice, but the game overall was very exciting and Valencia deserved victory. Tino Costa, Filipe Luis, Diego Godin, Joao Perreira, Adriano and Arda had good game aswell. I was happy to see Ever Banega to come in game in second half, he was always one of my favourite players at Valencia and I hope he fully recovered from injury. Wouldnt be bad to see him at Chelsea someday. Certainly he must stay at Valencia now to gain fitness and gets regular football. Maybe in summer, we could get him.

Ever Banega would be very cheap CM option, Fantastic player, unfortunely he was injured last season. For 10-15 mio, we would get 24 yrs old player with tons of potential. And he was great together with Mata in valencia past seasons. His height (1,73) is question for CM and his fitness is low right now, but before injury, he was realy amazing, similar to Modric.

Falcao was very lucky now, hopefuly he is able to play on...Soldado stepped on his head by accidence.

Yay! Always happy to see him score goals.

He will play tonight vs Valencia if anyone wants to watch...

Striker is priority, not CM.
