Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

[didierforever 7,349]

we have mikel, why do we need KI? infact i would take tiote/schniederlin before KI. and KI seriously??? people are actually discussing the possibilty...

[Strike 7,217]

Ki might not be starting material for Chelsea, but as a squad player with our current options he would be.

I dont have anything against Shaw. I said Mourinho might not favor breaking the bank for him judging upon how hes playing our full backs right now...

I prefer Alaba, Marcelo, like you said attacking fullbacks, however, that doesnt mean Mourinho does as well...

Also, why not Michu?

you're biased mate. We don't need squad players. We have numbers in the CM position - Mikel Essien Ramires Lampard Oriol MvG and the youngsters at the club as well. We need someone in his prime because at the moment only Ramires has consistently performed in the CM position

[wilander 35]

One guy should leave - Essien

[wilander 35]

Gustavo cost Wolfsburg 14 million Euros or so, it was reported he had offers from English clubs, possibly from us as we were reported to have been interested, but he just did not want to gamble not being a definite starter or struggling to adapt to a new league which would cause him to lose his spot in Brazil's first 11.

We need someone in centre midfield in January, be it a CM/DM/B2B or whatever. it's a must.

Gustavo wants to play usual starter rather than bench player for securing his national squad in 2014 World Cup, no way to join Chelsea

[wilander 35]

I want Luiz to play DMC, L8 and Mikel both to be his substitute.

Essien should leave or retire.

surely he would be a regular starter here. he is way better than anything we already have.

The current DM situation is the perfect opportunity for Chalobah to break into the first team.My preferred dm options next season would be-

Ramires,(someone like Witsel,Pogba),MVG,Lampard and Chalobah.

Essien and Mikel have been great players for the club but I believe its time they move on and look for a club with regular first team opportunities.I'd still keep Lampard but offer him a lesser role like how Mikel is getting this season,if he does not wish to play so little then honestly I would not mind seeing him leave but my first preference would be for him to stay.IF he does leave then someone like Romeu or Josh should replace him.

Perfect if it's gonna work out that way...Youth, Experience, Creativity, Work-rate--Its gonna be a perfect pivot.

[Reddish-Blue 2,344]

We need a midfielder as soon as possible..

If Zouma wants to join us, that'd be a bonus for our defence

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

[Toli 977]

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.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

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.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

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.
