Korea 734 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I read that Inter want Mikel too:Tancredi Palmeri @tancredipalmeri42mChelsea and Inter have met today in London, according to Sky Italy. Chelsea have asked Guarin, Inter interested in Obi Mikel and Ba Tancredi Palmeri @tancredipalmeri38mChelsea also asked Inter the terms to sign Ranocchia, according to Sky Italy, as backup in case of David Luiz leaving Tancredi Palmeri @tancredipalmeri36mI can confirm that there are concrete chances that David Luiz might leave for Barcelona I think we shouldn't let go Ba, Luiz or Mikel and we don't need Guarin and Ranocchia.Isnt this the douche that said Cavani was a Chelsea player.

Tomo 21,751 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 the worst thing now is, we cant buy a good DM who is not cup-tied in CL. (witsel/benders/pogba). The league is the most important thing in football and they can play that.Being cup tied isn't that big a deal in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah but it's better to get the CM in then risk losing out of them full stop just because we were a bit jittery on the cup tied thing. If it ultimately came down to an emergency in the CL for this season Luiz can play there (and that is ultimate emergency) and MVG should be back by then.

Pizy 18,896 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 the worst thing now is, we cant buy a good DM who is not cup-tied in CL. (witsel/benders/pogba).To be completely honest, personally, I'm not really that concerned about the Champions League this season. I'd much rather us get the top class DM and laser focus on the Prem. I think there are several teams in the CL that look a complete class above us and that we won't beat. The Premier League is there for the taking if we just improve in one or two areas.

ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Wouldn't bet on it, man.I'm certain of it. It's our weak link. Our midfield is slow, cumbersome and ineffective. Look at the other top sides in Europe and compare theirs to ours, it's beyond a joke.We have been linked with all sorts CM/DMs since October, it definitely gonna happen, Mourinho is not gonna pull the plug on it this time. quickpassnmove 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose insists on using a 35 year old as first choice. Can't see us spending on a huge signing at an inflated price now.The world class midfielder we need is almost certainly already at a CL club, so I doubt their club would sell.

I think Lampard is playing 3 games a week because from January on he's gonna be what he should have been from the start of the season, a bit part player, getting 20 minutes here and there behind the striker.

Reddish-Blue 2,504 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 If Inter are willing to sell Guarin, they can have Ba.i've always liked Guarin's energy and general ability...he could provide cover for Ramires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not of our standard.We need a Gündogan/Witsel/Bender type player. A world class or potentially world class player. Not Guarin. Gündogan's contract is nearly up and we should be offering the moon for him. Go in for him before Madrid or City do. Don't care if it's £35m, just fucking buy him and we'll have a world class midfielder locking down his position for years and years. der Kaiser, The Skipper, ChelseasMessiah and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
