Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

[English Freak 456]

Why are we being linked with so many second rate players ? Sneijder (great but possibly past his best), Dzeko (City flop) , Jovetic etc ....

How is Jovetic a second rate player? He's top-class...but I don't think Chelsea needs a second-striker/AM.

Would be quite ridiculous if we actually go for matic, especially for 30m.

Would not mind de rossi and mangala though. Still not convinced about schurrle

[Hutcho 8,443]

Would Love Gundogen or modric.

[English Freak 456]

Adebayor?

City wanted to get rid of Adebayor for 2 years..that's why they sent him on loan to Madrid..and then on loan again to Spurs

As for Dzeko...I'd be surprised if Pellegrini sells him.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Imagine

Gundogen De rossi

Oscar/Schurlle Mata Hazard

Lukaku

Would be a beasty team, even with Oscar on the right. With Lamps, Rambo as supersubs.

[Rmpr 8,977]

All I would do is buy Cavani, Di Maria, De Rossi and Backup GK. Then I would sell Torres, Marin and Mikel. And lastly recall Lukaku, KDB and Chalobah!

Shiiiiit navas is going to city

Bit slow there pal.

Anyway, what is all the mentioning of Matic. Is he really any good now?

I haven't seen much of him, but I thought he was decent but not great in the Europa final and similar when he was with us.

If we were talking £15m then I wouldn't mind but £30m sounds stupid. We wouldn't be far out being able to sign Marchisio or Gundogan for that amount who are both far better players.

For a start I don't think Matic would be any better than Romeu, and secondly we have a lot of young talent coming through, alongside Ramires and Mikel in their mid twenties. I would like someone in their late 20's who is perhaps in the prime of their career and can offer some experience behind our young, dynamic attack.

Fernandinho or De Rossi would be my choice if possible for a midfield enforcer.

According to MARCA, Mourinho wants to sell Torres...and...wait for it...MATA

I'm tired of these bullshit rumours.

This one is a bit of a long shot - Seamus Coleman, Everton (right back) have liked what I have seen from him at Everton this season great going forward and I remember him making a great last ditch tackle on Torres at the Bridge which stopped a certain goal , Dave has not convinced me as yet ,but next season will be the one we can judge him on fully.

wtf are you saying? Azpi was really good this season...

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Let me ave you the trouble of reading the papers and checking Twitter:

Basically we are linked with every player who's ever played under Jose as well as every player trending in Europe atm. While every single one of our players is linked with a move to Barca, Monaco, or Galatasaray.

Sounds legit...

I reckon this is my favoured "In-Out" activity for this summer...

Out

Moses (Loan)

Torres (£20m)*

Essien (£7m)

Marin (£2m)

Mikel (£10m)

Courtois (Loan back to Atletico)

McEachran (Loan to a Premier League club)

Benayoun (£1m)

In

Cavani (£34m)*

Fernandinho (£24m)

Mangala (£8m)

A new backup keeper

Lukaku (Loan Return)

I honestly don't feel we should make "wholesale" changes to the squad. Getting a world class striker is an absolute MUST! I don't care how much he's worth, bring Cavani in for £34m plus Torres... I reckon that makes sense!! I reckon a new centreback with pace is needed! Mangala is a good option... I can see him and Cahill forming a mouthwatering partnership together at the back.. they can both emulate the days of Terry and Carvalho during Mourinho's first stint as manager.. with Cahill's no-nonsense tackling, and Mangala's pace to get the ball forward. Put David Luiz in a DM role alongside Fernandinho, who's just immense for Shakhtar, and tore us apart at the Bridge when we played them in the Champions League last year!

Lukaku should return from his loan at WBA, and he can rotate with Cavani as lone striker for matches... McEachran should go out on loan again to a different club.. preferably in the Premier League because I don't think any of our loanees learn anything when they get loaned to the championship! I think maybe a move to Southampton for McEachran would be ideal because their club have an amazing youth academy, and know how to bring up young talent!

I think Moses should also go out on loan, because no way am I a fan with his style of play... he just doesn't have a football brain at all! He loses the ball too easily, which makes his decision making non-existant. When Hazard plays, the ball gets stuck to him whether he's running fast or going slowly.. Moses is nowhere near that quality!

As for Marin and Benayoun... I don't feel they're quality! Marin has excuses because his career at Chelsea has been injury stricken, and has had trouble shifting the "three amigos"... so, another "Zhirkov" type aquisition! Benayoun on the other hand, is just... well... cack!

Essien and Mikel both need to go as well, because their good days have gone now, and need to be sold to reduce the wage bill!

Also, a backup keeper is needed, now that Hilario is leaving in the summer... surely we can't have just Turnbull as the alternative if Cech for any reason gets an injury! I would have said "bring back Courtois", but at the moment, he's far too good to be considered a "backup"... he should go back to Atletico on loan for another season. I mean, even if we snap up a keeper like Robert Green from QPR (yes, uncanny name, I know), but it's not bad for a backup keeper. Begovic from Stoke is another decent option, but like Courtois, he's far too good to be second choice, and I don't even think we're favourites for his signature anyway... Man United will probably get him.

This is what my Chelsea team would look like for the 2013-14 season then:

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention... David Luiz to be our long-term future captain after Terry and Lampard have left at the end of the season....

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

In: Schurrle, Lewandowski, Cavani, Khedira, De Rossi, Coentrao, Varane, Mangala, Modric, Di Maria, Ronaldo, Higuain, Diego Lopez, Sneijder, Jovetic, Dzeko, Hulk, Bony, Fellaini, Rooney, Fernandinho... well at least according to the media

[Barbara 15,149]

hi there Lucio

I guess I'm the only CFC fan that doesn't want Essien to be offloaded. I really like Michael and I honestly think he can be useful

It seems like you guys don't like Ramires much as everyone of you is dismissing him from DM

And I'd be willing to do whatever just so Ryan Bertrand never wore a Chelsea shirt in his life again. Definitely not the level of player we need at the Bridge.

In addition to having Lukaku coming back from loan, I also want KDB. My preferred FW would be Lewandowski but as he seems far-fetched now, I'd settle for Cavani...

But here goes my list

Out

Bertrand

Mikel

Benayoun

Torres

Ba

Moses

Marin

In

Lewandowski

Higuain

Baines or Lahm

Cavani

KDB

Lukaku

Mangala

De Rossi

[klopfzeichen 78]

It is my opinion that we don't need a new defender, the defense is great the way it is now. What we need is a deep lying playmaker a la Xavi Alonso or Pirlo and a capable striker.

I'm glad that we are linked with the likes of Fernandinho and De Rossi. Even though they're not DLPs per se, they are great CMs and they could form and excellent partnership in midfield.

That capable striker I talk about could easily be Lukaku. I believe in the guy and I think he could develop into an amazing force under the guidance of Jose.
