Reddish-Blue

Rodriguez + Rakitic/insert name of new CM + Costa would be a pretty good set of transfers!

The kid just wanted to play regular football in the EPL. He's got lots to learn and I honestly hope he gets a fair chance at Chelsea Selling him would be a mistake, just like Sturridge

He offers something different to our team....I would not be surprised to see Jose keep either Atsu or Piazon next season as squad depth..

If Luiz is deadwood.....then I wonder what Mikel and Torres would be considered to be? He's a defender that doesn't suit Jose's tactical system...you put him on a team with freedom (e.g. Barca) and he will thrive.

Saints deserve better than that... Moyes would be perfect for West Brom. Small Budget, expect to finish 10th to 15th, some quality youngsters and a decent overall squad..

Expectations for next season: Win the league title & Blood-in 1 English/Home grown youngster

30 million is just too much for Luke Shaw. If we need homegrown players...how about making the effort to blood-in 1 english youngster every season from now on... e.g. Chalobah next season, RLC the season after...

Well after the whole Ferdinand thing...Terry had to retire, which is a shame considering he's still the best England CB. As for Cole, poor decision by the England manager to leave him out of the squad

I hope Chalobah is part of a premier league squad next season, whether that be at Chelsea or somewhere on loan.. Next season's potential squad (*assuming Costa deal is all but done): Cech, Courtois Ivan, Azpi, Terry, Cahill, Kalas/Zouma, new LB Matic, Ramires, MvG, Lampard, new CM to replace Mikel? Schurrle, Hazard, Oscar, Salah, Willian Costa*, Lukaku/new second striker

Cahill wasn't unknown....most of the clubs thought he was average.

Nat will either make it at Chelsea or be sold off like Jack Cork for around 500,000 to a Championship club...

Dyke's plan will never pass A few people have suggested the premier league's 8-player homegrown squad rule should be enforced with 4 homegrown players (eligible for England) in the starting XI of every club. At the very least, that would let the English manager have 80 English players to choose from...

The only way he fits is if Oscar or Willian sit on the bench --------------Costa------------ Hazard -- Willian -- Lavezzi

That's great news....hopefully one of the players going to Middlesbrough is Lewis Baker.

Even if PvA was to come back to Chelsea...he'd still be third choice LB Assuming we sign Moreno/Luis/Sandro/Shaw/someone-else as #1 LB....then you still have Azpi as the versatile RB/LB and then in third-spot would be PvA I like PvA's attacking skills, they would definitely come in handy against the lower PL sides

Totally agree. Bertrand is a decent squad player, generally doesn't complain about lack of football and he'll give you 7/10 performances when called upon.. However, there's no real 'spark' about Bertrand and for the sake of his career, he's better off signing permanently for Villa

Since the 2002 World Cup, who is your favourite Brazilian national team player?

From what i've read, City needs to have 8 locally-trained players in their reduced squad size of 21.....meaning that certain 'squad role' players will miss out next season...and a few of their homegrown youngsters will get an opportunity

Totally agree...he had Agger and Toure on the bench...both of them have been captains for their club/country...and maybe bringing one of them off the bench could have helped the team calm down... Oh well...LFC had their chance and they blew it

His substitutions were even more bizarre. With 12 minutes to go...leading 3-0 away from home, with two experienced defenders on the bench, he decides to bring on Coutinho and Moses

What a game. Still can't believe Crystal Palace managed to get a draw... Rodgers is clueless about the defensive side of the game..

Exactly. Saying anything negative about Mourinho is like committing a crime on this forum... At the end of the day, Mourinho is not god and everyone makes mistakes

We need to figure out how to break down the lower PL sides first!

What an awful result....these are the types of games we should be winning by 2 or 3 goals Surprised that Kalas and Van Ginkel didn't get a chance against Norwich.. All in All, Mourinho will either win a major trophy next season or he'll be on his way
