Except Fabregas will never be like Lampard. Lampard cannot be replaced.

Naturally, but he'd occupy Lampard's position in a 4-3-3. I'm wondering maybe Conte wants to go 4-4-2 with Nainggolan and Kante in the middle, would that work? Provided we get a proper partner to Costa of course.

Put Ruben as an alternative to Cesc, those two on the same team is counter attack heaven for the opposition.

I would put Lewis Baker as an alternative for Cesc

Chelsea are ready to hand N’Golo Kante more than TREBLE his £35,000-a-week wages at Leicester to tempt him to Stamford Bridge. [Mirror]

Need to get this deal wrapped up, he would/will be a top signing. Him and Naigollopops or whatever he's called and we are good to go in midfield.

All we keep hearing is the same spiel from the same sources. Getting a bit bored of this now. If we don't bring in any decent signings we are set to struggle again unless the players who let us down last season, pull their fingers out.

Having an opinion is fine, going over the same record again and again and again isn't, not only that I can't recall you ever posting about something else, if you did maybe you wouldn't get such negative reactions from people.

If we say for argument sake sign Kante, Rajda and Kouliably this summer, would you come on here hold you're hands up an say you were wrong? 

You react because you don't like what I have been posting about the Board.  Whether I post about a single subject or multiple ones does not matter.  If the Board signs those players that you mentioned, that's great for Conte and the club and I would say well done to them.  However, in my opinion, it won't happen.

Now regarding Kante, I have already read the excuses that he won't join us because we can't offer him CL football.  I expect to read about these excuses the whole summer as to why none of our supposed first choice targets will arrive and we are forced to resort to Djilobdoji and Pato signings.

Fabregas in the pirlo role with Kante and Radja as box to box mids, oh my days that would be a dream...

It's early. Be patient.

that was the problem to begin with: we were very patient in replacing ramires and not strengthen the squad. No, I don't think we'd be title winning material regardless - it's the hangover after the title - but we might have avoided last season's fiasco.

Sounds like we are close to some sort of deal reading around.

Where's We Hate Scouse for our inside tips?

So what was all this talk about us having a lot of money to spend? So far we're seriously holding back. I wonder if Euros '16 has anything to do with it, considering injuries are possible etc.

I'd imagine a lot of it was the club wanting the Jose and Eva case sorted and out the way.  Now we have nothing to distract us we can just crack on. Conte will have handed us his list, pre season is 4 weeks away, id expect movement pretty soon tbh
