Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

Cabaye would make sense in a 4-3-3 especially considering he already has chemistry with Hazard, but Jose likes tall players in front of the defenders so I can't imagine anyone under 6 ft being bought to partner Ramires really.

We are approaching a period when I always wished time machines and power of hindsight were real and I could control the mind and thought process of decision makers at the club. Gundogan, reus,Vidal,Cavani, Alaba, marquinhos et al would have been bought at the right time and would all be wearing the blues uniform right now instead of . . . . . . only if wishes were horses. . . .

Completely agree.

Arsenal lacked steel in the middle when Song was there. Even Arteta has been better than Song in that holding position.

Arsenal had Cesc next to Song, while we have Rambo.

Thanks santa!

Can we please, please, PLEEEEEASE buy Suarez!?

Another hattrick today. We'd be utterly unstoppable with him. No way they sell him in January though.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Berba is unsettled at fulham.................Would blend in well with the likes of Hazard,Mata,Lamps.

You guys realize we won't be buying in Jan, right?

No-one connected with the club in any capacity knows what will happen.

No one in the club knows if we intend to buy any players in Jan? I'll be very worried about the club if that's the case..

No-one knows what the situation at this club will be come January, or what players will be available. Things can change very quickly especially on the last day of the window which is almost two months away.

So whilst there are provisional plans it's really bizarre for anyone to rule out a purchase altogether.

Since you all need a bit of spruce up, see above.

Jozy altidore sure did a good job winning long balls..

Dont know if JT and Cahill were just fatigued, but he was rather impressive yesterday...

[Namika 922]

I have a feeling we will sign Falcao.

[LegenTerry 265]

I have a feeling we will sign Falcao.

You have a wrong feeling

[Pizy 18,368]

I'd be absolutely delighted if we only signed one player and he was a top class CM. We can sustain a title challenge with our current crop of strikers if we just solidify the middle of the field.

Address the striker issue in the summer. Ba and Eto'o will be gone, possibly Torres too, Lukaku back, and we can hopefully add another.

[Mustafa 885]

We just need someone that will let our trio behind the striker have fun. Give them the ball frequently and can spread the play. At the same time he needs to be able to act as a shield for the defenders.

Thats the criteria. Any takers ?

yeah. i think the squad is stacked as it is. at most there'll be one signing - a CM with de Bruyne heading out

Yeah, we might get a CM if someone is available for cheap, like a stop gap till the summer, but I very much doubt we'll be making any big transfers in the winter. Our squad is stacked like you said, we do not have to pay those inflated Jan prices.
