Chalobah or Aké. The later was good when he played for us last year when needed. What we need is a world class starting pivot. Rambo + a new one, something really strong for big games. But we could see something like Aké + MVG as backup (if mikel and Essien leaves) So Rambo - Witsel / Gundogan / Matic / Pogba (is he homegrown?) with Aké - MVG as backup and in case of injury, Luiz is still there

If Mata leaves, he could be Oscar's backup. Seeing that we will struggle when Lampard, Terry and Cole are leaving with the homegrown quota, we should bring him back asap to be club trained. We don't need to have 11 world class starters + 11 world class backups, the club trained youth is the key when they are good enough like Piazon (Moses is homegrown btw) Is Kakuta club trained or homegrown? If KDB and Mata are off, that would gives : Schuurle - Piazon - Moses (+ Kakuta) as backup Hazard - Oscar - Willian as starters And when Boga, Traoré, Mushonda will be ready, we would have greater backups while they are developing with the first team.

You are right, Moses is Homegrown

Bertrand Traoré could be a squad player.

Clear dive, never a pen

OMG why is Oscar diving???

The worst corner i have ever seen

José is reading talk chelsea, Oscar and Willian to come on

It seems that Hazard is in the middle, with André on the left and Juan on the right

Or he is gone in January

You are right, they are trying to force Monaco to establish their Head Quarter in France.

So if Essien leaves, frank & MVG injured, that would mean we will sign another CM no?

World cup year guys, that changes a lot of things

In that specific role i could see a potential Lampard remplacement in 2 or 3 years may be. But i saw it in KDB too tbh...

You are right but what i see, is a way to weaken Zulte before the play offs. Thorgan is the best player of the jupiler league, he would strengthen Anderlecht, we both agree about that, but he is not really needed. May be as left winger due to Suarez injury (he played there after the mitrovic signing), but the problem with Vanden Brom, he can't manage good rotation. Don't know how much game time he would receive. That could be just mind game to take him off from Zulte, a direct title rival

Wasn't the loan until the 30/06/2014 ? In case of recalling option, Chelsea would have to pay insane money to Zulte... to loan him back to Anderlecht? I don't buy this. You can find a recalling option with players that could walk into our squad just "in case of". Thorgan isn't ready yet and far from that.

Crazy game

They told the same for Ibra and Silva and we know where they are now

Wow that's impressive

Send him back to Russia please

Eto'o already 4 key passes
