Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

I want more English players..

Josh McEachran not sure where his career is going with us anyways esp. when your having the likes of Fellaini, Benat, Capoue being linked up and Romeu and KdB back next season

[bushman 2,043]

Recently, Chelsea are linked up with so many players but none are coming in lately.

Taison decided to stay in that frozen Russia. So who is next to be signed ?

[Superblue 6,372]

Being linked today with Modric - would love him to come here finally. Especially if we got him for less than Real paid for him and what we offered Spurs 18 months ago. Would really rub it in Spurs faces!

[bushman 2,043]

I am not sure how much Real paid for Modric but we can safely say he is a flop there.

Should Chelsea pay let´s say 30m for someone who lost all his confidence, had not played much in 5 months ?

[BlueLyon 9,359]

I would take Modric for 15mio, thats enough for him now. Capoue is a mix of Mikel (strenght, tecnique) and Rambo (pace, hard work). Benat would be great at long balls and delivering ball to attacking mid. If Mata wouldnt play, he would be great in playmaker role, im sure. Kdb is very versatile and would offer options everywhere in midfield. Mikel and Romeu would have much harder time getting in team, as they are both DMs and I feel Capoue could play lot of games. Josh would exchange with Benat in CM and thats it. Chalobah has still long way to go, and Capoue can also play Cb very comfortably.

I want more English players..

It doesn't mean as much to me because I'm not English but I want the club do have a core of at least 5 or 6 English players. I think it gives clubs more of an identity when they have lots of players from their home nation.

Does it need to be English? Arsenal never had that when they went the season unbeaten. England is a pure, overrated footballing nation and i'd rather excellent players from across the world as opposed to average or good English players.

[The Skipper 20,609]

I'd take Modric for £20m+ in a heart beat. Pleaaaaaase make it happen!

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Benat and another good competent and clinical striker is needed in this window.

I didn't say it was realistic...

[communicate 2,703]

I think we need to realize that most players are overprice in january unless he has a reasonable release clause or out of contract. Buying overprice player can really hurt your team in long run. Obvious example: torres and andy caroll.

Chelsea Luk to Modric again

Chelsea will renew their attempts to land Croatian international Luka Modric, this time from Real Madrid, with the Blues set to tempt Los Blancos with a £22m bid for the struggling midfielder

Yes, I read it too. Luka for 22m was offered.

Not sure how much Real paid for him but at 22m it seems a bit too low for Real to accept.

[Marvin123 530]

Real only paid around 22m but the yset up a global partnership with Real Madrid as a club in the deal

[GermanBlue 82]

Modric would be a great surprise deal by the end of the window. I've read articles claiming he'd only come in summer if he comes though.
