LukakutoStamford 779 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 The problem is that we have two defensive minded players in 2 of three attacking position who appear to have inconsistent and fairly limited offensive games. Another issue is that Cesc for all of his assists is a plough horse and gets killed by any semblance of pace in the midfield. Excluding any Messi scenario, I think that Chelsea needs a dynamic right winger with pace and a CAM who isn't a total defensive liability but who can create in space.GK Keep Courtois Sell Cech for market (likely somewhere between 10-15 mil£) add a reliable second GK for cheap and perhaps Blackman as #3 LB Sell Luis unless he's going to start otherwise move Azpi to RB options at LB start with Rodriguez /AmaviCB I think Varane is the choice here if he's available and the price is right.RB As mentioned Azpi moves here Brana becomes super sub/spot starter for RB/CB/RWB/DM/ST CM Matic needs help as does Cesc add one of Koke/Pogba and one of Nainggolan/Schneiderlin/Witsel/OtherRW- need a good RW with pace Sterlibg would fit but price is too much Bellerabi looks like he could be a great fitCAM sell Oscar bring in Dimitri Payet he'd be reasonably cheap and he has great chemistry with Hazard from their Lille days. Or go with FakirAlternatively Hazard is moved to CAM and Chelsea looks for a new LWST need a Drogba replacement I'd love Benteke but I wonder if he wants to play as a #1 striker rather than a 2/3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Realisticaly our RW will only be improved with Turan/Sterling IMO. Bale is too expensive, while Sanchez, Messi, Reus etc. are unrealistic and too expensive.In few years, we might actualy have english right side in Clyne-Sterling if we ever buy them.

CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Changed my mind again, lol. Courtois/ButlandAzpi/Iva Zouma/Kalas Terry/Varane Luis/Azpi 3rd choice Ake (RB 3rd = Kalas) For the biggest games, Terry - Varane used Matic/Schweinsteiger RLC/MvG 3rd choice CM = Colkett, 3rd choice DM Ake. Cesc/Oscar/Willian Willian/Oscar Diego/Remy Hazard/Remy 3rd choice FW = Fabregas NB: Yes, Oscar can be a playmaker. He does it for Brazil, I don't see why he can't do it for us.

ILoveLamp 270 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 In theory wqhy not, but in reality it will never happen. José made his judgement and ManU would not sell him cheap. He is good but certainly not worth what they paid for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 2,832 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Manchester City will be having a fire sale at the end of the season... Well, they should at least. If they want to get anywhere. I think we should push for Dzeko if he becomes available. Will be one of the cheaper players, and would be a good bit of business. Talented and tall striker who can bag a bunch throughout the season, and won't be too worried about playing time considering Costa will always have his nagging injuries, and when we have played 2 up front, we actually looked quite decent.He links up nicely and if Costa does go down he is good enough to be the guy up front and lead your team to victories.

Agree. I've always though Dzeko was good enough to lead a team. If we could get him for around 15m that'd be amazing. Bosnian Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could get him for around 15m that'd be amazing.Tbh if we're going after ditched City strikers i'd much rather go for Jovetic.Young, ridiculously talented but hasn't been given a proper chance at City. And I reckon you'd get him for under 10-15M. JaKstone, stroey and Reddish-Blue 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iseah100 5,612 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Tbh if we're going after ditched City strikers i'd much rather go for Jovetic.Young, ridiculously talented but hasn't been given a proper chance at City. And I reckon you'd get him for under 10-15M.He is constantly injured though. And more of a gamble. Dzeko is safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper22 2,418 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 He is constantly injured though. And more of a gamble. Dzeko is safe.I guess that's a good point. And I guess it always seems to be his hamstring so the label injury prone wouldn't be unfair. But I guess that's for our scouting/medical team to say.My counter to that would be their respective ages (22 vs 29) as a big plus for Jovetic but you do make a good point. stroey and iseah100 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
