Well: A. KDB can play right wing as well, as many people have gone crazy about in the schurrle thread. B. Oscar, can play there, and he even played there against england quite effectively, so with the right people behind and not torres in front of him i don't believe he will be totally ineffective. C. I think that is a bit harsh on Schurrle, and even then, we can put hazard on the right as they switch round a lot anyway (*Here comes the... OMG MOVING HAZARD bridgade * ). D. We also have Moses, who whilst isn't anywhere close to the likes of Mata and Hazard has shown several times he can do a job there. E. Maybe in an ideal world we would also buy di maria but i can't see that happenning and imo, Striker and DM are way more important. After all we have two of the best creative attacking mids, so someone who can actually capatilise on that would be such a greater improvement on the team. And the problems in the pivot are much emphasised with a proper DM being the solid link between attack and defence that we desperately need.

AND all the latest reports suggest that KDB isn't going anywhere in which case he can play there as well. So i wouldn't rate it as a high priority at all.

Schurrle/Oscar I disagree with that though. If Lukaku gets shipped off, which seems likely, we won't get far with Torres up front. And the pivot has been one of the biggest issues all season so i would rate that as a bigger priority as well. A proper DM, would mean that the likes of Oscar/Lampard/Ramires would be able to play there more effectively as we would have someone doing the makelele role giving them more freedom. A new CB isn't exactly essential though. I also highly doubt we will be buying a RW if the Schurlle deal goes through.

Congratulations on actually posting an unpopular opinion. I don't agree with it mind you, but still at least it follows the thread title.

Its quite simple. If Mata doesn't play, then Hazard moves to the centre or oscar does, then moses comes in to play wide or whatever. If Hazard is out then we play schurrle left. We have 3 great players all of whom are great at CAM, so that is not even close to being a priority. Striker, DM, CB, is what is needed. Cavani De rossi Mangala Schurrle for depth as Marin isn't good enough atm. Then we are all set.

We have sam walker.

A 14 year old on twatter probably.

Lol they just make anything up.

Lampard would win hands down. I love that man.

Can't wait. Jose back in some chelsea gear answering questions from the press. Will be good.

All this "kpb and kdb" is getting confusing.

Funny (sad) after all this he goes to Monaco.

Now 4/1 on. Lots of people are reading the reports and piling on.

Could be happening. Wouldn't get your hopes up yet though. We have all been here far too many times, with Falcao and hulk etc.

Oh dear. We've given him POWER! Congrats mate.

Decent versatile option. Not exactly needed. But not a bad signing if we get him for 15 mil. Would add a bit more strength to our midfield. But as I said it's not an essential purchase but more of a luxury extra buy.

Why would napoli accept 50 mil now when it's only June. May as well get one of us to pay the buy out. Which if we are actually willing to pay 50 mil then I can't see us not eventually saying fuck it and paying the other 13.

We lacked in depth quality in the attacking mid We just purely lacked depth and quality in attack. 1 striker only for european comps. We lacked depth in the pivot, especially after Romeu got injured. We had marin for example. But he never played so he may not have even been there tbh. We had lots of quality starting but generally had a very poor bench, especially when compared to city and utd.

He hasn't signed yet. So you are free to go crazy about how you were right, if it becomes official, because most people would be too happy to care. Until then. No reason for the "told you so" routine. And i thought it was July 16th?

Torres isn't even worth close to 50 mil. Lukaku is worth more. So i don't get what you are arguing there. So would i. I would love FT to go the other way and start afresh but if it doesn't happen it doesn't happen. Yes cavani will be getting high wages. But so would any player we brought in. Bringing in Cavani would be different from bringing anyone else in. The wage bill is still going to go up. If we don't get rid of torres, are we not gonna buy anyone? If Cavani comes it gives Torres the clear option. Sit on the bench and earn your money, or take a cut and go play elsewhere.

Why? As much as we want to start afresh. There is no reason why they couldn't both be here.

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmm NO.

Maybe, but Napoli still holds the power in that regard as if they don't want to sell him and no one matches the release clause they don't have to. Of course they wont want an unhappy player on their team, so it could lower thier asking price a little bit. To say 55 mil. But i think there is very slim chance he wil go for less than 50 mil, unless there is some sort of money + player swap deal.
