Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

Should Lewa be available, I would say he is most important and top priority in summer. He will be FREE and there are not many strikers like him out there, or we would have to overpay.

Hes off to Bayern, hes had his heart set on going there for the last year now and he will definitely sign for them, I guarantee it. Why do people keep thinking we should go for him if hes 90% certain to agree a pre-contract???

Lewda is not an option.

HE's doing as much as possible via agent and PR people to say all those things to the public.

Cristiano also said all that bs as well, even when freaking his national teammates explicitly stated how he was going to move to Madrid......

Klopp stated that Lewda was gone to bayern as did a few others... If he really wasn't going to bayern, BVB would of sold him for a profit rather than lose him to a team outside the German league.....

Benzema not an option as well. RM have 1 CF and morata, who is definitely not ready to play vs the big teams.. (However, Suarez to madrid is somewhat possible).

But if Pep decides not to give him important role and play time, he might change his mind. Otherwise I agree with you.

dont think we ll buy any1 unless we offload a few first.

I don't necessarily think Lewa is Pep's ideal forward but hes a forward rated very highly by Bayern, which is why I reckon no matter who was in charge, he'd end up there. He was wanted there last summer, it didn't happen, it will happen now. Even if Pep doesn't necessarily want him, his signing strengthens Bayern while weakening their main rival.

Lampards presence is non existant i nthe middle of the the park. He needs to press higher with more ergency. Our midfield is being walked past!

ChelsTransferGossip ‏@ChelsTransfer1h

Jose Mourinho has asked #CFC to prioritize the recruitment of a top-class center forward in the January transfer window (via @DuncanCastles)

It's off he said that after saying we have good strikers after the game. If I'm honest we would have to remove Ba or Etoo

The Guardian are reporting a strong interest in Diego Costa, they say Mourinho is keen to sign him in January.

Ah, that explains it then.

Diego Costa is too expensive as a bet and not tested enough to be a big signing. I'm all for getting them before they cost 50m, so you gotta do that before they start scoring every weekend.

*If* we did got for him, it would then be a long-term deal. Eto is on a 1-year contract, and Ba will be gone (IMO) soon. Diego Costa would have time to get used to English football for next season. So, we'd have Torres, Lukaku and D. Costa next season. No, not sure D. Costa is good enough.

Another player I would have gone for is Shelvey. He was cheap and could provide a very good rotation option. He's got the right attitude and good technique. His over-aggressiveness can be tamed by the right manager (like Mourinho). He could do the job Meireles did for us.

[The_Flash 1,144]

I was just saying earlier Shelvey is not a bad wee player but I am not sure good enough to play for Chelsea, imagine having ibrahimovic, what a player. He speaks very highly of Jose in his autobiography

I'd rather see Chalobah or McEachran play...then pay 5 million for an average midfielder in Shelvey.

Do you really see Mourinho playing either any time soon?!

Haven't seen anything special from McEachran, and Chalobah is just too green at 18.

That's the amount of his release clause, how could they reject that?

The only one that could is Messi himself, that's BS and we won't never sign him

edit: too fast to answer, it's said that's Messi that rejected it but anyway, i'm sure it's untrue

[The_Flash 1,144]

Messi is a w******
