Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

[lucio 5,418]

I'm racking my brains for any home-grown players outside of clubs like Liverpool, the Manchesters and the London clubs. They won't sell so no point discussing them. There really isn't many and those that are possible would cost a lot.

I think the club should take a long hard look at some of the promising players in the Championship. Will Hughes, for instance.

we were linked with a young winger from Birmingham, called Gray i think.

But i don't think these guys are better than our youth, bamford was CPOTY last year afterall

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

Imagine not signing a central midfielder.

The only mental breakdown I have yesterday was about our midfield. I really don't know how we can put Ramires just in there. We are going nuts. And last week we finished Porto game with Ramires and Mikel on the pitch. How is that even possible in 2015.

We need to buy, and maybe even more importantly - we need to sell. Our squad is character-wise destabilized.

Mikel needs to go big time

[the wes 7,212]

Buy Biglia and Wanyama. Not the greatest players but good enough to help salvage the situation. Chelsea's midfield is a joke. You could actually convince them to join as well.

Sell Mikel. Any player that isn't good enough to come in when their 'competition' is failing has no place in the team. His role as someone coming on to 'protect a lead' is pathetic.

Send RLC out on loan. He has no place here. Get as many minutes as possible somewhere else.

wanyama would fit into the chelsea squad like a glove

I was talking about those who regularly play in first XI.

That same Ramires who has just renewed his contract

It fucking baffles my brain why players like Mikel and Ramires are still around collecting wages at this club. But this is down to Mourinho, he likes his old pals act around him, his comfort players if you like, and one of the reasons we are going nowhere fast with him in charge.

The decks need clearing, but without JM around.

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

OUT IN JANAUARY:

Oscar

Ramires

Falcao

IN:

Pasalic

Griezmann

OUT IN SUMMER:

Hazard (possibly - the money may be needed to rebuild the squad; still not sure however)

Mikel

One of Remy or Costa - depending on the rest of DC's season.

Ivanovic - unless his form completely recovers

Fabregas

IN:

RLC fully takes Cesc's place

Reus (if Hazard is sold)

David Luiz or Axel Witsel, depending if we want a bench option for Matic or if we want somebody to play next to Matic.

Christensen

A senior striker to act as 3rd choice

An academy product to occupy the 2nd choice LW position.

Colkett to take next season's "RLC role"

--------------------

Jury's still out on Baba. I actually prefer Kenedy in that position from the little I've seen of him there; but I've certainly not made my mind up;

Leaving us with

Courtois

Azpi/Christensen Zouma/Cahill JT/Christensen Kenedy (Baba)/Azpi

Pasalic/RLC/Colks Matic/Witsel/Pasalic

Willian/Kenedy Hazard (Reus)/Musonda or Boga

Griezmann/Musonda Costa(Remy)/senior striker

Smaller games - Azpi and Kenedy fullbacks; whereas in harder games Christensen-Azpi can be used. Cahill-Christensen becomes the second choice CB pairing to Zouma and JT. Either we utilise Pasalic or we buy David Luiz back from PSG; that 13/14 pivot is just what we need right now.

Anyway, time to wake up I think!

Ramires just signed a new contract. He's here for the long run

Agree, that too, but I think that things I wrote are more important.

what's players do u think we should get rid off??

[El P. 1,354]

what's players do u think we should get rid off??

Oscar and either Costa or Fabregas, maybe both. Mikel, Falcao. Say goodbye to Ivanović when contract expires, or if he says that he wants to leave - sell.

what about Pedro?? He's been a huge let down so far

[El P. 1,354]

No, I don't think so. Not brilliant, but not bad, also. AND, he is here only for half a season. Not yet.
