Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

[Rom2013 446]

Maybe Bayern needs to change a lot of players and maybe we can get some good players there. I would take for example Gotze... From what I read I thik Bayern fans don't like him. In normal conditions he is not in the starting eleven and maybe he would like to join us. I don't know...

I would be really alert to what Bayern will do, maybe we can get some really good players for a fair prices.

@FabrizioRomano: Talks started btw Chelsea and Atlético Madrid: Mourinho wants Koke and Diego Godín too. Filipe Luis could return to Atleti #CFC (@DiMarzio)

[Namika 922]

Lots of rumors these days, looks like we'll do the business early like last year.

If we sell Luis, we would be left with only 5 defenders and I don't think Ivanovic will renew.

Just curious, why wouldn't Ivanovic renew? There's no reason to suggest that he wants to leave or Mourinho wants to dump him.

If we sign Diego Godin i think our PL record of conceding 15 goals in a season could be under threat.

We easily can afford 130m this summer

[Fernando 6,388]

Don't see going for Godin really. He is old, I thought we was going for younger players like Koke and Griezman?

[DanishBlue 426]

Mou did say that he wants experienced players this summer though.

Godin would be a great CB to have for a couple of years.

Yeah a lot of people really are getting too scared of FFP, if we wanted to, we could easily blow the bank, easy.

However, the club have been working very hard, especially since the Torres transfer to rid themselves of a free-spending side. The mood has changed where clubs no longer demand us to pay the transfer fee in cash all upfront and we've finally shed 'The Chelsea Price' which saw us spend 5-10M more on every transfer because clubs knew we could afford it. Our wage structureis top notch, and 100k/pw is no longer the norm for every player. And we no longer dole out heft bonuses for every little win in Europe/domestically.

Just browsing some English papers, what's with the hype surrounding Depay? He's a talent alright but he's being portrayed as better than Ronaldo at the same age etc which is just bollocks.

Suppose it's because it's United that got him?

tbf he is an amazing signing for them. One of the most complete wingers I have seen a player be at this age. Pace, power, strength, stamina, skills, dribbling, shooting. He is the most talented Dutch player of their next generation. LvG knows exactly how to utilise him to great effect. That being said I don't believe he will be the player to close the between us and them.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Depay might become a very good player, but he is yet to prove it at a much better league. Reminds you all about Van Ginkel, he is once one of the best prospect in Eredivise and Holland. And no, I don't think he will be better than Ronaldo. Ronaldo and Messi are on different universe. How many times we heard that this player the next Ronaldo, that player the next Messi, German Messi, Egyptian Messi? No one will even close.

we got no history's "conservative" estimates are sometimes way off.

i think last season they predicted that chelsea would get a profit of 20mil without luiz inclusion. they were way off the estimates. i would take that with a pinch of salt.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

If we're gonna sign another CB, if I may choose I will prefer Godin than Varane. Godin is more experienced and I don't think he will moan if being benched and also will cost much less than Varane. Godin and Terry against team with fast attackers. Cahill and Terry against slowly ones. Zouma to play in cup games.

Again, I think we should sign Varane only when JT has retired.
