I would start with: Bego - Azpi, Zouma, Terry, A Decent Left Back - Matic, Fábregas - Moses, Willian, Hazard - Costa Mourinho would start with: Bego, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpi - Zouma, Matic - Ramires, Fábregas, Hazard - Costa
Santos officially rejected our offer in 2010 but Neymar was very very hyped back then. He was on trial at Real Madrid in 2006(he was 14), so I guess clubs had been monitoring him since he was a child. By the way, is there any news on Kenedy? I like this guy a lot, I can't wait the announcement.
Rose is a good player but he would fail hard at Chelsea. Mourinho doesn't like fullbacks like him. That Baba kid looks very good at defending, he'd fit in much more.
An official transfer request is a desperate move if a club want to keep a player against his will. I think Everton is willing to sell Stones but they want to rip us off.
Everton have rejected us 2-3 times, not Stones. His club have to accept our bid so we can negotiate with him. It's possible that he'd sign for us in five minutes.
Why not? Courtois broke into the first team after three succesful loan spells. He should be out on loan as long as he is not needed at Chelsea, we shouldn't do "a Kalas" with him.
I don't think the decide it now if a player will play here or not. Who the hell knew four years ago that Courtois can challange Cech? Or that Traoré becomes a first team member in less than two years. We buy players with great potential, loan them out and everything else is up to them. We wouldn't sign a player if we didn't believe in him.
At Elche Pasalic had a very defensive role and the whole team was shit but Monaco is pretty good. Also, Toulalan and Moutinho will do some dirty work so Mario can show his creative abilities this year.
I didn't know that we are facing Barcelona in the FedEx Field. I've been missing that stadium, can't wait to see the Redskins there but a Chelsea-Barcelona will do tonight.
What do we want with Callejon? Mourinho confirmed that Traoré is staying, Cuadrado just got a new number so it looks like he is staying too, Willian's position is strong and Moses is promising too. Callejon is a pretty good player but we don't need him. Baba and Stones can come though.
It looks like we are buying him. Filipe is officialy gone and Baba is the only LB we are linked with. It'd be a huge surprise if we signed someone else.
