Would love to see a pivot of Ramires - Oscar. Can see Oscar playing the Modric role at Madrid, can put in a good challenge and counter attack quickly.

Cech Ivanovic - Cahil - Terry - Cole Ramires - MvG KDB - Oscar - Hazard Lukaku Can't see Mata starting as he is not 100% fit yet. Can't see any spanish players starting as well considering that they may be jet lagged from their NT friendly and that Luiz isn't 100% either.

Chelsea vs Hull team line up..... Cech Ivanovic - Cahil - Terry - Cole MvG - Ramires KDB - Oscar - Hazard Lukaku

Cech Dave - Cahil - Terry - Bertrand Essien - MVG Hazard - Mata - Shurrle Ba I could see this being the starting line up as I think Shurrle needs some game time and Mata hasn't even started a game yet

Lacina Traore would be a good investment with bags of potential. Wouldn't mind him and Lukaku as are forwards for the season

Anzhi Makhachkala owner Suleyman Kerimov has put the entire first-team squad up for sale, suggesting the club will instead focus on developing young academy stars after failing to achieve "instant success." This means that there are a lot of class players that Chelsea could potentially buy. Even though Jose is happy with the squad the likes of Eto'o at a low price could mean we look else where. Should we take advantage of taking some of their best players or just leave it alone. I personally wouldn't mind having Eto'o, depending he cuts his wages, for two or three years while Lukaku matures for those years. Another talent Anzhi has got is Lacina Traore who looked decent against Liverpool in the Europa league and is another young talent in the market.

Chalobah, so much potential

As there are very few striking options now, I could see Chelsea putting in a bid for Yilmaz.

Well if your a quoting his twitter account he was back in London as he got a hair cut before the 20th, so my friend probaly had seen him in London before he went back on holiday. Also he had been retweeting people that ran into him into London before the 20th as well, so my friends tip is reliable which I am very looking forward. I miss quoted as I said that he met him today as I was only told today

Well all I know is that a friend who is A Watford fan and had seen him in a shop and he asked are you coming back to Watford and he said that Jose wanted to keep him. I was informed about that today

I know someone who ran into Nathaniel Chalobah today in a shop in London and had a chat with him. Chalobah said to him that Jose wants him to stay at Chelsea and is in his plans. I think that this is brilliant news as Chalobah is a great talent and is another English talent coming through the ranks at Chelsea

Very good article, I felt that everyone was against Emenalo and didn't know why he was here. Just shows that he is doing a good job with some top signings and hopefully he keeps up the good work

another good young center back with a lot of potential, would be a much cheaper option than Mangala

This is a player that would perfect at Chelsea and well worth the £34m.

I have know idea where this rumor has come from, if it is based on Sky bet then that is stupid

I was only referring that peoples opinions on this topic was that he was too old, I personally think he would be a good option for Chelsea

If we could buy Hulk for under £25m then I would rather have him instead of Shurrle, only because Hazard is more effective on the left and if we did sign Shurrle then this may mean Hazard would play on the right as he is more versatile than Shurrle. Hulk is still good and would be perfect for the Premier league, it is just the price and his age that is questionable for a move to Chelsea,

What would be your ideal new signings and who would you like to see the back of. This topic is just to hear you opinions on who we should buy and sell. There are many topics that are like this but many don't mention who we should sell. Personally I think we definitely need a striker, a winger / wide man and a center back. I think we need someone to replace Luiz as I think he should player further forward in the defensive midfield role. I think that we should include KDB in the squad as a wide man but that is looking more unlikely to happen as Shurrle is coming in and KDB is going to other way (only on loan). My 3 ins would be: Cavani, Shaw, Mangala/Varane My 3 outs would be: Torres, Marin, Ba As Yossi, Malouda, Ferreira, Turnbull and Hilario are out of contract you can't include them in your outs. I think it would be great if we get in Cavani in swap deal with Torres and Lukaku would replace Ba. Shaw would be a great signing would be loaned back to Southampton as I feel that he isn't ready yet. Just to clarify these are only my opinions and would like to hear your opinions on the possible signings and possible people outs.

It's a shame that we couldn't keep hold of KDB, would have been better is we loan out Marin instead.

Luiz performance during the europa league were outstanding. Luiz is up there with the best long passers in the world and if you were pay attention to games that midfield is his best position by far. Cahill and Brana are technically better defenders. They don't go wondering out of defense and they put in a good tackle. Cahill last ditch challenge in the final is a great example so how is Luiz is our best defender.

Luiz isn't a defender, he is much better in midfield. On his day Luiz is up there with on of the best midfielders in the world so why would you want him in defense. Brana and Cahil are better defenders than Luiz

I think the important thing that Chelsea should do is make him sign a contract extension. Courtois is an amazing keeper and he will definitely be the number one choice to replace Cech. Give Courtois two more seasons in Madrid then gradually put him in the starting eleven, a few Champions league, league and cup games.

Manager: The Special One Bench: Blackman, Ivanovic, Cahil, Chalobah, Oscar, Moses, Lukaku

Wouldn't buying a CB mean that Luiz will play in midfield, which would be great. Eliaquim Mangala would be a great addition to the squad, strong fast and still learning.
