Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

If David Luiz goes, I'd like to see us bring in a CB. Terry and Cahill are fantastic first-choices, but other than that we only have Zouma/Kalas and perhaps Ivanovic.

I don't think it'll be a CB myself. Terry, Cahill, Zouma, Ivanovic can play there with Azpi going right bk. Wouldn't surprise me to see the Luiz money reinvested into a CM. I remember Mourinho saying we will sign a couple of clinical players to improve the team immediately and after that if someone goes, someone will come in. So I'm guessing Luiz, and Cole both need replacing on top of the "clinical" buys he already wanted

Here's another example of the type of player Chelsea should consider (I'm NOT suggesting that he's DEFINITELY a good buy, nor the next big thing) before he goes to a big club or another PL club: Victor Ibarbo @ Cagliari Calcio and the Colombian national team. 188 cm with excellent touch, all kinds of skill. Ibarbo might be an excellent addition despite scoring few goals in Serie A. Cagliari have struggled terribly in Serie A. I don't see any reason why Chelsea always need to be the club that buys a big name striker from another big club for big money every year or two. Could have had Bony last summer and he would have helped greatly during the season wherein strikers did not do enough for Chelsea (of course, I blame the center midfield too).

Albrighton did really well around 2007 I think it was. Really showed promise with pace and particularly his crossing ability.. Don't really know how they've managed to mess him up at Aston Villa, but we'd be doing more damage to him.

Maybe West Ham or QPR will pick him up

[Muzchap 8,966]

Are we being linked to Stones?

Could be useful if Lukaku stays there and we get him? But I had hoped Azpi to RB and a new LB?

Anyway so much bullshit speculation - if we get half of the rumours I will be happy

I wonder what the situation is with Zenit and FFP (considering they were one of the clubs punished). Mourinho was interested in Witsel when he was at Madrid, would love him here now.

They've just signed Garay from Benfica.

I'd like to see this but,

Cech and Courtois are not gonna be at this club together, which means I'd keep 1 and also keep Schwarzer.

Also I'd keep Bertrand as 2nd LB option.

And I'll give mister Lamps a coaching role of some sort.

[Namika 922]

If we bid something around 50M for Koke, he will come, Atletico need the money.

cech and courtois can very easily do a lopez-casillas for us.

i myself really like bertrand but he has already said that he wants first team action.

hopefully we can sign Koke, think there would be a good balance with him alongside Matic, I'd even have him as a right midfielder over what we have. Be good to have someone who can cross and give us some creativity from a central midfield.

Pogba would also be a great signing, I fear we'll end up with Paulinho though

Mourinho must be laughing to the bank if this goes through. 50million for above average defender lol

Over Piazon or Atsu?

Over Piazon or Atsu?

For homegrown reasons. Atsu is not homegrown and the 6th AM spot will go to a HG player. Piazon will be counted as u-21 but would u really want him to be here a whole season as the 6th AM. Look at KDB. he barely got any minutes. Dont think piazon would get any too. Better would be a PL loan.

The home grown rule is you cannot have more than 17 non homegrown players on your squad, but players under 21 do not count toward your 25 man squad limit. Those under 21 players don't get registered in the 25 man squad list they get registered in a second under 21 eligible squad list (that doesn't have a limit).

I know dude. I have taken it into account and kept a leeway for one spot (16non Hgplayers).

Who do you guys think is next? Not including loanees...

I would put my money on either Oscar/Hazard.
