Spike 12,049 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I hate the phrase 'back to goal'. I know what it means and all but it just sounds to silly. I do suppose it is easier to say than 'pirouetting upon first touch of the ball to be directed towards the opposite goal net'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we've got cash left a defensive midfielder to replace Mikel in the starting lineup. Courtois; Azpi, Zouma, new CB, new LB; Mikel/new DM; Fabregas, new CM; Willian, Costa, Hazard. Shadow team: Begovic, Ivanovic (i'd prefer we'd let him go but according to reports we're offering him a new contract so, sure), Cahill, Terry, Baba, Mikel, Matic, RLC, Pedro, Kennedy, new striker. Then we still have Amelia, Blackman, Remy, Oscar, Ramires, Papy, Traore. 4-5 signings and we'd be right back in it. Problem is, can we keep our key players and bring in top players without CL football ? Disagree. Chelsea need: 2 fullbacks, 2 CBs, 2-3 CMs, one new striker, a better backup GK perhaps, and we might need at least one new AM/winger with might unfold with Hazard. so, it's essentially as Guardiola reportedly stated about CFC.

We're not going to sign 8 new players in one transfer window. Realistically, I'd be happy with 1 new fullback, 1 new CB and a new midfielder.

Yes, to be Barcelona/Real/Bayern, top-of-the-world level. I, personally, would be happy with level slightly below these 3, with the team who has potential to be THAT level in upcoming years (with young guys like Zouma, Courtois, Hazard and some other new youngsters etc.) In other words - let's first get a team which can win us a Premier League.

Whoever we sign this month, be it Pato, Bacca or someone else, i think it'd all be done without Hiddink's say so. Therefore i wouldnt be surprised if he has no knowledge of Marina speaking to Pato's agent. However I do think the club would block any Ramires exit and i can see the only departure being Bamford between now and deadline day tbh I think he may say only in which position we need to strengthen, but yes, not who to bring.

blues.bridge 343 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 so are we going to buy Pato, and maybe others? Well, what you think will change? exactly nothing, just onother wrong transfer, with a lost of money... stole a change at young! we miss a long term plan! a plan that goes over the coach, that keep in the time! i would say to stop with this useless transfers! so we will never been at level of barca, bayern or real! and this is a sin why we could be there!

Chelsea4 1,521 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 BVB are monitoring Ramires' bound until 2019 by the Blues. So a transfer should not be too cheap.(via @SPORT1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jernej93 569 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 We should have moved for Schneiderlin in the summer. We need defensive midfielder who can pass the ball to creative teammates and who can defend their asses when they are attacking. Something like Kante or Coquelin do for Leicester/Arsenal. Krychowiak is great and still young Highest rate of interceptions in all Europe quickpassnmove and Leif 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes yes yes. Would be nice but more likely we'd sell Ramires and gundogan goes to Liverpool and we end up buying another has been like Kaka.
