Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

[Reddish-Blue 2,347]

No, that was Schweinsteiger. But yeah if BvB offered that amount I'm pretty sure we probably would've let him go but I sincerely doubt they actually did.

I reckon José wanted to take a look at De Bruyne this season...hence why he was sold in January...rather than the end of last season.

It's unfortunate that KdB is no longer a Chelsea player....best case scenario...we could have had:

LW: Hazard, Schurrle

RW: Willian, one of the on-loan players

CAM: Oscar, De Bruyne

Outs

Fernando Torres (?)

Demba Ba (?)

club will make a killing in saved wages and a bit more in transfer fees. think we'll have enough money to splash in the summer and comply with FFP

[teignman 441]

Inter Milan are ready to make a 20 million offer on Torres.

Oh please let it be true! Probably isn't, but a guy can dream, can't he.

Swap with Kovacic would be fine

lol who?!? Never seen him play

No no no, just no swap, no nothing, money for Torres, sign the papers, say good luck to him and that's it. Let's not complicate things, this is a once in a lifetime chance to sell him, just listen to what Inter has to say, agree with all they say and sell Torres.

Can anyone think of a Modric, Pirlo, Alonso type of player that is available ?

We really need one if we want to become a top team like Real or Bayern.

We need about 5-6 players to be even with Bayern...

This Bayern team and next year team might be the best team in the past decade or so.

I'm not convinced so much on Madrid though.

Kovacic is Inter's best prospect.

He wont go anything lower than 25m.

Not saying we buy 1 player and we'll suddenly be Bayern.

I meant that if we ever want to become as good as them then we'll have to (among other things\players) have that kind of player.

Well said, available...

There are some world-class players that would make a great partnership with Matic in the midfield, but I don't know how many of those would be available in the summer. Schweinsteiger ain't going anywhere, Fabregas, Vidal, Gundogan, Pogba and Verratti would cost a fortune. Hard to think we'll go for a top CM this summer given that there won't be many available and the prices will be huge.

I'd wait for Kroos though. Let's see what happens between him and Bayern and if they won't agree for a new contract then let's have a go at him. Modern midfielder, great passing, good vision, he's not afraid of shooting from distance. Seems the perfect replacement for Lamps.

[pWneR 230]

What about Pirlo, isn't he available for free in the summer? Yeah he's old, but if we don't manage to get a younger and better player he would be a nice stop gap, like Eto'o was this year.

[didierforever 7,349]

why a stopgap?

if we cant get vidal/pogba/kroos, then how about lars bender? good tackler, good passing range, drives the team forward, technically he is sound atleast better than rambo. so a 15-20mil would be good deal.

We need someone that compliments Matic, not someone who does more or less the same thing.

lars is far more a rambo type of player than a matic type.

[The Skipper 20,593]

lars is far more a rambo type of player than a matic type.

That's what I meant. We don't need him in the squad, he doesn't offer anything different. He won't compliment Matic just like Ramires really doesn't.

What do you think about Matic-Witsel?

[didierforever 7,349]

dude. Rambo-matic have not even started as a pivot but evwryone is already putting them down. Also people are doing so just cos they think that the pivot is creative enough which is exactly what lars gives along with his immense workrate and tackles. Technically he is an upgrade on rambo which solves our very so called problem with rambo-matic pivot.
