Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is planning bids for 26-year-old Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao, Porto winger James Rodriguez, 21, and 25-year-old Napoli forward Edinson Cavani.

All three in the same window? That would be f**king awesome...but I doubt Porto are gonna let go of James anytime soon.

Let's just get one of Falcao/Cavani and a proper DM/CM who can compete with Mikel, Rambo, Romeu.

[ChelseaKid10 35]

4-2-2-2 anyone ?

Cech

Ivanovic-Hummels-Terry-cole

Moutinho-Oscar

Mata-Hazard

Falcao-Cavani

That would be fucking sick....

Also if we got all three of them, a good CB to replace JT, a CM similar to Xavi Alonso and maybe a back up GK better than Shitbull, we'd have one of the top 5 squads in Europe no doubt. Just would need to get them all in the same team which would be a headache for whoevers in charge... but a very good headache knowing hes got at least 4 top quality CAMs and 2 class strikers, also Torres and Sturridge if they don't go....

Probably won't happen but imagine,

Midfield options of : Ramires, Mikel, Romeu, Lampard, new CM (regista) or Oscar..

Attacking midfield options of : Hazard, Mata, Oscar, James Rodriguez, Sturridge, Marin, Moses, Piazon.

Striker options of : Falcao, Cavani, Torres, Sturridge, Moses, Hazard (false 9)

Would be fucking insane....... the tactical flexibility and the unpredictability of the line ups we could put out would also be very very good. Could easily play 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, 4-1-2-1-2, 4-3-2-1, 4-4-2, 4-5-1, 4-6-0, 4-1-4-1, 4-2-2-2 with such additions to the squad and still be very very strong. Also could rotate our midfield and still be incredibly strong. Obviously this is basically fantasy right now but if this happens then I think everyone will be fucking delighted.

Alright, I would be lying saying I didnt go nuts when reading the article. However, we would fucking implode. 5 STRIKERS???

I want a CB (Hummels), DM (Vidal, De Rossi, Busquets), ST (Falcao, Cavani) and an All Around Attacker (Jovetic, James). Nothing more than that because we also need to integrate our youngsters.

I also want Luiz and Torres out.

Anyone still think RA is a cunt?

[TorontoChelsea 4,064]

Anyone still think RA is a cunt?

Yes. This exactly the problem. Chelsea almost every single year spend more than any other club and yet we still need to splash 100 million more on strikers (and an attacking midfielder. Why exactly do we need James Rodriguez?) Then, we need another midfielder and maybe a central defender so that will probably be another 50M pounds. We need a manager who has a consistent style and to bring players in who fit that style. Roman spending ridiculous amounts of money on players who may or may not fit in at Chelsea is why we're in the mess we're in. Roman thinks "hey, he's a great player, I don't care how much he costs, I'll buy him" and it produces historically horrible transfers. I don't want Chelsea always chasing big names every time something goes wrong. It makes our club a joke.

Since 2003, we've spent 527M pounds more than we've sold on transfers. We've spent more per season than ManU, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Spurs, Arsenal, Newcastle, Fulham. and Everton combined. So, let's go out and spend another 200M. That will make things better. How can we have pride when we win like that? It's like a super-heavy weight beating a flyweight and bragging about it. We spend more per season than most Premier League clubs have spent in the last decade.Yes, big clubs spend more. That's the way it's always been and that's the way it will always be, but this level of spending that Chelsea, City, and a few other teams do is new and so damaging to football and I want it to stop. After the first three seasons, our spending went down to normal levels which Chelsea should be able to maintain. You buy 2-3 players every year to revitalize your squad. That's what stability gets you. You shouldn't need anything more than that but Roman prefers his massive spending/firing managers strategy.

[Rmpr 8,977]

@TorontoChelsea, you do realise he wont do it and this is just so we have fun, dont you?

It is not easy to transform a historical average team into one of the biggest on Earth in less than one decade. It does not only take a lot of money but a lot of time and learning.

Roman is already being more careful with the money he spends and he is keen in finding the most desirable long term manager and helthy finances.

This:

Why all the hate towards Roman?

I mean, he has that fucking czar gene inside him but that is about it. He does a lot of good things for the club and all he does is being authoritarian.

Transfers: He does interfere in transfers issues, but he is more flexible than Levy and Perez, he listens and talks a lot with his managers at least.

Academy: It was sloppy at the begining and he did got involved more than the normal but now he is leaving it to the right staff.

Facilities/Marketing: He has put the right personel and (I guess) no one questions his immense help in this department.

Passion: Ask how any Loserpool or Manure fan feel about this.

Managers: I think he started great and after sacking Mourinho it went downhill. All his sacks until Carlo payed out, you can argue he only had to sack them because he made terrible choices (and I agree), but still. When Carlo came, he was supposed to be Mourinho 2. He was supposed to be our long term manager and drive the renovation, it did not work. It was a clear rift between them and, of course, he used his power to axe Ancelotti. This was his worse mistake as our owner (imo). In 2011, he saw the need for renovation and trusted the young and promissing AVB to do so. At one point he had to choose between the manager and the dressing room. He, once more, made the right choice and we all know what happened. 2012, this gets tricky. We dont know how RDM and Abramovich made their contract. I am not saying he did right in firing Di Matteo, but we cant judge. If Roman told he was going to sign RDM but he would have to constantly prove himself, Roberto would know a bad sequence would cost him the job. If (big if) those were really the terms, there was no bad treatment. It is still a very wrong decision, but not disrespectful.

Managers 2: Rafael Benitez is a fucking fat spanish waiter. He is the best possible choice right now, though. We will have to wait to judge him and our Russian Czar.

Managers 3: Overall I think it was not as bad or as disgraceful as a lot of fans think. It was certainly not great, but it was successful. We need to get some stability and I think we will...

In resume, he has been better than worse. He is the owner any team could wish for so suck it up and move on.

[The Skipper 20,609]

You lot are deluded if you even think in the slightest that we'll get all three in January, laughable.

[Beepu 1,714]

i wouldnt be surprised if roman spends big in january, but 2 big strikers??? as much as i want it to be true, its hard to believe. maybe 1 striker and a cm and a few lesser signings makes more sense

Torres has been linked as moving to Atletico

So essentially it's 2 extra strikers - isn't this what people were complaining about? Lack of depth?

Unfortunately, think it also spells the end of Studge or Lukaku - but having 4 strikers like the rest of the Big teams is certainly needed...

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

Its kind of depressing how much improvement our team still needs after spending such a hefty amount in the summer. I'm sure Roman would feel the same way.

In order to be, without a shadow of a doubt, a top 5 team (in the world) again, we need to buy in order to strengthen each area. Altogether I'm talking about 3-5 players. These players should be bought over 2 windows. No more, no less.

What we need:

•2 Strikers

•A World Class DM

•A solid (preferably world class) CB

•Perhaps another winger/attacking midfielder

The overall theme here is that we already have the young and fresh blood base. Players who have the potential to be World Class. Now what we need is the spine. The players who are already the finished product and will give us experience, guts and danger.

2 Strikers: Its been said a thousand times. So to sum up, new strikforce needed, either 2 of Falcao, Cavani, Lewandowski or Jovetic. Torres out. If Sturridge doesn't want to stay, get him out as well and bring back Lukaku.

New DM: Mikel is fine. However that's just it. He isn't better than Fine and I doubt he ever will be. He lacks Mobility and aggression. Sure he can still be a part of the club however he should more of a rotational player who will get his fair share of games.

I think De Rossi would be absolutely the perfect candidate here. Busquets is a long shot. M'Vila is an option however not the finished product and I have my doubts over how good he really is. We don't need to get a Deep Lying playmaker as KDB (especially) and McEachran can easily be just that.

New CB: Luiz is Luiz. His work is well documented. Cahill is good however I'm beginning to realise he won't develop into some classy defender. He is probably just a solid yet unspectacular 2nd choice CB. Here we need to go for Hummels or Subotic. Both would be available and attainable.

Winger/Midfielder: Sell Malouda and bring in someone. Willian would be perfect. However Walcott could be available. Hell, even Nani could be. What we need is more depth in order to win the title.

Brilliant post.

2 extra strikers, okay I can see the logic behind that especially if Torres leaves and Lukaku goes out on Liam again which I think is very likely, but Cavani AND Falcao? Come on...

[Mufassir08 2,400]

I am very sure we wont get both cavani and falcao it might be one of them but no way both of them.For me personally jovetic,huntelaar and a good competent Cb would be a very good january.Although james rodriguez is an interesting option i have not seem him play but have heard a lot about him and with our recent young attacker recruitment policy interest in rodriguez might be genuine.
