Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

Well, we really dont need 4cb. only two play matches, 3rd comes when injury. Brana serves if both get injury, which is rare.

You're right, we don't really need another CB and if we do require additional cover next season, Tomas Kalas should be coming back from his successful loan spell at Vitesse.

We should focus more on our midfield & bringing in some proper wingers before we worry about our defence.

moses, johnson, hoilett? One would be fine but all? Common we are fighting for top table next season. They are good, but I think Kalou would play decently for Fulham...and we would go after him right? Top players are what we need. Likely to spend more on four players, than get moses, cabaye, johnson and hoilett. This is not fucking fulham, bolton or wigan...It is Chelsea and we need some good players. This moses and johnson are just interesting because we dont have them and they do good job among worst players in their mid table clubs. Yes one of them would be good ass key for rotation in our squad, but not all of them. Azpi, Lavezzi/hazard, Modric and Hoilett. If roman decides to spend more, get cavan or hulki and tiote or mvila.

maybe like that

----mvila/tiote------

---mata-modric----

hulk-danny-hazard

or

-------mvila/tiote------

-----mata-modric-----

danny-cavani-lavezzi

-----------Tiote--------------Romeu------

--------------------Kagawa-----------------

--Johnson---Torres/Sturridge-----Mata--

This lineup is about as reaslitic as any.

-------------M'villa----------Romeu-------

----------------------Mata-------------------

------Lavezzi-----Torres--------Hazard

Less realistic but these are the players we should be chasing

Than there's the dream/fantasy team

----------------Romeu---------------

---------Mata---------------Gotze----

----Lavezzi------Cavani------Hazard

Ivanovic has been used mostly as a RB, and tbh, I think he isn't as good as a CB as he is as a RB.

Actually I believe he is, is just that he played mostly as a CB here when all of our team was shaky in defense under Andre and he can't get back into the CB position right away and be brilliant. He would need a couple of games, but give him a chance now and he would do well, I'm 99% sure.

[Jase 43,479]

If Hutchinson can recover fully from his injury, then I don't think we would need another CB. And besides, we still have Bruma out on loan, that is if he wants to return.

IF wolves gets relegated we should nick some of their players for squad players, jarvis,fletcher,doyle,hennesey? they might come cheap...

Do we really want to have another Ben Haim, Steve Sidwell, Shaun Wright Phillips??!!!

This attitude is why our club will never be good with transfers. We'll let all the Demba Ba's and Papiss Cisse's of the world slip under our radar and spunk it all on Andriy Shevchenko and Fernando Torres.

No more 'top players', thanks. Let's buy them when they have potential and then turn them into top players.

What is wrong with that? Hazard is not top player to be correct, but he might become one, Hoilett would be free, Azpi is good for 12 mio and then comes another top player. Here I take Modric just to bust up torres form. Second option being cabaye, but the guy is more dm than creative player. same with martinez, mvila or tiote. Maybe witsel is more attackingly oriented, but not in playmaker way. What is not reasonable at this list of players? Modric 40, Hazard 40, Azpi 12 and hoilett free. that makes 92mio max. Sell few players an get 15-20 mio for them. Overall spending is then 72 mio. But I keep essien and mikel, if no dm comes. For 72 mio, that is very good option. Cheap for such players. Barca spend that just for ibra...

Cech

Brana-Luiz-Terry-Cole

Essien-Modric

Mata

Danny-Torres-Hazard

Azpi, Hoilett, KDB, Lukaku, Ramires, Romeu, Mikel, Bertrand, Lamps, Meireles, Turnbull

No need for RW, since Hazard can play on both

Means:

Essien-Romeu

Modric

Hazard-Danny-Mata

or

Mikel-Ramires

Modric

KDB-Torres-Mata

And add Hoilett, Lamps, Lukaku etc as backup...

well said. I have had it with some people disregarding Hoilett and Cabaye simply because they are not top expensive players. Well, guess what? they have been there and done that in the premier league unlike Hazard, Gotze and Willian

A lot of clubs are interested in Hazard, it will cost us upward of 40 million to get him. Azpilicueta is a good shout, he's the kind of player we need. Modric is too expensive, we'll need 50 million for him. Tiote and M'Vila would be excellent and fairly cheap. We need to spend no more than 30-45 million this summer or we'll be in trouble with UEFA. But the point I'm making is not about money, its that our club has always looked at players that aren't expensive and said "they must be crap or everyone will be trying to buy them for 30 million". There are many quality players that are cheap. Podolski, for example would have been an excellent signing for us but we let Arsenal get him. He can provide some width on the left and cover for Mata.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

You have right, but when will you know if such players will work out here? From top players, there is more money, but also more guarantee (count off torres, he was already having trouble, when we signed him). If cheaper players than I would go for this:

Azpi, Cabaye, Hoilet, Ayew and Belhanda. but here, you get what you see, no surprise inside really.

[MetsajCFC 1,255]

INS: Cheick Tioté, Demba Ba, Eden Hazard, César Azpilicueta, Hulk + use McEachran, Piazon, Courtois, Lukaku, De Bruyne

OUTS: Kalou, Malouda, Drogba, Essien, Bosingwa, Hilario, Benayoun, Meireles, Mikel, Ferreira

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Do we really want to have another Ben Haim, Steve Sidwell, Shaun Wright Phillips??!!!

Very unfair, Steven Fletcher is a very good player who seems to suffer from Cahill Syndrome. Just because he plays for a shit club does not make him a bad player, look at van Persie for instance.

[communicate 2,703]

For a big club like chelsea whose target is to win epl/ucl, you cannot just buy plenty of cheap player. If you do that, it means you are trying to be a middle tier club.

Player like demba ba/papis cisse is a big gamble. If you buy them to be part of your rotation then fine, if you want them to be your main guy then you are actually joking.

Arsenal has rvp, mu has rooney, Totehnham has adebayor, city has aguero.All of them are world class player, we need a player to be able to compete against them.
