"Loic is special because he knows the country and the league and he would be an interesting player for the team," Garde said. "He is part of some players I'll try to attract to Aston Villa for sure."

Maybe we could look at Sam byram of Leeds , 22 and rumoured to Liverpool for £5m. Likened to a right sided bale.

first options, need natural fullbacks, azpi on the left defends well, but destroys any buildup, can't have the fullback taking 4 touches and cutting back every time

if i dont see proper fullbacks.... might just watch 90 minutes of fake taxi instead

did barkley and kane not have underwhelming loans?

because if they do well, they'll be whisked away. i bet if christensen was on a 6 month of 1 year loan, he wouldn't have been afforded the same game time. unless the player is indisputably amazing, courtois, lukaku,.... don't expect them to play much. even zouma's st etienne status went backwards following our purchase, was shifted out to right back. alot of clubs see chelsea loanees as a chance to bring in cheap squad depth, and players for cup games.

well they'd have 0 interest in developing our youngsters. if rlc was at spurs' academy, he'd probably be playing. if we signed dele alli, he'd be loaned off somewhere stupid , or making the bench every 7 games here.

Who cares about them , that crop weren't dominating all before them.

Our youth players are brilliant. Won a host of trophies. Easy to just undervalued them when they aren't playing.

balance? the cunt lands on his arse taking penalties. worst chelsea midfielder ever

he'll be 25 next year.... just release him

should consider retirement. moves like an injured 12 year old

too scared to touch the youngsters on the bench, even at the expense of leaving oscar out there. our club is really lame atm

I'd feel more comfortable getting out of the scrap , with talented energetic players , than boring old guys who got us into the mess

retain yes, but you can't play him beyond whats sensible. we will pay the price for losing bertrand and not developing our academy players.

i'd consider hughes and pardew

I think we should look at austin, a good target man, a powerful shot and a true chelsea fan

maybe on the cheap, he's a bit old

can you elaborate, as to why he's no good?

don't think matic can be upgraded, just needs a better system and midfield partners. much better with luiz next to him

even delivering killer corners now... fine player

i wouldnt entertain any midfield not including rlc, only way our midfield won't be severely lacking, in multiple departments

its coming on 2016, mikel-rambo is not viable.

shame jose isnt still here for this one. could have been box office, 0 shots in total,

i'l take the manager waking up, and finally fielding viable teams, would be nice
