And with Conte saying he doesnt want to do anything transfer wise till he yests Musonda/Kenedy that scares me too. If they couldnt cut it at clubs far off our standard then why will they now? Yes I was a fan of Kenedy pre season but to be 'disapointing' at Watford with 1 appearance then why on earth will he be great here overnight? He needs months of training to get back to top level. If Bats canntr make team afyer 6 months of daily drilling why does he deserve a place? And nobody wants us to sign big players more than me but I dont think Conte left to his wants would pay out big money on name players. That is if we could attract them yet. It might be easier come summer once Europe is hopefully in our future. I weant a few players. A RW (but can wait till summer with Pedro and Willian playing well) Id likk for Kroos,Griezman,Sanchez. Dybala A RWB to cover Moses A LWB for upgrade and Alonso for cover maybe Sidibe A CB upgrade for Cahill. This is going to be hard. With Happy waiting for time and Ake,Christensen coming back off loan plus I think Conte will buy new one in. It will mean big decisions. A CM. Nobody special. Maybe Veratti,Vidal or even Kessié or Bakayoko Even 3 of those and Europe would be Blue. There's no one that wants that marquee signing on the right-wing more but I can't see club ovetcomitting here. No doubt though that we will go all out at this in the summer. I don't know what they figure out now. Because we need more than 3 players there. We have internal option in Musonda so hopefully he stays. But he has to convince Conte. He has good work-rate and his talent is apparent so I'm quite positive. Kenedy is different. I can see him as liability as well as great there. But he has to sort his attitude. Honestly I hope we buy that LWB and that fella from Monaco can come in and cover for Moses as well as displace Alonso. It's no-brainer.

Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 No, seriously the wingback issue has to be addressed ASAP. I couldn't even celebrate Cahill goal too much when I saw Alonso down injured. Unionjack, Fernando, kellzfresh and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe 10,861 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 On 12/30/2016 at 11:51 PM, Thendo said: I think we really should sign an attacking player IF we dont keep Musonda around. One injury to Pedro, Hazard or Willian and we have no real backup/sub for that position at all. You can say that about any position in our team really. WB positions are far more pressing issues. If we bulk up those positions we can consider Moses backup to wingers, he can play either side, so a winger is not needed. No doubt with this transfer window and with the upcoming summer window we need to add players to every position, but wing-back is something where we literally have not one backup unless you consider Ivanovic and Aina sufficient (they are not).

Our squad is so thin now that we need players asap but you don't want to overcommit now and have tied hands in the summer. I always say that our biggest gap is our right-forward side. When we desperately lack in quality. Now we lack in bodies. 3 players for half a season? City have Navas, KDB, Sterling, Silva, Sane, Nolito, Gabriel Jesus. 7 players. Not to mention that Willian is absolutely hopeless at the moment even by his standards. Leaving us with Hazard and Pedro. Yet if we can't get James in January then what? I don't want average dude who come cheap. We can wait till the summer and go all out on Griezmann (if Atletico ban is lifted) and Alexis Sanchez (baby) but what with this season? It would be biggest robbery if we steal the title from City with that forward line comparing to them. LWB. We don't have anyone else. I doubt Kenedy will be around. I'd love if we buy Sidibe from Monaco. Guy can play on either side so we would have cover for right-side as well, which we also don't have BTW. Absolutely wasteful would be buying another centre-back. My option: Kessie + Sidibe + Musonda staying. Or James + Kessie/Badelj (cheap) and bring back Baba lastly Kenedy if he figures out his professional commitment. On bringing Baba back i agree with you. Alonso compared to Baba, the latter seems a better fit for a LWB. Baba seems faster than Alonso so he is able to track back as quickly as possible and also good at deliverying good crosses into the 18. So if no one is willing to sell i suggest we call him back till the seasons over . Now for Kessie he is good but we have too much young talent(out on loan) and it might cost us some experience levels as a team so for now we should be looking at a Vidal or Nainggolan type of player. I personnally would prefer a Nainggolan and Kante midfield partnerdhip. DAMN that will be the best ball winning midfield in all of europe. On Musonda he should stay. Can help in our FA cup matches. This coming summer chelsea must go all out on Griezmann. Then we can boast of one of the best attackers in Europe like MSN and BBC (on for the future) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the wes 7,212 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Antonio Conte is hoping to add new faces to his Chelsea squad in January but insists the club will only buy if the right players become available. Conte explained: "In January it is always difficult to buy great players because the other teams don't want to sell. To buy only to buy, I don't like. "Not closer, but we have some ideas about this. We are working around these ideas." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoyBlue96 990 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 IF Conte wants to go 3-5-2 next season or any season with 2 strikers...or just getting another striker in. Who do you guys think/hope we get? I fear that Griezmann as a possible target being pretty much ManUtd bound if you ask me. Not many other good, free options... And yes, in a 3-4-3/3-5-2 system, Baba should get a chance. the wes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
