We don't need to make a big money, big name striker for next season. Ba and Lukaku will do fine and are just what we need imo. Although I reckon we'll need a third striker but it doesn't have to be a big name.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! I feel this guy would seriously help our midfield problems.

Chelsea would like to get the deal done for Isco this month but Malaga are very keen to keep hold of him until summer (People)

I think he had a good game today, solid and did well attacking. He's really coming into his stride and he seem's to be the right back we've been missing for years!

Surely means Coloccini is nearing the exit? Good deal for Newcastle though, a natural leader at a young age.

What an impact sub.....for the other team Seriously he did nothing after coming on, everytime he got the ball he gave it away...

Woah, I wasn't expecting an announcement by Bayern this soon. Had seen loads of rumours about where he was off to recently but I expected it to carry on to near the end of the season.

But I don't feel you need too much experience in the 3 behind the striker, it's other areas of the field that need experience. But I agree with having a striker in there prime who can somewhat command the 3 behind and tell them what kind of balls they want played etc.

My mistake sorry

So Shaktar announce the deal is off then he signs for them? Talk about a quick turn around...

Do want. If we were to get him and not Fellani I'd be pretty happy

I think Smeagol sums up my feelings to Torres (and Benitez)

Its a tough choice for who starts up top because whoever starts tonight will not start against Stoke (more than likely). Mata must start if we want any chance of winning this. My line up would be: Turnball Azpi - Cahill - Ivan - Bertrand Lamps - Luiz Oscar - Mata - Marin Torres

Probably 9 playmakers, and Fernando Torres up front

A deal had been agreed between CFC and Metalist for Taison; however a late move by MCFC has prompted Metalist to demand £2m more (Mail)

I must admit I do feel that Cavani would be a better signing than Falcao. I've got a bad feeling about signing Falcao (I hope I'm wrong and if we do get him he turns out to be a massive success)

Chelsea are preparing an offer of €63m for Napoli striker Edinson Cavani and a 5 year contract worth €125,000/week this summer (CALCIO)

Probably himself

Oscar is much more suited to a CM role but we don't play a formation with CM's. We have two extremes almost, either CAM's or CDM's which makes it very hard to find a specific place to play Oscar since he has abilities for both but is molded to a position specifically. I can't see where the club are coming from on this transfer, most people who have seen him say that he isn't Chelsea quality. If we have to have another AM I'd much rather us spend a little extra and get Isco.

Missed out on Neymar what do you mean? No body knows where he will go after Santos, there have been rumour's that he's off to Barcelona but nothing concrete.

Coentrao is a very good fullback on his day, especially when attacking but I really want Bertrand to be given a shot if Cole leaves. Buying Coentrao will effectively end his career at Chelsea since he's 22 and he'd still be playing second fiddle to another LB.

Basically the same as above: Chelsea are thought to have had an £8m bid rejected for Real Betis midfielder Benat. (AS via Daily Star)

As much as I would like this to happen, I'm pretty sure it won't happen this month. We may make a move in the summer but for now I don't think we will.

He's a great talent, would love him here. It would mean either Oscar to deep lying playmaker or the end for Marin
