Special Juan 28,188 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 As the title says, is there one more big signing in us? Will it be Pogba now we more or less have the huge sum from the sale of Lukaku? Will we look to Cavani who sounds like he will leave PSG? Will we go for a cheaper option who would happily play second/third fiddle, someone like Bony, Remy or Lavezzi?Jose has spoken that after Didier arriving back he wanted to close the door, well now Lukaku's gone maybe its a chance for someone else to sneak in?Do we risk going with Drogba and Torres as back ups to Diego Costa or is that too risky and we go fishing more bait, are you happy with our options?Can we afford to go into another huge season with those two players as back up? Bearing in mind Drogba is getting on and Torres is making clearances off the line like JT, but at the other end.Has Jose got a headache now in what to do and has he finally seen enough of Torres to ship him out and fetch the final piece of the jigsaw to this great looking Chelsea side.It's all open for debate and there is plenty to talk about here, what are your thoughts and what would you like to see?Click here to view the article The only place to be 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucio 5,418 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 i think we need to sell (2 or 3 ???) to comply. before we can think about bringing in a non HG/U21.who to sacrifice? sadly the obvious candidates cling on like leeches.

Korea 734 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Cf....Loan for Remy or bring in Bony.I would personally gamble on a loan for Andy Carroll. Gomis would of been viable had he not went to swansea. In January, I think Chelsea needs to find a heir to JT in the mold of an experience defender.

LAM09 7,069 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 It all depends on who else we can get rid of. I think one more big signing at the very least. sdrcfc and Madmax 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! The Skipper 20,609 Posted July 30, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted July 30, 2014 We have to sell one more player, hopefully that is Torres. If so, hopefully we can bring in a great 2nd option up front. Barbara, Reddish-Blue, sdrcfc and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 If we get rid Torres I think we will bring in a good striker like Bony. Until then though no more as we have exceeded squad limit, Lukaku being sold doesn't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidzeret 2,257 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Risky going into the season with Costa, when-was-the-last-time-i-missed-a-sitter Torres and Drogba as our attacking force, especially since Drogba leaves for an entire month in January.But with the likes of Schurrle and potentially Bamford in the side, we could pretty much pull off the Premiership.And there's always the winter transfer window if it hit the fan.

Korea 734 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 ..the fuck..Ac holdup play is really good and his aerial ability is one of the best I've seen.In the right system, AC can flourish well and I think Chelsea might be the system for him, moreso than liverpool was.

Kieran. 6,317 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I don't think we need another midfielder, although I do think we need a striker like Remy or Benteke, with Torres as 4th choice. Fulham Broadway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmax 9,219 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Echo what others have said and what's the only logical move behind selling Lukaku - get shot of Torres and replace the Belgian with a technical striker to balance that position.

BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Singing another striker will help eliminate the doubt of whether we can win it with the 3 options available to us now or not. It won't surprise me if Jose sanctioned the sale of Lukaku just so he could get a chance to get rid of Torres and in return get a new striker. We look quite set in the other positions so our last possible signing could very well be a striker. However if we do not buy anyone now then maybe Jose wants to wait till January to see for another option as Drogba will be participating in the AFCON. Best scenario would be getting Cavani but lets see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 It's obvious Jose believes Zouma has enough quality for our squad this season so I doubt we would go in for a CB in this window, and I'm rather happy with that, Kurt is a great lad!As for midfield, it depends. I believe we should sell Mikel and push Van Ginkel and Romeu ahead. That leaves us with Matic, Fabregas, Ramires, Van Ginkel and Romeu which is enough depth even for 4-3-3 rather then 4-2-3-1. It would be lovely if we brought it someone like Vidal, a good all around hard working player with the right mentality, but I am not sure about how much is club ready to spend on a another big signing, especially considering we have 2 very talented players in Romeu and Van Ginkel who actually both impressed and are 22/21, which is also perfectly understandable.Striker is what worries me. It seems that in the last couple of years, it was always a striker on fire that was bringing titles to the clubs or giving their games that cutting edge. Ibra, Van Persie, Suarez, Aguero and the rest. Hopefully we can get that with Costa, but having 36year old Drogba and 55 30 year old Torres is really not an adequate backup option for a very intense long and hard season we have ahead, especially considering that it is expected of us to win silverware. It's not that our situation on this department is bad, but I can't say it's brilliant either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Andy Carroll ever ends up in a Chelsea shirt I'll shoot myself. I hope Jose recognizes that going into the season with Costa, Torres and Drogba as strikers isn't good enough imo. Its basically the same as last year but we have one genuine 20 goal a season striker. If Costa gets injured or doesn't adapt, then what? Throw Torres or a 36 year old in?? No fucking way man. I can see us getting another CF yet. Rambo, MrExcalibur100, Liquidator and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSG are not in the market for a keeper, Sirigu is the main man over there, no problems in that area. Monaco are the club who are looking for a keeper, they signed Victor Valdes but he failed the medical. MrExcalibur100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
