didierforever 7,349 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 our squad is pretty much there and there abouts.GKs - cech , courtois, hilario (i am pretty sure that somehow he ll get an extension), blackmandef - JT, GC, DL, zouma, kalas, iva, azpi, AC, bert, pva, wallace, akeDM/CM - rambo, lamps, mikel, matic, romeu, mvg, josh, chalobahAM - oscar, hazard, willian, schurrle, salah, moses, piazon, traore, atsu, marin, kakuta, thorganST - lukaku, FT, etoo, BA, bamford (by the looks of it he might be as useful as some of the names of the list).a lot of "big" decisions to be made to jose and the board concerning the squad. the GK choice, contract extension to the 3 legends (JT, FL, AC), integration of youth etc etc. the only thing that is OBVIOUS is that we will buy a WC striker this summer.cavani should be it for me. dont care if its 60mil or 50mil. will be interesting to see who makes the grade and who does not.

Jype 6,398 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 The squad is two or three signings away from being completed, all that's left is getting a new left-back and a proper top class striker. Getting a new midfielder might be an option too but only if someone like Kroos, Pogba, Gündogan etc. was on the market and the money was there to be spent but that's not a priority IMO and we should do well with our current bunch too because we still have players like Van Ginkel and Romeu to come back. Expecting a lot of outgoing players because we sure as hell have a lot of deadwood out on loan and a couple first team players could use being replaced by some of the more successful loanees as well.

Romeu is not what we need at all. also he isnt really shining at Valencia. MVG is a young lad, who hasnt played a minute yet (or more or less nothing), and has still to prove everything after a serious injury. I wouldnt count on these both, especially as Mourinho says, that we are title contenders next year. I think signing a proper CM is as much a priority, as a CF and a LB Belgiannutt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get why so many people don't see a cm as a priority.Look at any top team in the world you'll see a dlp running around in their midfield.

I wouldnt count on these both, especially as Mourinho says, that we are title contenders next year. I think signing a proper CM is as much a priority, as a CF and a LBRomeu had a slow start to his Valencia loan but lately he's been one of their best players and has started nearly all of their games for the past couple of months. I agree that he's not exactly what we need but if he plays well for the rest of the season it might be enough for Mourinho to at least consider giving him Mikel's place in the squad and getting rid of the Nigerian.And yes, Van Ginkel's situation is very much unclear at the moment but he is close to making a return to full training and should have a good few months to impress Mourinho on the training field before the transfer window even opens. If he doesn't, then he could go on loan and enjoy a full season of regular first team football somewhere else before analyzing the situation again in 2015 but from what I've seen of this guy it would be a shame if he didn't get a chance next year.Getting another central midfielder would basically require selling both Mikel and Romeu, as well as deciding not to extend Lampard's contract. Personally I wouldn't mind that happening and having Matic / Ramires / MvG / 'new signing' as our options at CM would be amazing but I guess we'll just have to wait and see what Mourinho has in mind.

Well, we would have:MaticRamiresLampardMikelnew signing(dont count in MVG and Romeu). That would be 5 players for 2 positions. 4 are the minimum we need. I wouldnt say that it would be thaat much, especially considering Lampards age and the amount of games we have. futher there is a possibility of playing 4-3-3 maybe without Oscar too.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I dont see reason why some people are complaining about january bussiness...We brought Matic (finaly a very good DM for fair price), Salah and Zouma (future CB), while sold Mata (who was probably unhappy) and De Bruyne. Plus we made profit.The real win comes from fact that City didnt buy any player at all, despite Im certain they wanted to strenghten their defence. Arsenal only bought Kim, while they failed to buy a striker they wanted. United bought Mata for 40mio, but not what they realy need; CM and CB. Newcastle is weaker because Cabaye left. Spurs didnt sign anyone aswell. It was a good transfer window all in all. And in summer its 100%, we will sign striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
