Strike 7,489 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Can see clubs circling around de Bruyne by January. Will be a great addition to most PL sides - even Man United. Even Demba Ba is a good addition to the midtable clubs. Anyone get the sinking feeling Chelsea will get another unreliable striker like Benzema?i do. it's the curse. Only Drogba has come good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 There is a lot of talk about Fabian Schar who could replace Hummels at bvb eventualy. Schar and Dragovic are two very promising CBs, both played for Basel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Forward in Jan? No chance unless we sell Ba and get another quick-fix like him (which would make no sense). If we wanted another striker in the team we would not have sent Lukaku on loan.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I can actually seeing us having a busy January, Mourinho is not known for hanging about when he see's need for improvement.If Dortmund exit the Champions League, it could be worth making a bid for Lewandowski, yes i know he will but cup tied for the CL, but who cares? The PL is the priority this season. DDA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 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??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korea 734 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I agree with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I agree with you.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.

robsblubot 3,595 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 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 Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Flash 1,144 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
