A transfer market review.

[communicate 2,703]

I actually strongly disagree with most of your points. Besides at the current moment Wesley Sneijder is 27 not 29.

I don't think sneijder will fit the way we play. He is more suited to play as no 10 and we already have mata.

[Spike 12,049]

You could say why. That would start some kind of discussion. I won't be sad with you disagreeing lol, everybody has the right to think something from the other.

I will write a counter arguement soon. I'm tired right now. I was too tired before! I'm not sure whether to respond to this topic or just write an article.

[LondonPride1905 236]

Well it could be good if you respond. I would really appreciate it.

I don't think sneijder will fit the way we play. He is more suited to play as no 10 and we already have mata.

Gave him as an example tho. I completely forgot about Marek Hamsik, would is the only player I would really love us to sign as a CM.

I don't think Hutchinson can make it at RB, I mean just look at him, he looks like a younger Terry and Terry was never a RB.

Going players:

Drogba,Kalou,Meireles,Essien,Malouda,Bosingwa,Ferreira - I really don't know how much are we going to get for these lads probably not much given most of them are just running out of contracts, but something like 30mil~ mby ?

Players in:

1.HULK-30-35mil.

2.Hazard-35mil.

3.Modric- 30mil.~

4.Marin-8 mil.~

So +30m~ for going players and -100m~ for coming players.Overall of -70mil. For these lads i think its worth it.

Squad :

Defense: Ivanovic,Terry,Cahill,Luiz,Ash,Ryan,Hutchinson (and mby another RB).

MID: Pivot starters Modirc-Mikel (subs for them - Lampard,Josh,Romeu) in 4-3-3 Ramires can be added aswell as a starter.

Wingers:Hazard,Hulk (subs for them - Marin,Ramires)

CAM:Mata (subs KDB, Kakuta(I think he is misplaced at wings and this is his best position))

Strikers: Torres (subs Sturridge,Lukaku)

Pros:

1.Younger squad, replacing the vets.

2.Less wages.

3.More entertaining football.

4.Top 4 easy.

Cons:

1.Drogba- well obviously this guy is HUGE player and big lose for ChelseaFC.

2.The new players will need more time together.

3.We may not win any cup in the first season.

[LondonPride1905 236]

I really don't want us to buy some big star RB, seeing Todd Kane. The lad got some potential. At the same time, with our youth system.. I doubt we could get 30mil. for the going players. I also don't think Ramires should be a substitute. He has everything we need on fast counter attacks. We should rotate them. We'll see what happens, but I also want 1 - 2 classy signings so that we could kick-start everything again.

[RamiCFC9 258]

Its very complicated in 4-2-3-1 I think with better wingers Ramires will lose his place.In 4-3-3 Ramires can play at his best position in midfield but with wingers like Hazard, Hulk.Mata will be useless at wings.

[Kojo 4,676]

How about Davide Santon for the RB, looks miles ahead of Bosingwa already(not hating on the Boss) at the age of 21.

He can't defend, he has been really lucky in the past to of escaped cricism, lots of players have gotten past him but failed to score.

[Tricky 301]

Seems to me we need a full back, cm and a winger. Sure the signing of Marin and KDB provide us with additional width, but I'm not sure they are ready for the first team. And with a loos subtle 4-2-3-1 formation we could do with the additional AM/Winger in the squad.

Why the push for a new striker? We have Torres, Lukaka and Sturridge for the 1 vacant spot up front. If we sign an additional one Torres walks, he won't stay for a second year of sub appearances. Give him his chance, we need to show some faith in our existing squad.

[Spike 12,049]

Santon was decent for a while but he got skinned alive one match and cost Inter Milan the 3 points. Mou ripped into him after the match and Santon has never been the same. It doesn't help that most of his match experience is at LB.

spot on.

[LondonPride1905 236]

If we are able to sign Hulk, Hazard and an adequate CM it would be ideal for the next few years.

*Disclaimer* I have only been following football since january (i got fifa for christmas) but ive been watching Chelsea and this is what i would do if i was a coach assuming if we were in a 4-3-2-1

Striker: Torres, Sturridge, Lakaku. They all look pretty solid, and Sturridge scored several goals from the wing, just imagine if he was closer to goal. IF you had to buy somone, send lakuku on loan and buy a cheaper, tall, Striker like Ba, or Luuk De Jong.

Winger/AM: This is where i would spend all my money. The only player that I feel comfortable with starting is Mata. We have to invest in 2 first team options. Hazard/Hulk/Moura/Munian would all be great choices. i would also bring KDB and Kakuta to the first team to start rotating them in. I would rotate Hazard/Marin on LW, Hulk/Kakuta on RW, and Mata/KDB in AM. if Kakuta inst cutting it, you can use Ramires

Double Pivot:I do not understand why David Luiz isnt our first option at defensive midfield. I think he would not only be the best in the league but in the world. could contribute equally to defense then the attack. he would rotate with Mikel and Romeu. The other spot should be reserved for a deeplying playmaker. this is also where i would spend money. Somone who can set up torres to beat the defenders from the midfield (he needs a Xabi Alonso) Modric would be first choice, but Montinho, and Sahin look like good options as well. i would rotate Modric/lampard/KDB. Ramires could cover at the pivot if needed.

LB: Cole and Bertrand rotating.

CB:Terry, Cahill, Ivanovic, and Hutchison rotating. If we get slammed with injuries at this position Luiz could cover.

RB:Sign Danny Simpson on a free transfer and you buy

Cesar Azpilicueta. if you cant get him VDW. have Az/Danny rotate and if your desperate Cahil or Hutchison can cover.

GK:

Cech should is our first choice. definitely one of the best players on the roster. Keep loaning Curtois until he is ready to threaten Cech for the number one spot. Ross Turnball sucks. was terrib,e against blackburn and has over a million views on youtube for a mistake that cost a goal. maybe we should invest in veteran 2nd Choice GK? make Turnball third? i do not know.

And the man that makes the squad work and will give it depth will be ramires. if he isnt starting everygame he has to atleast be subbed on. he can make an immediate impact from the bench, all while providing cover for the RW,CM, and RB positions. will be very important to chelsea for years to come

IN:

Hazard

Hulk

Modric

Azpilicueta

Simpson

Out:

Moulouda

Ferreria

Drogba

Kalou

Bosingwa

Meireles

Essien

[sleazyB 58]

yes i would be spending 100m pounds but with sells and the CL money it should be alright. i mean Chelsea spent 90m last summer with no CL money

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

Leandro Damiao should be Drogbs replacement, for sure. Big target man with a bit of pace and trickery, could be a good investment. Plus we'd beat Spuds to him, great idea.

These are just wrong.

David Luiz is nowhere near disciplined enough to play DM and imo he's a great CB so why try fixing something that ain't broken? At right-back why get some second rate footballer like Danny Simpson to be first choice when we already have Ivanovic to play there and he's one of the best right-backs in the league? Of course we need a backup for him but would be very stupid to get two new right-backs as you suggested with Simpson / Azpilicueta.

What do you mean we didn't have CL money last year? We got almost as much as this year even though we were knocked out in the QFs. To get all of those players you mentioned it would cost a hell of a lot more than that 100 mil and there's absolutely no way we can sign all of Hazard, Hulk and Modric in just one transfer window. Maybe one of those if we are lucky and then some cheaper alternatives for the others.
