Chelsea Rumours ‏@ChelseaRumours

Azpilicueta and Moses are apparently almost done deals. Confirmation could well come before Monday. #CFC

Also RMC radio are reporting it now. Done deal.

[The Big Drog 1,110]

Terrific of true. Young, ambitious players who fit the model of what we are looking for. Practically everyone here wanted Azpilicueta before the window opened, getting him and Moses on top of Hazard, Marin and Oscar would just be such a mind blowing transfer window and great work from Roman and the board.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

All in all a good double deal. Azpilicueta and Moses. Hope we still go for Cavani though.

Like KOF said 18 mil or so for two very good squad players is excellent business by the club.

Andre ayew and his brother Jordan are the future of marseille with n'koulou. they are very good player. Jordan ayew is young but he will be better than Andre.

If you have a question about marseille or French ligue You can ask me.

N'Koulou is very good.

I think that some very good clubs are scouting him. If not this year, I think he will go in a big club next year.

Mapou and him are the two central defenders in ligue1 that big clubs will buy.

Capoue for me is the best defensive midfielder of ligue 1.

N'koulou Future great defender. For me In a big club he will be Better than Thiago Silva,Vidic,Sergio Ramos etc..

Capoue yes its the best with M'vila,Gonalons and Mavuba

Mapoue Future defender of France with Varane.

if this is true then its great news, to have a rb who is quality and young is good... I don't expect much first season, but having ivan there should be good for him, as it means he should get some game time and in a couple of seasons will hopefully be able to establish himself as our rb... Though after what has been said about Hulk deal being done which wasn't; the oscar deal that was off, and then was, i will wait for a bit more evidence before believing it...

[Zola kinda blue 89]

I agree Justin. Plus, I don't think he'll play often enough to be given the chance to develop. I think he and Ivanovic will share right-back responsibilities, in the same way Wayne Bridge and Cole alternated under Mourinho in 2006/07:

2006/07

Bridge - 32 (27+5 sub) appearances (22 (17+5 sub) in Premier League)

Cole - 41 (38+3 sub) appearances (23 (21+2 sub) in Premier League)

Both players were excellent that season, and a bit of competition will bring the best out of both. It was the same in 09/10 when Ancelotti threatened Ivanovic's place in the side by regularly starting Belletti.

I think this is an example of our new transfer policy,

We are trying to move away from paying big money on squad players.

Instead we are trying to buy players like Marin, Cesar and Moses cheaply on cheap wages for cheap fees

If they come good, they will be rewarded with bigger contracts.

Gone are the days where we would have 2 similar ability players on pretty much the same wages, but only one of them would be playing, the other would be sitting on the bench.

It makes perfect sense.

We make the odd exception for those considered exceptional talent\potential like Hazard and Oscar, but they will figure more in the first team anyway than the others I mentioned.

As we play 60 odd games, they will get a good few chances anyway but just not be considered first teamers like Ivan etc.

We are actually trying to plan for the future and save money and respect FPP IMO

The kids arent quite ready yet

Ivan is 28. Thats why we dont want Debuchy, who is 27. He would expect a starting place and a contract to match that of Ivan.

And we could be left in a situation where both leave at roughly the same time leaving us up a right back creek without a paddle!

I'm convinced that we just want a cheaper and younger understudy to Ivan to take over in a couple of years time, who then in turn hopefully will have Kane as his understudy

So I expect\hope Ivan > Cesar > Kane as the playing lineage

Hes joined us according to Twatter

Hes joined us according to Twatter

Neymar joined us according to twitter. Won't believe until credible sources confirm it, althought there's not much to be skeptical about, I think it could well be true.

you dont rate Mata as a hard worker.   He worked his balls off last year.   Check his stats for distance covered.

He sure did work hard in attack, but Im talking about returning back, Ayew is better at that (probably because of his stamina as he is african)

Lol! It's naive to think someone has more stamina than someone just because they're African.

Azpi and Moses , good players , but can Moses play on the right ?
