Essien19 1,415 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 WE need three fit strikers and Jose wont trust Solanke or BrownI don't want to slow down Bamford's development. In my point of view it's the hardest position to play.You have to cope with the pressure if things doesn't go your way, being mentally strong is fundamental.I would like to give him more time to develop. The most important thing for such a young guy is playing time to gain more experience.He hasn't even played one Premier-League game!How serious is Costa's injury? Will he miss 4 weeks or months? I don't know....Remy is injury prone, yeah i give you that, but at the moment he is fit.If we buy one more striker, i prefer an experienced one, we are good to go, except Costa is going to miss the first half of the season?Cuadrado can also play as a striker...

Sheva. 5,373 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 XI against lesser teams:Courtois; Ivan-Cahill-JT-Azpi; Cesc-Matic; *-Willian/Oscar-Hazard; CostaXI against tougher teams:Courtois; Ivan-Cahill-JT-Azpi; *-Matic-Cesc; *-Costa-Hazard- Someone needs to take Ramires' place as the 3rd CM. Obviously won't be a Pogba or Koke, but anyone capable of not looking out of place. A Remy-esque CM signing would be golden imo.- Starting quality RW. Not many options here, so I'm least optimistic about this position. If no one is signed, we have to hope for some miraculous Cuadrado improvement or something. Willian cannot fucking play every game in that position yet again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucio 5,418 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Mourinho says we want a defender , midfielder and striker. So I guess a rw is unlikely unless that counts as the midfielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jernej93 569 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tIFL2p1fJo Great words by Neville. We can actually add world class winger Bale for net worth around 10-20M if we sell players like Mikel, Ramires and Oscar. I am not sure about adding players like Douglas Costa, because we don't need squad players. We need some world class quality in front 3 attacking midfield positions and probably even in midfield because Fabregas seems lost in big games ... he is more nr.10 than holding midfielder Player like Naingollan, Gundogan, Vidal, Schneiderlin would be perfect Rather include some young players from loan and academy for rotation instead of buying average players We need some big quality this summer and this is it.What about striker and central defender? I wouldn't buy a new striker .. If we can get one experienced striker on loan for one year and than Bamford can take his place, this would be a nice move. Otherwise Solanke or Bamford as 3rd striker this year. And the same goes for central defender ... we would probably need some depth on CB position, but with Terry and Cahill probably playing 90% of all games it's not that urgent. I can't see Varane coming here and being fine with bench. IMO Tomaš Kalaš is great rotational player who can also play RB where we don't have real sub for Ivanović.

Viper22 2,418 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I know im quoting this late but only just seen this post.I don't see what the appeal of Butland is, he is crap and his reputation is solely built on the Olympics.Always rated Butland. Was gutted when he chose Stoke over us when he left Birmingham. He's the best young English GK around ATM. The only one anywhere near him is Bond. I personally think he's the best English GK that is gettable as Hart and Forster are settled at their clubs and any other good English GKs are starting at their respective clubs and are unlikely to want to move onto the bench, even if it is for Chelsea. Butland has never been even 2nd choice at Stoke though so pilfering him would essentially be upgrading him to 2nd choice and will give him the chance to maybe play in Europe and likely win a fair few medals in his career.

Theres a reason he has never even been second choice for Stoke and that is because he isn't very good, i saw a lot of Birmingham games with him there and he bordered on awful half the time, his shot stopping was horrendous i remember a game vs Boro in 12/13 when Birmingham won 3-2 and even Turnbull would have saved the two he let in. Im with you in the HG back up, but we need to be aiming for better than Butland imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is absolutely good enough for Chelsea. He played well in the world cup last year, I'm not sure how he did this year, but every time I've seen him play, whether with Bosnia or Roma he has impressed me. Not sure where he would play, but he's a very good player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy with Ruddy too. As long as they're HG though it should be fine, whoever it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
