LukakutoStamford 779 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Keep hearing talk of Bale - is that likely?I felt Bale was 100% gone before the possibility of the transfer ban for Real. I still think he will be moved but with his transfer fee and wages there's not too many possible destinations. United would seem be the most logical destination. I think while Chelsea could afford Bale I think his acquisition would limit what could be done at other positions of need. I don't think we'll see a megastar transfer to Chelsea in the summer. I do think we will see more intelligent acquisitions of talented players at excellent value similar to Fabregas and Costa, which I think will mean players Scheiderlin, Nainggolan, Witsel, who can be had between 20-30 mil. I'd love to see Chelsea pick up Benteke and Batshuayi for 2nd and 3rd strikers as that would make the strike force formidable plus Benteke going to any of United, Arsenal, Liverpool is going to be a big problem. A right wing like Griezmann would be excellent as Sterling is going to cost way too much.I think Cuadrado, Luis, Remy and possibly Oscar will be sold. I think Drogs will become a coach.

Superblue 6,372 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 The most important transfer work has been done in the past two seasons and with some of the moves that Jose, Emenalo, etc have done I have full confidence that we'll get things right this summer too.Two players I think would offer massive value are James Milner and Luiz Adriano. Milner has arguably been City's best player this season, so will no doubt weaken their squad. With Jose's preference for working with a smaller squad too, his versatility would be invaluable. Add to that he's homegrown and seeing as we don't fill our quota, I think to get him on a free would be great business.Luiz Adriano's contract at Shakhtar runs out in December which is awkward, but again would represent great business if he can be signed on a free in January, or a nominal fee can be agreed with Shakhtar. He scores goals, has good experience in the Champions League and I think would be a great challenger to Diego Costa for the striker spot. He's also more reliable than Remy from an injury point of view which takes less burden off the rest of the team. With two top strikers at the club, it would also give us the chance to perhaps bring Bamford back as our third striker.With a couple of really good signings like above to strengthen our squad for little cost, it would allow us to spend more money on one or two players who could improve the starting XI. For me if the rumours are true, I would take somebody like Bale as our big signing. He would add goals, directness, pace (particularly given the way we counter attack) and we would have somebody who could genuinely take the burden off Hazard to create and score when the team is struggling. And having Hazard and Bale flanking Costa would scare the shite out of everybody in the Premier League. kellzfresh and Muzchap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!Hazard! 3,394 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 How much would we need to offer for David Alaba? Bayern are reported to be interested in Ivanovic so maybe Chelsea should try a cheeky bid like £40M + Iva. One of the most complete players in the world and he would be perfect in a pivot playing next to Matic. He is basically Ramires and Koke put into one player, just insane guy and he is only 22 years old! Matic-Alaba-Cesc would be fantastic midfield and would raise our game to the next level in counter-attacks as well as possession play. I read he would prefer playing in midfield but psycho-Pep keeps putting players in weird positions. He played centreback before getting injured ffs. Apparantly Real Madrid are also interested in him.

Muzchap 8,966 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I must say I'm a big fan of Benteke He's hitting some good form now. With a decent team supplying him - he could be a real beast. Hope Loserpool don't try and sign him or Arsenal stroey and kellzfresh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Haha your right @The Chels,. It isn't like last year where our needs were glaringNow that we've won the PL, all that these journos know is that JM has said we'd make 2/3 signings, all they can do now is link #CFC with every prospect under the moon.I just hope we don't have a long drawn out transfer saga. Don't think i can survive another Cavani and Hulk saga. That shit was so annoying lmaoo Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuvala 2,167 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 We have to add additional goal threat next season IMO.We are too dependant on Hazard and Costa for threatening goal, we need someone like Bale \ Reus (and please not another Salah\Cuadrado buy like this Douglas Costa boy would be). stroey, LukakutoStamford, ILoveLamp and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Shit load of news and rumors from Di Marzio's site.* City are after Pogba and want to offer Juventus players such as Kolarov, Dzeko, Yaya Touré, Nasri and Jovetic.* Juventus dont want Yaya, but Real are intrested. Yaya's gonna leave City they say.* City want to spend up to 300m euros this summer (right), KDB and Sterling are another big targets.* Pep could might leave, and Bayern are thinking about Klopp and Carlo.* AC Milan 'dreams' about Zlatan who's contract will end next summer. stroey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nono 791 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 If we just signed Koke and Griezmann I would cream my pants. That is like a fantasy scenario. A midfield of Matic, Koke and Fabregas is so awesome. Our team will be really fluid with Griezmann who is also an athletic player. With these two our football will really go up a level.
