illmatic 901 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 For me, is a little bit of quality and depth, but principally, quality. Quality who we should improve in some specific places. One attack midfielder(CAM or Wing) more efective and one more solid midfielder.But only two signings, we can resolve that, and even have more depth: Pedro and Witsel.You will have that squad:Costa(Falcao/Remy)Hazard(Moses) - Cesc(Oscar) - Pedro(William)Witsel(Ramires/RLC) - Matic(Mikel)*I Assume that If we buy Pedro, will sell Cuadrado.Good quality, good depth. More than enough for fight all titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukakutoStamford 779 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Now we don't have depth? Wow.Not in Jose's eyes when the starters play nearly every minute. Not sure why people can't understand that playing almost every minute will lead to injury and players breaking down. TheIceMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I wouldn't believe everything Jose says. According to some sites that have been accurate in the past there are 6 signings in the pipeline.Go figure, I think we will see 2 more players come. Or I hope.Witsel > MikelAnd another.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 My thoughts exactly. From the beginning of the transfer window, there has been a consent under us fans that we need reinforcements. No major ones but some tuning of the squad here and there. But your brilliant graphic points it out, one after another have been erased by Mou. Now, when JOse also has sold Luis. He does not want to replace him. I mean what the fuck? azpi and Iva have been tired anyways while Luis has not been used enough and now, they have to split his minutes between them with no single reinforcement on that positions, ake even loaned out? Mou has stated again and again that we aim to maintain the status quo. But given how much all our rivals have strengthened whilst we have possibly decreased our depth and quality this sounds like the receipt to certain failure. Not that I would have a problem with a season of modest success whilst promoting youth. But we all know this is not gonna happen. Some of our most promising youngster have already been loaned out. Even Zouma will not see much time when we also sign Stones, who imo should be further down the priority list given our lack of fullbacks and quality CMs. Those statements, that we don't need any players sound so defeatist. And that is so not Mou. I dunno. His reluctance to rotate properly has cost us already but it seems getting worse.Chelsea sits on a shitload of money that is only getting bigger. Maybe there are bigger plans like a new stadium that will cost a lot, but surely this should not stop of from making a few quality signings. Given many of those are also available to a decent price. Vidal left for ridiculous 24.5m pound. That is peanuts for CFC. Witsel would cost a similar amount. But no. Not even Aranguiz for a meagre 15m. The financial risks of those signings would be so low, in the worst case we would have another option for the bench if they don't work out. Quite simply , as of now we got like a dozen quality players and a few average ones but still many squad places to fill, so whether the signings are expensive or not, first team or squad fillers, the only mistake we can make is not to buy and guess what, this is what we do. I think we as fans, who worry about the club deserve an honest answer why the heck we are behaving like morons on the transfer market.

Hes the one who should be putting forward the point of view as having one of the best footballing minds in history.But I do remember when he first came back and there was reports that there was a clause in his contract stating he wouldn't be in charge of transfers. So its soiunding like Granovskaia and Emenalo have the power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres got to be some reason Mous being like this.Mourinho is always going to make out he is delighted with the squad, we are champions. That was always going to happen. Do I really think he doesnt want signings? Absolutely not, there will be additions, I'd bet my house. He just wont give nothing away right now.

Or I hope.Witsel > MikelAnd another.No idea about about the 6 signings in the pipeline, naturally, but you are quite right about Jose of course.We all know that managers are far more likely to try to conceal the truth than tell it when talking about transfer activity. Jose made it quite clear that we went into the window wanting signings so it's an easy deduction that the club has tried to follow through. Maybe we still have irons in the fire, maybe our targets have all turned us down, maybe we've refused to be taken for a ride over fees or wages, maybe all of these have occurred, maybe none of them have.Whatever the reason for the lack of major signings, the one reason we can rule out is the club not thinking reinforcements are necessary. When the need for strengthening is so clear to virtually all of us, how arrogant would we have to be to imagine that the club cannot see the obvious too?
