Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

[BloodIsBlue 291]

We shouldn't bother going for players who are impossible to have released, or require an extraordinary transfer fee or especially those that are injured. The one expected difficulty of the transfer should be a lot of competition for his signature, that's usually a decent indication of a high probability of satisfaction. Costa might be one of the more plausible targets as Atletico aren't afraid to sell and it might not require Courtois to be involved. But the truth is we don't really know exactly what the window will offer and we don't know what Mourinho will do with our players out on loan. At the moment there aren't too many players we should go in for 100%, Shaw is one of them but no other options mentioned here should really pressure us to go breaking the bank on a signing. We could gain a lot by taking a risk on our own boy Lukaku and some young competition like Alexandre Lacazette or Luis Muriel. If we keep going in the right tracks with a young talented team, and continue to get great young players than we could very well enter a new golden era in this club's progression.

How do you feel about a matic-witsel pivot?

They already played together for Benfica

I think Witsel played a lot more with Garcia then with Matic.

Matic only became a starter after both Witsel and Garcia left the club.

Willian, Torres, Marin, Moses out

Willian out!?

[Mufassir08 2,400]

The likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Inter Milan have all been credited with an interest in Firmino after watching him in action this season.(Sky Sports)

Possible competition for Oscar?

[quickpassnmove 924]

best summer window: one fullback, two center midfielders, one top striker, Mikel out, Luiz out, Moses out, Marin out. in a dream: Torres leaves

seems to me that Chelsea would have done better last summer buying two center midfielders, or 3 if Mikel were sold, also buying Yaromalenko instead of both Schuerrle and Willian. another fullback might have helped too. not sure if was possible to get a good CF last summer aside from maybe Cavani, but he's not the kind of powerful center forward I personally like for the position.

BTW, I am curious about Allan @Udinese. anyone here watched him much? Perhaps some of our resident Brazilians will know more about him. I find Allan a fascinating young player who hasn't caught much attention yet (but I would guess Juventus would take him in a second). Would be a good price for a guy who knows how to disrupt the opposition attack with his positioning and aggression. young, very affordable. Allan seems to be the kind of player that I love, but I haven't seen him play enough just yet. an all-around footballer with good mental upside.

ask someone who has seen him play more than me. I think he's an all-around center midfielder, but I don't know if he can pass like Gerrard or someone top-quality. but, he has played full-back and various midfield roles (like Gerrard). hoping someone here has watched him more. I'm going to watch more of Udinese when I can.
