Chelsea still looking to strengthen squad, says Ron Gourlay

[The Mak 4,459]

A defensive midfielder and we're done!

[Pizy 18,846]

Shit, I'd even settle for Fellaini as a DM signing at this point.

He would offer us some steel in midfield and is capable in both defense and attack. Wouldn't be too expensive and he'd probably love to play with all of our other Belgians.

Plus, it would piss Moyes and the Manc's off. What better way for Martinez and Everton to get back at Moyes then selling one of their top targets to us!

[bushman 2,043]

Fellaini is going for 26m an overpriced dude in my view.

I'd say around £25m is fair for Fellaini. He's got the ability to terrorize teams right now and is a much better footballer than many people think.

He's obviously still a bit raw, but what better way to improve than to play under the best manager there is and with a bunch of players he's familiar with from the national team?

He'd fall in line with the type of player we've targeted over the last couple of years. Young and with huge potential. He's got the talent to be a top player.

Please, please, please, please, please!

yes please!

Not worth 25m, 18-20m tops.

I just think it would be pretty bad if City have Yaya & Fernandinho, United have Carrick & Fellaini, Spurs have Sandro, Capoue, Dembele, and Paulinho, while we have Ramires who wants to constantly bomb forward, a 35 year old Lamps who also wants to go forward and has been very poor the last few games, Mikel who simply isn't good enough, Essien who's past it, and MvG who's still a kid.

It's the most glaring weakness in the team and yet we don't even appear to be TRYING to strengthen there. Hope we get a nice surprise. All 3 of those midfields are capable of negating and containing all of our attacking midfielders. We have the weakest central midfield of all of the title contenders.

I just think Fellaini and Ramires would be a bad combination...

We missed out on Capoue for such a low price...I wouldn't mind Gonalons if we're looking at adding a DM.

Have you seen Frank playing, lately ?

I do not feel, Frank has been poor. Essien had not played yet, nothing to judge him on. MVG has done fairly well. He needs time.

[The Skipper 20,609]

Gonalons is such a player. Would love him.

Don't see us signing a DM though.

[Christo191 173]

I would love Gonalons too, but never gonna happen!

[Kojo 4,676]

Yes just please get a defensive midfielder.

He's not that good of a footballer, his first touch and ball control is very sloppy, he just manages to push people off him when they try to get round him. Only thing is that stuff only works a few times. I wouldn't say no to him in our team because we need a midfielder but I certainly wouldn't pay 25 million.

Frank played well against Hull but was awful against Villa and invisible against United. No way on earth should he be a first choice player still.

[Special Juan 28,088]

Ooooh excitement, I like this.

Since Jose gave him the chance in those games, I would rather rely on his judgment & you should too.

By the way, Frank will not be playing in every game.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Late swoop for De rossi or

i heard arsenal scouted cabaye for us

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

Probably more wingers/attacking midfielders...
