Big game. Ramires moves to the right wing. Cliche. Bet he's gonna get switched back to centre-mid at half-time. Just hoping we are playing 4-3-3.

Why not? But only as a back-up to Shaw and third choice behind him and Bertrand.

Exactly....given us most of our successes. And it's characteristic of Chelsea since no other team have a similar color scheme.

Yes, please

Yeah..Loved the blue stripes on white trim on our 11/12 shirt.

I'm in. Not sure how this works.

Ironically, he won both Copa del Rey and La Liga before Luka Modric came in and Modric pretty much struggled under MourinhoStill dont think we are going to play possession based football. P.s.how did we end up here from Varane?

Fair point but I think our next team will be more focussed on Hazard like Jose did with Cristiano Ronaldo at Madrid. Counter attacks is going to remain the core of our attacking principle. Also in a 4-2-3-1, the No.10 role is much more important than the No.8 role. I don't think Xabi Alonso or Khedira were proper No.8s.

I hate FFP and 50m strikers.

Buying Varane with Luiz still on is going to be a FFP suicide. If we sell him and get Varane, I'd be happy with the options of Matic, Rami, v.Ginkel, 36yo Lamps and Mikel in our 2 man pivot. If we switch to 4-3-3, even Oscar can play there sometimes. I definitely would not spend 20m or less on Bender(Lars or Sven) for that matter.

I'm not sure if things work this way, but we already have 40m from the Mata transfer. Provided we sell Luiz for, around, 35m, that leaves us enough money to cover for both Shaw and 'The Striker'. And Varane could be that 'good deal' you mentioned.

Also someone like Cahill or Ivanovic should stick around to provide the experience which is vital especially at CB, when Terry retires. I wouldn't trust such a young defensive line for shit.

Unless we buy those big CM names you mentioned, going for this one is a no-brainer. But you seriously think we can get any of them?

I'd trade that CM cash for this kid, unless we can get our hands on Kroos, which, you know, is not happening imo.

He was signed for £8m from Lens with Zidane taking a huge interest him. Madrid did know what they were getting.

Sell Luiz to Barca and buy him Double whammy for Madrid. Definitely a long shot. Zidane will have something to say on that regard. He is considered as the kid's mentor.

Both Drogba and Mourinho has labelled this young Frenchman as the best defender in the world right now. Even though that remains to be seen, he make going to make a great addition to our side and, maybe, the possible long-term replacement for John Terry. Imagine Azpi--Varane--Zouma/Kalas--Shaw as our back four in 2-3 years time. Its a fucking go for me any day of the week.

According to Jose, he is the worlds best young defender. If there is even the slightest glimmer of hope of getting his signature, Mourinho is sure to pounce at the opportunity. Imagine Azpi--Varane--Zouma/Kalas--Shaw as our back four in 2-3 years time. That could be the most most formidable back four in Europe( of course there is the lack of experience) This summer transfer window is going to be exciting times as a Chelsea supporter.

Respect

Yellow again, please. Time for another FA Cup next year.

Can't remember how many times I've had that discussion with my friends. Shame indeed. Also they can't score for shit
