Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

so in fact we would lose 1 midfielder (mikel), we would have one, who is 1 year older than now (lampard), one great B2B (ramires) and maybe one good midfielder added. and futhermore a talent, who hasnt proven anyhting yet...sounds not so good, eh?

futhermore witsel is not really what we need. he is also kind of like a b2b, and we have one in Ramires. witsel is just physically stronger and has a better passing-game.

that sounds like just what we need tbh

I thnk that we need someone who can dictate the game from the deep. someone like alonso/modric. this type. Pogba shines at Juve because he has Pirlo to his side, who dictates the game for example. Witsel is not really someone who dictates the game. also he isnt really shining for Zenit at all. he stagnates in his development.

Well I don't want to get in the Witsel debate but I wanted to say in the last post was that we should only sign ONE class defensive midfielder(who ever it may be) and look to our own players for depth.

We need players who'll have an instant impact and that means shelling out at least 25m+(otherwise the club would have looked internally itself for solutions as we have loads of options). January will be a difficult period to get players so I'd rather wait another 6 months for better deals and perhaps more variety.There is no need for squad players.

The point that some of you are missing is the EVERY WINDOW is now a big transfer feeding frenzy. What do you think clubs like Monaco will be doing during and after the World Cup this summer?

You see a target who can be bought in January, you take him. Guarin is a good player. no one knows how a player will adapt to the Premier League, but Fredy is roughly the build of Dembele with a wicked long shot.

Guarin and Matic would be good January business if that's what is brewing (although I would prefer something like Matic and M. Diame). I doubt January is going to give Chelsea a top, big-impact striker unless Monaco agree to loan-out Falcao for some reason. The strikers at Chelsea are not great right now, but they are truly just part of a problem with this club's squad right now.

Anyone who is closely watching Caulker here? How is he doing this season? Would he fit us here as future CB or is he more like Cahill?

[BlueLyon 9,359]

LB:

Shaw/R.Rodriguez/Coentrao

CB: Mangala/Caulker/Godin/Benatia/Howedes/Zouma

CM: Witsel/Pogba/Vidal/Strootman/Bender/Gustavo/Song/Guarin

CF:

Rooney/Suarez/Falcao/Costa/keep Lukaku

Main players we should target in january/summer...

[quickpassnmove 924]

Guarin supposedly OTW to Chelsea at the beginning of January. I already liked this player, so it makes me happy to see this--hoping it will be finalized quickly.

Need to sign one more CM IMO, but this would be a good start to January.

i was suprised when avb sold caulker but kept players like kaboul in the squad... i have watched only a few cardiff match but he has not been a stand out player in any of the matches (hard to do that for a team like cardiff, no disrespect)...

Howdy pal,

it´s you here again.

Are Chelsea gonna go shopping soon ?

The next two weeks, Arsenal, Swansea, Liverpool & Southampton. Can Chelsea go through it with 10 or 12 points, then add a player or two into their roster ?

Perhaps, as our bombastic Jose said, the club is in " transition ? " Therefore, no players are going to be bought ?

He's got more potential than Cahill...but he's got too many connections with Tottenham, there's no way he'd join Chelsea

i honestly feel we can/will get about 9-12 points out these 4 games... which will be good enough i feel.

also what jose says has to be taken with a pinch of salt. he also said that it will be rooney or bust... we all know what happened there.

amyways, buying a new DM is a must. we are being linked with guarin and i honestly have no idea how he is. i would have prefered buying sven bender/witsel. but i feel its essential to buy a new DM otherwise, this up and down roller coaster of chelsea would continue...

Its not a transfer window without some Hulk rumors!

Chelsea on the verge of a deal to recruit Hulk (ESPN Brazil)

Chelsea to reignite their interest in Hulk as the striker is preparing to leave Zenit Saint Petersburg. (Izvestia- Russian Paper)

Its probably bs, but you think he can be our striker? he's in good form, 9 goals in 14 apps in Zenit.

I was expecting the Hulk rumours. Falaco and him are on on their way to Chelsea since 2010

I think he is a top player but not a center forward. He plays on the right wing in Zenit and in Selecao.

Well, I admire your optimism. I hope, you are onto something here.

Buying Ferdy is not buying a new DM, at least what I have read. He ain´t it. He likes to play centrally & likes to attack, I read.

As I know, Jose likes to play more defensively. So why not shore up the defense ? I had the opportunity to see Mangala & I tell ya, this kid is like a tree there, no one can move him.

I would have loved Hulk to come a few years ago, I honestly don't know how he is doing now?

He has been frozen for a year or so.

Have I got one for you to Google. Milan defender Andrea Ranocchia, see him. At 6.5 " a formidable tower right next to JT. Then Chelsea is well cemented & screw them all.

[The_Flash 1,144]

Looks not bad, 6ft 5, god he would an absolute giant against me I am only 5ft

to be honest, i dont think buyinh a CB will solve anything. we have 3 really good CBs. i seriously doubt mangala is better than DL and JT at least.

the problem is MID. for eg - we had the game totally in control against stoke for 42 mins and after they equalised, we just got outrun in the mid by nzonzi and ireland. we need to plug that DM gap first before moving onto the CB.
