After today, i realize that Bernardo is a good player but i don't think he is worth being a record signing but thanks to China, Juventus, Man United, and Pogba for fucking up the market.

If it wasn't for China we wouldn't have got £60m for Oscar :)

I see suggestions that we won't buy another centre-back because we're set in this position. Fools. Centre-back will be one of the key positions to strengthen for Conte. I just don't see how it's supposed to work. 3 older guys in Cahill, David Luiz and Azpilicueta and 3 very young guys in Christensen, Ake and Zouma. We currently have average age of back three at 29, those 3 young guns are under 22 on average. You can't say that will work for Conte? Chelsea are sure to get one player between these two worlds and that's youngster who will be sacrificed. There's a case for anyone but Christensen is for me most likely to stay. There was already big offer for Ake and I see it's opportunity for player and the club if Ake won't be more than FA Cup deputy. But Zouma looks so suspicious and he has non-homegrown status against him which may or may not be important, it depends if Fabregas and Begovic move on alongside JT and be replaced by non-homegrowns. For me, Chelsea will look to make a room and/or money by moving on Ake/Zouma and buy mid 20's guy. Still think Koulibaly would be absolutely perfect and there are ramblings about Virgil Van Dijk as well. We can throw Romagnoli into discussion while doing a deal with Milan for Pasalic. Kostas Manolas can be cash cow for Roma in the summer as they have budget hole due to lack of Champions League this season (so transfer would need to happen before July to be recorded on current books). That's couple of options for something which IMO will happen and Chelsea will sign centre-back. 

 

Bonnucci might be available after this season and Conte knows him very well.He is used to Contes system and I am quite sure he will come to Chelsea if Bonucci really wants to leave

I think David Luiz already does Bonnucci's function, we don't really need another expensive and soft defender.

For me Romagnoli is my #1 choice for LCB position. Has great experience, left footed, strong, Italian(im very partial to italians). Knows the system and could grow with our team. Will be incredibly difficult to pry him away from AC however. A man can dream.

Other than being leftfooted I'm not seeing any advantages in him over Christensen. And he will cost a lot.

Transfer priorities:-

 1. Matic upgrade

 2. Moses upgrade

3. Pedro upgrade

4. Alonso upgrade

 

Totally agree with this tho not sell any of the above IF poss, but I think its very important to add Cahill upgrade

We severely lack any creativity in our CBs apart from Luiz and I really cant see either Ake nor Andreas making any major difference.

Luiz is our only CB thats got any comfort on the ball and I would like to see him take it out more instead of the big kick. We also lack anyone back there that gets any real air which is another problem.

Bonnucci would be great. Even at his age hes still got a good 3 or 5 years being pushed hard and we would get our money back plus some from China more than likely,

But Cahill needs upgrading ASAP. Unless of course we could just use him for corners and set pieces.

thats fair, it seems Conte values left footers on the left side but Christensen could absolutely play in that spot you're correct. I will change my statement to "If conte wants to purchase a new defender than Romagnoli would be my top choice for LCB"

Romagnoli said that he wants to be remembered as a AC Milan legend and that he plans to play for them for a long time,so I do not see him leaving Milan.

I didn't for a second think about Romagnoli as someone who stands against Christensen. Such a different players for different roles. I don't see Christensen fitting in that left side. Ok Cahill plays there for the moment but we want to replace him, right? On either side of the three you need all action guy, who likes combat challenge. Preferably he'd be left and right footed for respective side. At our level he needs to be comfortable with the ball. Romagnoli is just perfect player for that LCB, I kid you not, I can't think of any better for this particular role. He likes to challenge, likes to have many defensive actions per game, he's big, good on the ball, left-footed. On the other hand Christensen isn't the guy to perform many combative actions in a game. He's someone to read the game and adjust, bring calmness and be first distributor of the team. He's fitted to that central role in a three. I think if he wants guarantees over playing time next season, we need to push David Luiz out to the side and slot Christensen centrally. I don't think it's particularly great to do anything with David when he finally found his call in life though. Chelsea need to figure out how to keep Christensen happy with repeated reports that he wants guarantees over playing time and not break something that works. It's not easy but as I said, I don't see AC as starting LCB.

Want to see other views.

If we dont get another DM or CM to play alongside Kante, would you look forward to a Kante and Luiz partnership in DM that is if we manage to get a CB to play Luiz current position. I thought of it because Luiz has such vision and cofidence on the ball for a CB and compared to Matic might be a better option. Not to say we dont need Matic but next season with UEFA and all, I personally would like to see that partnership.

Liuz might be kind of like Nianggolan since he can hit the target far better than Matic and Kante combined. I think Luiz might even be better at DM than Pobga is since he know how to actually defend.

 

Courtois

Azpi/Backup(better than Zuoma)/Zuoma          Van Dijk/Christensen/Luiz      Romagnoli/Ake/Cahill

                              Moses/Rudiger                                                                                                                                    Ake/Ghoulam/Alonso                        

  Kante/Chalobah/?                     Luiz/Matic/Upgrade/Fabregas

                                                                          Pedro/Willian/?                                                    Hazard/Musonda/RLC?                                                                        

Costa/Lukaku/? 

Fantasy team. Realistically might not be possible. And I fear ourground development in the next year(2018) might hold Roman back abit.

Share your fantasy team and thoughs
