We have sold Cuadrado in all but name. We won't ever be told the detailed reasons for a three-year loan agreement but it seems almost certain that it's to do with manipulating the accounts of one or both clubs. If that works for the money men then they know their business, let them get on with it.

Juan didn't want to play here, few of us wanted him to play here, Milan wanted him to play there, Juve got him. Almost everybody is happy. 

As for the other players, given that none of them has any prospect of a Chelsea career, there must be reasons why their latest move is another loan, not a sale. If the squad builders or  money men say this is the best way to go, who am I to argue. They know all the facts and I know none of them.

Terrible decisions by the so called money men end of.38 loaness  and most with no chance of Cfc football,verging on lol embarrissing.

Maybe we haven't done too much bussines in attacking department because we have players like Musonda, Boga, Abraham and Palmer out on loan?

Players like Pedro and Moses could easily be replaced by 2 od them next year

[Adnane 1,101]

Reckon Musonda and Christensen would normally be coming back to the first team next year, either that or they're getting the extra last year english loan to get into a premier league side experience, which many of our former bright prospects have failed right ? 

But these two are really promising, as for Abraham I would definitely loan him in the PL.

I don't like those loans to Premier league clubs. Look at Ake, he is probably their best defender and he is always benched just because every club tends to play their own players before loanees. I would rather bring him back and used him as a backup/3rd striker. In a system of 2 upfront he would get enough time to play and he would also learn from Costa and Michy. 

On the other hand I just don't see a reason why we would buy players like Griezmann? He is (second) striker and this is probably our strongest position - Costa in his prime (TOP8 strikers in the world), Michy and Traore as a very big potentials and Abraham in "the next big thing" role

FIFA imposes transfer ban on both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid for the next two windows.

Guess it means that Hazard, Costa and Griezmann are all staying put until 2018 at least ? 

If the price of keeping Hazard is not getting Griezmann then it's okay.

Hazard is way better player than Griezmann. I fear that if whenever we sell Hazard we'll waste 100m on Griezmann straight away. I hope that Costa-Griezmann is the only link in transfers and NOT Hazard-Griezmann.

Say bye bye trying to sign Griezmann and James next season 

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

I'm actually glad. We get to keep Costa and Hazard. Def would rather keep them than replace with Griezmann and James.

[LAM09 7,100]

I'm sure the bans for one or both of them will be halved meaning, they will be back in business next summer.

• Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is targeting an English defender
• The Blues need British players to meet Premier League regulations

It probably is, if he actually wanted those scrubs we could have got both of them easily this past transfer window.

Neymar turned down Manchester United and £650,000-a-week offer from Paris Saint-Germain, says Barcelona star's agent

http://talksport.com/football/neymar-turned-down-manchester-united-and-ps650000-week-offer-paris-saint-germain-says

Neymar’s agent has revealed the Barcelona star snubbed offers from Manchester Unitedand Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.

The Brazilian was linked with a move away from the Nou Camp before ending speculation over his future by signing a new long-term contract with the Spanish champions.

But Wagner Ribeiro, Neymar's representative, claims the 24-year-old could have earned far more money by leaving Barca.

According to Ribeiro, PSG's offer was worth an incredible £650,000-a-week, while United were also willing to pay a mega salary to lure the forward to Old Trafford.

"He was close to joining PSG," Ribeiro told Bate-Bola Debat. "He would have earned €40million-a-year net.

"Neymar was also close to a spell at Manchester United, but he extended his contract to earn less at Barcelona because he wanted to stay at Barcelona."

Martial on the bench in the Manchester derby. He hasn't been anywhere near the level of last season and this might be the turning point in his career under Mourinho. I wonder if we could make a cheeky bid for him in January?

Where do you  play him?? There's no way he would take hazard spot

As a striker in 3-5-2, 4-2-4, 4-4-2....the position where he belongs, alongside a more physical striker like Batshuayi or Costa. 3 top players for 2 positions, assuming that Conte would want to play with 2 strikers, would be ideal. Obviously if plan is 4-3-3 or 3-4-3, he isn't needed.

At Chelsea like they can pull the trigger and sell most of them at one go. But it's reasonable to keep them signed and offload at the peak of value and/or when you really need to. They get it better and spread those sells over multiple windows because if you do this at once you can see benefits at one year's accounting books only.
