Last one I'm afraid.

After all the time in the world and all the top players we were connected with..... Marcos Alonso (probably).  And Oscar (nomination) goes to... Chelsea FC! ?????

Agree with everything you said except em...Sakho. I rather wait for Zouma, according to reports he should be back soon.

I think Sakho would be a great addition ON LOAN. If we buy someone it will be a panic buy for too much money. If we loan defender on the other end its good. Sakho is decent, great backup/sometimes started, Liverpool is willing to loan/sell him. I see no bad points in this transfer. When Zouma returns he would of course play in starting eleven.

What makes you think that?  Chances are nobody has any clue what the club have planned

1 or 2 more i suspect

Excited for Alonso, Will be nice to see a proper left footed cross in the acres of space hazard creates. Azpi moves to the right and ivanovic inside. We strengthen at RB and CB with this move. Zouma will be coming back by end of october and up to speed for hectic Winter. Hopefully the board can pull off some more moves! Gotta stay positive.

Same here ... Backup Striker/Attacking midfielder and LB ,,, Just hoping really hard!!!

[Special Juan 27,424]

If we fail to but a CB in the next hours remaining we are going to be found out. It's alright playing Watford and Burnley's of this world but facing Aguero and Ibrahimovic with Cahill and Ivanovic/Terry is worrying which shows the mass importance needed towards a new, but quality CB like right now. Not loans, not 5m stop gaps we need to sort this defence now. 

[Igi26 346]

This looks like Azpi signing (simillarity)  I hope he does well here.

[nono 791]

I'm not upset at all. Compared to Ivanovic he is surely the second coming of Maldini.

What are you on about? It's a left-footed left-back, meaning we now have the option to bench Ivanovic and play Azpi where he belongs. It's like two signings in one, provided he plays of course and is not cut off like Luis or his much inferior (but expensive) replacement Baba. I guess since we aren't dealing with Mourinho anymore, we might actually see changes and some flexibility in team selections.

Is he even allowed to play yet after being coked up?

True, but no smoke without fire and so far there's no other ones linked to us whatsoever from reliable sources. 

I certainly hope you're right the board is doing all the work in the most secret way but it's really unlikely.

Anyway, for me any extra one will be surprising bonus, however I won't moan if Alonso is the last signing.

Not very encouraging.

Chelsea want to pay a lot of money for Marcos Alonso

[Amblève. 4,995]

Deal is done, apparently.

I don't think there will be any defenders available that will make these two less threatening.

I'm not even that worried about ibrahimovic. I'm more worried about anyone fast enough to get in behind our back four. (we'll soon play liverpool lol)If we had zouma at least in some one on one situations he'll compete but I don't know if he'll be the same after that injury. 

I'm happy we're signing a fast left-footed leftback so that our team can look normal with overlapping fullbacks in attack. Hopefully he's a better defender than baba, and can cross properly.

but paying €25 million for him seems like a Bebe-level exercise in absurdity.
