Who's the player leaving Chelsea for Besiktas?

[Heisenberg 1,824]

Hazard, he will join his friend Demba and they'll both drink shrewsbury syrup.

Fabregas

Good call, wouldn't be surprised after Phil Neville said he was our weak link.

Seriously, how in the world is that guy a pundit?

I watched him 'analyzing' Liverpool and I think I know less now than before I watched!

My bet is that Gary's mother told him that he's not allowed to go do punditry unless he takes his brother with him...

Salah

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Do we need to replace him it isn't like he's been an integral part of the team. May as well promote youth.

As much as I would love to see that, it is easier to say than done imo. That's huge thing we're asking. Yes, Salah's role has not been important until now, but he is still our 5th best AM at the moment, and it's crucial, as we compete until the last stage in 4 competition.

I'm still thinking that is not the most clever thing to do, to not find his proper replacement. Still think Jose will sign someone better than him, if Salah actually gone for good. That or Salah is not going anywhere imo. Salah will not go to AFCON, in boxing day period we still need him.

Actually, I have a feeling nobody going out and going in at January. We will do the business with Besiktas later in the summer.

Also, I have a question, why anyone think we have to get rid Salah in the first place? Because he is not good enough? What makes you think that any of our youngsters could do better than Salah? It's risky, and I believe we will not let him leave, unless we have a better replacement.

looks like its Kurt Zouma on a loan deal

[Thendo 1,088]

It would be mad to loan Zouma to Besiktas without bringing back another cb from loan or buying a new one. One or two injuries and we would be in serious trouble.

i agree mate

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

According to reports in Turkey, a Kurt Zouma loan to Besiktas is all but agreed and is set to be announced soon. #CFC

Kalas

[nyikolajevics 2,690]

Mikel won't leave us, deal with it.

Could be Salah or any youngster.

[Viper22 2,418]

Zouma being loaned to Besiktas would be an incredibly strange move. He's our 3rd choice CB and has been getting some decent minutes this season so far. So either:

1) We're loaning him outand recalling Kalas from his loan (he's getting no minutes at Koln after all).

2) We're loaning him to make room for another CB that we're signing but then what does that mean for Kalas/Christensen and even Zouma himself? Surely wait til JT retires to sign another CB.

3) We're loaning him and having just Ivanovic and Christensen as replacement CBs but then that's suicide. We'll only have 5 senior defenders and will be 1/2 injuries from complete crisis like someone else mentioned.

1 would be fine in my mind, giving each of our young(ish) CBs a chance at the club being 3rd choice CB and would solve the problem of Kalas not being played at Koln and would invariably give Zouma some more minutes, albeit in a weaker league. 2 I wouldn't be keen on as it would likely mean the end of Kalas and I still rate him highly. 3 would be mental; I really doubt Mourinho would do this.

Option 1 sounds good to me, everybody wins

Kalas

Kalas ain't good enough for a German team then he ain't good enough for us.

So stop wasting your time thinking that we will be using a lot of young players.

We will continue to buy ready made players for the foreseeable future.
