Rumoured Charles Aranguiz

[Despiadado.Maleante 1,046]

Seems to fit more in the ramires mould with a brain however.

If only Ramires would actually be sold..

[LukakutoStamford 779]

Who said stand still? Who said don't sign anyone?

Signing back-ups isn't exactly making moves. Despite winning the PL this team is flawed and needs investment in starters at RW along with future starters at other positions. Chelsea was fortunate with injuries last season; however if there's less luck w/injuries, Chelsea could be in a lot of trouble

We'll let José decide what we need shall we [emoji106]

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

Honestly don't understand some of you lot. We are champions,CHAMPIONS!!! We do not need massive investment,just to strengthen in a few positions and bring maybe some loanies back. Why would you expect that we would make massive moves for players we don't necessarily need. Utd/city/arsenal need to make big investment because they were so far off the pace last season but we have a super first 11 that only needs squad players brought in and possibly one biggish signing if even that. PLUS we on here have zero idea what is going on on the background and who has been identified for signing yet half of you get your knickers in a twist when players you think we might be after/have spurious links to go elsewhere. Relax people, it'll be ok. Ffs some idiot on here earlier complained about signing this guy for 15 mill AND THEN SAID HE'D NEVER SEEN HIM PLAY .....[emoji33]

Barca won a treble and sign Turan, Vidal and possibly pogba. The way to maintain the status quo is by strengthening. You don't wait for your opponents to catch up before you strengthen. We need one biggish signing to go along with these squad players.

Always liked him tbh.

[King11Didier 916]

No, thanks. I'd much prefer to give more chances to MvG.

[illmatic 901]

I have read a lot of comments thinking in that he is a Mikel Replacement.... This guy is not a defensive midfielder. I see him being a back up of Cesc, even, they can play together. Charles is a guy that can clarify a lot the game from the midfield, a great conexion between defence and attack midfielders, allowing to Cesc play more advanced without the team lose game and that "First pass" in the double pivot as occur when plays Rambo.

My doubts like I said is, his price, 15M is a lot money, and that he doesn't have experience in Europe, but, if he can be here, that he is on his national team, would be a fantastic signing.

My only concern atm would be that if we dont bring any quality player for CB/fullback/RW/midfield and squad options for certain players, we might have big problems next summer when we will need to find Terry/Iva replacements, better player for RW, backup for Cesc, backup for Matic, potentialy new #10 if Oscar underperforms etc...

I dont care if we dont bring any revolutionary players here, but for example selling Rambo and Mikel, and bringing Moutinho and Witsel (or similar players) would solve our rotation problem in midfield for sure.

Im pretty sure we will make a few signings, I just hope these will be good signings, either for bench or first 11, regardless of price, name etc, as long as they do their job. I dont even want Gotze, Isco, etc, but just make sure we adress at least half the issues we have:

1, back up GK,

2. third striker, (done)

3. Proper backups for Matic and Cesc

4. More creative right winger

5. Terry future replacement; either young or experienced CB

6. Iva future replacement ((depends on Azpi position), or if Luis leaves; new fullback

7. Optional: if Mou wants some more balance and switch to 4:3:3, top box to box CM

8. Optional: If we sell Oscar, a new top AM

If we dont solve half of these problems now, then we will have hell of problem next year and thats what Im more afraid than. Not worried about next season, but season after. We wont be able to get all these players in one window and that will bite us in the ass.

I think Zouma could be Terry's replacement at CB, he's got the talent and from what i've heard, he's got good leadership qualities for a youngster

The priority for this transfer window should be buying a quality CM/DM that can fill in for Matic...then we can worry about a backup GK, future RB, new RW

Difference being their two main guys were old. Xavi is old and the other guy retired to an oil field somewhere. So they had to. The difference being we don't have to do squat

I disagree. We aren't a finished product, we have our holes for sure. Remember 2010 when we did next to nothing after winning the double?

[stroey 2,525]

Could he be the solution for us in big games?

Aranguiz-Matic

Cesc

[supporter 3,088]

Some new rumor about Charles Aranguiz With us?

I think watching the market, it might be a good option to play in our midfield and for allowing Fabregas can have rest throughout the season.

To me, personally, I love the mentality of the players from South America, and I think someone with that personality is what we need, someone with a personality like Mascherano or similar.

maybe Jose could help him to adapt quickly to the rhythm of Premier League.

Regards.

Seems like he goes to Marseille. 10m€.

When I warm up to the idea it is quickly taken down. . Still some hijack maybe but doubt it. Also Witsel agent said they had an agreement with AC Milan on personal terms and they only have to deal with Zenit now. Don't know who that midfielder will be we're about to bring.

What is your source for that info! I just saw your most trusted source @LucaMattiacci saying this: Está muy cerca del Chelsea. and it translates something like that he is very close to signing for Chelsea!
