Pacquiao 1,834 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 how about piazon and the new signing we send to vitesse(traore i think.)....piazon is turning quite a few heads over there...infact ppl are crying about the unfairness done to their league bcz of a player on loan!!! that must mean something and he looks like a mourinho player...I don't think we can read too much into Piazon's performances in Holland, it is a very weak league, Kdb was performing very well in a much tougher league last season, Piazon still has a lot to prove.

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Let's not stop piazon's progress. He has a brazilian level workrate and has a very good vision. I think he could be a fantastic player for us but he should not become our 5th AM cos he will suffer for games at his young age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korea 734 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 You are obsessed with center mids Korea lol. I can garuntee you that we will not be buying a center mid in this transfer window. I like your optimism though buddy!Love me them CMs..Also, Mourinho teams are all built on cms..People talk about Cristiano being the key to Madrid, but to me, Alonso was just as important as he was.

didierforever 7,349 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 if mata goes (37mil), the minimum i expect is shaw (25mil) and zouma (10mil). The only place to be and The Skipper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadavTKL 1,787 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 if mata goes (37mil), the minimum i expect is shaw (25mil) and zouma (10mil).The minimum i expect is a top striker. Zouma and Shaw are not that needed right now and wont help us so much this season. If we are going to let Mata go in January and we're staying with just 4 Am's (and with the big risk of it), i expect a striker to come as a solution to our biggest disadvantage. Someone who could really improve our chances of winning the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Mehdi Benatia is an absolute beast! A fucking rock at the back, that Benatia - Castan partnership is unplayable. I just hope Jose keeps tabs on them, Benatia is a must in the summer if he keeps playing like this. I'd definitely think about him (amongst others) when it comes to JT's replacement.

ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 This is what I reckon is happening, bear with... I think coming into this window and with the losses announced, Mourinho mandate for the window was "sell before you buy." I genuinely think Mourinho anticipated only Essien and De Bruyne leaving, therefore knowing he needed to bring in a midfielder as oppose to a striker [hence the 100% not a striker comment] when asked if we would sign one. Therefore, soon as he knew de bruyne leaving was likely, and the bids and enquiries started being received, he made the move to sign Guarin, even confirmed by Inter, Guarin's greediness scuppering the deal. Perhaps at this point things became obvious that Matic wanted to return to the Premier League and Chelsea, and knowing how much de bruyne was leaving for, we offered a lower sum knowing Matic would push for the deal, resulting in us signing him for 25m euros, barely anything more than De Bruyne went for. [give or take 3-4m.] Mourinho, knowing the £300m Adidas deal releases some extra funds to him in the summer maybe along with a decent budget off Roman, then declares that in the summer window we will make '3-4 clinical blockbuster signings' [may have been 2-3 forgotten.] This is why I believe he said he will wait until the summer to purchase a striker, because after selling De Bruyne, he has no funds and did not expect any further sales. So the strikers he wanted, examples Costa, Cavani, Falcao, Rooney etc were shotlisted for summer. However, now with Mata going [if true] and knowing the dissent it may cause among fans, he is worshipped after all, Mourinho knows the fans will want something in return to soften the blow, plus, he is £40m closer to being able to get one of these in now.I could be miles wrong, but I think the temptation to bring in one of these forwards, or even Luke Shaw, may prove too much. To clarify, IMO, De Bruyne sale paid for Matic, plus a few million which we knew wouldn't hurt FFP. Mata going pays for someone inwards, no idea who though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
