bushman 2,043 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Now, I read Chelsea on a January fire-sale of fringe players.Mata, BA, Cahill, KDB, Mikel & Bertrand were mentioned.Many of them are unsure over their places on the team, I read.Well, some of them just might be moved. However, new ones must be brought in, in my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Double post again, It appears we are very keen on a few players for the January transfer window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 As it is another rumor, I would not attribute much weight to it.However, some of them must be wondering how much longer they will just sit around though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 If things continue like they have been we can by pass January barring a complete huge bargain that is stupid to turn down. Torres keeps firing, the midfield looks good and defence we look like we can more than cope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkim2 73 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Don't understand Witsel fanboys around here. I mean, no offense but he is not WC midfielder some of guys are saying. Yes I have watched him playing recently on EL and CL. He is rather average. Playing for inferior Russian league lowered his ability to play at highest level. He looks handsome and has cool hairstyle but that's that. We don't need him. Especially at that price. This is his CL rating: 6.26 ! One of the lowest in all midfielders who participated in CL this season. I'd rather go for cheaper, more viable options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekin 835 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Is Witsel really the type of player we need right now?He is without doubt a highly talented player, but I would personally prefer a more aggressive, gritty player in his position. I personally love Ramires and do not want to see a replacement bought for him, so the question that remains is who would complement Ramires the most?Personally I would love to see Loftus-Cheek or Chalobah there in the future, but unless we manage to achieve well above general expectations this season I doubt the youngsters will see too much gametime. My personal favourite was Capoue (I'm still pissed that we went to Spurs), but I would not say no to Pogba/Vidal or a similar player.The question is, how many similar players are there that we could realistically get?Lars Bender is an option, wasnt there talk about Imbula aswell (altough Im not convinced he is the same type of player)?Personally I think that should we get a player like that, and say Luke Shaw, the club is set for a looong time.

I'd rather go for cheaper, more viable options.Despite most fellow countrymen claiming KDB was our most influential player during the WC qualifications, Witsel was by far our best player. He's a physical beast, but in contrast to Felliani for example his technical abilities are very good.A modern midfielder who can play anywhere in the centre of the pitch. I've never understood his Zenit move, even though they're a very decent team it shows lack of ambition. I'm convinced he can be a great asset to various topclubs and I would absolutely love having him here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By far the most technically astute central midfielders in the world. Best part is, if he plays the same role he plays for Belgium, he could easily slot in beside Ramires. We would have an absolutely dominating midfield. The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkim2 73 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Nope. I've been watching him playing CL and EL games. Against At Madrid, Liverpool, Malaga Looks like a solid player but no more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
