Higuan is very good playing in the League and scoring goals against small teams. In Europe however it is a different story he is poor, but against small teams he is very effective and that can be the difference between winning the league and not winning it.

Di Maria just played a nice pass come dummy to put Higuan through on goal and score 1-0 Real, good play from Di Maria - Maybe irrelevant but our boy Essien just slotted a great header, perhaps he's still got it?

I'm watching him play now against Osasuna

If this did happen it would be a dream come true.

Do you guys honestly, and I mean honestly think we'll get Cavani? Just interested in what you all think, I really hope he comes. But talking realistically please.

I really hope we can get him, I think Jose will get the best out of him. Also he's versatile in the way that he can pass good long balls as well has hold down the midfield and stop counters.

Thoughts on Marchisio and what he could bring to Chelsea guys?

He would be absolutely fantastic, I would welcome him with open arms. Plus, he could tutor Lukaku and wouldn't stench his growth as Zlatan won't be playing in 2-3 seasons to come. Perfect signing.

Also we need a right midfielder, I would recommend a Valencia-esque type player, someone who will sprint down the wing and cross. We do not need a play-maker at right wing. I would like someone with pace like Di Maria or Schurlle, not a player who is quick over a short distance (Mata, Oscar, Isco)

Exactly, he plays the no. 10 role. The same position as Mata. We have alternatives in the no. 10 spot (Oscar, Hazard, Moses even Marin)

Even if none of these 3 deals happen we still have Lukaku and under Mourinho I could see him net 20+ PL goals this coming season. However a defensive midfielder is DEFINITELY needed.

Bushman this is not a forum to be instigating trouble and causing a problem with other forum members. Please behave yourself and act appropriately.

Pretty sure he'll sign for Arsenal

This was exactly the type of thing I was looking for! Thanks for the help and thanks also to everyone else. All the best

I have lots of exams coming up and I struggle to find any motivation to buckle down and revise and rather find my self on this forum! (not a bad trade off) Still, as much as I love the forum priorities come first, any tips or advice on how to motivate myself and do well? Thanks

Listen enes we understand what you're trying to say, Turkey in general are not racist and Fenerbache are not racist. One or two people's actions do not epitomize the club as a whole. Just because a few angry Fener fans decided to act disgustingly it doesn't represent Turkish football or Fener. There are racists at every football club, it is just the unfortunate nature of some of the supporters.

I agree, bringing in any of the Bender's could potentially stunt Chalobah's development at the club, and he is a real gem

I guess this could work but then we are missing a creative link in the pivot. I may just be being naive, I haven't seen enough of Chalobah's passing to make a clear judgement.

Like mentioned in the De Rossi thread I don't think getting either of the Bender twins is a good idea as they are both 25 meaning Chalobah would not have room to develop at the club.

My realistic estimation: OUT: Benayoun (free) Malouda (free) IN: KDB (loan), Schurle (£20m), Di Maria (£15m), Pepe (7m), Mourinho

Very poor in the first half, Rammy and Frank struggling to keep shape in the midfield. Albeit, the second half was an improvement I think Luiz did well in the midfield and luckily we got the result we needed! Well done Chelsea! #KTBFFH
