Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

Is there a possibility of Witsel leaving Russia?

Can't see it will happen. Same for Halk. Gazprom is richest organization in country,so money not a issue. It wasn't just random buys, Zenit want to be bigger club, also have some hunger for CL. There were some bad stories just after tranfers of both. But now it looks like all sorts out.

The only way is maybe some Abramovich contacts, if we will have real desire to bring one of them to SB. And not to forget this players already have big contracts and will cost ton of money.

@luciobrazil his passing is not good enough for chelsea. he is not better than mikel or ramires in terms of passing. he is technically better and more mobile than mikel. he is a squad player, nothing more. also city, psg etc is just rumoured. nobody has said, that they really have interest in kondogbia. i konw a sevilla fan good, he also told me, that kondogbia is good, but nothing special. pogba is on another level.

wenger? oh yeah...what a reliable dude in terms of buying players who get titles for their teams.

[lucio 5,418]

he must be dating your sister or something. he is a great player. just leave it.

oh yeah, if someone hasnt got your opinion, thats because he has antipathy towards the player. good arguments. tbh i aint also a fan of John Terry, you know why

WE HAVE TO PLAY 4-3-3!

Top priorities are a Striker and a RW. Then it comes a CM and lastly a CB...

We dont need a DM until we try Chalobah and Romeu there!

I would say that Midfielder (either a dm or cm, maybe mix like Vidal/Strootman/Witsel) is extremely important, maybe even more than striker. We scored like 100+ goals in all comps, but many games we got totaly dominated, because of shit midfield. No agression, no ball control etc. Yesteday vs benfica we had no midfield realy.

1.) Proper midfielder. I dont know, we need creator and destructor. Vidal or Bender are bit of both, but who will pair them? Moutinho is much better at deep playmaking, but then we still lack good dm (mikel is bad, rambo has no control, romeu was injured). Perhaps even both, cm and dm or very good mould of both.

2.) Striker ala cavani

3.) Winger

4.) Cb

4:3:3 is ok, but will Mata realy play as winger?

Oscar-New dm-Rambo

Mata-Striker-Hazard

It could be, but I dont know...

I really like what @Bir_CFC did, it was much better than what I had previously posted!

Capoue or De Rossi for DM.

Like it, but with Moutinho around, Oscar wont be starter in cm for ages...

the actual prices might be higher (Moutinho 30mio, De rossi 25)

Also, I still dont see us go past Mancity or bayer with Mata, Hazard, Sanchez and Moutinho all around 1.70

Due to possible high prices of Moutiho because porto loves to rip clubs and Rossi because he is roma boy, I would go with Vidal-Strootman. Vidal is going to be expensive, around 30-40mio but Strootman should go for as little as 15mio. Vidal is energetic ball winner while Strootman is calm ball passer and very strong too. Underrated. His runs are very good (similar to toure who makes those power drives through midfield). He has stamina and vision. Young enough to match our young project while Vidal is experienced. This pair will guarantee possession but most important pressure on opponent that we realy lack in midfield.

Strootman 12mio£

Vidal 25mio£ + Marin/Torres/Essien

Sanchez/Farfan for 18-23mio£

Cavani 40mio£ or Rooney/Lewa for 25mio

Total of 100mio£

-------Cech-------

-Azpi-Iva-Luiz-Cole

--Strootman-Vidal--

Farfan-Mata-Hazard

-------Cavani------

If we are really going to spend big money on a ST, CM and DM

Says who? Mark my words, in this summer we are going to buy only two 'major' players (meaning players that could go straight into our starting XI). A winger who could cover at ST like Schurrle and a CM to play next to Mikel in the pivot.

What the fuck are you talking about? I was making a comparison in two possible situations, the one we would be buying expensive players and the one we wouldn't...

Besides, says who that we wont go big in the transfer window with Mourinho? You?

Wouldn't assume that we'll sign someone to play next to Mikel. Most players we've been linked too recently are DMs meaning he'd be the one replaced. And it depends, I could see us signing Rooney, De Rossi, Di Maria and Schurrle this summer. All fairly major signings which still wouldn't equate to 100m

You said that "we are really going to spend big money on a ST, CM and DM" which is just an unrealistic expectation. We can't make more than one or max two major signings in a window. Says the FFP.

The only player we have been reliably linked with is Schurrle and I'm pretty sure he's not a DM. You speak as if 100m is something you spend on groceries. 100m is more than our entire yearly income!

No I didn't, read it paying more attention...

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Read it, still sounds like you expect us to spend 70m on 3 players..
